Changeover Package 

Definition

The changeover package is used to perform technical local currency conversion. and starts all those programs necessary to convert local currency. It contains field assignments that define the algorithm by which conversion must take place for each table or field to be converted. This package contains all report programs, together with details on their assignment to individual phases.

Status management ensures that all programs run in the correct sequence and that postprocessing programs are not started until the previous program has run.

Use

In the IMG, copy a changeover package from client 000 for each changeover. This is the package with which you carry out the entire changeover.

The standard system contains different changeover packages:

You require the standard package regardless of which application components you implement.

You require this package if you implement the FI-LC application component.

You require this package if you implement the EC-CS application component.

If you implement these above mentioned application components, copy the appropriate packages (in addition to the standard package). You require the standard package regardless of which components you implement.

Changeover is carried out using the active package only, regardless of the number of packages you may have copied. Packages are activated in the Implementation Guide (IMG).

Integration

The changeover package forms part of the European Monetary Union - Euro (CA-EUR) application component.
