Simple Finance - Data Migration

Hi experts, We are implementing Simple Finance currently and would like to know if there is a document that lists the changes in tables and functionalities? And in terms of data migration, we'd like to know if there should be a special approach that we need to take note of?
Thanks for your help

Hi Godofredo,
Here is the list of FI/CO tables removed in sFIN v1.0:
Index tables removed:
BSIS
BSAS
BSID
BSAD
BSIK
BSAK
FAGLBSIS
FAGLBSAS
Aggregate tables removed:
GLT0
FAGLFLEXT
KNC1
LFC1
KNC3
LFC3
COSS
COSP
Please note that all those tables are replaced by HANA CDS views. So those suppression should not affect existing custom ABAP code (as long as such code is not writing in one of those tables).
Also that new tables will be created in the data model to manage historical data.
Finally, this list above is for sFIN v1.0. The new v2.0 will introduce some changes on this list as well.
Regarding migration, it's mostly a technical migration. Althrough keep in mind that the migration to sFIN will migrate you to New GL and new Asset Accounting. Hence some parametrization work will need to take place after the migration if you're starting from Classic GL and/or classic AA.
Hope it helps,
Arnaud

Is there a (supported) way of migrating regular ERP IDES system to HANA for use of Simple Finance?

We have installed a SAP ERP IDES system but we'd like to try out Simple Finance. We could do a fresh install of ERP but we like the demo data included in IDES system. Is there a simple SAP supported way of migrating our system (or data to be precise)?

No. In down sampling with iTunes a new file is created and added to the library. Most of the old data are preserved but some such as date added are created when the track is added.
Using a third party tool may achieve what you want because the new file could overwrite the old one. I recall using a third party tool to edit a mp3 and overwrite the old file. iTunes was tricked into thinking the replacement was still the original file, but of course the edits were in place. I can't make a specific application recommendation for bulk conversion where it will overwrite the old file.
I will regard this as a general iTunes question but in general if you are using beta software versions you should not be posting in the main iTunes forum.

Migration to Simple Finance downtime

Hi-
assuming that the preparatory steps for a migration to Simple Finance have been completed successfully and assuming a migration from Classic GL, how long approximately will the business downtime of the productive system be?
Best regards
Lutz

Hi Lutz,
You can expect a minimum of 24 hours of production system downtime.
For example, for an actual migration we did, we experienced the following figures:
Data transfer (93 millions rows): 50 mns
Data migration: 11h elapsed time
Overall the elapsed time repartition should roughly work out to be:
Technical install: 10%
GL -> new GL: 30%
sfin data migration: 50%
activate NAA: 10%
Hope it helps,
Arnaud

Data migration i Finance

can anyone help me how the <b>data migration</b> works in finance in short description

Hello
Data migration from legacy to SAP is responsibility of various module leads.
Assuming you are responsible for FI, the data could be GL /AP/AR/AA master data and balances.
While there are tools to upload, the first thing is mapping the legacy data with SAP data.
What fields are available in SAP and whether they meet the legacy requirements. After this excercise, the ABAPer would make a conversion program. This could be tested in any of the test clients.
As far as the field in PO are concerned, open a created PO, sit with a MM guy and decide on the mandatory fields and map with legacy.

Data migration methods

Hi experts. I am working on a study for a data migration project where data from multiple legacy systems would be moved into SAP. Apart from LSMW and BDC, what are the other useful methods when the data migration involves huge volumes of upload data?

Hi,
Obviously the answer depends to a certain extent on the circumstances of your project (complexity of data, volume, etc) and on the object in question, but here are a few rules of thumb.
If you are new to this I would stay away from IDOCs and BAPIs as the set up is often a little complicated and if there are errors the problem is often not too easy to identify. And IDOC processing is not always as quick as people assume. For example, the customer master IDOC is processed in the background by a call transaction of XD01.
For you I would suggest definitely using LSMW, and where possible within LSMW use the standard uploads. There will be situations where the standard upload does not cover everything (again using customers as an example, it will not include the extended address data or the long texts) but I would still use the standard upload to load as much as you can, and then write a couple of simple update BDC recordings (XD02, XK02, etc) to add what's missing.
Some examples of the standard upload programs are:
Customers - RFBIDE00
Vendors - RFBIKE00
Materials - RMDATIND
All finance transactions - RFBIBL00
Fixed assets - RAALTD01
The standard uploads are normally well documented; they often use BDC (not RMDATIND) so are quite transparent; and they are generally pretty flexible.
There are a few standard uploads which are not so good, such as the sales order load, and to a lesser extent the purchase order load. In these cases you might need to look at using the BAPIs but get help from someone who has used them before.
You might want to use recordings for very simple loads like bank master.
If migrating SAP to SAP, where possible you would look to transfer master data via ALE using IDOCs. But again you need to know what you are doing and it sounds like you are moving from a non-SAP to a SAP system anyway.
Good luck,
Ben

SAP Data Migration from R/3 4.6C to ECC 6.0

Hey All
We are planning to upgrade SAP R/3 4.6C to ECC 6 in near future. I am aware that data migration is not an issue as upgrade takes care of it all. What we are concerned with is that if after a few days of upgrade when the system is functional and users have performed some quantum of transactions on it, in case if the system fails then and we have to revert back to R/3 4.6C how can we get back all the information that we processed on ECC back to R/3.
I would like to know if anyone who has performed an upgrade, had some kind of fail over strategy for such a situation. Is there some tool we can use for this purpose?
Regards
Bilal Nazir

Simple answer: not possible.
> I would like to know if anyone who has performed an upgrade, had some kind of fail over strategy for such a situation. Is there some tool we can use for this purpose?
No - there is no tool.
Table structures change, update programs changed - it's not possible to "roll back" that to a date and re-do it on 4.6c again.
Do minimize the risk I would copy the production system to a sandbox, do the upgrade and let the (key-) users test their functionality intensively.

Data migration to new macbook via external usb?

So I have a macbook pro right now and am looking at getting a macbook. I want to use the data migration assistant during the macbook setup to keep all my files, applications and things from the mbp.
The question is can I use a external usb drive to do this or does it have to be firewire? I wouldn't actually have both computers at the same time, so I would create a restore on the external usb and just plug that intot he new macbook. Would that do?
If not and I need firewire, would a simple usb to firewire adapter work?
Thanks

Patience sir. People who have an answer will post. If no one does, it's probably too esoteric for most. See "A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs" at http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=580146. That should get you started.

Packup - a simple backup/restore/migration script for Pacman

I have seen numerous posts on the forums asking for an easy way to backup and restore installed software for purposes of backup, migration or simply for convenience. Packup attempts to fill this void. Simply put, Packup is an ncurses wrapper for Pacman which provides a simple backup/restore/migration system for Arch. Don't believe me? Try it for yourself!

I think you miscopied something there...

it's kinda redundant... shouldn't one of those be =0? or =3? i'm not even sure which function you're referencing.

SAP Simple Finance on top of ERP Foundation Extension Trial

Hello Folks,
has anyone tried to install SAP Simple Finance Add-On on top of the ERP 6.0 Ehp7 on Hana Trial Edition?
We need a Simple Finance Demo system and I'm currently finding the best way to get it.
Steps to do on the ERP 6.0 Ehp7 on Hana Trial system:
- Update Hana DB to SPS08
- Update Ehp7 to latest SPS07
- Install Simple Finance
Somebody tried one of these steps?
Best Regards

hi Patrick,
First of all, the SAP ERP Foundation Extension trial is there only for 30 days. In addition, you should not do any system landscape level updating/upgrading/adding add-ons, it is not compliant with Trial Terms and Conditions; on the other side, the trial license will not allow all these kind of development-like activities either.
Coming back to your question about the experience, my SAP ERP Foundation Extension RDS project is in the progress to update the trail with sFIN 2.0. What we have done:
1. completed data consistance check
2. finished fin application related preparation
Next week, we will update the system to SP7 and install the sFIN 2.0. Going forward, we will deliver a sFIN 2.0 trial to replace the existing ERP Foundation Extension trial. Planned RTC is by end of June,2015.
Stay tuned with us!
feel free to contact me offline at: [email protected]
best, Xiaohua

BW DataSource for Cash Management on SAP Simple Finance

Hi All Experts,
In our project, we have installed SAP Simple Finance 1.0 add-on for SAP Business Suite on HANA which introduced plenty of new functionality especially on Finance Accounting and Cash Management.
The impact from Simple Finance is that, it seems existing standard data sources for Treasury - Cash Management don't work anymore, i.e. there is no transaction data. I believe it's because the change on source table inside SAP ERP.
We also already activated local BI contents on SAP ERP side (i.e. embedded BW) which allows reporting directly on top of SAP ERP Query. All data models here are VirtualProvider based on function modules. And data is there!
However, due to some limitation, we are not authorized to modify or customize those BW objects on SAP ERP. And meanwhile, we have got a requirement to extract Cash Management data from SAP ERP to dedicated SAP BW system (not direct reporting on SAP ERP). We encountered a problem that we cannot use the existing BI contents; and also cannot generate export data source from VirtualProvider in ERP to be used a source towards BW.
Is there any workaround or resolution to extract data from SAP ERP (Simple Finance installed) to SAP BW? Any suggest is appreciated. Thank you.
Regards,
Thanoos

if i understood this right you are willing to use some HANA Live views?
And you want to consume modified versions for these in the BW system?
I can find several links describing how to do so ....

Extending HANA Live Views
But these urls describe the way to extend/enhance 'view like' views i think.
How 'function module' views should be extended is something i have not seen/read before.
If the functionmodules point to HANA Calculation VIews maybe ..?
I reply to this thread to find out how this should be handled.

Data migration killed my mac. Anyone else?

Please let me know if this has happened to you or anyone else. Started data migration from my DualG5 to my new 8 core, and it fried the hard drive on the G5 after 1/2 hour of connection. Gone. Dead. Kaput. Cofirmed by Apple techs. Un-reformattable. Thanks.

Drives fail, I would be it was a simple coincidence. I would make sure they check the power supply, could have been surge that killed the drive.

NewGL Rollup still relevant or enhanced with Simple Finance?

Hi Gurus,
I am studying the implementation of Simple Finance and wonder whether the NewGL rollups are still relevant?
My requirement is to agregate, transform and control data before transfer to the consolidation plateform.
Do you know if there is any enhanced or new solution that can fulfill this requirement?
If I can use the same function, do you know if it has been developped on Hana DB and benefit from Hana capabilities?
I try to find detailed help documentation about Simple Finance (custo & functional) but I am not sure to find the good one, could you help me finding it.
Best regards
Pascal

Hi Pascal,
here is the link to the documentation for the Simple Finance add-on 1.0: http://help.sap.com/sfin100
For your requirement of aggregation and transformation prior to transfer into consolidation, we still recommend using the "classical" approaches of roll-up ledger, extraction to SAP Business Warehouse, or SAP Financial Information Management.
Best regards,
Stefan

Simple Finance with NewGL document split

Hi Gurus!
With the "S for Hana" appraoch I am wondering if Simple finance includes NewGL Document split combined reporting views?
Will I be able to analyse my line items including FI & CO dimensions before and after GL document split?
In other words, is simple Finance able to give access to BSEG, COEP and FAGLFLEXA? in the same view?
I am also not sure about the reporting tool giving access to these views: I know for sure that Hana live will give this access but would I be able to access these combined views with other reporting tools like ECC querries (SQVI), standard ALV reporting (FAGLL03...)?
Thank you in advance for your help,
Best regards
Pascal

Pascal,
NewGL features available in sfin depends on whether new GL was activated in FICO before the migration to sfin.
If you're migrating from FICO with new GL and document split activated, then the behaviour will be the same in sfin as before.
If you're moving directly from classic GL, there are limitations on the new GL features in sfin: There is no document splitting (to be delivered in the roadmap in Q4) . If you wanted documents split now in sFIN, you would have to migrate first in new GL, activate the document split, and then migrate to sfin.
In sfin v1.0, BSEG, COEP and FAGLFLEXA remain as table. This will however change in v2.0.
In sfin 1.0, there is a logical FICO document, but still 2 physical documents remain. As well, this will evolve in v2.0.
Finally, regarding reporting, some transactions have been replaced by Fiori apps. When this is the case, the transaction is no longer available, and you get a pop up window inviting you to go to the Fiori launchpad. Otherwise, the access to the old transactions remains. With the delivery of the newer versions of sfin, more and more transactions will move to Fiori.
Hope it helps,
Arnaud
