Changeover in Special Purpose Ledger (FI-SL) 

Purpose

The following sections describe the procedure for the changeover to the euro in the Special Purpose Ledger (FI-SL) component.

Implementation Considerations

All the data in all the ledgers in the system for the current fiscal year is converted within the SAP changeover package. Differentiation by ledger or other criteria is not possible.

No pooled tables are converted (table GLT1 in particular). If you are still using pooled tables in production system, you will have to convert them to transparent tables prior to the changeover to the euro. For further details, see the following release note: "Conversion of GLX pooled tables to transparent tables".

Process Flow

The entire process flow of the changeover can be divided into three basic phases:

1. In the preparation phase, you create certain settings and make advance reconciliations for the changeover. This is described in the Implementation Guide.

2. The actual changeover takes place with the preprocessing, conversion and postprocessing activities. You do not have to perform any special activities in FI-SL during the various phases of the changeover.

3. In the cleanup phase, you make manual reconciliations and adjustments that the system cannot do automatically. This is described in the Implementation Guide. For more information on reconciliation problems, read Changeover Procedure (FI-FM)..

Result: Converted Tables

After the changeover, all the currencies in ledgers participating in the monetary union will appear in euro.

The following tables are converted in the Special Purpose Ledger. Additionally, all customer-defined tables (summary, line item, and plan line item tables) are affected.
