Hi All,

Dear Shanker,
Generally this error occurs due to an issue with the data type in the cells. Either they are invlaid data types used or the length of the data value is mor ethen the permitted value.
Please check the default templates and als the DI help file which is available in the
C:\Program Files\SAP\SAP Business One SDK\Help
folder as the DTW is based on the DI API.
Hope it helps

How can i post opening balance b y useing DTW

Dear friends,
can any one help me out how can i transfer the opening balance's by useing DTW.
regards,
srikanth.

Dear Srikanth,
U can use the Journal Entry templates to import Opening Balances through DTW. You can use the opening balance suspense account as the off-setting account in the JE templates.
For BP opening balanaces also, u can use the same JE template. Just put the customer code in the Account description and follow the regular steps.

GL Account Opening Balance

Hi All,
Can any one suggest me is there any way to upload the GL account opening balances automatically, rather posting it mannually.
Which will facilitate us to validate the accuracy of the data before uploading the same and time taken for doing it mannually will drastically reduce.
Thank you in advance.

Hi
When you open 'Administration -> System Initialization -> Opening Balances -> G/L Accounts Opening Balance' and load the opening balances for G/L , SAP inturn creates Journal Entries to transfer credit or debit amounts from a specified opening balance account to one or more G/L accounts.
So you can use the Journal Entry Templates available in the following folder to load opening balances thro DTW:
C:\Program Files\SAP\Data Transfer Workbench\Templates\Templates\oJournalEntries

Uploading Business Partner Opening Balances

Hi
All
I want upload business partner opening balance by DTW or Import data is it possiable????
Thanks & Regards
Amit

BEST PRACTICE:
Import all the open documents with Service Invoices/Credit Memos, with the same document number and date than in the legacy system. It does not matter what the client says - they ALWAYS have issues afterwards.
In this case DTW is the best option.
Kind regards
Carin

Opening Balances DTW format.

Hi Experts,
Please can any one forward me the DTW format to upload the opening balance of BP/GL Accounts.
Regards
Amit Tyagi

Amit,
If you want to import BP balance as one number (just the total balance for each BP) then this can be done within SBO
System Init > Opening Bal > BP Opening Bal
If individual open invoices / credit memo's have to be imported then you need to use oInvoices and other document templates.
For G/L opening balance you could use the Journal Entry template

Offset A/c setup for opening balances import in DTW

Hi All,
I am trying to import opening balances for customers using oInvoices.
There I am using two xls files.
1. Documents
2. Documents_Lines
The Documents_Lines filehas a column named AccountCode, but this the column used for BP GL code.
Where do I set the offset ac code (Suspense A/c code) for offsetting the balance.
I appriciate your time spent on answering this.

Hi Suda,
Thanks for your valauable answers.
Now its importing without erprs.
But I would really appriciate if you can help me with this further.
When I look at the journal entries for this particular import the enties are like:
BP A/c Dr                     100
Suspense A/c Cr                      0
Miscellaneous Expenses          100
I dont know how the Misc. Exp a/c is getting affected, while 100 should be with suspense A/c
Please suggest.

Importing Opening Balances from Legacy System

Hi All,
I am trying to import opeing balances for Items, Vendors and Customers and GL a/c from legacy system to SAP B1.
Can anay one of you suggest the process involved at SAP B1 end for importing the balances?
I know DTW can be used, but can anyone explain the process for SAP B1?
I would appriciate your time spent on answering this.

G/L A/c Balances have to brought in as the last step. You can use the Journal Entry to enter the opening balances or Administration > System Initialization > Opening Balance
BP Balances can be imported using DTW templates for Invoices, Credit Memo's etc. There are examples in the DTW folder.
Inventory Balances can be imported using the Stock taking template and the Cost of the Items can be imported as a price list and the Inventory > Inventory Transactions > Initial Quantities, Inventory Tracking and Stock Posting.
Using the stock posting tab you can reconcile the inventory based on the pricelist to which you had imported the Inventory costs.
If you need more details pls let me know

How can i import Customer/Vendor Opening Balances - Invoice wise

I am going on a parallel run from next week onwards and the Client want to import all Customer/Vendor Opening Balances invoice wise , so that they can get the Aging Analysis report the no of days Outstanding as well as they can enter payment invoice wise.

Sanjay,
To import BP Opening Invoices or Credit Memo's,
Use the template inside DTW folder
\Templates\oInvoices for AR Invoices
\Templates\oPurchaseInvoices for AP Invoices
and so on
I presume you would want to import them as Service Invoice so
In the Document template
Set
DocNum....................................DocType......................HandWritten
original Invoice number...............dDocument_Service..............tYes
Document_lines
AccountCode
Opening Balance Account Code (Opening Balance Account is generally created in the Equity drawer and is used purely for all Opening trasactions and will balance out to zero (0) once all opening data from legacy system has been brought over)
Let me know if you need further direction

Malhoutra,
Using a JE template is almost the same as using a document template (you will have to use service typre documents). The document will create a JE.
The difference is that it allows you to create the actual document types which make up the BP balance, so the team will be able to see each open invoice and credit note separately. This helps when reconciling future payment receipts and providing good aging reports.
You can achieve the same by creating a line for each document in your journal lines template.
You will need to use documents for items as you are bringing in quantity and values which cannot be done with journals. If you are managing item cost by warehouse, you will need a document line with quantity and cost in each warehouse for each item. Using the inventory general entry template will set the item cost properly in the system in the Master data when processing new transactions.
Gordon is correct, there are many ways to achieve what is required, each partner will use what they are used to and know will work for the customer - as each customer is different too.

Bill Wise Opening Balance

Hai,
I need to enter the Bill wise opening Balance of the customer/Vendor.
Please let me know how this can be done
regards
Suresh S

Opening balances for vendors/customers can be uploaded only through AP/AR invoice formats (templates defined by SAP) thru the dtw files. While doing so need to decide if the inventory details can kept optional.
