S/4 HANA Migration - Non Leading Ledger Migration with New Group - Note 2220152

Hi Experts,

We are in process to migrate to HANA. As part of this we have executed pre- check report ‘RASFIN_MIGR_PRECHECK’.
This report gave us error ‘ Fiscal Year variant in a particular company code has different start date'.

Current Scenario:

We have one company code in we have used ledger approach (SPL).
For IFRS reporting leading ledger is used and for local IGAAP reporting non leading ledger is used.
As our company code has two ledger i.e. leading ledger '0L' and non leading ledger 'AW' have different fiscal year variant as per business requirement.
Leading ledger 0L has fiscal year variant K4 (January to December) and non leading ledger AW is using K3 (April to March).


To resolve this error we referred SAP note 2220152 and 2490222. Now we have new ledger in new ledger group i.e. same as shown in SAP note 2220152.

Scenario After Configuring as per SAP note 2220152 and 2490222:

Leading Ledger 0L is in Ledger Group 0L only ledger in it's group.
New ledger group created 'AGVW' containing new ledger AL (same fiscal year as leading ledger 0L i.e. K4) which is representative ledger of this new ledger group and one additional ledger 'AW'.

Now we have following queries:

2) Is it mandatory to copy old data of AW ledger to new ledger AL as business want to continue using old AW ledger for reporting as it has K3 fiscal year as per their requirement.
3) If it is mandatory to copy all data of AW ledger to AL ledger is there any tool / program to transfer all transaction data from one non leading ledger to another non leading ledger?

You suggestions are appreciated.

Hi nilesh619


You have the correct configuration in place. However, in addition to configuration you also need to take of the following things:

1. You should have closed your books for the period before you move the config changes into test or production environment.

2. The data will be updated for the ledgers only when you execute the migration.

3. Specific postings in GL for non leading ledger will still happen to take care of your local reporting. You can test for the postings in a dev or test enviornment.

4. When the asset postings are made, you will see the new ledger group AGVW on Accounting entries. However, when you execute the reports for depreciation area, you will be able to asset block accordingly.

5. The transfer of historical data will be executed by the migration steps and you do not need to execute seperate transfer program. Just follow the migration guide for the version of S/4HANA you have.

Thanks & Regards

Dear Sanil,

Thanks for quick response and agree with your points.

We are currently worried about the step before HANA Migration. We just need confirmation if we need to transfer data from AW to AL before migrating data to HANA system (If there is any risk).

Hi

You do not need to transfer. Specifically you need to do below:

1. Complete your changes in your development or golden client for representative ledger.

2. Now complete all year period end closing activities in Production and take all the reports for finanical balances

3. Close your periods in your production system

4. Install maintanance planner etc in Production and move your configuration for ledger to Production

5. Using maintainance planner, execute the migration of logistics data

6. Once logistics migration is done, you need to migrate your transaction data for finance as well.

When you execute the step 6, all your ledgers will be updated

I hope I am able to answer your question.

Dear Sanil,

Are you sure about Ledger(old) to Ledger(new) data copy since SAP suggests the same. for reference, Note 2220152 explains the same.

"Existing customers must ensure that correct values exist in the new representative ledger L2 . Otherwise, subsequent processes cannot be executed. In addition, a migration of the data (with migration scenario 7) is absolutely vital."

Could you please confirm on that part.

Thanks.

Dear All,

The issue is solved now.

We have done the system conversion with above mentioned config and it was not mandate to copy old ledger Data to new one. System copies the data As Is.

Thread can be closed now.

Thank you.
