Upload of Expenses and Revenues in Trail Balance

[Siva_RamaKrishn]

Hi,

We are in the cutover phase now and how we ulpoad the expense sand revenues in trail balance becz my client is insisting on this and while I doing the same the system is asking the cost object for the same how we will give this which does not exist in legacy.

What is the best practice on the revenues and expenses upload in SAP.

Can we use SAP cost centers and upload or we can use dummy cost centers for this purpose and block later on ?

Hi,

Group the expenses and revenues at cost center level as defined in SAP. Generally these are uploaded at balance level.

Hi,

Siva How are you???

Take one Cost center for Initial uploading with the Go-Live date time frame (that means for one day) and upload all the P&L Accounts. After completion of uploading Lock the Cost center in control data tab. Just like you are creating Initial uploading GL's.

All the best,

Hi Siva,

This is because you have created some of the P&L accounts as cost elements. These GLs will mandatorily ask for a cost object while posting/uploading.

If you have created cost centers in SAP and if you can identify the line items with a particular cost center, then you can upload the GL line items along with the cost center.

If you cannot identify the cost centers for the line items at this point, upload them with a dummy cost center and later apportion them.

If one GL would have to be bifurcated between say two cost centers, then you should have two line items in your upload file, each one with the respective cost centers.

Regards,

Mike
