Funds Management (BCS) without new ledger active (ECC605)

[Former Member]

Dear experts,

Our client is planning on implementing Funds Management and recently finished an upgrade to ECC605.

They have chosen not to activate the new ledger, so as we understand it, scenarios with tables FAGLFLEX or FMGLFLEX cannot be implemented.

Is it required to activate new ledger in order to implement FM - BCS?

If its not a requirement are there any shortcomings in implementing BCS without new ledger active?

Are there any SAP notes regarding this implementation scenario?

points will be rewarded if answer is helpful.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,

You can perfectly work with BCS and classic G/L. Ceratin FM functions won't be available, though (like on line payment update, which will have to be performed manually via FMF0), but no problems as such. However, decision of your client is not clear: why wouldn't they agree on activation of new G/L. Or is it an old project, where they want to implement FM and not migrate to new G/L?

Hi Eli,

Thanks for your feedback.

To answer your question, the client wants to implement FM but not migrate to new G/L, since they don't need the new functionalities, and see the migration as a risk.

Do you happen to know if any of the new FM functionalities affected, for example Budget Period?

Best regards,

Eduardo

Hi,

So, I see... No, that's the only functionality (on-line update) which will be affected, but easily replaced by manual execution. Budget period could work without new G/L.
