RE: General Ledger Loading

Why not set up the initial and all subsequent "test" conversions to load to
a test environment and not worry about the SYSCTL file.

When you have fully checked out and are comfortable with all your conversion
procedures have the final conversion load the live environment.

Subject: General Ledger Loading

I am doing some work for a client that is converting from PRMS to MAPICS.
We
are currently working on converting the General Ledger application.  I plan
on
using the General Ledger Master offline file load through Cross Apps to load
GELMAS with the basic account information for the type 1 record as well as
the
debit and credit amounts for each period that have been closed.  We will
also
load the budget and last year information with this process.  However, they
want to do the conversion multiple times, once to check out the conversion
and
to be able to "play" in MAPICS and once when they are ready to go live.  I
envision a problem doing this since MAPICS keeps up with status
(closed/trans
in TEMGEN, etc.) of each period in the SYSCTL file.  Years ago, I knew how
to
"massage" the period fields but it has been a while.  Does anyone have any
experience with the SYSCTL fields and, if so, would you share it?

Thanks,
