How to carry forward any open documents in a new SAP B1 Implementation

Hi,
I want to know what are the best practices to record any open documents during a fresh SAP B1 implementation.
The client has an existing running business and may be implementing SAP B1 at the start of the financial year or during the middle of the financial year.
How do I enter the open documents as on the go-live date; documents like open Purchase Orders, open Sales Orders, open GRPO, open Deliveries, etc.
What are the multiple approaches / alternatives to evaluate and what are the best practices?
Note: I am not talking merely about the GL or Inventory Opening Balances, but the entire set of open documents!
Thanks.

1. When it comes to documents that post to the G/L you want those posted the day you go live as this is part of your opening balance. This would be for you A/R and A/P Invoices. Just make sure the Due Dates are correct and the G/L account is your Opening Balance account. Why? So you can run a trial balance for that day. So in your case I would either do 1-SEP-2014 or 31-Aug-2014. Again I prefer to enter them in as the day before go live so that I can easily run a Trial Balance on my opening transactions. I have yet to have the opening balance balance out on these imports.
2. I would go with the open items on the PO. Why? Less work and still accomplishes the need for open items. In all cases add the original document # from the legacy system in the remarks so you can always find the original.
3. Once again, I would go with only the open balance. Why? It is less work and you can always record any audit remarks in the remarks section of the document. Remember the goal is to import your opening balance. You do not want to step into historical data, it is not easy and takes a long time. So unless the customer is paying for it, this can become a money loser. If analysis is need on historical data, then they have their legacy system to look at.
4. The whole reason for the Service Type invoices is purely for the opening balance of the Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable opening balances. The document total should be the total for the amount that is owed as this is your opening balance for the A/R and A/P accounts along with the customers and vendors sub ledger.
5. Yes. It can be done through the DTW. I haven't tried the new features on the Inventory Counting, but I believe they have added an import feature. Either way should work as long as you get the inventory in the correct places and the inventory accounts to the correct value.
Remember, opening balances are meant to be the values of the legacy system as a snapshot in time. This means that inventory is correct and in the correct place and most importantly the accounts are correct. The reason for the Opening Balance account is as an offset account to the journal entries you create for importing these opening documents. In the end, the Opening Balance account should be 0 if the legacy system is balance.

Carry forward of Open Items - FMJ2

Hi,
We are using BCS in EHP 7.0. i am trying to carry forward the open items with FMJ2 and Availability control is "Update without check". When i execute the transaction, system is carryforwarding to next year without any errors.
How ever, if i see the availability report FMAVCR01 for 2015-
Budget for 2015 is 0 - Consumable budget - 0, Consumed Budget is 20000$ and available amount is -20000$.
Where if i add the budget for 2015 of 50000$, then consumable budget - 50000, Consumed is 20000 and available amount is 30000$. it is consuming from current year.
Please help me on this.
Regards
Sam

Hi Eli,
Thanks for your reply
When i carry forward the open item, and runs the FMAVCR01 report, it is deducting last year open items budget from current year. As i stated above, Consumable amount is 0 and consumed amount is 20000$ and available amount is -20000$.
Is System should carry forward the consumed budget along with consumable budget?

Sam

Carrying forward the parked documents of previous fiscal year

Hi Experts,
My requirement is to carry-forward the parked documents of the previous fiscal year to the new fiscal year automatically with a background job that should run at the end of each fiscal year.
This job should check all the documents that are still parked and must carry them to the next fiscal year. As per standard SAP, the document should be manually posted with posting date of the new fiscal year. Then the system will create a new Document in the new fiscal year, deleting the old document. I need to automate this process.
For posting a document we use a Customized Workflow (Z copy of FIPP).
My question is, how can I go about this requirement? What all needs to be done if I want to trigger the workflow in the background on a particular day?
Thanks!

Sheryl,
If you really want to "remove/cancel" the parked documents, then your solution is to delete them as Prashant previously suggested. Transaction FBV0 allows you to post or delete a parked document. Deleting the parked documents does not remove the entire document from the system. It will remove any line item information, but it will leave the header information. With the header information, you will still have record of the document numbers for audit purposes. The status on the header will show "parked document which was deleted". Deletion is the standard SAP solution to "remove/cancel" parked documents - the only alternative to deleting a parked document is to post it.
Park a document on your test system then delete it so you can see the results. You will still be able to pull up the header information in FB03.
I am not aware of any standard SAP reports for listing parked documents that were deleted. However, if you require such a report, you could create a simple SQ01 query against table BKPF. You would want to include the Document status field (BSTAT) in the query selection criteria so you can select documents with a status of 'Z' - parked document which was deleted.

Shannon

Customer line items with balance carry forward no opening balance

Hello FI Experts,
We have ticket where the user is using a Z* Report for Customer line items with balance carry forward. In 31.01.2007 user has posted some legacy data, latter he was executing this Z* report then user can see the values posted on the same day (31.01.2007) as line items. But he was executing the report on 01.02.2007 then he was not able to see the line item as well as the values posted on 31.01.2007 as opening balance as on 01.02.2007. But if we run the report as on 01.01.2008 then we are able to see the values which are carry forwarded as opening balances. Did anyone have worked on this type of scenario?
Requirement Here Is: The values that have been posted on 31.03.2007 which are still open line items should get displayed as opening balance as on 01.02.2007.
Thanks for helping on this issue.

Hi,
Any report will get data from Tables. Please check whether the table you have used to develop this report has opening balance.
Balance will be carry forwarded only when you run the balance carry forward program. Check whether this was run for the date you have specified. This can be done in the year end.
If you are checking in the middle of the year, then the balance will not be carry forwarded.

B. Radhika.

Most of the time you will find easier to create a rule for that.
Which one to use: it all depend of your schema! you can also create a specific small rule for it.
The proper day, you can store the remaining balance in a time type (or the day before if your "old" quota is closed) and and store it either in the existing time type that generate entitlement, or in a new one and you create a specific entitlement rule in v_T559E for this time type, valid only once a year

How to Carry Forward Beginning Balances for CTA

Hi Experts,
We're doing a multi-currency AppSet wherein I need to carry forward the ending balances of the cumulative translation adjustment to it's beginning balance the next year but the problem is:
1. CTA resides only in USD reporting currency(not in LC).
2. My carry forward rules applies only to local currency. I've tried to include USD but when I run the default formula wherein I've included my currency conversion rule, the beginning balance for CTA zero out. I've tried removing the ratetype on CTA, replace it with blank, AS_IS,NOTRANS so as not to translate that account since it will be converting from a blank opening balace in LC(since CTA is only calculated in USD) to USD so it's reasonable that it would zero out, but still it's trnaslated.
Any idea how to work this out?
Thanks,
Marvin

Hi Marvin,
Set your CTA account ratetype to something like "HISTX" or whatever you want, add this ratetype to RATE dimension and in your business rule, set this rate type to [AS_IS].
We use it here and it works.
Thanks,
Regis

If the fiscal year 2008 is later than 2009:
Carry document 5000005928 forward to fiscal year 2008 using program Closing Operations: Carryforward of Open Items (RFFMCCF1).
If fiscal year 2008 is earlier than 2009 and document 5000005928 was carried forward already:
Reset the commitment carryforward using program Closing Operations: Reset Carryforward of Open Items (RFFMCCFR)
Then you can make the change to document 5000005928.

Please guide me,
Thanks in advance

That's part of the problem. Without a knowledge of HTML and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets), Dreamweaver will remain a total mystery to you. You access the tools to change fonts, colours, etc, by clicking the CSS button on the left of the Property inspector at the bottom of the Document window. But as soon as you start selecting options, you will be confronted with the New CSS Rule dialog box. So, without knowledge of the basic technologies involved in website design, you're stuck.

How to carry forward subtotal to other page in smartforms

Any suggestions pls
This is in Smartform
Thanks,

Hi ,
First define the global variable for subtotal & grand total
In the first page display the table data normally and if you dont want to print the headers of the table check the condition in the header AT START OF TABLE
calculate the grand totals (Ex. g_tot = g_tot + wa_vbap-kwmeng)
Ex.    page1   layout   (Note : next page as page2)
Header window
main window
final window
In the final window create an alternative node (in flow logic )
for alternative node put the condition as
sfsy-page = sfsy-formpages
if true
           print the data as   TOTAL   &g_tot&
else (False node)
           print the data as   SUBTOTAL   &g_tot&
Out put will be
page1 o/p
sales order         material            orderqty
1                          M10                 10
2                          M11                 20
3                          M12                 30
sub total                                     60               (g_tot value )
page2 onwards o/p
4                          M13                 30
5                          M14                 20
6                          M15                 15
Total                                            125             (g_tot value )
Let me know if any concerns .........
