Definition

In the mapping maintenance view on chart of accounts level, you can specify (by ticking the Country-indicator) that the previously operative chart of accounts is to be used as the country-specific chart of accounts in one or several of the participating company codes after the conversion. For these company codes the ALTKT flag must be set. If you do so, the settings and transaction data of the old operative chart of accounts will be transferred to the respective fields for the country-specific chart of accounts during the conversion.

Alternatively, you can set this indicator (ALTKT - alternative account) at company-code level only. This defines that the previous account is transferred only in the master data in the country-specific chart of accounts (table SKB1). However please note that as a result any existing content in the SKB1-ALTKT fields will be overwritten. If any data would actually be overwritten in this way, a warning message will be issued.

Please note also that when merging several old accounts into one target account you can store only the data from one of the original accounts in the fields for the country-specific chart of accounts after the conversion. If the prio indicator is set for the merge, it will normally be the data of the priority account that will be retained; if the indicator is not set, it is not clear which account data will be retained.
