Want to know what is the best practice to migrate the open invoices from the legacy system. Is it to create the FI documents directly or to create the SD Invoices as well. If SD invoices need to be created then the task will be cumbersome as the preceding documents will as well need to be created.
Thanks Bheem, I also have an opinion of going ahead with option of creating FI open customer items.
I was even suggested other option of creating the debit memo request followed by debit memos for the Open Invoices (from legacy system). This will avoid creation of delivery / shipments. But this option also doesn't seem to be feasible.
We had the same situation in our project and we implemented the FI open items instead of creating other documents. It will reduce the load efforts as well as settling effort afterwards.
I came across both the situations. In one of my earlier projects, client insisted to upload even the billing data in SAP and we had to create LSMW for Sale Order creation, Delivery and Billing for six months data prior to Go-Live, without impacting inventory side since sales team wanted to access sales data from SAP. So it is upto client to decide which data to migrate into SAP but the best approach would be, as already suggested, to upload the open items directly in FI.
As already pointed out, there are many variations and it depends on what is the business requirement. In one rollout we've actually used deliveries without the order reference because we didn't need the order information, but we needed to consume the goods (PGI) and bill the customer from SAP.
