International Financial Reporting Standards 
Impact on SAP
 

In order to execute the necessary adjustments, it will be necessary to extract and adapt the following SAP Modules: 

Finance:

alt FI – GL (General Ledger)
alt  FI- AA (Asset Accounting)
alt TRM (Treasury and Risk Management)                                                                                                

Controlling:

alt CO-PCA (Profit Center Accounting)

Logistics:

alt  MM (Materials Management)
alt SD (Sales and Distribution)

The SAP version and activated features that a company currently uses are relevant when estimating the time required and the complexity of the project.

The different scenarios are:
1.- Installation of the new 6.0 version with the New General Ledger (NGL) active from the beginning
2.- Installation of 5.0 or 6.0 with inactive NGL
3.- Installations prior to 5.0

Scenario

SAP Installations

Available solution

Remarks

1 Installation of the new 6.0 version with New General Ledger (NGL) active from the beginning
alt Use of NGL
The installation will resolve all IFRS requirements without the need of a migration
2 Installation of 5.0 or 6.0 with inactive NGL
alt Migration to NGL (New General Ledger)
alt Use of SL (Special Ledger)
alt Use of complementary accounts
If Segmentation is required because it is a company with activities in more than one segment, the migration project to NGL should be undertaken, since the other two solutions do not support the process
3 Installations prior to 5.0
alt Use of complementary accounts
alt Use of SL
alt Upgrade to version 6.0 and Migration to NGL
Same as scenario 2: If segmentation is required, a project to upgrade to the 6.0 version and migration to NGL should be undertaken.
