Info Record Upload

Question

Hi,
We are going for Go Live later this month.I want to have a suggestion regarding the upload of info records.Since client is moving from existing system to SAP for the first time, do we need to have the info recs also created/uploaded first.
I mean how info records will be taken care off.Do we need to have them created before go live or as and when the transactions happen after go live,it will create them.
What should be approach for info records ?
Thx in advance
Regards,
Manoj

Hi Manoj,
Its purely your choice , but uploading the same will say your time and effort .
a few more inputs for the same .
You can transfer the following <b>Purchasing</b> data from your legacy system:
Purchase orders
PO history
PO texts
Purchase requisitions
Purchasing info records
Purchasing data is transferred using the following programs:
Purchasing data      Business object        Program
Purchase orders              (BUS2012)       RM06EEI0
PO history                                             RM06EEI1
PO texts                                                RSTXLITF
Purchase requisitions      (BUS2105)        RM06BBI0
Purchasing info records    (BUS3003)       RM06IBI0
In this step you carry out the pre-processing steps in preparation for a data transfer.
The following steps are necessary:
1. Transfer of master data
A prerequisite for the transfer of purchase orders is that vendor master data, material master data, and purchasing info records already exist in the system.
2. Maintain accounts
Make the appropriate setting to ensure that it is possible to post direct to the GR/IR clearing account. (Open items will be generated on this account as a result of the data transfer.)
3. Define number range
You maintain number ranges in Customizing for Purchasing under Purchase Order -> Maintain Number Ranges.
4. Deactivate statistics update
You deactivate the statistics updating process for Purchasing in Customizing for the Logistics Information System (LIS) under Logistics Data Warehouse -> Updating -> Updating Control.
5. Deactivate purchase order commitments
You deactivate commitments management in Customizing for the Enterprise Structure underAssignment -> Controlling -> Assign Controlling Area to Operating Concern.
6. Deactivate price determination process
Deactivate automatic price determination in Customizing for Purchasing underConditions -> Define Price DeterminationProcess because you specify the net price of the purchase order in the transfer file.
Further information on price determination is available in Customizing for Purchasing under Conditions -> Define Price Determination Process.
7. Deactivate the message determination facility
Deactivate message determination in order that the transferred purchase orders are not re-outputted.
8. Deactivate text transfer
You deactivate text transfer in Customizing for Purchasing under Purchase orders -> Texts for purchase orders -> Define Text Types and Copying Rules for Header Texts and Define Text Types and Copying Rules for Item Texts.
