Information
about GLT2 conversion
Description
For Release 3.0, the pool table GLT2 including
its dependent journal entry tables has to be converted to the transparent
table FILCT and its dependent object and journal entry tables, providing the
application FI-LC has already been used since an earlier release for testing
or productively.
Also refer to the step
Required
Activities prior to consolidation in the Implementation Guide
for Consolidation.
If this conversion is necessary, the FI-SL users who also created ledgers in
GLT2 are also affected by this.
The basic procedure for such a conversion is explained in detail in the
Implementation Guide of the Special ledgers in the step --> Tools ->
Conversion and then under 'Additional Information
3.0'.
With reference to the steps listed there, special features for the conversion
of GLT2 are dealt with in detail below:
Step 3. Time of conversion
The conversion should, if possible, be carried out directly after the release
upgrade since the application FI-LC has been completely revised for use with
the new structures and can only be used again after conversion.
Step 4. Procedure during conversion
a) Preparatory
measures
- The new tables are defined in the ABAP/4
Dictionary and have already been installed in FI-SL.
The following tables are included:
FILCT (totals
table)
FILCA (actual
journal entry table)
FILCP (plan journal
entry table)
FILCO (object table
1 with partner-capable fields)
FILCC (object table
2 with transaction attributes).
On the initial screen of the conversion, enter
'GLT2' as the original table and 'FILCT' as the target table.
- A field movement rule has been defined for the
conversion.
You are strongly advised not to make any changes since, otherwise, a
successful conversion cannot be ensured.
a) Carrying out
the conversion
- Conversion of the totals table
- Controlling results of the conversion
You can also use a comparison option in connection with the programs 'Database
list FILCT' (RGCLST00) and 'Database list GLT2' (RGCLST01).
- Conversion of the FI-SL control tables
For the application FI-LC, in particular the following are converted
here:
consolidation
ledger
sets
b) Generating
report groups
You will find all necessary information concerning this topic in the FI-SL
Upgrade Guide.
c) Adapting
your own application programs
You will find all necessary information concerning this topic in the FI-SL
Upgrade Guide.
d) Converting
the journal entry table
You are advised to print a journal entry table list prior to conversion with
the program 'Database list GLS2' (RGCLST11) since the conversion deletes the
old journal entry records.
You can display the converted journal entry records using the program
'Database List: Journal Entry Records' (RGCLST10), among others.
After a successful conversion, the program 'FI-LC: Converting data for
reversing entries into new database fields' (RGCRVS00) has to be run. This is
necessary for the reversing entry logic in the posting transaction.
e) Deleting the
sets for the original table
You will find all necessary information concerning this topic in the FI-SL
Upgrade Guide.
f) Deleting the
old pool tables
The table GLT2 including its dependent journal entry tables may neither be
uninstalled nor removed from the ABAP/4 Dictionary.
