FI-GL "New" extractors (3FI_GL_xx_TT) activation

[Former Member]

Hello Experts,

I have experience on BW side, but not specifically with FI-GL matters; I'm trying to enable "FI-GL new" extractors (known as 3FI_GL_xx_TT, where xx varies according the tables involved) to grab data into BW. I was researching and found some links:

1. http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/en/29/830e405c538f5ce10000000a155106/frameset.htm --> "General Ledger Accounting (FI-GL) (New)" model
2. http://www.sapfans.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=310780--> "New GL Activation" comments and steps (by looking into I started thinking  that it could be a functional team's activity)
3. http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/en/b6/5f58405e21ef6fe10000000a1550b0/content.htm--> "Activating General Ledger Accounting"

Ok, now, I've followed the steps mentioned on the 1. & 3. items above, and was finally able to generate 3FI_GL_0L_TT successfully (now I see it in RSA6 and could generate test extraction on RSA3), but when tried to figure out how to activate 3FI_GL_LP_TT I didn't found a way to do that, based on the idea that activation should be performed in a similar way (I can't see it available in the RSA6/RSA3 available despite I've performed suggested steps); I've tried different steps having no success.

Could you please advice on how to activate 3FI_GL_LP_TT data source?

Thanks a lot in advance. Best regards,

Bernardo

Hi,

Activation steps remains the same for all ledger types. Can you let me know the error message you are getting while activating the datasource for this particular ledger?

Also make sure that Ledger 'LP' is available in the source system.

Hey Rohini,

Yes I supposed that (the steps remaining the same for all cases). No error msgs are raised while activating; the result is simply that I can't finally see the datasource activated in RSA6 in the source sys.

How could I make sure the ledger LP is available? Please remember I'm all-new to this.

Hi Bernardo, Can u tell me the sequence of steps u have performed in r/3 to activate it? & any errors u r getting in doing so?

Hello Priya,

I've performed a lot of steps and can't remember specifically a relevant sequence. The result is simply that I can't finally see the datasource activated in RSA6 in the source sys.

Could you please provide a sequence of steps in order to get that ledger (LP) and its datasource activated?

Please keep in mind I'm all-new to this.

Best regards,

Hi Bernardo,

Activation of parallel ledger is done by Finance folks. U need not worry abt it, but if u need to do here is the steps...

Go to SPRO -> IMG -> Financila accounting new -> financial accounting global settings -> Ledgers -> Define Ledgers. Next -> Define and Activate Non-Leading Ledgers (below).

After doing this go to Tcode /nfaglbw01 & select ur totals table & execute. This will create an extract structure for ur parallel ledger. Next u will be able to see this in RSA5 & then after activation in RSA6, then RSA# also. Try this...

Best Regards,

Hi priya,

I am also facing the same issue.

I tried with same procedure you have explained but i got the bellow error message when double click on line items..

"Extractors for general ledger documents are not yet supported".

Thanks,

Hi,

Check whether the Business Function FIN_GL_CI_1 is activated in the source system. If not, then activate it and generate the datasource.
