Migrating to SAP General Ledger (NewGL) on a different box

We are looking at migrating to SAP General Ledger on a production system with over 150 company codes and 10 years of unarchived data. Since this results in pretty large database tables we are looking at several options to minimize business impact.
Among the available options, I have been told that it is possible to perform a migration from one box to another rather than in-place. I'm having trouble visualizing how transactional data from other modules (CO, SD, MM, PP etc) would be preserved in this case.
Can anyone tell me if migrating from classic GL on one box to new GL on another is possible? Does it really reduce downtime? If so, how does it achieve this time savings? What are the pitfalls of taking this approach? Can a box-to-box approach be taken without loss of non-GL transactional data?
Thanks in advance,
Paul

Hi,
we migrated on 31st of march 2008 3 different 46c systems (AT, IN, CN) with 3 huge and a few small company codes into one ECC 60 system (using HR, SD, MM, PM, PP, QM, FI, CO). In ECC 60 we are using NewGL, document split, functional area reporting, PRCTR-wise balance sheets, segment reporting, FI/CO online integration, leding ledger IFRS, 2 non leading ledgers for every comp. code,...
The migration project was started a year before go-live the system downtime was only the 31st of march (one day) for each company code.
The main thing was, that we decided not to migrate any old transactional data to the new system but only the data (master data, open items, open PO's,...) thats needed.
So the old stuff remains still in the old system (FY-end closing was done there) and all comp.codes started the new fiscal year in the new system.
Due to the fact that many reporting issues where covered by business warehouse this ensured a continously reporting across the old and new system landscape and there was never a need to have "old" data visible in the new system.

Migration from Classic GL to newGL

Hi All,
We are planning to migrate from classic GL to newGL, in this regard we have come across SAP Note 1070629 (FAQs: New general ledger migration) and point 43 in this note says it is not possible to make any postings to previous fiscal year.
Our audit for the fiscal year 2009 & 2010 is not yet finalized and user is required to make posting into these previous fiscal years.
Our question is that is it possible to make any entries in these previous years after migration to newGL.
I hope many of you might have come across such situation in newGL migration project. Could you please share your experience on how to handle this critical issue.
Thanks & Regards

General ledger / sub ledger reconciliation, without new GL:

Hi experts, hope you can help me with this quick question:
My client is currently reconciling SAP General Ledger and Subledger balances in excel spreadsheets, for Customer and Vendors.
The reconciliation is as follows, when the postings are done on general ledger on a reconciliation account and on the correspondent sub ledger, the line items have to be checked on both to be sure that transfer has been done correctly. Currently this process if done by a Vlookup in Excel, using the reference number as join between the data extracted.
We are running ECC6.0, without the new GL, do you know if there is a standard program to make this reconciliation, I will appreciate any documentation about this topic.
Thanks in advance.

Firstly, why would there be any difference between the total of customer/vendor sub-ledger balances and the balance on the reconciliation account(s)? The posting to the reconciliation account is happening automatically right, when you are posting to a customer/vendor (basing on the reconciliation account assigned in the customer/vendor master)? And system would not allow direct postings to reconciliation accounts, which eliminates the threat of reconciliation GL account going out of balance as compared to the sub-ledger accounts.
However, you can run FBL3N or FS10N for the reconciliation account(s) and match it with the total balance on all customers/vendors using transaction FBL5N/FBL1N.

Migration from 4.7 to ECC 6.0 - Deactivate Update of Classic General Ledger

My client has migrated from 4.7 to ECC 6 version. In the ealier version we had a report developed in FI Module, which was created as a local object.
Now when we are trying to activate the same development in ECC 6.0 and I am trying to use the dynamic selections option of this report, system is throwing an error and taking to this customisation node :
Fin Accounting Global Settings (New)->Tools ->Deactivate Update of Classic General Ledger (GLT0).
Can I know the implications of this option ? Can I deselect the check boxes mentioned in this node ? What could be the consequences ?
Please guide me.
Thanks
Ravi

Hi
GLTO is the table that used to get updated with the totals prior to ECC 6.0 (in 4.7).
After migrating into ECC 6.0 the GLTO is no more valid and the new table FAGLFLEXT replaces GLTO.
SAP also recommends to deactivate the update of GLTO via Fin Accounting Global Settings (New)->Tools ->Deactivate Update of Classic General Ledger (GLT0) once you have establised that the new GL is working correctly.
I dont foresee any consequences of deactiavting GLTO if the new GL has been activated in your new client and you are sure that the NEW GL is working correctly.
Good Luck

Difference in Open Balance As per Trial Balance and General Ledger in SAP

Dear All,
1 ) Whle generating trial balance in SAP B1 for one Business master there is a difference in Opening Balance as per Trial Balance and as per General Ledger how ever closing balance in matching.
Difference As follows
Report Name      ob cr     ob dr           dr                   cr                                  CL
General Balance          614536     19237612.34            18650320.01     1201828.33
Trial balanceB     4521743.19          19237612.34       13514040.82     1201828.33
Is it possible the open balnce should be same in both report. The opening balance as per GL report is correct.
2) I have run the period end closing for Apr- 2010 to Mar 2011 after that I generated the traial balance for Apr-1-2011 where the opening balances for expense account and revenue account is showing technically after period end closing the balance become zero for all closing balance revenue and expenses accounts.
Please note that there are some entries in revenue and expense account in on 1st apr. 2011.
Please guide on this.

Aarati Kollur.

Hi,
I think you should re-visit the selection creteria for the Trial balance.
The Display Opening Balance has two options. If you select from 'Start of Company activity', then it will include every balance of previous year.
Check for the Display Closing balance option as well. As you have performed the Period End closing, the checkbox options can have an impact on the outcome in the report.
Check the selection again.
