Adding Non-Leading Ledger after Go Live

Greetings SAP'ers,
We are 2 months live with one of our Central American entities and we have New GL active, document splitting, etc., and now we find out we need a non-leading ledger for one of the countries for local reporting. Does anyone have experience adding a non-leading ledger after go-live? And if so, what are the implications of the documents already posted to that company code. Is there a migration of posted documents? The documentation is unclear as to whether this can be done.
Please let me know your experience.
Thanks,
Jim Steinle

Hello
As far as I know, One company many company codes can have only one leading ledgers and non leading ledgers for each company code.
In your case, you have not assigned a ledger to the company code. So the data must have been in the leading ledger.
And now if you assign, all the data henceforth would go to the ledger, but not sure of the past data.
Suggest you to create in quality and test check.
If it does not work out, then there should be note specifying a program to revive the data from leading ledger ?

*assign points if useful / I am not sure if it is really useful

Ledger Group field NOT showing in FB03 after activating Non- Leading ledger

Dear All Experts,
I have activated non leading ledger for my company code and posted the document successfully from FB60. Now coming to FB03 I can see the document in Local Currency and Group Currency - USD but the Ledger Group field still shows complete blank. As I guess it MUST show 1F ( Non Leadig Ledger ) which is my non leading ledger.
Where I missed the configurtation step ? If anybody has gone through the same issue please guide or provide some inputs.
Regards,
Revati Joshi.

Non-leading ledger use t codes FB01L and FB50L
The reason that the Ledger Group 0L is being used it´s because the Accouting Principle of your Valuation Area.
What you have to do is you need to create a new Ledger Group and assgn it to your valutaion area.
Then you assign this accounting principle to the valution area.
Then assign the accounting principle to no Ledger Group.
Please see the customizing path:
Define new Ledger Group:
Financial Accounting (New)>Financial Accounting Global Settings (New)>Ledgers>Ledger>Define Ledgers for General Ledger Accounting (dont active your new ledger as leading ledger. leave the standard as the leading )
Assign Accounting Principle to none New Gl Group:
Financial Accounting (New)>General Ledger Accounting (New)>Periodic Processing>Valuate>Check Assignment of Accounting Principle to Ledger Group
Assign your Valuation Area to the accounting principel just assigned to none NewGL Group:
Financial Accounting (New)>General Ledger Accounting (New)>Periodic Processing>Valuate>Assign Valuation Areas and Accounting Principles
Now you have more then one Ledger Group in you client (which is not being used for nothing) and you have a valuation area that is linked to a Accounting Principle that is linked to no Ledger Group.
Go ahead now and execute the FAGLF101. You will see that the standard will not try to inform leading ledger in the Group of Ledger.
I found this solutiong debbuging the standard. Took me quite a bit to discover.
The problem was in SPRO->Financial Accounting(New)->General Ledger Accounting(New)->Periodic Processing->Valuate->Check Assignment of Accounting Principle to Ledger Group. In "Target Ledger Group" field, the ledger "0L" were configured in BRAP and GAAP. So, the system automatically assigned the ledger "0L" when performing FAGLF101.

Retrospective Posting in Non-Leading Ledger

Hi there,
Please advise if it is possible to update the previous transactions in the non-ledaing ledger, which will be activated later; after the leading ledger has been gone live for few months.
How can this be done?
Thank you.

Hi,
at the moment it is not posible to fulfill the scenario that you decribed. In my opinion it does not mak sense to active a non leading ledger some month later then the leading ledger. To have more than one ledger means that we are talking about parallel accounting and therfore all the ledgers have to be implemented at the same time
Kind regards

Report Painter for Non Leading Ledger (Error GH113)

Hi,
Kindly note that we are in the process of enhancing a report for Monthly Balance Sheet as per our client's requirement. The report is based on report painter and we want to add Ledger as an input selection so that the report can be run for Leading Ledger(0L) and for Non Leading ledger(CL)as well .Initially there was no ledger selection and the report ran only for Leading ledger (0L). However when we try to run it for non leading ledger CL it throws an error message GH113 (more than one ledger not allowed in drill down report.)
Our ABAP Consultants have investigated this issue and suggested that for field (RLDNR) ledger the program is picking up "CL" as per input selection , However 0L is also getting captured thereby resulting in conflict and consequently throwing error GH113.
Concern
1) Does this report has a constraint that it can be run only for leading ledger and not for non leading ledger?
2) Apart from report painter form are there any other default setting which extracts "0L" and puts in the report.
Also note that the report painter form settings have been checked thoroughly and ledger has been defined as local variable for input selection.
Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for your quick response. I have already added the ledger as part of report selection and declared it as a local variable so that input selection is possible. but When I select the non leading ledger "CL" and try to execute report it throws error message GH113.
have checked all the settings in report painter form and not too sure as to from where the report is picking up Leading ledger "0L" although as a part of input selection i have selected non leading ledger "CL"
Appreciate your response.
Thanks

Profir center determination in non leading ledger in tcode ABAA

Hello experts,
We are working on ECC6.0 and parallel ledger is already activiated. To post the unplanned depreciation only in the non leading ledger, I have created new transaction type and attched it to non leading dpereciation area. After entring through transaction code ABAA, when I run ASKB to post the entry in the financial books, I get the profit cetner determination error. Entry is as under:
Depreciation A/c ..........Dr
To Accumualted Depreciation Account.
Now for depreication account being expense account and having cost element system is asking for the profit center (cost center).
My question is, how can I guide the system to determine the profit center from cost center mentioned in asset master data?
Please advise.
Shailesh

Dear sir,
Please check your seetings in T.code ACSET. Whether KOSTL as a account assignment object defined or not. If not then please make the entry, by doing so system will check the cost center in asset master and will pick the profit center maintained accordingly.
As well check account assignment type as a 02 Depreciation Run
I hope this may help and solve the issue.

Pankaj A Bhalerao.

Cost center not updated when posting in non leading ledger

Hello FI Experts
I have two ledgers - Leading and Non Leading Ledger.
When I posted expense entry it updated both the ledgers and updated cost center value. This updated value i checked in cost center report KSB1.
For Ex: Rs. 1,00,000
Now I posted another expense entry in non leading ledger only. For Ex: Rs.50,000
How ever this entry didn't updated cost center report value. I checked in report KSB1
So I want to know:
1. Are there any cost center reports / profit center reports in controlling module where I can get non leading ledger specific amount in cost centers and profit centers
2. Is it possible to run assesment and distribution cycle, cost reposting and other CO transactions for non leading ledger amount
Deepak

Hi Deepak.
You can verify is the cost center was posted on document running tcode SE16N on the FALGFLEXA table, put the document number to do research.
After you can trying to post the new document through Tcode FB50L choosing or not a legder specific, then verify the document was posted correctly running the Tcodes SKb1 or Se16N with FAGLFLEXA table again.
Also you can check this link Checking the Allocation of General Ledgers to Cost Centres

Subsequent Activation of Non Leading Ledger

Dear Experts,
We are now in 6.0 version of SAP with New GL and Profit Centre Document Splittings. Our Leading Ledger is for Local Indina GAAP. Now we want to create new non leading ledger for IFRS.
Whether we will take help of SAP for migration of old account balances beacuse we will create non leading ledger on 01.06.10 and we went go live on 01.02.2008.
Or we should take help of any consulting firm for implemnentation as we know any how for balance transfer to non leading ledger SAP migration tool to be used.
Please help.
Regards,
Alok

Hi,
Many different migration scenarios are imaginable for the transition from classic General
Ledger Accounting to new General Ledger Accounting, ranging from the straightforward
merge of existing ledgers to a totally new conception of accounting, such as the introduction
of segment reporting for compliance with new accounting principles. In particular in the case
of a new conception of accounting, there are two aspects to the transition to new General
Ledger Accounting: firstly, a conceptual business part, and secondly, a technical part dealing
with the migration of the existing accounting data to the new structures for General Ledger
Accounting.
The new features relate to very extensive changes, the transition to new General Ledger
Accounting is very complex, and the data volume involved is not to be underestimated. A
comprehensive analysis of your situation at the outset and the detailed planning of the
migration are crucial to the success of the migration.
We therefore recommend setting up an individual project for the migration,
entailing project phases, milestones, and so forth, and taking the appropriate
steps to ensure sufficient testing and training.
To achieve a high degree of safety in this respect, SAP accompanies each migration project
with the SAP General Ledger Migration Service. This mandatory technical service relates to
the standard migration scenarios and contains a scenario-specific General Ledger Migration
Cockpit and service sessions to ensure the quality of the data and of the migration project.
The service sessions are performed by the General Ledger Migration Back Office that has
been set up especially for this purpose.
Hence please contact SAP consulting for this Activity...

New non-leading ledger activation

We are in SAP since last one year. Now i want to add one Non-leading ledger which is to be assigned to the existing copany code. It is possible, if it, how.

Hi,
1: never did it on my own (but who knows what comes next...).
2: Guess its possible by doing
2 a: all the customization required for other local ledgers
2 b: and after excessive testing (!!!) transporting the changes to P-client at a time with no posting activity.
The best time to do so is the night before the new fiscal year begins to ensure that all postings regarding the new fiscal year are within the new ledger.
Nevertheless you need to bring opening balance to the new ledger (group) exclusively using specific posting transactions like FB01L, ABF1L,...) and you will have postings regarding the old fiscal year (for fiscal year end-closing).
Maybe you can create a ledger group for the old ledgers and make a substitution rule that old fiscal year postings only happen in the old ledgers, to keep the new ledger "clean".
As I said, I never did it, but it doesn't sound impossible although I guess its a lot of work...
Best regards, Christian

Exit for to restict Non-leading ledger posting periods for Document Type SA

Hi,
Please give the guidelines to complete the following requirment.
In SAP FI two ledgers Leading(0L), Non-Leading (J2) Posting periods are defined in OB52.
If non-leading ledger is closed also it will take the Leading posting periods and Posting the document..
This is the SAP Behaviour.
Like in FB50L if we enter J2 (Non-Leading) it will display the erro message like
Posting period in not open.
Like that they want for FB70,FB75,MIGO,MIRO,FINT and Invoice(VF01).
Please suggest the suitable exit.
Thanks & Regards,
Padmaja.

Hi Ramu,
Please refer the below points,
1. Leading ledger is only one ledger in one client.
2. In one client you can keep N of non leading ledgers.
3. company codes are need assign to non leading ledgers.
4. All postings will update leading ledger by default.
5. Non leading ledgers will update if company code is assigned to non leading ledger.
6. If you want to post only non leading ledger then please use the tcode FB50L and FB01L.
7 You can set the separeate fiscal year variant for non leading ledger.
I hope above information will resolve you r issue.

Posting period for Non leading ledger

Hi
I am having Leading ledger & Non Leading ledger.
I am posting a document on a particular date. The period relating to that date in leading ledger is open & in non leading ledger is closed.
As per SAP standard the system will check the leading ledger & allow the posting.
Is it possible to write a validation for the following scenario.
If a document is posted the system should check the posting period in both leading & non leading ledger, if both are open then only the document should gets posted other wise an error message should be displayed.
Kinldy help me to address this issue.
Regards
R.Karthigayan

You have a few options here.
1 make sure your periods align each other
2 Use both selection options in OB52 and allow certain users to restricted periods
3 Use authorizations to validate the user if they can post into a period
4 Create a user exit on the save accounting document function module to check the rules.
Please award points if this is useful.

Co object assignment to a non-leading ledger account while posting

Hi,
while I m trying to post a document for non-leading ledger account which is opened as a cost element. for leading ledger it has to be filled by cost objects but in non-leading ledger is it a must ? In my opinion in non-leading ledger postings doesnt need to have cost objects because in CO it contains only leading ledger. am I wrong ?
