Postings Excluded from Transfer

The following types of posting are not transferred as part of the initial load and ongoing replication:

• Postings to CO-FI reconciliation ledger (GL Reconciliation Postings)

NoteFor the initial load only you should note that, if you have enabled replication of CO postings,
postings to CO-FI reconciliation ledger (GL reconciliation postings) will be transferred via CO.
• Year-end closing postings where the reference transaction (AWTYP) is GLYEC

• Clearings are not transferred as part of the initial load but you can activate the transfer of clearings via
ongoing replication. For more information see Handling of Open Items.

• Clearing resets are not transferred as part of the initial load but you can activate the transfer of clearing
resets via ongoing replication. For more information see Handling of Open Items.

• Recurring entries

• Sample documents

• Noted items (apart from downpayment requests and payment requests)

• Parked documents

• Balance carryforward items

• Closing operations (These comprise processes and functions performed at the end of the fiscal year in
certain countries.)

NoteLong texts - on both header and item level - and attachments are not replicated during the creation of
documents or when those documents are changed.
