Segmentation accounts - Copy Express

Dear experts,
Client have total 4590 line item in the Chart Of Account in the old company database. When we do the copy express database, only 3558 line item copy over. Is there any limitation ie maximum number of General Ledger accounts that we can copy over?

Sheon

Hi kfsheon,
I usually use delimited text and not csv to import data to b1 using DTW. Here is the example to import segmented account into B1:
Code     AccountType     ActiveAccount     FatherAccountKey     FormatCode
Code     AccountType     ActiveAccount     FatherAccountKey     FormatCode
          tNO     100000000000000     11.00.000.00

- Code column is empty
- accounttype is defined for non titile account
- active account is defined as tNO for title account and tYES for level 5 or non title account
- fatheraccountkey and formatcode are defined. You do not use _SYS but you must use format code.
extract the format code of COA segmented using this following sample query:
select acctcode, formatcode, acctname, segment_0, segment_1, Segment_2 from oact
the segment fields are use to separate format code
you can use the above sample as guidance. You can contact me and get the contact info in my business card.

  • Using Copy Express for the COA

    Hi Experts,
    Just want to make sure.
    It is not possible at all to Copy a portion of a segmented Chart Of Accounts from one database into another database that does not make use of Account Segmentation via Copy Express?
    Thanks!
    Regards

    Hi,
    It's impossile to copy a portion of a segmented Chart Of Accounts by Copy Express. You should import by DWT. This is an easy way.
    There is a guide on wiki page:

  • Copy Express/ Account Segmentation

    Dear All,
    Am trying to make a duplicate of a Database by using copy express. Note that the Chart of Account is segmented. I have managed to copy everything using copy express except the Accounts . The title Accounts are being copied but no active account is being copied. If I view the log file after the copy express process, I can see Invalid Code in the error field.
    Anyone having the same issue and managed to solve it
    Thanks
    Kentish

    I have used the following link and managed to get things working.: Re: Copy express COA
    You need to actually do the migration in steps.

  • Copy Express Item Groups Transaction revenue Account not Found

    Currently using Copy Express.
    1.  Have successfully loaded COA
    2. Manually entered G/L account determinaition and tax codes
    3. Error below is occuring when trying to Copy Item Groups and Warehouses.  The items groups and Warehosues are failing.
    Transaction created by document was not found, 'Revenue account'.
    NOTE: the accounts determined for each item group in the source database all exist in the target database.
    Can any please assist in explaining why this is happening and how I could prevent this from occuring without having to mannually create warehosues and items?
    Thanks Very much
    Lisa

    Hi Lisa,
    I have a suggestion.
    The Revenue account in question may be problematic.                                                                               
    Can you try to change to another revenue account in your source db, and try to copy warehouse to target DB?                                                                               
    1.goto source db,and search for the specific warehouse and change the         
      revenue account to another account
    2.and copy warehouse to target db 
    Hope this will be helpful.
    Kind regards,
    Willy

  • Problem while copying datas using Copy Express

    Hai Experts,
    Greetings.
    We were trying to copy Master and Configuration datas from test database to Live database using Copy express. The datas from Item Master, BP Master copied Correctly, but, in CoA (we are using Segmented Accounts) the G/L Account --> the Code column shows the System refernce no. (ie., _SYS00000002679) and the Name of the G/L Account is copied correctly.
    Is there any solution to solve this problem.
    Thanks and Regards
    Raja

    On your test company, there's segmented accounting setup. Is the segmented accounting setup on the Live company (or have you managed to use copy express to copy over the segments and other settings)?
    If you've done that, then maybe you could export to XML your Copy Express worksheet and upload it somewhere so we can have a look?

  • Vendor Master copying through Copy Express

    Hi Experts,
    I am copying from One Database to a NEW Database ( this database has diffrent configuration ) the Vendor Master Data through Copy Express but while runing the Copy Express I am getting an error as 'Bank does not exsits in the company'. In the Base Company Database from where I am copying has a diffrent bank acccount but in the NEW Database which is created is a another company and has diffrent bank account hence I cannot keep the same bank account as in the Base Compnay Database.
    Please let me know how to achive a soltuion to it.
    Regards,
    Kawish

    Dear Vijay,
    Please note that the folowing details as required by you.
    SAP Version - 2005B
    Patch level 39
    When executing the query from query generator as SELECT * FROM T0.BankCountr, T0.BankCode,T0.DflAccount,T0.DflBranch FROm OCRD T0 I am getting value in Default Bank as -1 and and rest coloumn are blank.
    If I create manually the House Bank Account in the target company ( which means I create the base company bank account in the target company ) then upload may be done but one have to then manually change in the vendors BP master the target company bank account which is a tedious task.
    Hope you are able to give a proper solution in this regard.

  • Copy Express Crash

    Greetings,
    In the midst of copying Chart of Account Titles via Copy Express.
    However, I can only copy up to the 1st title of level 3. If more than that the copy express crash.
    For example, if Level 2 title has 2 sub-titles, I can copy the first sub-title successfully. When I tried to copy the second sub-title, copy express will crash.
    What is wrong? Application error? I'm using 8.81 PL05.
    P/S: I have copied the same database before in the same manner in 2005A SP01 PL46 with no problem.

    Hi Gordon,
    Yes it's the same localization.
    More info:
    Base db is an upgraded db from 2005A SP01 PL46 to 8.81 PL05. Target db is a newly created db in 8.81 PL05.

  • Copy Express distorting data

    Hello
    We have used Copy Express to copy one database into another.
    This has led to several data corruption :
    - loss of tax account in the tax settings
    - change of item group code number (without a proper renumbering of data)
    - copy of one user table into another one
    Copy was done folder by folder (but we didn't do it all in one go) and I didn't untick any customisation.
    We are in B1 2007 patch 37.
    Has anyone seen those type of problem ? How did you solve it ?
    Thanks

  • Copy express and user defined windows

    Hi All,
    I´m using CopyExpress to copy a company A to B with a certain selection criteria.
    The content of the user defined windows are in the target company (B) and when adding an entry into the Journal Entry certain fields are populated automatically when saving the entry.
    That´s how we expect the system to behave.
    But for a certain document serie these same fields are not populated automatically.
    Someone has encountered some issues regarging the Journal Entry and Copy Express?
    Thanks for your help

    The data copied by Copy Express may not be identical.  For example, the account code will be different if you use segregated accounts.  Some of other internal codes may not be the same either.
    Thanks,

  • Using copy express for user settings

    I am in the process of setting up 10 company databases on one system.  The same users will have access to all of the databases (over 100 users).  We have laboriously entered form settings for every possible form under the manager user in one of the databases.  We have a script to copy manager's settings to other users. 
    What I need to do is copy manager's settings from the first database to each of the others.  Copy express has an option to copy display settings, and I have attempted to do so.  But I get a message saying that the record already exists in the target database.  I know that manager has never changed any form settings in the other databases, so I don't know what record it is referring to.
    Can anyone help with this?  Thanks.

    Hi!
    SAP B1 has the new feature of copy one user form settings to another. For B cluster it is 2007B PL 15.
    Please refer SAP Software Center info and update to required patch.

  • Exchange Fluctuation Entry for Segment account in SAP

    Dear All,

    How to account exchange

    Hi,
    As on one account can be defined as Exchange rate gain/loss account to book the exchange fluctuations, you can try the option of manually transfering the relevant balance from the G\L which has been defined as default to the other G\L Account to book for the other branch transactions.
    Check if this workaround helps.

  • Copy express

    Hello
    I try to copy data from one data bas eto another and I have the same message displaying I do not know how to fix the issue:
    "Failed to create default folder for application file. Check option for default folder assignment"
    what folder does it mean? is it under path option? what type of folder to use?
    Thank you
    Guillaume

    Hi
    You have to create a folder on your desktop and set that path at the time of copy data.
    When you will start copy express, at the time of selection of Base database and target database, you have to set the path for log files.

  • Using Copy Express  in PLD

    Hi Experts,
    Is it possible to transfer PLD layouts from one database to another using Copy Express.
    Can any one help me to solve this issue. bcs i have created all layout in test data base now i want to transfer to production database ....ASAP pls....
    Karthi.

    Karthi,
    Copy Express will surely do the job and if you want to just copy a few templates individually, you could use this SQL Script
    INSERT INTO [TARGET\].[DBO\].[RDOC\]
    SELECT [SOURCE\].[DBO\].[RDOC\].* FROM  [SOURCE\].[DBO\].[RDOC\]
    WHERE  [SOURCE\].[DBO\].[RDOC\].DOCCODE = 'CHO*****'
    INSERT INTO [TARGET\].[DBO\].[RITM\]
    SELECT [SOURCE\].[DBO\].[RITM\].*
    FROM [SOURCE\].[DBO\].[RITM\]
    WHERE [SOURCE\].[DBO\].[RITM\].DOCCODE = 'CHO*****' AND [SOURCE\].[DBO\].[RITM\].DOCCODE
    IN (SELECT DOCCODE FROM [TARGET\].[DBO\].[RDOC\])
    I DocCode example shown above is of the Check PLD template
    You can get the DocCode from the PLd Document Properties window
