Data conversion/migration
Hi,
what kind of data conversion/migration are we looking in plant maintenance and inventory management?
Regards,
Vijay
Dear Vijay Srikanth,
I think you are asking for all such activities in Plant Maintenance which can be automated using some data conversion / data migration programs. Where by the user will just upload his data and the activity is achieved by the program. Please refer to the following documentation and search for the term 'Activites in Plant Maintenance'.

You will find all the required information there. Thank you.

Billing Legacy master & transactional data conversion/migration in SAP ISU
Hi Experts,
Please let me know, in ISU implementation project, what is Billing related Legacy master & transactional data conversion/migration is done in SAP ISU system.
Thanks in advancePankaj,
There is no straight forward transaction to download the Configuration data and export it to a file.
However, you can use the BC set functionality to extract the IMG node with its contents.
Check the following SAP help portal link for more info on BC sets
Business Configuration Sets (BC-CUS) - SAP Library
The archive data that you are talking about; Is it master data or transaction data?
Also, what this data is related to-Financial Documents, Billing related info?
There is one standard transaction SARA through which based on the migration object you can archive the data and export it into a file in a particular location..
Hope it helps..
Thanks,

ASAP Data Migration / Data Conversion / Data Transfer Templates
Hi,
I'm looking for the ASAP Data Migration / Data Conversion / Data Transfer Templates that used to be available in ASAP.
Some time I ago, and I believe it was on this site and can no longer find it, I found a zip file which contained the above .xls template to manage all the data conversions on a project. Also included was the data mapping template .xls

GL Data Conversion from Legacy to Oracle EBS
Hi All,
I am tasked with converting legacy data into GL. I have worked on other conversions like supplier, AR and AP conversions but never worked on GL conversion, so I don't know how and where to start, what are the pre-requisites for entering data into gl_interface table how to ensure that data is correct in the .csv file etc.
Kindly request you all to guide me in right direction. Hope to hear from you all very soon!!! :)
RegardsHi,
When you talk about GL-Data it is the trial balance to be loaded from legacy to oracle applications.
You can use Web-ADI to upload it ,the check list are
The balance for each account comibnation in the legacy system to be mapped to GL-Oracle code combination balance
With respect to open AR, AP Invoices if the invoices are converted using a control account for migration in GL then
the the balance transfered from AP,AR need not be reversed in GL from the source receivables and payables.
In case if the same account combination are for migrating the balances from AP,AR to GL ..Then the balances transferred from AP,AR should be reversed ..so that it does not affect the TB-GL-Balance
Finally ensure that the balance for the TB-tallys with your legacy system and upload it using Web-ADI ,import and
review and post it.
Hope this points helps your GL-Data conversion.

Data conversion strategy for new SOB
Dear Viewers
on 11.5.10
We are creating a new SOB with a change in currency from Feb-11 as this is the requirement
For the same, we need to do data conversion.
I have a confusion for Purchase Orders and Sales Orders
Purchase Orders:
Open purchase orders will be converted, means the unfulfilled PO`s i.e the ones not received and are fully open.
The PO`s which have been recieved but not delivered, Requested the users to clear the intransit receipts.
The PO's which are partially received, what to be done for them?
If a PO is fully received and Delivered will not me converted to the new SOB as its not an open PO
but If invoice comes after Feb-11, than how the matching will be done?
What if a return has to be made moving forward in FEB-11 under new SOB
Sales Orders:
Open sales orders will be converted, that is the ones that have been entered and not yet booked.
Users have been requested to clear off the Sales order lines which are already pick confirmed but not yet shipped, hence they will be shipped and interfaced to AR
For the Sales orders that have been booked, those lines that are not yet processed further will also be converted.
Now what if a receipt comes after feb 11, how to handle this as the sales order wiould not have been converted?
Please give your advise on the data migration strategy for PO`s and SO's.
Please do add any point that may have been missed by me
Appreciate your help
Thanks
EmmHi David,
for master data conversion you can use LSMW and the RE-FX BAPIs. (please refer to SAP note [782947|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/782947] ).

Otherwise if it has to be converted identifying the POs under this scenario, you may consider converting those maintaining receipt close tolerance as 100% and matching type as 2 -way (again business approval needed to handle audit issues) in order to avoid the receipts/delivery conversion etc.<br>
What if a return has to be made moving forward in FEB-11 under new SOB<br>Ideally returns can be done using Miscellaneous/Account Alias Issues specifying the appropriate transaction reasons to clarify the scenario.<br> -
Data Conversion in SAP E-Recruiting.
Hi SAP E-Recruiters,
Our client is using a Legacy application for recruiting candidates where it has 5000 candidates data base (internal and external candidates' applications).
Now they are asking for movement of this whole data to the newly implementing SAP E-recruiting system. We are exploring various data conversion methods and found that BDC, LSMW will not work for E-recruiting data upload as we have every thing in BSP/Web Dynpro pages here.
We need your help in finding a solution for moving this data from legacy to SAP E-Recruiting. Pls do the needful.
Thanks,
SudheerSudheer,
So far there are no SAP delivered migration methods or BAPI's available conversion of candidates/applications, as you have already specified BDC's wouldnot work. Internal candidates always can be brought over in eRecruitment with integration techniques between PA and eRecruit depending upon the landscape.
However, for external candidates custom conversion programs have to be written by making use of methods/function modules that are used in BSP/WebDynpro.

I have a question for the data conversion strategy.
We are planning to store 2 yr detailed transactions and 4yr balances in Oracle system. In terms of the data conversion process, we were also going to take the same method. It would, however, cause schedule and workload constraints. Actually, we have not yet discussed this from realistic view points. In other words, we do not insist on storing all of data which are 2yr transaction and 4yr balances.
Although I believe that we will be able to eliminate a volume of the data to be converted to new chart of accounts from old ones, I am a little bit concerned about a couple of things as follows:
1. the workload for reporting processes
Assuming that we will not use Oracle standard reports so much, it would not be a big issue, even if we do not convert all of data I mentioned above. We will store historical report data somewhere, and be able to generate certain reports using both Oracle data and historical data in the repository. If not, it could cause us extra efforts.
2. Audit trails / Examination trails
If we give up converting the data to fit new system, and that fiscal year has not been examined yet, how should we handle non-converted data for the examination? I am just wondering whether or not, we have only to prepare the conversion table, that ties Oracle balances back to ABC detailed transactions for their reference.
If anyone is are aware of anything you can advise me, could you please provide some information or guidance? Thanks to ALL.Hi,

FICO Data Conversions clarifications
Hi,
I am currently working on data conversion project. We have our FY from April to March and we are going live on June 01. I am trying to analyse the FICO objects. I have seen many conversations here but confused between balances and open items. I am trying to use ABAP programs instead of LSMW as much as possible
Master Data:
1) GL Master Data
2) AP Vendor Master Data
3) AR Customer Master Data
4) FA Master Data
5) Cost Centers
6) Profit Centers
Transaction Data:
Note that client wants to use only one offsetting conversion account instead of one account each for GL, AP, AR, FA etc
7) GL Balances
what is the difference between balances and open items here and how do we post them (can i use f-02 for both) and document types?
lets say i have GL 600100 which has a balance of $5000. If i want to post it during data conversion, should i post it as Dr 600100 Cr 700100 (this is a offsetting account used only for conversion)
how do you post an GL Open Items and what would be the accounting entries
8) Vendor Balances
what is the difference between Vendor balances and Vendor Open items.
lets say if i have 10 invoices pending payment for a vendor 10000, is the posting to KR doc type as Cr 10000 (vendor) Dr 700100 (this is a offsetting account used only for conversion) correct?
9) Customer Balances
what is the difference between Customer balances and Customer Open items.
lets say if i have 10 invoices pending payment by a customer 80000, is the posting to DR doc type as Dr 80000 (Customer) Cr 700100 (this is a offsetting account used only for conversion) correct?
10) Historical Data
If the client asks us to post data from April 1 until May 31, what is the best approach, also here we are circumventing few things such as
If there is a GR is done but not Invoiced, then these will be just posted as regular invoices (KR) instead of PO - GR - IV sequence
If there is Invoice (PO based ones) but not paid, then these will be considered as regular open invoices (KR) as above
like wise for O2C invoices too
I am trying to understand if i missing anything and if i have to follow any sequence. Appreciate if you guys can help with an example and if if i am missing any objects here...
Thanks
ShriyaFollow this and use LSMW.
LSMW for Functional Consultants in simple step-by-step way
Refer this to understand the basic:
Data Migration Part - Reg.
Regarding your questions: It does not matter whether you use single or five or six offsetting account. You should aware that at the end of the transfer your offsetting accounting balance should be zero.
You take trail balance (forget about the vendors / customers as you load them as open items)
All debit balances you debit in SAP and Credit the offsetting account. All credits you credit in SAP and debit offsetting account. Usually, GL open items would not be loaded, it is only balances. Open items are only for vendors and customers.
Note: You should NOT load tax line on the customer / vendor invoices, as they are already accounted for in the GL balances. Otherwise, your Migration account would never be zero.
For Assets, you need to load asset sub-ledger data separately through AS91 and GL balances separately. Use OAMK to set and reset the reconciliation accounts of assets. Once you loaded asset values, put them as reconciliation accounts and nobody should touch them.
You only load historical data line items of vendors or customers. You do not post goods or invoices receipts again from MM. Mostly, what you can upload is open purchase orders.
Hope this helps.

How to Load Revalued Assets in FA at the time of Data Conversion
Dear Experts,
How to Load Revalued Assets in FA at the time of Data Conversion?? Please help me
Thanks & Regards
LaxmanLet me ask agagin to all experts.
I want to make A condition to be repriced at the time of billing.
For this, I have to set condition category as 'L' (Generally new when copying).
But I do not want to do in that way becauuse I am maintaining big operated system now.
In addition, though I migrate open orders after changing config. as 'L', it is almost impossible for use to migrate because we have more than a thound open orders per a DAY as Globalized system.
That is why I am asking.
Simply I can create new condition but as I mentioned, there are various recycling fee so we already created about 10 conditions. And this recycling conditions are linked to REA package of SAP. So creating another 10 more conditions can not be a way for us.
At last, what I want is not to be shown this condition only in billing doc.
'A' condition should be displayed in both Sales order and Billing doc.
And simultaneously, when the billing is created and if user changed 'A' condition master, then new value which is different from sales order have to be reflected in billing doc.
Thank you in advance. -

Wrongly Activated Extended Withholding tax before data conversion
Hi all,
In 1099 Reporting for US, I have activated Extended Withholding Tax before conversion of data from Classical to Extended Withholding Tax. I have done this in Development system with transport request.
If anybody has come across similar situation, pl help me with your valuable inputs.
1. Will I be able to deactivate the extended withholding tax and do the data conversion and activate again.
2. If not, what will be the consequences of not doing the data conversion of existing data.
Kindly help me to come out of this crisis.
Thanks in advance.
San.Hi,
Yes it will be possible.
I haven't really faced this situation in EWT, but in another similar migration.
I do not know the extent of customisation you did for EWT or whether the documents you posted after activating did get posted in the EWT area.
The only place I think you may face will be in the migration itself, where these documents may give you errors is in the actual data migration step. But there would be some solution for that.
You need to see what options you have. Can you let this situation continue? Was this migration not a prep for doing the migration in production or just a test? If not then you will need to do something. This should have no impact on any migration you plan for the other systems (Quality/Production) in the landscape.
You can log in an OSS message just in case.

XI for managing data conversions
My customer is considering using XI for managing their data conversions. This is a very large implementation with many source data systems. We will also have a very large volume of data to migrate. For example, we'll have around 8 million materials. For these materials, we're thinking we can extract this data and map it to an idoc structure and pass into SAP via XI. First, has anyone used XI for data conversions? Second, have you dealt with this volume of transactions? Can XI handle this? Any thoughts or comments would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
ChrisHi Chris,
SAP XI is used for those exact purposes. Of course as volume increases, your customer will have to increase memory and hardware. They have also consider the whether the messages are synchronous. In case of migration, I think they will be asynchronous. SAP has a customer who before going live, performed some massive load tests that will simulate an average "real" working day, of 1,200,000 (million, two hundreds thousands) transactions, and it worked smoothly yet fast. Your customer will most likely have to break up 8 million material into daily batches for now.
Enjoy!
