Add data type for copying New GL data objects

If your organization is using the New General Ledger functionality, you might need to create a new data type to be able to copy the New GL data objects. To deploy these configuration changes into your own system, follow the steps below.

Note: this topic has been updated as of Dec 26, 2014 in regards to updates that have been deployed to our standard configuration.

The scope of this update is to remove tables FAGL_SPLINFO and FAGL_SPLINFO_VAL from data type FI - GL ITEMS (FAGLFLEX) and add them to their own data type (named FI - GL SPLIT OPEN ITEMS). Then add this new data type from FI - FINANCE DOCUMENTS.The purpose behind this change is to better optimize the data export process. The screen captures below now represent how our standard configuration has been updated.
