Hi,

You should take the balances as on 31.03.2008 if your Go-Live date is 01.04.2008. If you uploade as of 31.03.2008 only you shall be able to take the opening TB other wise you can not.

You can create one or multiple document types only for legacy data upload. Its again depending upon the business decision and how they would like to track their opening balances.

Hope it helps

Hi

in short 31.3.08 is your 'Cut over date' and 1.4.08 is your go live date

Hi,

Docment date - Original Invoice date (can be of any thing and any year to know actual invoice date)

Posting date - Should be 31.03.2008 if your Go-Live date is 01.04.2008 to get the Opening TB.

Hope it helps

Hi,

There is nothing called fiscal year creation in SAP. If you assign the fiscal year varient to your company code, it becomes active. I hope you have assigned the appropriate Fiscal year varient Apr-Mar for your company code. But for upload of opening balances, you keep the period open for Mar'08. This can be opened by using T Code OB52.

Hope it helps

Hi,

Yes you are right.. if you open the period Mar'08 in OB52. it means Fiscal year 2007-08 is open.

I think, in your case, period 12 for Mar'08. So, keep the from period 12 for 2007 (2007-08) / 2008 (2007-08) to period 1 2008 (2008-09) / 2009 (2008-09).

Hope it clears your doubt
