Activate a non leading ledger

[Former Member]

Hello,

General ledger accounting is active since go live(six months ago).We have not active: a)scenarios
in new general ledger(profit center, segment,... .b) spliting.At the moment we want to define and activate a non-leading ledger.

We already sent an email to SAP ( NewGLMigration@sap.com),because for active a non leading ledger requires a migration project: Scenario 7: Subsequent implementation of an additional ledger. In this scenario
SAP performs only technical activities and provides a migration cockpit (reports to execute and so on).

My questions are:

1-We are FI consultants, and we know that create and assign a non leading ledger is easy
and short-time but, do we need any special training for migration? Is it enough
with migration cockpit and following it step by step?

2-We need an opening balance for 2014 with new non leading ledger. Is it possible, after close fiscal
year 2013 in leading ledger ?.The migration could be during fiscal year 2014 but
with an opening balance for 2014?

Additional information:

1-Fixed asset is active in our system, and we have to create a new depreciation area for this
and transfer values.

Hi Manel,

I have a similar case with you. We have already upload data migration in PRD for leading ledger for fiscal year 2013. New transaction on 2014 is not exists yet. But now we realize that one of our non leading ledger (tax) has not config yet. And we need to activate the tax non leading ledger.

Should i implement Subsequent Implementation of an Additional Ledger (scenario 7 & 8)?

Do you have any suggestion, please?

Thank you in advance,

Hi Manel,

For this you need to write to SAP and take SAP's SLO service. They will provide steps to perform migration in the system to activate non leading ledger and reconcile balances post migration.

To activate a new depreciation area in an already live system follow the steps below:-

1. OADB -Create a new depreciation area with reference to an existing deprecation area.
2. OABC - Specify Dependencies (Rules for value takeover).
3.   OAYZ - Activate the newly created deprecation area for the asset classes you want.
4. AFBN - You can open the newly created depreciation area with options mentioned in that screen.  If you select an option to Leave values initial   in AFBN the newly created depreciation area will not have any values. (Blank).  In that case, you can create a custom trans type to update values in this dep area.... If you do not select then the values will get copied from the reference depreciation area.
