 Content of Scenario's, Benefits and examples 

Scenario-1: *        Merge of FI Ledger

                               Merging of classic GL Ledger, Consolidation preparation Ledger and Cost-of-sales ledger.

Benefits:               Reduced data redundancy,
                               Reduce efforts for period end closing, 
                               Harmonized Reporting.
Example:              Classic FI: customer used FI à NewGL: Once Ledger, No Document splitting Functionality,
                                No parallel Ledger. 

 Scenario-2:*        * Merge of FI, PCA and /or SL Ledger
                                 Scenario-1 and additional merging of profit center Accounting and Special Ledger

Benefits:               Replacement of special ledger with NewGL.
                                Enhancement Audit ability                               
                                 Better integrated Reporting

Example:               Classic FI: Customer used FI and EC-PCA/SL-Ledger   à  New GL :Customer wants to integrate EC-PCA /SL Ledger  into NewGL as parallel Ledger (More than one ledger) No use of Document splitting functionality.

  Scenario-3:*        * Scenario + 2 and Segment Reporting (Supported by Document splitting)

                                Document split allows balance sheet on additional dimensions such as profit center, Segment... 
Benefit:                  Flexible reporting on entities other company code.
Example:                Classic FI: customer used FI and EC-PCA/ or SL Ledger  à NewGL : Customer wants to integrate  EC-PCA/or SL Ledger into NewGL and use of Document Splitting  Functionality for Segments (only one Ledger), No parallel Ledger. 

 Scenario-4:*        * Scenario-2 + change to Ledger solution for parallel.

                                Switch from parallel accounting by parallel accounting to parallel Ledger. 
 Benefit:                 More Transparent chart of Accounts.
                                Reporting and Audit ability.

 Example:             Classic FI: customer used FI and EC-PCA/ or SL Ledger  à NewGL : Customer wants to integrate  EC-PCA/or SL Ledger into NewGL  as parallel ledger           (more than one Ledger) No use of Document Splitting Functionality. 

 Scenario-5:*        * Scenario-3 + change to Ledger Solution for parallel Accounting.                              

                                See the description 2, 3, 4 
Example:               Customer has parallel Ledger and use Document Splitting Functionality.

SAP General Ledger Migration for Subsequent Implementations of Further Functionality within NewGL:

You have already implemented new General Ledger Accounting and would now like to make
some significant changes subsequently. The following special migration scenarios enable you
to do this:

 Scenario-6:         Subsequent Implementation of Document Splitting
                                Activation of Document Splitting Functionality in New GL system. 

Benefit:                 Use Document splitting completely.
Example:               Customer can use the Document Splitting functionality in New GL Ledgers. 

 Scenario-7:         Subsequent Implementation of further Ledgers
                                Add the non-leading Ledgers in New GL system.

 You already use new General Ledger Accounting in your production system, and now you want to do the following:

·          Implement an additional accounting principle.

·          Portray an additional reporting view in a separate ledger.
·          Replace the account approach with the ledger approach.
·          Discontinue using a special purpose ledger that you do not use for parallel accounting
·          Assign an existing company code to an existing ledger
·          The subsequent implementation of a ledger always entails the assignment of a
·          company code to the ledger. Consequently, the decisive time for the
·          implementation of a ledger is not the time when the ledger is created but rather
·          the time when a company code is assigned to the ledger.
·          In each of the above cases, you need to add a non-leading ledger. The SAP General Ledger  Migration Service assists you in doing this.
·          To portray an additional accounting principle or an additional reporting view, you need to implement an additional ledger. For this, you use scenario 7 in the Migration Cockpit

Benefit:                  Creating the New Non-Leading Ledger
                                Create Leaders for GAP Analysis

Example:               Create a Ledger for GAP Analysis.

 Scenario-8:         Subsequent change from account solution to Ledger solution.
                                Switch to Non-Leading Ledger Solution from Account Solution. 

 Benefit:                 Create a Non-Leading Ledger for Account Solution.
