Understanding the Rerun of a Conversion Program

You might need to rerun a conversion program during or after the base currency conversion for several reasons:

  • A conversion program fails when you run the Control Table Workbench (P98413).

    If this happens, make sure you review the conversion reports and correct the errors before you rerun the conversion program.

  • Data problems occur when you review the post-conversion integrity reports.

    Make sure you research and correct the data problems before you rerun the conversion program.

Before you rerun a conversion program, determine where you are in the conversion process and whether you have run the last ordered conversion program called Company Currency Codes Conversion (R890010E). This program changes the base currency code for companies in a plan to the new base currency in the F0010 table. If you ran the Company Currency Codes Conversion program, you need to change the new base currency back to the original base currency of the company before you rerun a conversion program.

Note: Rerun conversion programs, if necessary, and complete all remaining tasks in this guide in the test environment first, and then correct any data issues in both the test and production environments. Later, when you are satisfied with the results of the conversion in the test environment, complete all of the tasks again in the production environment and go live.
