Summary
This guide will cover the process of importing a SAP S4/HANA Cloud General Ledger into MindBridge.
Configuration details
Note that the General Ledger column mapping section of this guide is based on data exported using our SAP S4/HANA Cloud: Export the general ledger.
Import Data
- Import your General Ledger file into MindBridge, either through the File Manager, or by importing directly to the General Ledger section on the Data page.
- Follow the steps in the ingestion wizard until you reach the section titled Column Mapping General Ledger. If you followed the export guide then all the columns that can be mapped within MindBridge will be included in your general ledger. Below is a table which shows the MindBridge columns and their corresponding SAP S4/HANA Cloud columns.
| MindBridge Column | SAP S4/HANA Cloud Field | Fields Used in MindBridge | Used in Analytics* | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Account ID | G/L Account | Required | Yes | |
| Effective Date | Posting Date | Required | Yes | Appears in format MM/DD/YYYY |
| Amount | Amount in Company Currency | Required | Yes | |
| Transaction ID | Journal Entry | Recommended** | Yes | Please refer to our Transaction ID guide if one is not readily available. Also see note ** below this table. |
| Memo | Journal Entry Item Text | Recommended | Yes | This will enable the Empty Text control point and allow you to see the memo field for each transaction/entry |
| Account Description | G/L Account Long Name | Optional | No | Can be left out as this field will be picked up from the Chart of Accounts |
| Type | Journal Entry Type | Optional | Yes | |
| User ID | Journal Entry Created By | Optional | No | Use to sort and filter results for reports |
| Entered Date | Journal Entry Date | Optional | Yes | Appears in format M/D/YYYY H:M am/pm |
* Optional columns, even if not used in the analytics, can be included for filtering and other visualizations, as indicated under Notes.
** Transaction ID is required but does not necessarily need to be in one single column. In the Review Data step of the ingestion process, MindBridge will recommend a transaction ID based on your data, or you can choose and/or combine different columns to create one.
