Application Customizing (FI-SL)
Use
In addition to maintaining the Customizing settings for the FI_SL_DATA archiving object (see
Archiving Object-Specific Customizing (FI-SL)), you can also perform the following archiving activities in Customizing for the Special Purpose Ledger as required:
Data archived before a local currency changeover is displayed in the original currency. A translation is not carried out in the background.
Features
Define Report Groups and Programs for Archive Reporting
If you want to output Report Writer/Report Painter reports to evaluate archived data and/or databases, you have to assign the corresponding report groups to the archiving object FI_SL_DATA. You can specify any of the report groups that you have created in reporting. The report groups 0M11 and 0M12 are delivered with the SAP R/3 System and contain reference reports for table GLFUNCT. You can then call up these report groups from the archive administration.
You do not have to specify the archive report programs that you generated in Customizing (see next section). The system automatically includes these programs so that you can execute them in archive reporting.
You can also assign your own programs that read archived data to the archiving object FI_SL_DATA. You can then call up these programs from the archive administration (transaction SARA).
Generating Sequential Read Programs
SAP provides ABAP read programs for some of the standard tables delivered with the Special Purpose Ledger application component (for example, GLT1, GLS1, GLP1, GLFUNCT, GLFUNCA, GLFUNCP). These programs enable you to output totals reports and actual and plan line item reports that evaluate archived data and/or database data.
If you have modified the standard tables or want to use standard tables for which there are no generated programs, you can generate the read programs.
If you have installed and activated your own database tables in the Special Purpose Ledger, you can also generate read programs for evaluating archived and/or database data. You can then call up these programs from the archive administration.
For read programs generated in this way, only sequential archive access is possible. The archive files are read completely. You cannot access the archive via the Archive Information System (SAP AS).
Regenerating Coding for Archiving Programs
Before you create an archive and execute the archiving program, you can regenerate the code for the archiving programs in Customizing for the Special Purpose Ledger.
You only need to regenerate the coding before you start to archive if syntax errors have occurred in the archiving programs. Coding is generated automatically when you first install the Special Purpose Ledger application component (table group installation). It is also advisable to regenerate coding if you have changed your system setup.
You must not regenerate coding when other programs for the archiving object FI_SL_DATA are running.
