Cost Elements (Data Migration)

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

I am new to data migration. I would like to check whether do we need to migrate controlling documents relating to cost elements (Primary and Secondary) to the new system.

If yes, where can I find the information

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

The documents are client specific in SAP so when you migrate from one system to another they have to be uploaded along with the master data (like cost element).

You can get information through SAP note no:0001070629 &

SAP Data migration note SAP Note 1559332.

If you have any difficulty please feel free to revert back.

Thanks,

Hi Aisih,

May I know how should we migrate the controlling documents to the new system?

Thank you.

Hi,

Controlling documents are created internally when you do transaction along with FI posting and this can be uploaded with LSMW.As it is a data that can be uploaded after the master data has been uploaded in the new system. For LSMW you can visit the following link.

Hi Ashish,

Just ome more doubt, if it is a secondary cost element, do we need to migrate the controlling documents data over to the new SAP environment?

If yes, could you describe what are the steps I need to take?

Thank you.
