http://www.saptechies.com/sap-pdf-books-download/SAP_Go_live_strategy11248141773.pdf
Check the bwlow procedure for the same way do it.
First create 5 Dummy GL codes. These GL code should be zero at the end of uploading balances.

Load FI data only for open items
Hi all
I want to load FI data only for open items.
We started off with FI_GL_4 which has STATUSPS(status of FI line item)based on which we have written a start routine to filter out the closed items.
But for other FI-GL datasources we dont have STATUSPS field.
Then can we load data directly without applying any restriction on it as we dont have STATUSPS field in it?
Or is there an other way to find all open items ?
Please helpout.
Awaiting replies.
Harika.Hi Harikag,
when you are loading delta data in 0FI_GL_4, it is NOT the right approach to load only the open items.
Say for example, you have loaded a record with open status.
If the status of the record gets changed to 'Closed' in SAP, then this will not flow to BW, because of the filter that you are trying to apply in the data load.
So the item will continue to remain open in BW, though it is closed in R3.
hence it is highly recommended to do this filtering at report level.
Otherwise, you are looking at full load option by dropping data everyday, which will have performance issues in loading.
Thanks,

Data Migration for Open Purchase Order
Hi, All,
Is there anyone know how to Count the volume for Open Purchase Order. What's the normal strategy for the Data Migration and Cut-over stage?
My client want to know how many Open Purchase Order in the legacy system and then determine manual or automatic data migration. If manual, how to do? If automatic, how to do? Because all materials and vendors, plants are different number. How to track? How to find out to match between new and old?
Thank you very muchJC,
Sounds a bit early to be making decisions about the realization phase. It doesn't sound like you have finished the Blueprinting phase yet, much less the testing phase.
Anyhow, in my experience I typically use LSMW (Legacy system migration workbench) to load MM master data (material masters), Inventory (WIP, RM, FG, etc) Purchasing Master data (Vendors, Purchase Info Records, Source Lists, Quota Arrangements), and Purchasing transactional documents (POs, PurReqs, Scheduling Agreements, etc). Depending on the complexity and volume of data, it may be necessary to write custom programs to load the data. You will find this out during your requirements gathering.
It is uncommon but possible to load all of these data manually. I have never run across a client that wants to pay a consultant's hourly rate to sit at a terminal to peck away loading master data, so if the client intends to have his own users enter the data manually, the project manager should make provision that there will be qualified TRAINED client employees available for this data entry. I did help with a portion of a conversion once manually; of Sales Credits, but there were only about 30 SD docs to load. I did this the evening before go-live day, while I was waiting for some of my LSMW projects to complete in the background.
A good opportunity to 'practice' your data loads is right after you have completed your development and customization, and you have gotten the approval from the client to proceed from the pilot build to the full test environment. Once you have moved your workbench and customization into the client's test environment, but before integration testing, you can mass load all, or a substantial portion of your conversion data into the qual system. You can treat it like a dry run for go-live, and fine tune your processes, as well as your LSMW projects.
Yes, it is good practice to generate comparisons between legacy and SAP even if the client doesn't ask for it. For Purchase orders on the SAP side, you could use any of the standard SAP Purchasing reports, such as ME2W, ME2M, ME2C, ME2L, ME2N. If these reports do not meet the requirements of the client, you could write a query to display the loaded data, or have an ABAPer write a custom report.
You didn't ask, but you should also do comparisons of ALL loaded data - including master data.
It sounds like you are implying that the client wants YOU to extract the legacy data. For an SAP consultant, this is not very realistic (unless the legacy system is another SAP system). Most of us do not understand the workings of the myriad legacy systems. The client is usually expected to produce one or more legacy system technical experts for you to liase with. You normally negotiate with the technical expert about every facet of of the data migration. In addition, you will liase with business users, who will help you and the implementation team to logically validate that the final solution (turnkey SAP production system, fully loaded with data) will meet the client's business needs.
Finally, you mentioned how do you track the mapping of master data between legacy and SAP. There are many ways to do this. I normally try to get the legacy person do the conversion on his end, eg, when he gives you the load file, you would like to have already translated the master data and inserted the SAP relevant values into the file. If this is not possible, I usually use MS Access databases to maintain a master map, and I perform the mapping on a PC. If your data package is small, you can probably get by using MS Excel or similar.
Good Luck,

NewGL Migration - Process Open items BADI
Hi ,
We are migrating with document splitting, in the process document split for open items BADI we can assign a account assignment object to enrich the document with the splittign characteristics defined. Currently it works for blank open item docuemnts ( meaning if the business area is blank it fills with the right value) but if the field already as values, it throws a validation error, that the field changes are not permitted Error FAGL_MIG_022.
Any help on how to replace the old values to new values will be appreciated. Its for Business area and its defined as
split characterittics with required indicator.
ThanksHi,
I think It's more of question for business users, coz you can accommodate either way;
1) Upload balances with original invoice rate, so that at payment correct forex gain/loss will be booked.
2) Alternatively,Business 'Realize' the forex diff. at the go-live date, and upload the balance in Gain/Loss GL accordingly. Now, all the AR/AP balance are uploaded with the rate maintained at go-live date, and later on SAP will calculate the diff. between the payment date and go-live date. This way also forex is booked correctly in accounts.
I'd suggest option 2 because it's straight forward. In option 1, you will have to upload the exch.rates for each invoice which could be different.
I hope you followed.
Thanks,

Migration of Open Items with Old/New Vendor/Customer number
Hi All,
We are currently working on conversion of Open items. We already have data extracted from legacy system.
Question : I understood that open items extract will have vendor number from legacy and conversion of vendor master will generate new vendor numbers. So what is the best way to update open items extract with new vendor numbers.
Should be done via ABAP program using custom table to store old and new vendor numbers?
What is the best approach to old/new number updation as this issue will again pop up during other conversion objects.
Any help on this will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
DharmeshHi Dharmesh
In relation to your question about what is the best approach to the old/new recoding, I donu2019t know it exactly.
One option is yours: the custom table to store old and new vendor numbers.
Another is to use the u201CSearch termu201D field in vendor master to store the old vendor number, and the ABAP program will look for the conversion in it. Furthermore in the future the user will be able to know the old code in case he/she needs to consult something in the legacy system. If you choose this option, I would recommend make this field only u201CDisplayu201D (not u201Centryu201D) in order to prevent the user from modifying it, once you have loaded the master.
Other option could be to respect the legacy vendor numbers. It depends on the goodness of the legacy coding, technical-wise. If you selected this option, you must define the number range with u201Cnumber range flagu201D = external. In this way, when you register your vendors, you have to assign the vendor number, in this case this would be the legacy code. After the vendor loading process, you have to change the u201Cnumber range flagu201D = internal, and to change the u201Ccurrent numberu201D, typing the bigger vendor number. From that moment on, the system will assign vendor numbers automatically.
I donu2019t know if I have helped you a little. If you want me to explain some aspect better, donu2019t hesitate to ask it to me.
Best regards.
