Impact of New GL on Custom Developments

[Former Member]

Hi Every1

We are migrating from Classical GL to New GL in ECC 6. We are even doing document Splitting. Can anyone tell me what kind of impact its going have on all the Custom developments?

Thanks

Hello

When you migrate from classic to new GL, document splitting is not functioning on legacy open items. It is working only in the post migration date data.

This is one of the serious issues in document splitting. Please check for OSS notes.

Also SAP recommends, migration should be done in consultation with SAP.

I guess it depends on what custom devlopments you have, and at what part of the process these are called.

Obviosuly the application has changed drastically, and there are new transactions, if you decide to use the new extended GL.

@ Suresh - we are looking into the available OSS notes and are also in touch with SAP.

@ Barry - The Custom developments I was refering to are Interfaces ( z programs which bring data in and out of the system, the RFC's ), ALE IDOC's, Userexits, and other z programs.

I wanted to know what kind of technical changes will be required as now we are thinking of replacing Business Area with Profit Center.

Hello

Check all the inetrface programs / look for table name replacement. In New GL the data is stored in some new tables / custom fields.

Include these tables along with BSEG / BKPF and other FI tables.

Ideally check the interface program code. Check each parameter fields and map the gaps in the ne GL.

I am sure the changes are minor and the requires extensive testing.
