Subsequent Activation of existing Non Leading Ledger in existing Company Code

[Former Member]

Hi there

I have a query which I could not find an answer to. Please refer below

Facts:

• 1.We are on ECC 6.0 with New GL Active for all company codes. Three company codes exist.
• 2.We have two Ledgers – 0L & NL - Leading and Non Leading ledgers respectively.
• 3.All company codes except one are assigned to the Non Leading ledger. The company code not assigned is SDPL (for sake of conversation)
• 4.All company codes are assigned to One Chart of Depreciation.
• 5.New Depreciation Areas are required for IFRS reporting which will be linked to the Non Leading ledger.
• 6.IFRS reporting is not applicable to the company code to which the Non Leading ledger is not assigned i.e. for SDPL no IFRS reporting is needed.
• 7.But since the Chart of Depreciation is same for all the company codes, the Non Leading ledger is to be activated for this SDPL as well so that Depreciation can be posted to 0L & NL.
• 8.The company code SDPL has 4 years of data.
• 9.The Company code is not in ‘Productive’ mode i.e. in OBY6 the “Company Code is Productive” is unchecked.
• 10.We will soon migrate to S4 HANA.

Questions:

• 1.Do we need the Migration service for this scenario?
• 2.We do not want to maintain Non leading ledger for SDPL but since the Chart of Depreciation is same, we have to configure. Can we activate the Non leading Ledger so that system allows postings to go through for SDPL?
• When we migrate to S4 HANA, will this cause any issue?

Please share your thoughts.

Thanks, Sumit
