Subsequent implementation of non leading ledger with a diferent fiscal year variant

[dianadoguet]

Hello,

There is a standard option/process to subsequent add in S/4 HANA 2021 a non leading ledger with a different fiscal year variant comparing with the leading ledger?

The leading ledger has K4 and the new non leading ledger will have V9 (Octobre-September).

I am aware of the functionality Subsequent implementation of a further accounting principle but I read it works only in the scenario where source (0L) and target ledger (new one) have the same fiscal year variant. Is this true?

Have you face this type of requirement and if yes how did you make it work?

Thank you,

Diana

Hello Diana,

I had similar request earlier this year, even though it says it's only possible with same fiscal year variants, we managed to introduce non-leading ledger with different FYV to company codes where they don't have fix assets and asset accounting is deactivated. During the migration project you have to change status of few error messages to warning or information and also don't forget to assign different accounting principle to the new non-leading ledger (it could be dummy one). I opened OSS ticket with SAP but support was not particularly useful they just keep repeating what is written on the documentation without even try to understand our scenario, so we keep going by ourselves. At the end project was successful and 3 company codes are now running for 6 months without issues.

Hi Dimitro How are you? In this moment I am implementing this solution in a client with S4 1709 version, but I have some doubts about the information that I should configure in the preparatory phase e.i: Transfer Historical Data for Event-Based Revenue Recognition and Define Account Assignment for Reconciling Aggregated Values. The Go live was in 2019. If you have some advice that I could help me, I would be grateful. Regards Ylse.
