Activate Non-leading ledger in existing co.code

[Private_Member_10672]

Hi,

We’re planning to activate a non-leading ledger for already existing co.code in our system. Please note that this co.code went live recently where it involves FI module only and not OTC, P2P or D2B modules.

Can anyone shed some lights about the pros & cons with reference to potential data inconsistencies & other technical incompatibilities of activation of non-leading ledger for this co.code?

We have found OSS note 1272843- Subsequently implementing additional ledger EHP4, whereas we on EHP3. Note 1227504 talks about SAP General Ledger Migration Service where we fall under Scenario 8: Subsequent switch from the accounts approach to the ledger approach.

To avoid data inconsistencies, we don't mind making the current balances 'zero' before activating non-leading ledger, then repost the balances, if it helps! However, we're more not sure about technical changes wrt fields in tables, structures, packages, program changes ,if any, by doing this change.

Note says that "you have to structure accounts and already posted line items of the subsequently implemented ledger in addition to consistently changing various interdependent Customizing settings" .What does it mean by ' to structure accounts'?

There were many threads around this topic but with no conclusive reply in any with regards to solution except contact SAP and utilize their General Ledger Migration Service.

Is it ever possible to do in-house, or contact to SAP is the only option considering the co.code used for just Financial JE postings.

Any inputs around this will be highly appreciated.

Thanks,

Hello Nirav, From note 891144 you will see the following stated: As a result, the following is explicitly prohibited : ... 2. You cannot change the ledger definitions subsequently,.... Unfortunately there is no standard tool to migrate those "old" documents that were posted before change. So, as far as I can see, please, contact e-mail address SAP NewGL Migration by mail for activation of a parallel ledger in new general ledger after new general ledger go-live. Also, you could send an e-mail to SAP NewGL Migration e-mail account accessed through www.service.sap.com/glmig. I hope this clarify your doubts. Best Regards Zidane
