Project Accounting Data Conversion

Dear Friends,
Can any one tell me what data we have to Migrate from Legacy to Oracle PA @ the time of Implementation
Thanks
Bharath

Hi
For any project type you will need to convert -
- Projects and Tasks
- Project Budgets, financial plans and work plans
- Actual cost incurred on existing projects.
If you have billing installed, look at converting also -
- Agreement and fundings
- Actual revenue generated
- Actual invoices billed to customers
If you implement capital projects you will need to take care of the following -
- Assets linked to projects
- Actual capitalized asset lines

Dear all,
I have a requirement to perform data conversion for Project module from 11.5 to R12. I am new to this module. Can anybody can outline (or provide documentation reference):
1)Source tables in 11.5
2)Data Selection for source tables in 11.5
3)Validations need to be performed for data clean up
4)Interface tables and interface programs in R12
Thanks,
Sudip

FICO Data Conversions clarifications

Hi,
I am currently working on data conversion project. We have our FY from April to March and we are going live on June 01. I am trying to analyse the FICO objects. I have seen many conversations here but confused between balances and open items. I am trying to use ABAP programs instead of LSMW as much as possible
Master Data:
1) GL Master Data
2) AP Vendor Master Data
3) AR Customer Master Data
4) FA Master Data
5) Cost Centers
6) Profit Centers
Transaction Data:
Note that client wants to use only one offsetting conversion account instead of one account each for GL, AP, AR, FA etc
7) GL Balances
     what is the difference between balances and open items here and how do we post them (can i use f-02 for both) and document types?
     lets say i have GL 600100 which has a balance of $5000. If i want to post it during data conversion, should i post it as Dr 600100 Cr 700100 (this is a        offsetting account used only for conversion)
     how do you post an GL Open Items and what would be the accounting entries
8) Vendor Balances
     what is the difference between Vendor balances and Vendor Open items.
     lets say if i have 10 invoices pending payment for a vendor 10000, is the posting to KR doc type as Cr 10000 (vendor) Dr 700100 (this is a offsetting account used only for conversion) correct?
9) Customer Balances
     what is the difference between Customer balances and Customer Open items.
     lets say if i have 10 invoices pending payment by a customer 80000, is the posting to DR doc type as Dr 80000 (Customer) Cr 700100 (this is a offsetting account used only for conversion) correct?
10) Historical Data
     If the client asks us to post data from April 1 until May 31, what is the best approach, also here we are circumventing few things such as
     If there is a GR is done but not Invoiced, then these will be just posted as regular invoices (KR) instead of PO - GR - IV sequence
     If there is Invoice (PO based ones) but not paid, then these will be considered as regular open invoices (KR) as above
     like wise for O2C invoices too
I am trying to understand if i missing anything and if i have to follow any sequence. Appreciate if you guys can help with an example and if if i am missing any objects here...
Thanks
Shriya

Follow this and use LSMW.
LSMW for Functional Consultants in simple step-by-step way
Refer this to understand the basic:
Data Migration Part - Reg.
Regarding your questions: It does not matter whether you use single or five or six offsetting account. You should aware that at the end of the transfer your offsetting accounting balance should be zero.
You take trail balance (forget about the vendors / customers as you load them as open items)
All debit balances you debit in SAP and Credit the offsetting account. All credits you credit in SAP and debit offsetting account. Usually, GL open items would not be loaded, it is only balances. Open items are only for vendors and customers.
Note: You should NOT load tax line on the customer / vendor invoices, as they are already accounted for in the GL balances. Otherwise, your Migration account would never be zero.
For Assets, you need to load asset sub-ledger data separately through AS91 and GL balances separately. Use OAMK to set and reset the reconciliation accounts of assets. Once you loaded asset values, put them as reconciliation accounts and nobody should touch them.
You only load historical data line items of vendors or customers. You do not post goods or invoices receipts again from MM. Mostly, what you can upload is open purchase orders.
Hope this helps.

Ravi

Satish,
Why are you using the "append to fact table" package? I have to say I have never used that package before, but have you tried running the "Import" package to see if that runs fine with your datafile?

PA - Transaction Data Conversion

Dear Experts,
Any one could help me what logic we have to follow when we do Data Conversion for PA for PA Transactional Data
Thanks
Bharath

Hi
You will need to upload the historical costs of the projects as miscellaneous transactions into PA TRANSACTIONS INTERFACE table.
It is recomended to set up a Transaction Source that will be used for conversion. Transactions would be already accounted, so system will not need to distribute those again in PA.
Usually companies tend to convert the historic cost of projects in summary, and not each EI separately. You could upload a transaction for summary amount by project, task, type, organization and period.

Project & WBS data

Hi All,
I have project & WBS data in my Datasource. I have checked using RSA3 for a Datasource, and i c that the Project and Wbs data appear exactly as the Table Data like
For Ex: Refer this Record values for WBS and Project respectuvely.
(WBS)P000254A1 and P000254(Project).
But when i replicate this Datasource in BW,,these above said values change to (WBS)1463 and 316(Project)
Y is this change involved when the Datasource in R.3 shows correct Data but while In BW it shows Something Else,,
Please Help on this Issue.
Thanks
Point Are Assured..

Hi Jr,
Sorry for the delay In reply!!
Im Checking the data in BI at PSA level.I just replicated the datasource then scheduled the infopak to DS to see it.
The DS is a Zdatasource which is made thru a Ztable. The table & ZDS in R//3 contains correct P******(WBS) and P****(project) data's,,but y is it wrong in BI??
Is there any conversion exits!!,,,Bcoz,project number starts vth P****** but earlier in my Ztable it was showing the same numerics which is as of now in BI,,So i checked on the SEttingsUserparameterthen Check on conversion exit Box,Then finally the Data gt changed to P********.So is there any technique like this in BI??
Please help

GL Data Conversion from Legacy to Oracle EBS

Hi All,
I am tasked with converting legacy data into GL. I have worked on other conversions like supplier, AR and AP conversions but never worked on GL conversion, so I don't know how and where to start, what are the pre-requisites for entering data into gl_interface table how to ensure that data is correct in the .csv file etc.
Kindly request you all to guide me in right direction. Hope to hear from you all very soon!!! :)
Regards

Hi,
When you talk about GL-Data it is the trial balance to be loaded from legacy to oracle applications.
You can use Web-ADI to upload it ,the check list are
The balance for each account comibnation in the legacy system to be mapped to GL-Oracle code combination balance
With respect to open AR, AP Invoices if the invoices are converted using a control account for migration in GL then
the the balance transfered from AP,AR need not be reversed in GL from the source receivables and payables.
In case if the same account combination are for migrating the balances from AP,AR to GL ..Then the balances transferred from AP,AR should be reversed ..so that it does not affect the TB-GL-Balance
Finally ensure that the balance for the TB-tallys with your legacy system and upload it using Web-ADI ,import and
review and post it.
Hope this points helps your GL-Data conversion.

Data conversion for new sob

Dear Viewers
on 11.5.10
We are creating a new SOB with a change in currency from Feb-11 as this is the requirement
For the same, we need to do data conversion.
I have a confusion for Purchase Orders and Sales Orders
Purchase Orders:
Open purchase orders will be converted, means the unfulfilled PO`s i.e the ones not received and are fully open.
The PO`s which have been recieved but not delivered, Requested the users to clear the intransit receipts.
The PO's which are partially received, what to be done for them?
If a PO is fully received and Delivered will not me converted to the new SOB as its not an open PO
but If invoice comes after Feb-11, than how the matching will be done?
What if a return has to be made moving forward in FEB-11 under new SOB
Sales Orders:
Open sales orders will be converted, that is the ones that have been entered and not yet booked.
Users have been requested to clear off the Sales order lines which are already pick confirmed but not yet shipped, hence they will be shipped and interfaced to AR
For the Sales orders that have been booked, those lines that are not yet processed further will also be converted.
Now what if a receipt comes after feb 11, how to handle this as the sales order wiould not have been converted?
Please give your advise on the data migration strategy for PO`s and SO's.
Please do add any point that may have been missed by me
Appreciate your help
Thanks

Otherwise if it has to be converted identifying the POs under this scenario, you may consider converting those maintaining receipt close tolerance as 100% and matching type as 2 -way (again business approval needed to handle audit issues) in order to avoid the receipts/delivery conversion etc.<br>
What if a return has to be made moving forward in FEB-11 under new SOB<br>Ideally returns can be done using Miscellaneous/Account Alias Issues specifying the appropriate transaction reasons to clarify the scenario.<br>

Billing Legacy master & transactional data conversion/migration in SAP ISU

Hi Experts,
Please let me know, in ISU implementation project, what is Billing related Legacy master & transactional data conversion/migration is done in SAP ISU system.
Thanks in advance

Pankaj,
There is no straight forward transaction to download the Configuration data and export it to a file.
However, you can use the BC set functionality to extract the IMG node with its contents.
Check the following SAP help portal link for more info on BC sets
Business Configuration Sets (BC-CUS) - SAP Library
The archive data that you are talking about; Is it master data or transaction data?
Also, what this data is related to-Financial Documents, Billing related info?
There is one standard transaction SARA through which based on the migration object you can archive the data and export it into a file in a particular location..
Hope it helps..
Thanks,

Data conversion for New GL - Going live during fiscal year

Hi Experts,
My client is going live on Oct 1 (fiscal year in Jan -Dec). So for data conversion we need to load P&L and BalanceSheet as of Sept 30, 2009. I need your help to resolve few open issues. (we have activated Doc Splitting with Zero Balance and Segment )
1) When we load P&L balances - how can I assign Profit Centers to all these P&L iitems .
2) What is the procedure (best practices) to assign Profit Centers to all the Balance Sheet items since we are going live during Fiscal Year
3) When we process open items (AR, AP) in month of October how the Profit Center assignment will work?
(My client will be using Profit /Cost center terminology first time, so we need to map all the B&S and PnL items to Profit centers)
4) What is the best way to map all the Balance Sheet GL accounts to Profit Centers.
Sorry for asking too many questions. Any help would me very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Sam

1) When we load P&L balances - how can I assign Profit Centers to all these P&L iitems .
Each P&L account balance has to be upload with cost centre, then automatically PC will be triggered.
2) What is the procedure (best practices) to assign Profit Centers to all the Balance Sheet items since we are going live during Fiscal Year
Let client decide the profit centre for balance sheet items, since they knows which balance relates to which pc
3) When we process open items (AR, AP) in month of October how the Profit Center assignment will work?
While uploading AR,AP balances, each line item to be uploaded with profit centre, automatically in october PC assignment will work.
(My client will be using Profit /Cost center terminology first time, so we need to map all the B&S and PnL items to Profit centers)
4) What is the best way to map all the Balance Sheet GL accounts to Profit Centers
Try to identify each balance sheet gl balance to each profit centre, this will help in future reports. otherwise put in common pc

Data conversion is necessary at field level

Hi everybody.
Im a BW consultant in a BCS project, and I had to make a change in a objetct that is used in BCS as a custom attribute.

Field /BIC/ZC_EMPBPM: Data conversion is necessary
Message no. UGMD418
Diagnosis
Following a change to the definition of field /BIC/ZC_EMPBPM it is necessary to convert the old data for this field before the new attributes can be activated. This arises, for example, when the following attributes have been changed:
Conversion exit
Version or time dependency of hierarchies
System Response
You cannot start the application. A data conversion is necessary first.
Procedure
Execute the necessary data conversion at the field level. To do this, press the respective button with the symbol in the hierarchical detail display at the level of field /BIC/ZC_EMPBPM. If necessary, the system will prompt you for more information in a separate dialog box.
Regards!

Hi,
I quess the following should help.
Execute UCWB01 t-code, goto your data basis, in the tabstrip for assigning roles drag and drop any characteristic, then save. The system will find the change and check and regenerate data structures (that's what you need).
Then either in UCWB or UCWB02 t-code got your ConsArea and regenerate it.

Data Conversion issue

Hello I'm new to Oracle DB and still learn SQL.
I have a problem with data conversion in a CASE expression.
Example:
select ... ,
CASE column WHEN 1 THEN
select max(column)
from table
where ...
ELSE 0 END AS value,
from     ...
where ...
order by ...
What I'm basically intend to do is to select a value from another table depending on the value of
a special column.
The problem now is that the
select max(column)
from table
where ...
statement in its original form selects the right value as float (e.g. 0.24)which I need.
But the same statement embedded in the CASE expression returns (e.g. 0 ) which seems to be the same result converted to an integer or something.
I tried to convert the result in the CASE expression but without success.
Does anybody know what could cause this behavior and how to fix it ?
Thanks for any help with this.

Welcome to the forum!
Whenever you have a problem, post a complete script that people can run to re-create the problem. Include CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements for a little sample data if necessary. (A lot of folks show the problem using commonly available tables, such as those in the scott or hr schemas, so they don't have to post any sample data.)
if your problem involves an error message, post the complete error message you're getting, including line numbers.
Always say which version of Oracle you're using, e.g. 10.2.0.1.0.
Sorry, I can't re-create the problem.
I did something as similar as I could to what you posted:
SELECT       deptno
,       CASE deptno
          WHEN 10
          THEN (
               SELECT MAX (sal)
               FROM     scott.emp
               WHERE     deptno     = d.deptno
          ELSE 0
       END          AS value
,       dname
FROM       scott.dept     d
WHERE       deptno     <= 30
ORDER BY deptno
;And it ran, producing this output:
`   DEPTNO      VALUE DNAME
        10       5000 ACCOUNTING
        20          0 RESEARCH
        30          0 SALES

Data conversion of open checks

Hello,
We are preparing our data conversions for a new implementation of SAP in the US. A question came up as to whether we should enter check masters for checks we have printed and mailed to our vendors but haven't been cashed at the time of go-live. The other option would be to put the balance of these open checks into a GL account and manually enter journal entries when they are cashed.
Our normal business process will be to use FCHR to process a file we receive from our bank with cashed checks. If we don't create check masters for our open checks, then FCHR will not be able to automatically process cashed checks from before go-live.
My question: is it best practice to load these open checks during the data conversion into SAP so that FCHR will clear them out, or is this normally handled as an exception using manual journal entries?
And, if it is best practice to load the check masters in SAP, what transaction code would we use to enter the open checks?
Thanks,
JB

How to catch failed rows from excel export data conversion

I am pulling data from SQL Server and exporting to Excel file. Using SSIS 2008, sending to Excel 2003. The process is working fine, and I want to grab any data conversion failures, specifically I want to grab any data that fails or is to be truncated.
I add a flat file destination to the data conversion error line (red) and pointed it to a txt file. This caused an error, saying some of the columns were the wrong data type to go in a text file. So I added a data conversion to the first data
conversion error line, but the data types wont change.
The wierd thing, is the error says the columns are DT_NTEXT and need to be DT_TEXT, but they aren't, they are DT_WSTR. Anyway, I tried to convert to DT_TEXT and it caused the data conversions in my original conversion to change, whcih broke the whole
package.
My intention is to grab the erroring row so it can be manually converted. So how do I do that without adding 100 more errors?

Hi teahou,
do you really use two accounts to post on the MSDN forums?
I think the data types were not guessed correctly by the Flat File Destination component and thus you need to adjust them using the advanced editor, then naturally the data conversion transformations become obsolete.
