How to get Commitments into SL?

Question

Hi all,
Here is a little challenge for Friday. Answers will be rewarded with lots of points like always:
We would need to get commitments into the SL. The SL is already in use to run some finance reports.
Now we would need get data from POs in.
What would I need to do with the existing structures?
How can I pass the data on from POs?
What about the reduction of commitments in the purchasing process?
How to update existing POs into SL?
Any ideas highly appreciated!

Hello

Use transfer program RGUREC30 MM to transfer data from Materials Management.
Prerequisites
This program can only be used for MM documents posted in Release 3.0. For MM documents posted in earlier release versions, you have to use the FI transfer program.
Procedure
Choose Accounting ® Financial Accounting ® Special Purpose Ledger ® Periodic Processing ® Data Transfer ® Materials Management.
The Data Transfer from Materials Management screen appears.
Enter the following:
– the company code for which you want the data to be transferred
– the fiscal year for which you want the data to be transferred
– the period for which you want the data to be transferred
If you leave this field blank, data will be transferred for all periods.
– Information about the business transaction (such as the activity and/or origin of the document)
– the valid range of document numbers for the data you want to be transferred
– the document date of the data that you want to transfer
– the posting date of the data that you want to transfer
– the creation date of the data that you want to transfer
Set the required flags:
– If you only want to test the data transfer, set the test run flag. If you select this field, the FI-SL tables will not be updated.
– If you want to display a statistical list of the data transfer, set the List Required flag.
– If you want to check whether data records already exist in FI-SL for the documents that you want to transfer, set the check flag. If data already exists, this will not be transferred to FI-SL.
A prerequisite for using the check function is that the data which you want to transfer must be saved in FI-SL.
Enter the name of the target ledger to which you want to transfer the data.
For the ledgers which you want to be updated, the company code flag on the Change Ledger: Activity Assignment screen, posting assignment field, must be set on either 2 (ledger posted when data is posted subsequently) or 3 (ledger posted directly and also when data is posted subsequently). You set the posting flag in Customizing. You should also set the line item flag for ledger to which you want data to be transferred. For further information, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) for Special Purpose Ledger.
If other users are posting data, you should be cautious when using this program in online mode. In this case, you should only transfer old data. We recommend that you only start these programs if no other users are posting data.
Choose Program ® Execute.
Result
The system transfers the data from Materials Management to FI-SL.
