1 Introduction to Subsequent Implementation of Further
Functionality within New General Ledger
NOTE: This questionnaire is only valid if you want to order the SAP General Ledger Migration service for scenario
6, 7 and 8. This means if new G/L is already active and subsequent changes of new G/L are required like the
implementation of document splitting or further ledger(s) as well as the switch from account to ledger solution.
For all other scenarios (to migrate from classic to new G/L) please use the questionnaire for scenario 1-5.
The subsequent implementation of document splitting or further ledger(s) as well as the switch from account to
ledger solution is a project that should not be underestimated; and the technical migration of data is a central part
of such a project.
Similar to the migration to the new general ledger itself also the Subsequent implementation of further functionality
within new general ledger could mean a significant change to the live database, which must be safeguarded to
ensure that historical data is kept intact. For this reason, SAP will accompany your migration with a service to
address the technical aspects of such a project and help guide you safely through the migration process. The SAP
General Ledger Migration service is offered in the form of a scenario-based general ledger migration cockpit and
two manual checks to assure the quality of the migration project and migrated data.
The migration service covers the technical migration of financial data. Make sure that you check your business
requirements regarding the subsequent implementation of further functionality within 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 SAP Notes 891144, 1227504 and our sites in SAP Service Marketplace, where you will
also find a description of all scenarios, a migration guide and other useful information. To access these materials,
use the following link:
http://service.sap.com/GLMIG
In addition, the following trainings are available:
AC210 The new General Ledger
AC212 Migration to the new General Ledger
NOTE: This questionnaire contains macros to ensure that all questions are answered. You will get a warning
message when you try to save the questionnaire without having answered all questions. The general ledger
migration back office will not be able to evaluate the questionnaire and prepare the contract while some questions
are still open. This check might take some time.
Please make sure that you have answered all questions before sending the questionnaire to the general ledger
migration back office (mailto:NewGLMigration@sap.com).

5 Solution Portfolios for Industries and SAP Applications
In order to check the compatibility of new G/L with your demands, applications, and Industry Solutions, see
www.service.sap.com/gl. In the media library for general ledger you will find the document "Industry Solutions and
new General Ledger".
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).

6 Scenarios for Subsequent Implementation of Further
Functionality within New General Ledger supported by SAP
General Ledger Migration
Scenario
Yes
No
6 - Subsequent implementation of document splitting
7 - Subsequent implementation of a further ledger
8 - Switch from account to ledger solution
The SAP General Ledger Migration service offers eight migration scenarios, which are divided into

Migration from classic to new G/L:
Scenario 1 - 5 are available for a migration from classic to new G/L. For these scenarios you can find the
questionnaire for scenario 1- 5 on http://service.sap.com/GLMIG.

Subsequent Implementation of further functionality within new G/L
The following scenarios are offered for a subsequent change of new G/L:
Scenario 6 "Subsequent implementation of document splitting" (this questionnaire)
Scenario 7 "Subsequent implementation of a further ledger" (this questionnaire)
Scenario 8 "Switch from account to ledger solution" (this questionnaire)
Any scenarios that differ from the standard scenarios above are covered in individual projects based on the
scenario that most closely matches that of the customer. This means, the required type of migration cannot be
mapped completely with any of the available standard scenarios. Therefore these scenarios could be executed as
customer-specific projects based on one of the standard scenarios. Whether or not this is possible, or whether
other alternatives exist, has to be checked.
