Hello Rahul

If this new company code is a replacement for the old company code then the GL balances, Vendor balances and customer balances (assets if present) need to be migrated.

Please check with the Functional guys if open items need to be migrated. For migration either you can use Idocs, RFBIBL00 or use the relevant BAPI like BAPI_ACC_DOCUMENT_POST etc.

Additionally check for any company code hard coding in forms, BTE's, exits...

Hi Arun,

Thank for your help.

The new company code7611 is not for replacement for the old comp code(7602).

But the process and data is same for new comp code. So when functional persons

create the new comp code from copying the existing company code at that point

of time the master data will also copy into new company code or not?

Or is there any explicit data migration is required?

thanks

Hi Rahul

If it s new company code then no transaction data migration is required.

However what might be required is extending the vendors, materials, GL accounts. customers, assets to the new company code. Please check with them.

(For example Vendor 12 was created for 7602, does it need to be programatically created for 7611 or will be master data team take care of it etc )

Another change could be for the smartforms, Payment advice forms, DME files etc
