Regarding cutover activities
hello SAP guys,
i am confused regarding activities takes place in CUTOVER.I have read that in cutover you have to upload the master data,u have to upload the stock,within cutover period your client can't create any new orders,and whatever the open orders are there you have to close it.
My question is that in one of the thread in sdn i have come to know that even the open orders you have to upload in SAP.Is it right?Does the uploading of open orders come under cutover activities?or within cutover period u have to close all the open orders so that u can work from start.
Apart from these if u could tell me other activities which takes place in cutover than i would be very greatful.
Thanking u guys in advance.
Hi,
On Cut Over date:- all data regarding stocks should be ready in uploadable format as on cut over date, there should not be any issues of material.
All Open PO ie material which will be arriving after the cut over date, such PO's should be created manually. No Material GR from such PO should be made before cutover date.
All sales order whose delivery will be before Cut over date, such material should be delivered, all Open Sales Order whose delivery is expected to be after cut over date, such Sales orders to be created and delivery should be done after Cutover date only.
All Prod orders for material, whose prod will start after cut over date to be created manually, all material whose prod is continuing after Cut over date, these orders balance quantity prod orders only needs to be created.

Details on Data cutover activities during merger of 2 company codes
Hi all,
Basically we have 2 companies which will be merged to one. what would be
the data cutover activities (MM perspective) during merger?
May I know more details (particularly transaction details) on
Inventory upload,
physical inventories and value adjustments,
other open items/ balances in financial accounting,
Open PO and PR
Thanks in advance
Regards
JJHi
There are lot of issues that you need to take care of:
1. is there any relation bwteeen the two company codes before merger. have they done any transactions between them? If yes, what wewould be the accounting treatment for the same. Would it be transferred at cost or Cost+Price (Transfer Price)
2. If you are in India, there would be effects of taxation like excise and vat calculations
3. One of the most important issue, is that of the new fiscal year. What strategy would you follow for the merged entity? In Sap, changing a fiscal year is a critical issue. Request you to refer SAP Help for the same. There are notes available for the same
4. What would be the strategy for Asset valuations? Are there different asset valuation procedures followed in the two company codes?
Thanks & regards

RegardsStrategy:
The cutover strategy in SAP project means the introspection of the data and business scenario while transferring the data from the non SAP to SAP system.The process involves the process of checking the redundencies involved while going Live.This ensures proper functioning of the R/3 system.And if there is any complications is involved is taken care of bveforehand so that ther is not problem while going live.
Activities:
Create a material master for the work in process and set the standard price as the cost incurred for that product (ie. Work in process)
Create a bill of material (which will be used only for this production order) including this material and other materials still to be consumed.
Create Routing for rest of the production process.
Bring the work in process material into inventory as of the cut off date.
Create the production orders in SAP for the Work in process and issue materials to production order -
Regarding cutover strategy!!!!
what are the steps involved in the cut over stratey? please explain
2.What is cut over strategy?
Cutover strategy depends upon how the organizations design their data load strategies. Normally, you decide the sequence of Data loads for Configuration settings, Master data, Transaction data which follows whom and then you make a copy of the system as a Production system a day before and after checking the successful data loads, you go-live 100% or partial again depending upon organizational setup and policies.
Cutover planning is highly site specific. There's no thumb rule. The stock data as on the date of going live should be correctly entered. But stock being a highly dynamic quantity, the strategy for loading should be crystal clear. Then you have to load all the back dated transaction on the stock. Some stock comes into your plant/storage location as return and some stock is actually delivered to your customer through sales orders of various kinds.

Some stock comes into your plant/storage location as return and some stock is actually delivered to your customer through sales orders of various kinds.
The final phase before going live with SAP is often referred to as the cutover phase, which is the process of transitioning from one system to a new one. The organization needs to plan, prepare and execute the cutover, by creating a cutover plan that describes all cutover tasks that have to be performed before the actual go-live. Examples of cutover tasks are:
Review and update all systems-related operations procedures like backup policies and system monitoring
Assign ownership of SAPs functional processes to individuals
Let SAP AG do a Going Live check, to get their blessing to go live with the system
Lock down the system, i.e. do not make any more changes to the SAP system
Cut-Over Activities:
Cutover Plan - The details of how to move to the production environment and go live. Ensuring that all master data to be loaded to production server is ready & in correct format. User training is conducted & user is in a comfort or atleast managable position to work on production server. Preparation of user manual. All go-live preparatory activities.
Open Client activity:
The activity or configuration to be done in production server, by opening an client should be ensured that it is done before go-live.
Cutover Activities
At the end of Phase 4, it is necessary to refine and validate the cutover plans generated in the Realization phase. Among other things, this includes tasks such as the reviewing of the runtime of test runs to estimate runtime for the complete data size. A conversion checklist for transporting all changes into the productive system is provided for all the configuration settings to be imported.
At this stage, it is important to verify that required tasks have been successfully completed, for example, that the technical environment is in place, the cutover programs are ready and the application data is verified. Approval is now sought from project management and company senior management to start the cutover process.
Here you can also refer to the Data Transfer Made Easy Guidebook created especially for this purpose. It is located in the Knowledge Corner of the ASAP CD.
The help desk is particularly important in the first weeks after going live, but you will require help desk support throughout the productive life of your R/3 System.
An internal help desk should be staffed and supported mainly by employees of the enterprise. Setting up a help desk involves, among other things, installing office and technical equipment and defining OSS users. Problems which cannot be solved by this internal help desk are forwarded to SAP via the OSS system.
As soon as you know when you will go live with the R/3 System or with new R/3 applications you should inform SAP. Thus you can ensure that SAP can provide optimal support throughout your going-live phase. For the last weeks before and first weeks after the go-live date, SAP offers the R/3 GoingLive Customer Care Service, accessible via SAPNet and OSS. -

Hello Experts,
Can someone give me the steps/sequence of FI cutover activities. We will be going live soon. I just want to be prepared for the turnaround.I know its a big topic but just outline should be helpful.
Thanks,
Reena.Hello Reena,
Cutover activities the name itself tells you cut the business data ex: legacy transactions are stopped from today onwards means today is cut date and will take all balances as on todays date and upload into sap system by using LSMW, BDC, Ecatt etc., It is part of final preparation at 4th phase in the ASAP methodology. That includes upload the balances, sign off from end user, user acceptance test etc.,
Financial Accounting:
The following account numbers will be used for the takeover of the opening data:
Open balance assets <No.>
Initial stock uploads <No.>
Open balance GL <No.>
Open balance of Receivables <No.>
Open balance of Payables <No.>
Trial Balance:-
1.The certified trial balance as on <date> will be taken over in the SAP system.
2.It may be noted that this trial balance needs to be broken down profit center wise for the balance sheet accounts and cost center & profit center wise for the revenue accounts (Profit & Loss Accounts)
3.The Balance sheet items excluding AR/AP/FA will be taken as the closing balance, whereas, open line item will be taken for AR/AP/FA u2013 respective sub-ledger wise. AR/AP line items will compulsory have payment terms. CWIP will be uploaded asset wise. So CWIP accounts will be broken up accordingly.
Accounting Entries while data upload:
1.Inventory Takeover:
When inventory will be uploaded, following entry will be generated by the system depending upon the valuation class specified in the material master.
Inventory Accountu2026u2026u2026u2026.Dr
To Initial stock upload account
2.Receivable Takeover:
Account Receivables will be uploaded customer wise and only the open items will be taken over to new system. At the time of upload following entry will be generated.
Customer Account (with actual reconciliation account Dr
To Opening balance u2013 account receivables
3.Payable Takeover:
Account Payables will be uploaded vendor wise and only the open items will be taken over to new system. At the time of upload following entry will be generated.
Vendor Account Dr
To Open Balance u2013 Account payables
4.Asset Takeover:
The asset balances will be uploaded asset wise. This will not create any accounting entries initially and asset balances will be loaded.
In case of Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, and Assets, it should be ensured that the sub ledger balances are tallying with the general ledger.
5.Other GL Takeover:
All the GL Accounts (other than above) will be taken over by debiting / crediting to the account code <No.> (open balance GL)
The closing balance of balance sheet accounts will be taken over and the profit and loss accounts will be taken cost center wise.
At the end of the data takeover exercise, all takeover accounts together shall show a u2018zerou2019 balance. These accounts shall be blocked for posting after the data take on activity.
GR/IR account:
It would be ideal to ensure that all invoices relating to goods received be booked in the legacy system before the cut off date. Alternatively, all provisions made in the legacy system relating to goods received but invoices not received will have to be adjusted against corresponding vendor invoices received after the go-live date. In case of invoices relating to goods that have been received before the go-live date, the following entry shall be passed in the production system:
Corresponding Provision Accountu2026u2026u2026u2026u2026u2026..Dr
To Vendor Account
The invoice for such receipts shall be passed using the FI invoice booking transaction and not through Materials Management. The verification of the invoice shall be manual.
Apart from the above-mentioned data, the budget data for Cost center and Profit center also needs to be uploaded into the SAP system.
Thanks

Regarding process activities tab in GP
Hi all,
Iam creating a GP process by using callable as portal iview when i am initiating the process iam able to call the respective object but in the iview it is showing the procees activities tab .Is there any way to customize it if so please help me with the solution .
Edited by: vamsi krishna on Jun 17, 2008 10:49 AMHi Vamsi,
Your issue can be solved in NW CE EHP1 where you can hide virtually all panels at the runtime.
If you are using NW 7.0 , you can use the SingleTaskUI, which can be accessed through a URL taken from the GP API.
In the GP API, the class GPActionInstance has the method generateNavigationTargetForSingleTaskUI, which generates a String URL that you can use to navigate to the Single Task of the current action. The Single Task UI view shows only the Content part of the GP Runtime (only the action UI).
Hope this will work....award if useful. -
Regarding : cutover data
Dear ALL
Can anyone explain about Cutover data, How to do it in Sap B1 .............HI
Cut over data is nothing but the opening balances of G/L and BP ana initial quantity of inventory.
For BP and G/L,you need to go Administration->System initialisation->Opening balances.
Here you need to define the Opening Balance(OB) account for that...
For initial quantity,Goto Inventory->Inventory transaction->initilal quantities,inventory tracking.
You need OB account for this

Sunil Patil.Hi,
I somewhat agree with what Raj has to say. Something which is already in process how can that be uploaded, how can one compensate for the time which has been consumed in the production activity.
I hope Rupesh Brahamakar sir would throw light on this issue, as most of us are under the dillema at the time of Cut-Over activity.
Sir, hoping your valueable inputs.
