Checking the Conversion Results

When you have run Ledger Conversion you must check the results to ensure the target business unit transactions have been created correctly.

The following steps are recommended:

Ensure the text 'Process Successfully Completed' appears at the bottom of both of the Ledger Conversion reports for each data file processed.
Run a dummy Ledger Cleardown (LCL) to update the account balances and asset balances.
Run a Trial Balance (TBL) on both the source and target business units to check the completeness and accuracy of the conversion process.
Delete and recreate the Balance file using Ledger Balances Update (LBU).

Note: If you use Ledger Conversion to generate a new currency value for a business unit, for example to introduce a second base currency, and have transferred your profit or loss to retained earnings manually in a journal, the trial balance for the new year may not balance in the newly generated currency. This is the result of currency exchange rate differences and is explained in detail in Reconciling a Trial Balance Ledger Total in a Generated Base Currency.
