Parallel ledger - activation

Hello,
we have new General Ledger (ECC 5.0) for two years. During this year we decided to use paralel ledger for IAS / IFRS purposes from 1.1.2007 backwards.
We have activated the additional parallel ledger according to SAP documentation. Now we need the balances and open items for all accounts, but we can´t find the way. In customizing are the tools which ask for migration plan. The migration plan is possible to create only for data migration from classic GL into new GL. We tried to find some solution within OSS, but notes describe the problems which appear during data migration from classic to new GL.
I would like to ask you if it is possible to create parallel ledger during the year ? How we can fill new parallel ledger with balances of accounts from previous year and periods for year 2007?
Has anybody with this any experience or do you have any new documentation ?
thanks in advance

Paralle ledger activation in the middle of the year is very dangerous for the previously posted open items.
At the time of clearing system try to post the entries in the parallel ledgers. But parallel ledger not available in the previous postings.
It will result adverse results in most of the transactions.Please check and take necessary action

Parallel currency and Parallel ledger activation

Dear all,
In one of our client places, they have done the parallel currency and parallel ledger activation in the middle that is after 1 month of go live. Because of this they are not able to clear the already posted documents. When they try to clear, all the documents are going to dump. Please suggest what has to be done.
Thanks & Regards,

Post Accounting Entries only in Parallel Ledger

Hi All,
I am activating Parallel Ledger (Parallel Currency: USD) in a SAP system which has already gone "LIVE".
In our data conversion exericise, migration GL accounts will be created where all USD translation differences that arise will remain in these migration GL accounts.
Thus I would like to ask if there is any transaction T-Code where I can clear the USD translation difference amount sitting in the migration GL accounts,i.e. to post only in the Parallel Ledger without creating postings in the General Ledger (Leading Ledger).
Thank you for your time!!

Hi Sunil!
Thank you for the prompt feeback!
F-05 is very useful. But I can't seem to find a T-Code with FB50L.
Are we looking at FB50? If it is FB50, where can I determine in the document entry the Ledger Im posting to. By the way Im using SAP 4.7.

Parallel ledger without migration cockpit

Collagues,
We have by mistake activated a parallel ledger to a PRD company without the migration cockpit.
SAP suggestion was to deactivate such ledger, but the only way to do this is deleting all entries in FAGLFLEXT and FAGLFLEXA for such ledger in the corresponding companies.
Are you guys aware of any other way to deactivate this without deleting the entries?
Thnks.

Note 1014364 - NewGL migration: Information, prerequisites, performance specifies, that you need the migration cockpit.
Did you ask SAP about doing it the "manual" way?

Parallel ledger for tax purposes

Dear SAPiens,
I heard an idea from a client: to use a parallel ledger in newGL for profit tax purposes, i.e. to record taxable revenues and deductible expenses in a ledger dedicated for tax purposes, to make it easy to determine the base of profit tax.
Does anyone have experience with such a use of parallel ledgers? Could it work and make sense?

HI,
Please assing the company code ato Paralle ledger.

Parallel Ledger Vs. Special purpose Ledger

HI All
Can you please help me with the following.
I am doing an analysis comparison between Parallel ledger and Special purpose ledger. specificaly to the following requirements.
Month end currency translation by group account, company, trading partner, profit centre, partner profit centre, FI transaction type and FI segment with full audit trail; .
Translation of certain accounts using a monthly average rate, others using a spot rate and some using an historical rate (the translation to group currency needs to be entered by account i.e. there is no one historical rate, the rate will depend on the account);
Accounts translated at the monthly average need to be translated based on periodic movement and NOT the cumulative balance i.e. Cumulative at the end of period 3 = [(opening balance) + (movement for period 1 x monthly average for period 1) + (movement for period 2 x monthly average for period 2) + (movement for period 3 x monthly average for period 3)]. NOT: [(cumulative balance at the end of period 3 X monthly average for period 3)] which is incorrect;
If possible (as is possible in BPC):
For accounts translated at period end spot rate: separation of the currency translation movement on the account balance into transaction types for:
Currency translation difference on retranslation of the opening balance;
Currency translation difference on the movement for the period.
The ability to define different rates per account, transaction type combination (i.e. the balance on the depreciation transaction type of the fixed asset accumulated depreciation reconciliation account should be translated at an average rate while the account balance as a whole is translated to the period end spot u2013 the difference between the translation of the depreciation movement at average and spot rates should be posted to a separate transaction type as u201CCurrency translation differences on the movement for the periodu201D;
Posting of the balance sheet balancing difference on the translation to a u201Ccurrency translation adjustment accountu201D in the balance sheet.

ECC6-Parallel Ledger Clarification

Hi,
We have activated the parallel ledger.
The user wants to post a vendor/customer transactions to a single ledger ie either to parallel ledger or to the leading ledger thru the trans code: FB01L, but at the time of posting there is a error message
" Postings to ledger 0L not permitted with account type D
Diagnosis
Posting to account D with account type must be made in all ledgers of the company code".
Can anyone please clarify to me whether this is standard settings of SAP where vendor/customer trans cannot be posted to a single ledger?
Points would be rewarded.
Thanks
Suresh

Dear SAp,
This is logical that the vendor / customer should not be posted only in one ledger.
Only GL accounts can be posted to only in one ledger for adjustment purposes
This is standard
Assign points if useful

How to correct an acquisition posting in an parallel ledger

Hello,
I have the following situation:
We are using New GL concept and have setup one parallel ledger (16)
We have setup two depreciation areas, one pointing to the 0L, the other one to parallel ledger
During vendor posting of an asset the capitalisation is done in both ledgers posting to the capex balance sheet account (standard behavior). For reasons the customer wants to redraw the capitalisation but only in the parallel ledger, he wants to post it as costs ( P&L account)instead of the balance sheet account.
Whats the best approach here?
Many thanks

Hi You Need to define following settings:
Assign Depreciation Area to your Parallel Ledger i.e. Non Leading Ledger
SPRO>IMGFinancial Accounting (New)> Asset Accounting> Valuation>Depreciation Areas>Define Depreciation Areas
The GL Column will be 3 and Target Grp will be 16 in your case
Now Create a new Transaction Type which will be copy of your 101 and restrict this Transaction type for your Depreciation Area whihc is specific to your non leading ledger.
Now post ABSO and ASKBN
Please let me know if you face any issues.

Vivek

system is not deriving pofit center and it is giving the below error.
Balancing field "Profit Center" in line item 001 not filled
please advise any configration i have missed out.
any quaries please please let me know.
Regards

Hi Venkat,
Even in the first transaction, the profit center has not been determined by document splitting
if the profit center was derived by document splitting we would have seen 2 items for sundry creditors in the GL view
So check your document splitting settings for the corresponding document type, and transaction variant
the account category which includes vendor's recon accounts should be included in "item categories to be edited" list

Material ledger activity rate revaluation account determination modification

Scenario:
SAP ECC 617
Material ledger activated with activity rate revaluation (i.e. cost center over/under absorption posts to ML and not to production orders)
Standard SAP setup has PRV transaction key used to post both multi-level price differences to inventory and to capture the offset to the cost center clearing entries (GBB-AUI) causing the values to get comingled in the same account
Question:
For reporting purposes I would like to determine a unique account for the activity rate revaluation entries. There is no relevant general modifier available for transaction key PRV. Is it possible and practical to modify table T169A for a specific value string / field name combination that represents this material ledger transaction? If so, what is the combination? Or will this cause major issues with ML processing?
I'm trying to find a creative way to fill this gap without account substitution.

Hi Eric,
This is an interesting one.
Modifying value string might be an option but in my opinion is quite a serious "brain surgery" on the system :-).
You may want to try another option.
In SPRO -> Controlling -> General Controlling -> Organization -> Maintain Versions
for version 0, Controlling Area Settings, Settings for Each Fiscal Year in tab Price Calculation there is field Revaluation.
One of the options there is 'Own business transaction'. With this option posting to sending Cost Centre resulting from actual activity price revaluation will be posted with different Business Transaction (although same secondary cost element as original activity allocation).
In reports you can separate postings based on Business transaction.
It definitely works for Activity Update 1 (revaluation of production orders).
I'm not sure if it works for Activity Udate 2 (no revaluation of production orders).
Please let us know the results of your investigation.
Regards,
Szymon

Document No. in parallel Ledger

Hi,
We use parallel ledger in TRM and create two valuation area 001 and 002 for IGAAP and IFRS. We Initialization of Parallel ledger.
We post both valuation area for accounting but system pickup diff. number range as per valuation area. My document type same use TR for accounting.
How to use same number range and same number generate in both valuation area?
Regards,
Vishal Patel

Hi,
what is the intention for having 1:1 document numbers in different Valuation Areas? Imagine, it is very likely, that you have different number of flows (e.g. having only FX-valuation in VA 001 but FX & Title-valuation in VA 002) which - as a consequence - results in a deviation of document-# in FI.
As you have a drilldown-possibility into FI in TPM13 & TPM20, in my eyes there is no real need (...and in praxis no real chance) to keep posting documents 1:1 across VAs.

Lorenz

Amount diff between Leading leder & non leading ledger (Parallel ledger)

Hi SAP Guru's
Write now we are working on ECC 6.0 with new gl. We have configure parallel ledger accounting & document splitting also.
But when I am seeing balances in 0L & 1L (GL Bal), system showing differences.When i am found out this difference it comes in Zero balance account(for document splitting).
my question is why the system showing diff balances in 0l & 1l?
So, may I know what is reason behind this?
Can any plz help me out for above issues......

No sir,
I have taken same fiscal yr variant.

Cancelling an async call in parallel flow activity

Hi all,
As known, each branch of a parallel flow activity must be completed for rest of the BPEL execution continues. Let me expose a scenario:
Imagine you need to get the current market value of the euro. You have 3 different sources of information that deliver the same result. Using parallel flow activity, you perform calls to these 3 sources. Once the first source calls back, it´s not necessary to wait for the others callback, because you already have the information that you need in your hands. How can I cancel the other waiting async calls? In WLI, we set up the parallel flow as AND or OR type. Using AND (+) means that all branch must be completed so that the process continues. Using OR (-) means that once the first branch is finished, the others will be ignored (cancelled) and the process continues. How can I get the same feature in BPEL?

Hi Gustavo,
There may be easier way to do this, but somehow it's not striking at the moment. In the meantime, you can try the following and see. If i get more robust and easier solution, i'll post it here.
Just thinking aloud here:
1) Throw a fault e.g. ResponseRecieved in each branch as soon as the branch recieves a response. The fault has to be handled in a fault handler associated with a scope containing the parallel flow. You can leave the fault handler "empty" (no-oos) and proceed with the rest of the activities.
The above should allow the control to proceed with the activities next to the flow.
OR
2) In each flow, as soon as you receive a response after receive activity, invoke a callback port type of the rest of the asynchronous calls and send a dummy callback message. This should mark the completion of the receive activities in other branches. I think correlaiton needs to be handled here.
Please try if you have not already done so and let me know.
Thanks-

Material Ledger activation (COML) - multiple plants in single company code.

Hi -
Material Ledger activation (COML)- multiple plants in single company code.
In large mfg plant - process industry (proposed to dived into number of production plants), Matrial 'a' is produced in plant 'a'.Material 'a' is input to procude matl 'B' in plant 'B"..so on and so forth.
We are activating Material Ledger (COML) for actual costing purpose. Question -During multi level price determination, will the variance of lower level materials ( produced in lowerlevel /other plants in our case) be rolled up to higher level materials (in a different plant). please let me know if it really works, if yes what are the guidelines (if any) .
Please advise ASAP.
Thanks
Chris
Edited by: Chris Farr on Oct 23, 2008 11:12 AM

Hi Chris,
from a business point of view there is a difference that you might take into consideration: The valauation level will always be on material and plant combination. That means, the division into several virtual plants will usually lead to different actual prices for the same material in each plant. That might happen for example when you carry over stocks from last month into the current month in one plant, while the other plant has only receipts from the current month.
That might me desired, but often it is not. If the mutiple plants are in reality only one location it might be hard to explain why the prices differ between plants.
best regards, Udo

Comparison parallel ledger app. with parallel account app. in terms of IFRS

Hİ ALL,
we would like to know what is the advantages of using parallel ledger approach for transition to IFRS in SAP instead of using parallel account approach?
thanks in advance

Hi,
Currently I am making a similar review - account based versus parallel ledger. The pro's of the of parallel ledger are the con's of account based and vice versa:
Parallel ledger - Pros
- G/L accounts: fewer G/L accounts required (so opportunity to reduce SCOA), same G/L accounts are shared across all ledgers - unified reporting
- Fiscal year variant: company codes with different fiscal year variants assigned to a separate ledger, facilitating consolidated reporting
- Posting period variant: postings to ledgers can be separately controlled by assigning a separate posting period variant for the ledger
- Carry forward: no need to maintain separate retained earnings accounts per accounting principle
- Currency valuations and translations: Automated postings updated to appropriate ledgers based on the assignment to relevant accounting principles
- Adjustment and value postings: Adjustment and value postings, such as reclassification are automatically posted to the appropriate ledgers
- Standard reports: standard reports are executed by ledger
Parallel ledger - Cons
- The data volume could increase as a result ofmaintaining parallel ledgers (see SAP note 820495 for tips on resolving the issue)
- Parallel ledger is a new concept at my customer so it requires a complete revamp of system configuation, with all the impact on processes and people, all old local reports (using special ledger) will become obsolete.
Hope this helps. By the way: we have chosen to move from account-based to parallel ledger despite the implementation effort.
Best regards,
Alexander Min
