ALE methods in SAP General Ledger
Hi,
I am working on SAP General Ledger. I heard that data is transferred to the central general ledger using ALE methods which are part of the General Ledger Accounting (FI-GL) component.
I know a about ALE but I am trying to grasp what does it mean when it says Using ALE methods as a part of general ledger component.
Thanks.

Tushar.

Migrating to SAP General Ledger (NewGL) on a different box
We are looking at migrating to SAP General Ledger on a production system with over 150 company codes and 10 years of unarchived data. Since this results in pretty large database tables we are looking at several options to minimize business impact.
Among the available options, I have been told that it is possible to perform a migration from one box to another rather than in-place. I'm having trouble visualizing how transactional data from other modules (CO, SD, MM, PP etc) would be preserved in this case.
Can anyone tell me if migrating from classic GL on one box to new GL on another is possible? Does it really reduce downtime? If so, how does it achieve this time savings? What are the pitfalls of taking this approach? Can a box-to-box approach be taken without loss of non-GL transactional data?
Thanks in advance,
PaulHi,
we migrated on 31st of march 2008 3 different 46c systems (AT, IN, CN) with 3 huge and a few small company codes into one ECC 60 system (using HR, SD, MM, PM, PP, QM, FI, CO). In ECC 60 we are using NewGL, document split, functional area reporting, PRCTR-wise balance sheets, segment reporting, FI/CO online integration, leding ledger IFRS, 2 non leading ledgers for every comp. code,...
The migration project was started a year before go-live the system downtime was only the 31st of march (one day) for each company code.
The main thing was, that we decided not to migrate any old transactional data to the new system but only the data (master data, open items, open PO's,...) thats needed.
So the old stuff remains still in the old system (FY-end closing was done there) and all comp.codes started the new fiscal year in the new system.
Due to the fact that many reporting issues where covered by business warehouse this ensured a continously reporting across the old and new system landscape and there was never a need to have "old" data visible in the new system.

Payment method for Special General Ledger
Dear Friends,
Can anyone please explain me about the Payment method and Payment request difference.
I got a two definitions in SAP liabiary
Under head Payment method and bank determination:
The payment program supports all payment methods including special G/L ledger account transactions (e.g payment with bill of exchange, down payment,u2026)
and Under head Payment methods:
The payment program for payment requests does not support payment methods portrayed via special general ledger transactions (e.g. bill of exchange, bill of exchange payment request).
Please let me know why he mentioned that the special gl trans. are suported by one defination and other one is not supported.
Please explain in simple english language.
Thanks in advance,
Mahendra DevDear Mahendra,
There is a simple logic behind these two:
Payment requests are not the real documents like payment dues. If there is any due then these are generated. So It says system does not consider the Payment requests for Spl GL transactions.

General ledger / sub ledger reconciliation, without new GL:
Hi experts, hope you can help me with this quick question:
My client is currently reconciling SAP General Ledger and Subledger balances in excel spreadsheets, for Customer and Vendors.
The reconciliation is as follows, when the postings are done on general ledger on a reconciliation account and on the correspondent sub ledger, the line items have to be checked on both to be sure that transfer has been done correctly. Currently this process if done by a Vlookup in Excel, using the reference number as join between the data extracted.
We are running ECC6.0, without the new GL, do you know if there is a standard program to make this reconciliation, I will appreciate any documentation about this topic.
Thanks in advance.Firstly, why would there be any difference between the total of customer/vendor sub-ledger balances and the balance on the reconciliation account(s)? The posting to the reconciliation account is happening automatically right, when you are posting to a customer/vendor (basing on the reconciliation account assigned in the customer/vendor master)? And system would not allow direct postings to reconciliation accounts, which eliminates the threat of reconciliation GL account going out of balance as compared to the sub-ledger accounts.
However, you can run FBL3N or FS10N for the reconciliation account(s) and match it with the total balance on all customers/vendors using transaction FBL5N/FBL1N. -
Difference in Open Balance As per Trial Balance and General Ledger in SAP
Dear All,
1 ) Whle generating trial balance in SAP B1 for one Business master there is a difference in Opening Balance as per Trial Balance and as per General Ledger how ever closing balance in matching.
Difference As follows
Report Name ob cr ob dr dr cr CL
General Balance 614536 19237612.34 18650320.01 1201828.33
Trial balanceB 4521743.19 19237612.34 13514040.82 1201828.33
Is it possible the open balnce should be same in both report. The opening balance as per GL report is correct.
2) I have run the period end closing for Apr- 2010 to Mar 2011 after that I generated the traial balance for Apr-1-2011 where the opening balances for expense account and revenue account is showing technically after period end closing the balance become zero for all closing balance revenue and expenses accounts.
Please note that there are some entries in revenue and expense account in on 1st apr. 2011.
Please guide on this.
Regards
Aarati Kollur.
<a href="http://www.youtubemp3.net/">youtube mp3</a>, <a href="http://www.limewire.name/">limewire</a>Hi,
I think you should re-visit the selection creteria for the Trial balance.
The Display Opening Balance has two options. If you select from 'Start of Company activity', then it will include every balance of previous year.
Check for the Display Closing balance option as well. As you have performed the Period End closing, the checkbox options can have an impact on the outcome in the report.
Check the selection again.
Kind Regards,

Business One C# DI API's for General Ledger Report?
I am working on the General Ledger Report and unable to find the DI API's for C# for the following cases. If somebody can point me the API's, that would be really helpful. I have handle to the logged in company.
Get all ChartOfAccounts
Get AccountSegmentations
Get BusinessPartners
Get JournalEntries_lines
I am new to SAP. The documentation is bit unclear. I am using the following code to load the objects. Now it is unclear how to loop through the journalvouchers to load all the lines one by one.
SAPbobsCOM.AccountSegmentations segmentations = oCompany.GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.oAccountSegmentations);
SAPbobsCOM.AccountSegmentationCategories categories = oCompany.GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.oAccountSegmentationCategories);
SAPbobsCOM.BusinessPartners partners = oCompany.GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.oBusinessPartners);
SAPbobsCOM.JournalVouchers vouchers = oCompany.GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.oJournalVouchers);
SAPbobsCOM.JournalEntries jEntries = oCompany.GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.oJournalEntries);
SAPbobsCOM.JournalEntries_Lines jLines;Hi,
Are you trying to run the report via code? If so, you can only do that using the UI objects as there is not DIAPI for reporting.
You first need to activate the menu item for the report:
connect.SboApp.ActivateMenuItem("13058");
Once you've done that, you can get the active form which will be your criteria window, use the UIAPI to set your criteria and run the report by getting the OK button object and calling the Click method.

Hi Experts,
Please provide me some info about New General Ledger.
1) What are the major differences between General Ledger and New General Ledger?
2) What happen to General ledger reports (BI Content Reports) when we implement New General Ledger? Are new General Ledger reports (BI Content Reports) will replace old BI content reports? Are any changes required to existing ones?
3) Which plugin in ECC?
Thanks in advance.
Rgds,
RamHi
BW Release 3.1 makes consistent data extraction in the delta method possible for line items in General Ledger Accounting (FI-GL), and selected subsidiary ledgers (Accounts Receivable FI-AR and Accounts Payable FI-AP) and tax reporting. The extraction procedure delivered with BW Release 2.0B, based on DataSources 0FI_AR_3 and 0FI_AP_3 , can be replaced. This is described in note 0410797.
1) What are the major differences between General Ledger and New General Ledger?
The new delta enabled GL Accounts for group reporting like 0fi_gl/ap/ar/tx_4 . New Asset Accounting Turn over ratios for better reporting capability.
2) What happen to General ledger reports (BI Content Reports) when we implement New General Ledger?
Are new General Ledger reports (BI Content Reports) will replace old BI content reports? Are any changes required to existing ones?
the Old reports are existing like that only. Some of them need changes
3) Which plugin in ECC?

Is it correct. Can you please confirm.
Thanks
SenthilHello Senthil,
Yes, thats engough, since SAP is recommending the same for that datasource 0FI_GL_14. I think you are already in that version.
See this SAP help document
[DataSource Transactional Data: 0FI_GL_14|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/45/4f8e8bbf3f4f63a5dd197ef7d53fa2/content.htm]

Posting of CarryForward New general ledger
Hi financial wizards,
our client uses new general ledger. The accounting block has been extended with some ZZ user fields carrying results determined via substitution exits during posting.
The additional customer fields are added to the accounting block and are stored on item level (BSEG) as on aggregate level (FAGLFLEXT).
After the run of transaction FAGLGVTR - 'Balance Carryforward (New)' we have the correct values in the carryforward column of the target account, but values from customer fields are not transfered.
SAP will not help us with a note at this time; the features may be integrated in a later release.
Now my question: How to post the carryforward values manually or by program? I know the SAP Carryforward does not create any documents but after the run the Carryforward period (period 0 in former times) is filled with the sums of previous years P+L accounts. Carryforward works correct i.E. for profit center but not for the additional clients fields.
We need some good ideas as how to overcome this obstacle.
Regards,
ClemensDear Peter,
I am afraid that you are mistaken. There is lot of difference between the New GL Accounting and COPA. They are entirely different and its utility is also different.
Here in New Gl, Characteristics means, segment characteristics, for example, business area, profit center, functional area, segment.
Trust this answers your query!
Cheers,

Reviewing General Ledger Accounts - No line item detail
I have just started with a new company using SAP Business One for the first time. My frustration is when reviewing the general ledger line items that there is no detail coming through that lets me see what the amounts relate to. No Description or Vendor Name. There is absolutely no way I can see if there are any posting errors to accounts unless I drill into each and every line item to see what it is. I have been into Form Settings but the fields required are not available options to select.
Every accounting system I have ever used has this standard feature - from off the shelf packages to customised SAP R/3.
I have spoken to the Implementation Company's Support Line and they have said that it would be a costly exercise to request a report that provides this information.
I can't accept that this is standard - why would anyone use the system????
I guess I just want to hear that this is not the norm with SAP Business One
ThanksTry the General Ledger Report, there is a little more detail there - the BP Name is, I'm sure, included in that and you still get the drill down.
In the account balance screen, you can add the "Details" field which may give you more information as it usually contains the BP Code. It is not a difficult exercise for you support team to add a formatted search to populat that with the account name instead - it is a reasonably common customisation. -
General Ledger report with Op Bal , Trans Line Items and Closing Balance
Hi Experts,
My clients needs a General Ledger report which should show Opening balance and all transactions line items with closing figure in a single report for a fiscal year in the given date range wise. Can I get a report in standard sap. Waiting for your reply.
Thanks in Advance,
Arabinda ParidaHi Parida,
There is no such report in SAP. Basically all standard report gives line items not with opening and closing balances. Anyway check mentioned transaction which may help to you.
S_ALR_87012309....It is cash journal report. Anyway you can enter GL account get opening and closing balances with all relavent transactions.
