GL Historical Average Balances Migration
Background : The Client is a major bank in the Philipppines implementing R12.2.5 FAH and GL. They have Mainframe applications currently running and have a legacy GL system (FMS).
Requirement : The bank wants to migrate Average Balances (Last day of the month) into the EBS GL System for the past 2 years. They currently have only these monthly ADB's in their system. They do not have summarized transaction level detail for Each month. A total of around 662,000 combinations have to be migrated.
Solution : As I understand we will need to use the GL_DAILY_BALANCES table to store Period Aggregates. This can be computed (ADB * No of days in the month). However, loading the GL_Interface, running the GL Import and the posting programs for each of the 24 months takes a lot of time. The client is proposing that they directly write into our Daily Balances tables. This is a very risky approach as we will have to generate CCID's through an insert script to be able to input data into the DAILY_BALANCES table.
