Simple Finance - Data Migration

[Former Member]

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

Thanks for the reply.

In terms of data migration, I assume it's going to be as per SAP ECC 6.0 migration and we can still use the standard LSMW. I'm just wondering if the unified journal has some impact to how data should be migrated for FI and CO.

Godofredo,

You don't need the LSMW for this migration. All what's needed is in the Simple Finance add-on itself. The migration path is as follow:

0- technical install                         

1- GL => new GL                           

2- Simple Finance DDIC migration

3- Activate NAA   

All the impacts are with new GL and new asset accounting.

Be aware that if you're moving directly from classic GL, there are limitations on the new GL features in sfin: There is no document splitting for ex (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.

Hi

Apologies if my question was vague or confusing. I was actually asking for details about data migration from an old system to SAP ECC with sFIN. But thanks for your answer.
