Summary :
This SAP Note details the restrictions and audits associated with making Customizing changes in the new General Ledger, specifically addressing document splitting. Users are warned against such changes post-implementation due to potential impacts on previously posted documents and system integrity. Customizing changes are prohibited including the deletion or posting of documents, adjustments to ledger definitions, and scenario assignments post-live implementation, all of which might affect financial statements' accuracy. Compliance with auditing standards and the involvement of auditors in cases of exceptional changes are emphasized. Before activating document splitting, a complete and correct Customizing setup is mandated. The note also cautions about the migration complexities and the required pre-planning for later Customizing adaptations.
