Mass Processing (SAP Library - European Monetary Union: Euro (CA-EUR))

Mass Processing

Use

From Release 4.5B, there is a mass processing function for converting the contract currency to the euro, which uses the existing process management functions.

Features

The use of process management allows you to map a simple conversion process in the system.

In contrast to other process management or rollover functions, loans do not remain in the output register if an error occurs during processing (for example, ‘UB: Not processed). Instead, the loans are put into a suspended register. When processing is complete, all the loans which have not been converted are in the suspended register.

See also: Process Management.

Activities

During the changeover, the system generates a four logs.

a. Process management log:

This is the existing log for process management functions. When you convert the contract currency to the euro as a background job, the log is written to the spool. If you carry out the conversion online, the log is displayed on the screen.

b. Log for contract currency conversion to the euro:

This is the existing log for the contract currency conversion to the euro. You can call up the log via transaction SGL1 and object FTLE. There is a reference to this log in the log for process management.

c. Posting log:

This is the same as the log used for posting functions.

d. Error log (postings containing errors)

The function for converting the contract currency is the same, regardless of whether you convert individual loans or use the mass processing option (refer to: Conversion of the Contract Currency

On the selection screen for contract currency conversion (individual processing), you can opt to put a loan in a file for mass processing.

The remaining capital in original currency on the conversion date is saved with the backup data for the loan and can be used in correspondence. This means that the remaining capital does not need to be recalculated on the basis of the backup data. The other capital amounts are not saved. The remaining capital amount is stored for both individual processing and mass processing.

The Test run indicator is not supported for the mass processing conversion option (RFVDEMU3). You should therefore deactivate the indicator when you define the report functions.

If you do set the Test run indicator, the system does not convert the loans.
