Changes in Customizing

Description

Release 3.0 contains a number of technical changes in Customizing in Profit Center Accounting. These primarily involve the fixed ledger '8A' and the new transaction data tables (see the release note Changes in the transaction data tables ).

The old control information is automatically converted to Release 3.0 when you update your system. However, you should check the converted control parameters anyway (see the chapter Analyze settings in Customizing).

The profit center ledger 8A

As of Release 3.0, postings to Profit Center Accounting are written to the fixed ledger 8A. It is no longer possible to define a separate ledger for each controlling area. You also no longer need to enter the ledger on selection screens. In addition, it is now easier to maintain a number of diverse control parameters.

You can transfer the data stored there to the new ledger at a later point in time (see the chapter Convert from Release 2.x to 3.0 in the Implementation Guide). However, if you want to continue posting to the old ledger after upgrading your system, proceed as follows:
