Data Transfer from SAP Application Components 

You can transfer data from other SAP application components to your Special Purpose Ledger using the subsequent posting procedure. This is especially useful prior to a production start for entering beginning balances in your special purpose ledgers. After a production start, you transfer the data continually using an online method.

Note the following points before transferring data from other SAP application components to your special purpose ledgers.

• Only complete the data transfer when no other users are making postings in the system.
• Make certain that data from these application components is not already in your ledger(s). If you transfer the data twice, the data will be entered twice in the ledger(s). You can delete existing data. You can also check whether the data is already present.
• You have to set posting indicator 2 (ledger is updated by subsequent postings) or 3 (ledger is updated directed and by subsequent postings) for the ledger that is to receive data from other application components.

Using the subsequent posting procedure, you can transfer data from the following application components:
