Hello MSAP,
Following is the list of impact generally encountered when you activate New GL.
Activation is done in configuration after which in the SAP reference IMG, the Financial Accounting menu is replaced with the Financial Accounting (New) menu.
(ii) The tables of the New GL are activated – posting data is written to them.
Note that tables of the Classic GL (GLT0) continue to be updated by default
which allows for reconciliation of posting results between both sets of tables during implementation to ensure that the New GL is working properly. Once the same is validated Classic GL can be deactivated.
While it has been mentioned that activating New GL involves activating a flag in IMG, there is no push button solution, a separate project for conversion is required.
SAP is in the stage of developing a support program for different scenarios to assist, the same would have separate ramp up.
Migration from Classic GL will involve the following considerations.
Master Data- Existing Profit Centers will need to be assigned to segment.
Field Status Group of GL accounts need to be revisited for new additional account assignments.
(ii) Open items- SAP delivers transfer report, RGURECGFLEX to generate the new data Open items tables (BSID, BSIK etc.), Document Tables (BKPF,BSEG).
(iii) Opening Balance- Initial balance sheet items transferred to table FAGLFEXT via rollup from GLT0. EC-PCA and FI-SL ledgers if applicable are other starting points for migration of totals.
(iv) Document Splitting- During data transfer documents are split based on configuration settings. Data transfer time frame should be wide enough to include all open items. Old documents cannot be split according to new account assignment, complete balance sheet according to new dimension is available after transitional time period.
Hope I had been able to help you. Please assign points.
