GL code Structure

[Former Member]

Dear gurus

We are going for upgradation from 4.7E to ECC 6.0, in this we would like to convert GL Code structure(6 digit) to 8 digit Structure.

Is it possible in ECC 6.0, if so, what r the consequence generally face.

Can we create new GL Structure and can be transferred from 6 digit structure to 8 digit GL Code strucutre

I would suggest that if you want to use the 6 digits, since historical data cannot be changed, transfer the balances to the new 6 GL accounts and block the old accounts for posting. Make sure that all account determination set up is also corrected with the new accounts.

Hi,

I give below my views :

The chart of Account will hold upto 10 digits.

You have to change the interval in OBD4 if you have given only 6 digit for accounts groups.

The transaction data with old GL account numbers cannot be changed.

The financial statement version derived so will have two accounts with same description.

All the automatic account assignment has to be changed with new numbers.

All the primary cost element numbers and the relative assignments in CO area has to be changed.

The cut off date can be fixed as 31.03.2010 to enable you to take the balance sheet with old gl

account numbers and thereafter upload the balances in new version is preferred.
