The migration service covers the technical migration of financials data. Make sure that you check your business
requirements regarding the implementation of the new general ledger and the migration against the product and
service descriptions provided by SAP well before the start of your migration project.
For more information, see our sites in SAP Service Marketplace, where you will also find a description of our
available migration scenarios, a migration guide and other useful information. To access these materials, use the

Fieldname
The customer is responsible for the blueprint and conception of the new G/L implementation including the
integration of other components, industries and country versions. He has to make sure - in cooperation with his
consultants - that the implementation works from a conceptual and functional point of view and is supported by
SAP. This verification is not part of the SAP General Ledger Migration service.
If any one of the components i.e. PSM, FI-CA, CFM, CML or FI-SL is active in the system, it’s recommended to go
through SAP Note 1558185 (Special features during migration to new general ledger).
Which (standard) account assignment objects (characteristics) do you intent to use for Yes No
document splitting in New G/L to be able to create a balance sheet?
Standard objects (see chapter 5.5)
Fund
Grant
Functional Area (available with ERP 6.0 EHP4)
Fund + Budget Period (available with ERP 6.0 EHP4)
Please note: Even if you do not intent to create a balance sheet for specific Funds Management account
assignments, it can be necessary to activate these account assignments and additional technical fields as
document splitting characteristics. Reasons are for example the use of the Online Payment Update and the Profit
and loss adjustment / Tax Update in Funds Management (see SAP Note 1227207).
Scenario 7: "Subsequent implementation of a further ledger " (see questionnaire for subsequent
implementation of further functionality in: www.service.sap.com/glmig)
Scenario 8: "Subsequent change from “account approach” to ledger solution for parallel accounting "
(see questionnaire for subsequent implementation of further functionality in: www.service.sap.com/glmig)
=> Any scenario that differs from the standard scenarios above is to be covered in individual projects based on the
scenario that most closely matches that of the customer. In such a case additional consulting will most likely be
required.
