For the Functional Consultant, it usually means Data Migration, which means you have to ask "What data do we have to migrate from the legacy system to the new system?". For GL, it will be all of the account balances, for AP and AR it will be all of the open invoices (although some organisations will want to try to take closed invoices as well), for FA it will be all assets still in service. Note that the GL balances will already include all of the information already in the sub-ledger, e.g. for a Payables Invoice, the expense has already been charged on a Distribution Line, and the Liability has already been recorded too. If you feed this invoice into AP in the normal way, it will update the GL again, thus double-counting the expense and the liability.
What you might do is have one Payables Expense Migration Control Account and one Payables Liability Migration Control Account for data migration, then post to these on the migration invoices only. Then take the balance on the AP Control Account on the legacy system and debit the Payables Liability Migration Control Account and credit the Payables Expense Migration Control Account. If all of the invoices have been migrated properly, the two Payables Migration Control Accounts will now have a zero balance. Keep separate Migration Control Accounts for each sub-ledger.

Kumar,
how opening balances will be brought into application(GL):
In most of the cases client gives you a Trail Balance as on a cut off date.In GL enter a JV manually taking all the debit and credit balances.
how to find the a specific ledger/account balance as and when required:
Can use account inquiry form for the same.
Regards
Sujatha

The DataLoad Spreadsheets have been provided by other users of DataLoad, based on the version of the forms on their systems at the time they wrote them. Those users may not have the time to update the spreadsheets for every new release of the forms that are published. However, they should be close enough that you can take them and modify them yourself for the latest version and to meet your own accounting requirements.

Each organisation will have its own requirements for the Natural Account segment. Some will have 4 characters, some 5, some 6, some more, some less. Some will have to conform to a national standard (like the French PCG), some will have a list imposed by the group, some will have free choice. So nobody can provide what you ask. You will have to build your own.

This started out as a thread called "Migration", went through a phase of discussing DataLoad and now has become a discussion on MetaLink. Not a good idea. While there is a farily clear link between Migration and DataLoad, the connection to MetaLink is not so clear. In future, can you please start a new thread when changing topics?
Log on to MetaLink at https://metalink.oracle.com/ and, at the time of writing, under Headlines you will see an article entitled "New Customers Start Here - Information Now Available for Anyone New to MetaLink or Oracle Support", last updated 22-DEC-2006. Clicking on this will take you to Note 374370.1 which will tell you everything you need to know about MetaLink.
If you don't yet have a login to MetaLink ask your APPS DBA for your Oracle CSI (Customer Support Identifier) then go to the MetaLink URL above and register as a new user. It is pretty straightforward.
