many thankss
Giulia

Hi Shekar,
You do not have to do anything in specific to make them zero. Let me explain you with a simple example.
Hope you would agree that your trial balance would be zero at any point of time. Thus, you can derive an equation as follows from your Balance Sheet -
Current Assets (Cash, Bank, AR etc.)
+ Fixed Assets
- Share capital
- Current Liabilities (AP)
- Other Debts
===
0
===
If you convert the above items as upload enteries, you would get the following -
Debit Current Assets
Credit Upload Current Assets GL
Debit Fixed Assets
Credit Upload Fixed Assets GL
Credit Share Capital
Debit Upload Share Capital GL
Credit Current Liabilities
Debit Upload Current Liabilities GL
Credit Other debts
Debit Upload Other debts GL
Thus all your upload GLs also would sum upto zero. Hope I have explained you. Else, please revert.
Regards,
Mike

Hi
1. You need to make sure the fields are entered in the right order in the migration file. If you didn't do it yet, try to generate a test file first using EMIGALL.
2. Make sure you have one account holder for that contract account. You cannot have more than one account holders or not a single one.
Hope this helps. If not, please be more specific.

Migration of account balances

Hi,
I need to migrate account balances (client) in a same system.
New accounts will be created, and i need to transfer/migrate the balances of a determine type of client, into a new general account that will congregate the balances of all the clients in that segment.
How can i do that? by creating a reconciliation account to make the passage of the balances of all client accounts into this one account?
Kind regards
NG

Wy you don4t implement Special Purpose Ledger for this.
Special Purpose Ledger
This section contains the settings for the Special Purpose Ledger (FI-SL).
Before making these settings in the system, you should be familiar with the business functions used here as well as the concept of the Special Purpose Ledger. You can find additional information in the SAP Library under Financials -> Financial Accounting -> Special Purpose Ledger.
Note
You can implement FI-SL in a system with multiple clients. You can find additional information under Operating in a multi-client system.

Data migration

Dear all my friends,
please help to share me about data migration before go-live FI system.
i plan to migrate GL acct balance, AP/AR open item and last 3 months historical data.
please help to show me : how should i do ?
thanks !

1. Normal GL Accounts: In this case line items are not required and totals are to be updated in SAP. This can be done using GL fast entry if the number is not too high.
2. Open Item Managed GL Accounts: All the open line items are required to be uploaded in SAP from Legacy in order to clear them. Hence, a LSMW / BDC program has to be developed to upload the line items.
BAPI_ACC_DOCUMENT_POST - for GL/AP/AR
BAPI_ACC_INVOICE_RECEIPT_POST - for AP
BAPI_ACC_GL_POSTING_POST - for GL
GL Balance
F-02 or RFBIBL00 or BAPI
Dr GL a/c Credit Data migration Account or Clearing Account
3. Customer & Vendor Open Items: All open line items in Customer and Vendor Accounts have to be brought in into SAP. For this also a LSMW / BDC program needs to be developed and upload the line items.
Vendor Balances
F-02 or RFBIBL00 or BAPI
Credit Vendor a/c (individually) and Dr Data migration Account or Clearing Account
Customer balances
F-02 or RFBIBL00 or BAPI
Dr Customers a/c (individually) and Dr Data migration Account or Clearing Account
4. Asset Accounting: In case asset accounting is implemented the individual balances of each asset (Gross Value and Accumulated Depreciation) have to be uploaded using transaction AS91. For this also you need to develop a LSMW / BDC program. Further, you also need to update the GL Accounts related to Asset Accounts with totals for each asset class T.Code OASV.
For uploading the Assets
AS91 -> for uploading assets in AA
OSAV --> for uploading assets in GL entry Dr Asset (individually) Cr Data migration Account or Clearing Account
You can use LSMW for uploading all these things
After uploading all, your data migration account will become zero

Transaction Data Migration

Is there a "best practice" for transaction data conversions from a legacy system into R/3? I am in a project where I have to create a strategy for SCM transaction data (PO's, Inventory, Vendor Invoices, and so on). I would like to know the pros and cons of migrating a PO in their various stages (Open, G/R but not yet invoiced, Partial G/R). Basically a strategy to propose to my client regarding their SCM transaction data.
Thanks for your help!!!!

hi,
For uploading the GLs :-->
Use FB50 entry Dr GL a/c Credit Data migration a/c or controlling a/c
For uploading the Vendor balances : -->
Use FB60 entry Dr Data migration a/c or controlling a/c and credit Vendor a/c (individually)
For uploading the Customers balances :-->
Use FB70 entry Dr Customers a/c (individually) Cr Data migration a/c or controlling a/c
For uploading the Assets-->
AS91 -> for uploading assets in AA
OSAV --> for uploading assets in GL entry Dr Asset (invidiually) Cr Data Migration account or controlling account
You can use LSMW for uploading all these things
After uploading all, your data migration account will become zero.
For posting the transactional data use LSMW for relevant TCODES

Problem in getting opening balance for multiple GL Account

Hi,
I am working on a Trail Balance Report in which i am trying to fetch the data for the opening balance for multiple GL Accounts but it is not coming accurate.. Here is the link to the code which i am using currently right now:-
http://docs.google.com/View?id=dfxswwff_13fgpdcbgt
here i am showing the logic for the data of previous year only... i.e. data from begining to 1 day less of the date-low.

Hi,
It is a tranparent table which is getting data from the 2 other tables,the filling of this table is right. The execution of this query is right in the program but the problem comes when it is trying to calculate the opening balance for the respective GL Account present in the query it is not doing it. i.e. if there are 2 gl account ids having 3 rows of data each it is not calculating the of it in a single row.. i hope it is clear now...

Possibility to show opening balance of a GL account through SQL query?

Hi experts,
Is it possible to run an SQL query in SBO that shows the opening balance
of a GL account based on a date entered by the user?
This is similar to how the general ledger shows the opening balance of a GL account based on the posting dates entered.
Thanks for your ideas.

Hi Gordon,
Thanks for that idea.
I am thinking of the following:
1. Create a virtual table (#TEST) from a SELECT statement that gets all journal entries for the specified GL account BEFORE the specified posting date.
2. Perform a SELECT statement that sums the debit and credit from (#TEST).
This should show the opening balance of the GL account right?
Regards,
Eric

Data Migration of FI-CA Cleared Items

Hi,
Currently I am working on a Data Migration project to migrate data from our FI-CA module on ERP 4.7 to ECC 6.0.
THere has been a request from the business to migrate historical data (e.g. Cleared items).
Is there a SAP recommended approach or tools to load this data into the target environment?
Currently all documentation around SAP data migrations talks about stategies for open item data migration however I have seen nothing arouund migrating historical financial data.
Is this because it is not recommended or technically impossible?
Regards
Adam Gunn

That BAPI is used typically for straight out vanilla GL, AR, AP postings, however you still have to create the other side of the entry and then clear it.
I need to be able to migrate full history, which means from an FI-CA viewpoint:
1. Migrate FI-CA posting of liability against BP/contract account.
2. Migrate associated payments.
3. And then clearing documents.
Basically the requirement is to represent the historical data in the new system as if it was posted and matched off.
Is there a technical way to do this?
OR,
Do you migrate the FI-CA liabilties, then the associated payments and then run clearing on the target system?
I suspect this is almost an impossible data migration requirement as development of the extraction and load process would be extremely complex and testing would take months to cover all posting scenarios in FI-CA. However, I would be interested if anyone has attempted to do this before.

Data Migration from Legacy System in CRM

Hi All,
We are going to Implement a new CRM project, I have a problem with LSMW(Legacy System Migration Workbench ), I have some Conversion Objects of CRM and I need to know whether Data Migration is possible or not, please tell me how to find these Objects and how to know Data Migration is possible or not.
Objects are like.,
1. Accounts
2. Actuate Reports
3. Active Campaigns/Campaign Content/Dispositions
4. Contacts
5. Contracts
6. Opportunities
7. Payment Arrangement History
8. Payments
9. Premises
10. Rate Changes
11. Security Deposits

13. Web self-service information
14. Usage that has been used for quotes
15. Tax history information, including AXCIS
17. Service Requests

Can anybody please tell any transaction code in CRM where can I find the Data migration for the above objects is possible or not.
Thanks in Advance,

Hello,
for migration into CRM I would suggest the 'XIF-Interfaces'; these are interfaces provided in CRM for connection to external systems. I'm not sure if this will cover all objects mentioned above, but at least some of them should exist.
Some information about existing interfaces can be found in the integration repository under http://ifr.sap.com/index.html; from the start screen first select 'Enter the repository' and then have a look under 'generic components' and 'SAP CRM'.

Hi Ram,
Use Transaction Code EMIGALL. It will ask for company code. By default Company Code is SAP. If you entered with the SAP you will get all the objects.Then goto menu IS-U Migration-->User Handbook. It will give you details Idea.
Also Check the following Procedure
You can find detailed documentation of EMIGALL in SAP itself. Use Transaction EQ81 to display it. It provides all the concepts and procedures to work with EMIGALL.
Here are some points about EMIGALL :
1. It Migrates data Business Object wise
2. It uses Direct Input Technique
3. It has more than 100 objects of IS-U
and the steps for implementation goes like this:
1)You have to create a user specially for migration which will have all the authorizations related to migration workbench, BASIS and IS-U
2)You have to create your own company in EMIGALL. There is a default company called SAP.
3)Company SAP contains all the Business Objects
4)You have to figure out what business objects u need and then u have to copy those business objects to ur company from Standard Company SAP
5)Each objects contains more than one structure and each structure can contain more than one fields. The relation goes like this
Object ---> Structure ---> Field
6)You have to define field rules for each required field of the object. You have to mark "Not required" for fields u don't need
7)After field rules for a given object is set u have to generate load report i.e. actual Direct Input Program which will migrate data. This program is generated on basis of field rules set by u.
8)After the load report is generated u have to prepare an input file (import File) for migration. The import file should be according to structure provided by SAP and must be in binary format. SAP Provides the structure of file according to your configurations. You have to write ur own Data conversion program(in any language) for this task.
9)You take import file as input and migrate the data using generated load program
10)Finally u can check the Migration Statistics and Error Log
Thanks and Regards,
