The purpose of this document is to outline the conversion approach for migrating Trial Balance – Prior Year (TB PY) data into SAP S/4HANA.
This dataset represents the opening balances for FY2026 (for Group 1 company codes) and FY2027 (for Group 2 company codes).
The legacy trial balance data includes document currency, local currency, and group currency amounts. All currencies will be migrated accordingly, unless there are design changes affecting local or group currency configurations.
Exchange rates will be applied based on historical posting rates for each period end.
This document outlines the approach for converting Trial Balance – Current Year (TB CY) data from legacy source systems into SAP S/4HANA, in alignment with the target design and migration strategy.
As per the current implementation plan, there will be two separate go-live waves:
Group 1: Go-live on 1st July 2028
TB migration scope: 1.5 years of balances, starting from the Opening Balance as at January 2027
Group 2: Go-live on 1st January 2029
TB migration scope: 1 years of balances, starting from the Opening Balance as at January 2028
The January Trial Balance represents the opening balance of the respective fiscal year and will be migrated as the prior year closing balance.
Following migration, the carry-forward of balances into the next fiscal period will be performed by the business.
Accordingly, the migration posting dates for opening balances will be as follows:
For January 2027, posting date: 31st December 2026
For January 2028, posting date: 31st December 2027
| Source | Scope | Source Approx No. of Records | Target System | Target Approx No. of Records |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PF2 | TB PY | S4HANA | ||
| WP2 | TB PY | S4HANA |
The Balance Sheet migration approach will vary depending on the type of General Ledger (GL) Account, as outlined below:
Non–Open Item Managed Balance Sheet Accounts
Open Item Managed Balance Sheet Accounts
Reconciliation (Control) Accounts, including Inventory Accounts
The migration of Balance Sheet account balances will be executed in two stages:
Opening Balances
Opening balances will be migrated to establish the financial position at the start of the target fiscal year.
For Group 1 company codes, the migration will be based on balances as at 31st December 2026, and for Group 2 company codes, as at 31st December 2027, in line with the current go-live schedule.
Year-to-Date (YTD) Periodic Movements
Monthly balance movements will be migrated progressively up to the following cut-off periods:
Group 1 company codes: up to 31st December 2026
Group 2 company codes: up to 30th June 2026
This approach ensures that all interim financial movements are accurately reflected in the target system up to the designated migration period for each group
For each period in scope, TB data will be migrated as life-to-date balances with the posting date set to the last day of the respective period.
These entries will be reversed using mass reversal (T-code F.80) on the first day of the subsequent period.
This approach ensures that open item managed lines are automatically reversed and cleared for all periods up to (but not including) the go-live period.
Approach of Migration of Balances of Sub-Ledger or Reconciliation Accounts:
Note: GR/IR Open Item Account Balance Migration is not in scope of TB Migration and an approach is yet to be confirmed.

In the SAP ECC system, parallel accounting was implemented using the account-based approach. But, In the SAP S/4HANA target system, parallel accounting is instead managed through the ledger-based approach using multiple ledgers.
The account-based approach was implemented differently across the source systems, specifically in PF2 and WP2.
In the case of PF2, parallel accounting was handled by performing reversal postings to designated contra accounts, followed by repostings to the corresponding local (main) accounts. This approach allowed the system to maintain multiple accounting perspectives on the same transactions while ensuring that the balances in local accounts accurately reflected the intended financial position.
e.g

In SAP S/4HANA, parallel accounting is implemented using a ledger-based approach. In this approach, each accounting principle is assigned to a dedicated ledger, establishing a 1:1 relationship between ledgers and accounting principles.
TB migration strategy involves converting the existing classic G/L (based on the account approach) to the new G/L.
For the example provided, the migration will be executed into the Local GAAP and IFRS ledgers, in accordance with the sample data presented in the ECC system illustration.

In the case of WP2, parallel accounting was handled by performing Delta postings to the corresponding local (main) accounts. This approach allowed the system to maintain multiple accounting perspectives on the same transactions while ensuring that the balances in local accounts accurately reflected the intended financial position.

Accordingly, the accounts illustrated above must be migrated using ledger-specific postings (e.g., FB01L instead of FB01).
For the transfer of open items and balance carryforward, the following rules apply:
Open Items:
Open items can only be managed in common accounts, as their transfer affects all ledgers and is not specific to individual ledgers.
Balance Carryforward:
Balances must be transferred per ledger as follows:
Common accounts: carried forward to all ledgers
Valuation-specific (parallel) accounts: carried forward to their respective ledgers
A list of accounts must be identified for which IFRS balances will be posted directly to the IFRS ledger, using ledger-specific posting (similar to transaction FB01L).
With Functional input, document the technical design of the target fields that are in the scope of this document.

Transformation Rules
The extraction of General Ledger (GL) balance data from the source system will be performed using one of the following approaches:
Option 1 – Ledger-Based Extraction:
Periodic balances of General Ledger (GL) accounts will be extracted directly from the GLPCT and GLT0 tables. This approach is recommended when the ledger tables provide a complete and reconciled view of financial balances as of the cut-over date.
In the legacy systems (ECC – PF2, WP2, and PI2), document splitting and profit centre balancing functionalities are not enabled. As a result, only Profit and Loss (P&L) account balances are available at the profit centre level within the ledger tables.
Accordingly:
Balance Sheet account balances will be extracted from GLT0, as these balances are not maintained in GLPCT.
P&L account balances will be extracted from GLPCT, where profit centre-level balances are available.
The combined dataset from GLPCT and GLT0 will provide a complete representation of all account balances required for migration.
It should be noted that records extracted from GLPCT contain profit centre information, whereas records from GLT0 do not. Consequently, a significant number of account lines will not include profit centre details. These lines will need to be managed either by assigning default profit centres or by allocating balances based on subledger-level data to ensure accurate profit centre reporting in the target system.
Option 2 – Transaction-Based Extraction:
All transactional line items will be extracted from the BSEG table and subsequently aggregated at the relevant key field level — Company Code, GL Account, Posting Period, Fiscal Year, Profit Centre, Cost Centre, and Transaction Currency — to derive the General Ledger (GL) balances.
This approach is suitable in scenarios where a detailed reconstruction of balances is required, or where ledger tables are not fully aligned with the underlying transactional data.
Additionally, this method enables the generation of Trial Balances that include both the key financial attributes (such as Company Code, GL Account, Period, Fiscal Year, Profit Centre, Cost Centre, Transaction Currency) and extended analytical dimensions (such as Transaction Type, XREF1, XREF2, etc.), thereby providing enhanced traceability and reconciliation capability.
Recommended Approach for S/4HANA Migration:
For migration to S/4HANA, the ledger-based extraction approach (Option 1) is recommended. This method ensures alignment with the source system’s reconciled balances, simplifies reconciliation during cut-over, and provides a structured foundation for subsequent profit centre enrichment where required. The transaction-based extraction (Option 2) may only be considered in exceptional cases where ledger balances are incomplete or reconciliation discrepancies are identified and balances are needed at the additional attribute level like transaction type.
Note: for Each GL open line in scope of migration, an offset line to be created with the same GL Account.
In Migration cockpit, offset account number field is set in the same line and therefore, it will create offset line on its own. So, transformed data will be one line for each legacy in-scope line but will be automatically created with an offset line.
Posting Date ( which is generally the cut-over date ) is not part of the template, as posting date will be maintained by the Syensqo data team in the view FINSV_MIG_CTRL_1. This posting date will be used across all the financial transactions migrations ( exception is Trial Balance ).

Currency Adjustment During Migration (TCURX Consideration)
In SAP, the TCURX table defines the number of decimal places used for each currency.
This impacts how amounts are stored internally in database tables versus how they are displayed externally in user interfaces or reports.
Currencies such as JPY (Japanese Yen), KRW (Korean Won), or VND (Vietnamese Dong) are typically configured with no decimal places (TCURX-CURRDEC = 0).
Understanding and correctly applying the TCURX rules is essential during data migration to ensure financial consistency between ECC and S/4HANA.
| External Amount | The amount value as displayed to users in SAP screens and reports. | 96015 JPY | |
| Internal Amount | The amount value stored in database tables for computation. | 960.15 | Multiplied by factor = 10² if target has 2 decimals |
During data migration, these internal (technical) amounts must be converted to external amounts to ensure accuracy and consistency in the target S/4HANA system.
Conversion Formula:
External Amount = Internal Amount * 10 to the power ( 2 - Number of decimal for the currency in TCURX table )
How to derive profit centres for various GL balance components:
Note: A default Profit Center will be maintained for each company code in ADMM and will be applied in cases where Profit Center derivation is not possible due to unavailable data.
