SIMG_CFMENUORK10KEZ - Convert Plan Line Items

The data you posted before the new Release initially remains in the old ledger (the old plan line item table GLPPC). Convert this historic data at a time when the system workload is low.

You must convert this data before you can use it for line item reports or any other purposes.

However, it is not strictly necessary to convert plan line items.

You convert the line items for one fiscal year and one version in one controlling area at a time. Enter the desired values.

If possible convert the line items in the background. To do this, execute the function Program → Execute in background.

The old line items from Release 2.2 in table GLPPC are not deleted after the conversion (in Release 3.0F and higher).

If you need additional memory space, you can delete all the historic data from 2.2 in table GLPPC after completing the conversion for all the desired controlling areas, versions and fiscal years using the ABAP/4 Database Utilities. After that, you should reorganize the tables to make the space freed up available again.

If the program terminates abnormally, you first need to delete the data that was converted successfully for the affected controlling area, plan version and fiscal year from table GLPCP. Otherwise you will receive error messages when the system tries to insert the data that has already been converted. This would not be detrimental to the conversion itself, but the large number of error messages would make analysis of the log difficult. To delete this data, use program RPCADEL3. You can select the data by controlling area, plan version and fiscal year. Next, find the cause of the abend and then restart the conversion with the same parameters.
