Constraints on the Special Ledger

Hi All
I need a bit of expert advise on a solution that I proposed:
I  have a client requirement where they wanted to implement a parallel currency to an existing co code, they are on SAP 4.7. We proposed a new company code as the solution with a new parallel currency in OB22, data migration etc.
However, they were asking for SPL and I think SPL will not work since they dont have a parallel currency maintained in the system for the co code, and when we define the SPL we have to specify the currency of the leading ledger as local and the currency of the second ledger as the group currency and when there isnt one defined, how can we make the values to flow
what happens to CO allocations, the Controlling area is defined in CHF just like the local currency..
What are the contraints of putting SPL onto a prodcutive company code.. any thoughts will be appreciated.
Thanks much
RS

Depends on how much of std reports you use. We make extensive usage of STD SAP reports as well as report painter reports built on GLT0.
1. Reports: You will have to build new reports on SPL to see the numbers  in parallel currency as Std reports on FI side  will not have it.
2. Transfer of Data into SPL which would mean  that periods will need to be closed just to ensure that no document is posted into company while loading of data takes place ( Depends on how much data you want to load, could take anywhere from 30 mins to 8-10 hrs)
3. Carry forwards will need to be run at the end of the year for SPL, hence maintainence .
4. Elimination Entries : I am not sure how elims are booked in your company, but you may have to check that out as well.
5. As you mentioned before "revaluation of fixed assets at acquisition date will not happen with SPL" ( you may have to do research on this one )
These  the the few that come to my mind. Since i am not familiar with your SAP environment, i cannot really comment on why this is better or worst .
I guess, you will have to sit down and analyze the requirement.
There is no right or wrong answer in this, just depends on the need of business.

    Hi Srikanth,
    Could you please throw some light  how can we go for another additional currency with the help of FI-Special Purpose Ledger.
    In our case hard currency (USD) and group currency (INR) are fix.and for additional currency we have only option i.e. Currency type. Is there any another way for creating additional currency in FI-SPL
    We have stuck here on this point. Any answer would be highly appreciable.

  • Go live of a new special ledger

    Hi,
    I need to implement a special ledger, and the company FI is already in production. The problem is that I need to start to work with the special ledger on the date 01.01.20XX, and if I pass the orders on 01.01.20XX the company is still going to enter information (adjustments) in 12.20xx -1 and I don't want to have information of the prior year in the special ledger.
    I want to know if is possible to set the special ledger to be actived in a specific date.
    In addition, which is the process of the go live recommended by sap to start to use a new special ledger when the company is already in production.
    Thanks,

  • New GL or Special Ledger

    We are in the midst of upgrading our environment to ECC 6.0 but we are taking on a Financial Re-design effort  - I am looking to leverage the NEW GL to remove some of our dependency on a CO-PA reporting design and I am hearing from some colleagues that they would like to use  - the Special Ledger to support the new Financial reporting requirements u2013 but I feel the NEW GL is the way to go with the design since it is more integrated with standard reporting u2013 What are your thoughts about continuing to use the Special Ledger functionality over the New GL functionality in ECC 6.0 ?
    Moderator: Please, search SDN

    Hi,
    Definitely, switching over to New GL rather than continuing in conventional SPL.  New GL has lots of advantage and flexibility.  Please go thru the documentation AC210 - New General Ledger Accounting for more details or refer below mentioned link.

  • Problem in extracting data from Z totals table (special Ledger)

    Hi Gurus,
    I am in a task of pulling in specific fields from the Z Totals Table of Special Purpose Ledger into the cube. We only need totals records and do not need line items.
    In SBIW, i have generated the transfer structure and datasource for totals table as per the steps of Generic extraction.
    The problem is that am not able to see all the fields (like balance carried forward, total transactions) in the selection fields screen. While extracting i choose totals records only. But now my datasource got generated and am able to see that it is active (green). But some important fields like balance are missing.
    Please let me know your suggestions / ideas.
    Thanks
    Shreya

    We have the exact same Challenge and Issue.   When I view my generated extract structure 3FI_SL_ZB_TT, I don't see any of my key figures.  This was created off the Special Ledger Summary or totals table.
    For Instance, I need fields KSLVT through KSL16. That is, Balance Carried forward in Group currency (period 0) and, total of transactions of the period in group currency, (periods 1-16).  I don't see these at all in the generated extract structure.  Does that mean it must be appended in via transaction RSA6?
    Also, to get the Balance Carried forward do I have to add 0BALANCE to the extract structure?
    Finally, besides the beginning balance, which wiil remain constant, can I get Month-end Year To Date Balances using this approach.  Note, I don't need detail from the line items table.  I just want to make sure I don't need to use that in concert with a Delta and ODS to get my Month End YTD Balance.  I only need this cube for Balances.
    Thanx,

  • How do I get a special ledger doc to create from a PCA distribution?

    We are looking at using PCA distributions.  Execution of these cycles must create a special ledger document.  It's  my understanding this is done by assigning the appropriate activity/bus transaction to the special ledger.  The activity is PCAD.  When I try to assign this activity to our special ledger via GCL2, PCAD is not included in the list of possibilities for assignment (non-assigned activities that can be assigned).  We currently use cost center distributions and those transfer to special ledger via assignment of activity RKIV to our special ledger.  Not sure what the trick is to PCA distributions.  Any clues?
    Thanks for your response.

    Hi Judy,
    The activy PCAD is related to Component EC-PCA and is possible for Ledger 8A.
    In Order to to bring the Distribution cycles related data meaning the EC PCA Records with Activity PCAD, you need to setup Roll up ledger with appropriate settings. Create a roll up ledger and execute after distribution cycles execution during MEC.
    Hope this clarifies the point.

  • Special ledger updation for plan data

    Hello
    We have a special ledger set up ( custom table ), the table gets updated with the data online. We have couple of co codes having controlling area 1001 and one that is having only STAT. The plan data for that co code( with STAT) is not getting updated in the special ledger online for new year, I found that t code GCLE is used to activate the items but that seems to be not helping and now I can not understand how it is done for new year. Any clues on this one? I am not a functional guy.
    Thanks

    Yes, this option is active and when I post FI documents for example, the special ledger document appear in the transaction currency.
    The proble is that in KP06 when I plan in EUR the special ledger line item has in transaction currency value in USD,that is tyhe company code currency, instead of the transaction currency that I have used (EUR)
    Do you understand me?

    Hello Giamapaolo,
    If you already have ledger I2 for FBICRC002T and you do not need to run FBICS2 to run some kind of BADI implementation you do not need to create any additional ledgers for FBICRC002T.

  • How to de-activate Special Ledger

    Hi
    Some years ago, we have activated a special ledger based on a weekly calendar to get weekly sales.
    This calendar is year-dependent and is maintained upto 2011.
    That means that after 2010, we will not be able to post any document & also in FI will be blocked due to this missing calendar.
    now i want to de-activate this calendar, as the functionality is not used anymore.
    Prakash Sharma

    Dear,
    Use transaction GCVO to deactivate the level at which you have defined special purpose ledger. Transaction GCL4 is used to delete the special ledger but since data is available system may not allow you to delete and it is not even remmeded because you may need past data at any point of time in future.
