Symptom

You want to activate a non-leading ledger in general ledger accounting. To do this, you use the SAP General Ledger Migration Service. You want to assign a fiscal year variant to the ledger that does not correspond to the fiscal year variant of the ledger from which the opening balances are to be generated for the new ledger.

Other Terms

Reason and Prerequisites

Solution

When defining the Customizing and the settings in the Migration Cockpit, proceed as follows:

l Specify the ledger from which you want to transfer the balance carryforward to the new ledger (= source ledger). Select the first posting date in the source ledger as the migration date for implementing the new ledger. This ensures that the balance carryforward is transferred at the corresponding time.

l If you want the non-leading ledger that is to be subsequently implemented to map a fiscal year that does not start on the migration date, you must define a shortened fiscal year for the new ledger for the time between the migration date and the start of the fiscal year.

           See the notes about this on SAP Service Marketplace/GLMIG. Also implement the attached corrections under "Related Notes".
