Introduction
Segmental reporting is possible because of the
real time document split
Reconciliation between Controlling and Financial
Accounting can occur in real time
Multiple ledger can be maintained within the
New GL
The new GL has a extended data structure by
default which allows it to store additional fields
for Reporting and Analysis

Benefits
Supports different Reporting Purposes
Legal Entity Reporting
Segmental Reporting
Management Reporting
Multidimensional Analysis
Account Analysis, drill down reporting
BW Remote Reporting
Predefined Reports delivered as SAP Content
Meets International Expectations
Integration of Management dimensions in GL
Supports simple cost accounting via distribution and assessments in GL.
Real time posting from CO into FI (No longer at period end)
One uniform data based instead of multiple related databases saves a lot
of reconciliation time.
Segment
The segment field is one of the standard account
assignment objects available to help analysis fo objects
below Company code level.
Segmental Reporting gives detailed analysis at various level
of business activities.
Segmental Accounting can meet the requirements of
International Accounting Standards (IAS, US Gaap, IFRS)
The segment can supplement both profit center and
business area.
Segment can be derived from the Profit Center via Badi
A segment needs to be assigned in Profit Center Master
Record.

Segment
The segment field is a
standard field in the
totals table for the
new GL (FAGLFLEXT)
Segment wise
financial statements
can be created from
New FI drill down
Reporting.

Document Splitting
MySAP ERP have the option to activate online
document splitting.
Document splitting is designed to project assigment
object into the line item to which they are not
originally assigned.
Splitting helps you to create supplementary internal
Balance Sheet based on profit center or segments.
Its no longer necessary to execute adjustment for
Balance Sheet and Profit and Loss since all the
information is already available at document level.

Document Splitting - Advantajes
Extensibility and Flexibility. Allows you to create
supplementary Reporting in order to suit industry
specific and Enterprise specific requirements.
Increase Data Quality: document split eliminates
the need for additional check steps in alternative
lists and improves de data.
Accelerate Closing: the elimination of additional
periodic splitting program significantly speeds up
the closing process.
Document Splitting - Types
Passive split : during the clearing the account
assignment of the items to clear are inherited to
the clearing line items.
Active split: the systems splits documents due to
splitting rules
Clearing line / Zero balance formation by
document: the system creates new clearing lines
automatically to achieve a split. This process can
be control with a Zero balancing flag.

Integration - FI-CO Reconciliation
FI- CO Reconciliation takes place online.
Reconciliation ledger is no longer required to
be managed. Transaction KALC is no longer
required for periodic reconciliation.
User transaction FAGLCOFITRACEADMIN to
Activate / Deactivate the trace in the real time
FI CO integration.
Periodic Allocation
You can perform
allocations
(Distribution and
assessments ) in FI as
well as in CO.
Allocation of Profit
Centers (segment) can
be performed in FI.
Periodic Allocation
Both distribution and assessments can be applied
as a periodic allocation technique in the New
Ledger however Periodic Reposting is not used.
Statistical key figure presently cannot be used as a
Tracing Factor
Distribution generates a FI Document as an output
A separate assessment account needs to be
defined for New GL as a GL account which is not a
secondary cost element category 42.
Reporting
A new FI drill down reporting is available as alternative to the
conventional financial statements which is more flexible than
a ABAP Program.
Selection by standard characteristics such as Profit Center,
business area, functional area and segment as well as
company code and account number is now possible directly
in the entry screen
In the new drill down report it is very easy to turn a company
code wise financial statement into segment financial
statement or a profit center financial statement.
Apart from the drill down report for creating financial
statements transaction FG10 displays a list of defined
program variants which can be run instantly.
Reporting
After the activation of the new GL the read from
classical general ledger is not set.
If you want to update the tables for classical
general ledger, you can use the old reports
Any update to classical GL tables should be
deactivated after running and verifying the first end
of the period closing.
In the new RFBILA00 program you can now select
the ledger for which you want to run the analysis.
Data Migration
For New customers a Legacy data transfer is
used to transfer the data from legacy system to
the SAP system, with new GL.
For existing customers a migration transfers the
data from the conventional GL to the new GL.
The values are moved from the old
environment to the new one, and the document
splitting will be used in the new environment.

Data Migration - Principles

Date of migration is at the beginning of a fiscal
year (Current or future)
Year end closing of the Old fiscal year must be
completed prior to the migration and activation
of the New GL.
After successful data Migration, New GL will be
activated.
Data Migration - Principles

Year end closing of the Old fiscal year must be

Data Migration - Phases
Phase 0 Phase 1 Phase 2
Develop blue print for New GL. Complete year end closing for the
old fiscal year.
Program
RFAGL_UPLOAD_CARRY_FORWARD
is to be used to create opening
balance in the New GL from the
legacy data
Planning of migration Migrate customization data Program RGURECGLFLEX to be used
to copy the documents from the
current year
Customizing new General Ledger If document splitting to be used
Activate document splitting.
The documents that will be
transferred can be display in test
mode before the actual migration
Analyze business processes if
Document splitting to be used.
SAP recommends transferring the
current fiscal year data. Transfer
data for the Fiscal Year / Periods for
which you will be actively using the
New GL.
