Summary :
When planning or executing a new G/L migration, it's crucial to maintain security by continuing to update the GLT0 table along with new G/L tables during the transition. While migrating to new general ledger (G/L) accounting, transaction FAGL_ACTIVATION will simultaneously keep classic G/L totals records updated. It is critical to note that the READ_GLT0 parameter should not be activated in live systems with new G/L accounting to avoid incorrect account assignments and inconsistencies from valuation reports drawing data from GLT0. Additionally, appropriate settings for the user parameter FAGL_READ_GLT0_USER are advised, with strict limitations on manual postings and reporting. SAP's Note 1155999 introduces the CLASSIC_BAL_FS10N parameter for evaluating GLT0 balances through FS10N, requiring the WRITE_GLT0 indicator to be active. Post-migration, it is recommended to deactivate the GLT0 updates at fiscal year-end to prevent data variances and follow specific IMG paths to ensure the deactivation.
