Migrate Closed Sales Data from one SAP system to Other

[Former Member]

Hi,

We have a requirement to migrate Closed Sales Order data from one SAP System to the New SAP system.

Please share your thoughts on the considerations / DOs and Donts for such cases.

Appreciate your response.

Kind Regards,

Hi,

If you want to migrate closed SOs..then first consider why? and from what date i.e how long back?

Following are the considerations:

1) You can't get the creation date same as your previous system dates--this might lead to incorrect reporting. So you'll have to check if its really worth?

2) You might want to have a reference no somewhere in the new transactions from the previous system.

3) If you want to migrate the deliveries, invoices then you've to consider also GL migration as well as payments.

you can use VA05 & VA35 & fetch the sales orders & the Schedule agreements, for documents that have the status as complete or delivery status completely delivered, have the LSMW with a default for reason for rejection value so that it does not affect any requirements planning. this is the way you can create the closed sales orders, but if the requirement is to have all the associated deliveries & invoices, you may need to re-look on the options available.

Thanks & Regards
