Go-live in EC-CS:update trading partner and transaction type on Balances

Former Member

Hi collegues,

We are on a go-live this december for EC-CS (consolidation) but never have used trading partner nor consolidation transaction type so there are not GL account balances differenciated by these two items on our FMGLFLEXT database for the operative ledger.

Which is the best option for the data to be collected into our consolidation ledger in EC-CS (ECMCT database) when data transfer for all our consolidation units will be realtime update from FI?

I really don't know if I must correct the balance on FMGLFLEXT throught FI postings or if just adjustments on EC-CS it's the best option. I'm thinking on the posibility of extracting the Financial Statement at any time from F.01 tx...

Is there any transaction on FI to authomatically update at least the trading partner on GL accounts positions/balances?

Thanks in advance!

Regards,

Rushid

Dear Rushid,

the trading partner is stored in the documents itself, so in the BSEG / FAGLFLEXA tables.

If you use realtime update to EC-CS then also the trading partners will be updated in ECMCT/ECMCA even if the trading partner information was not used in FI.

If you want to change to "periodic extract" (so do not use realtime update anymore) then you have to update the GLT3 table from FI documents (RFBILA00 = F.01) and then extract it to EC-CS.

I hope my answer helps.

Ciao,

Hi David,

In fact there has never existed any entry for trading partners on GL, AR, AP master data. So consequenly, no balance in FAGLFLEXT/ nor documents on BSEG have ever had these fields populated.

My question is: which is the common option for a go live in such situation? Our users will distribute the current GL balances into "sub-balances" (GLAcctTxtypetradpartner) in an excell file but I do not really know what to do with this data:

- direct postings on BSEG cancelling the previous totals,

- rollup into a Special ledger of the new gl,

- rollup into the Preparations for Consolidation Ledger,

- corrections on ECMCT after the periodic extract...

What would choose?

Thanks!
