Use

In this activity, you can activate the ALE distribution scenario FI-GL (New), Totals Document and Single Document Transfer in Distributed Systems.

You activate this scenario in the sender system only. Furthermore, you activate it for a specific company code.

You can use this distribution scenario to transfer FI documents individually as single documents or aggregated as totals documents. For the aggregated document transfer, the system aggregates all documents that do not need to be transferred individually. The relevant documents are summarized in one aggregated document (for as many documents as possible) and then the aggregated document is transferred. Transferring documents in aggregated form reduces the data volume considerably, thereby improving performance.

You use the Account Managed in External System indicator in the account master record to specify which documents are transferred as single documents and which documents are aggregated into totals documents. When this indicator is set, all documents that contain that account are transferred individually. Similarly, all documents containing taxes are transferred individually. Furthermore, you can specify additional criteria for the single document transfer.

With the single document transfer, document splitting information is also transferred to the receiver system.

The single document transfer is performed automatically at the time of posting. You have to start the transfer of aggregated documents from the menu.

This distribution scenario contains the following message types:

  • FAGLDT01 for single document transfer, and
  • FAGLST01 for aggregated document transfer

Requirements

To be able to use the distribution scenario, you need to have made the following settings:

  1. In the sender system, you have created an RFC connection between the sender and receiver systems.
  2. In the sender system, you have created the port for IDoc processing (in the SAP Easy Access screen under Tools -> ALE -> ALE Administration -> Runtime Settings -> Port Maintenance (transaction WE21)).
  3. In the sender and receiver systems, you have created a cross-system company code (in ALE Customizing under Set Up Cross-System Company Codes).
  4. You have defined the use of message types (FAGLDT01 for single document transfer and FAGLST01 for aggregated document transfer). For this, you have created a distribution model in ALE Customizing under Maintain Distribution Model and Distribute Views.

Standard settings

In the standard delivery, no company codes are marked as active.

Activities

Note:

  • You activate this scenario in the sender system only.
  • For cross-company code transactions, all company codes involved must be active, otherwise no transfer is made.

Proceed as follows:

  1. Enter the company codes for which you want to transfer the documents.
  2. Set the Active indicator for the desired company codes.
  3. Save your entries.

Other Activities:

Make the necessary Customizing settings for the distribution scenario under SAP NetWeaver -> Application Server -> IDoc Interface / Application Link Enabling (ALE) -> Modeling and Implementing Business Processes -> Configure Predefined ALE Business Processes -> Accounting -> AC <-> AC -> Set Up Distribution of Financial Accounting Data (New).
