Use

In this activity, you activate segment reporting for Asset Accounting.

In this way, you achieve the following:

  • The Profit Center and Segment fields are included in the asset master record.

    Initially, these fields are empty (and consequently inconsistent). In the activity Fill Master Data for Segment Reporting, you fill the asset master data with the relevant values (see Other Activities below).

  • In Customizing for Asset Accounting under Integration with General Ledger Accounting -> Additional Account Assignment Objects -> Activate Account Assignment Objects, the system automatically sets the following indicators for profit center and segment:
    • Activation of Account Assignment Object
    • Acct Assignment Object Same in Asset Master and Posting
  • In Customizing for Asset Accounting under Integration with General Ledger Accounting -> Additional Account Assignment Objects -> Specify Account Assignment Types for Account Assignment Objects, you enter the account assignment types for the account assignment objects Profit Center and Segment.
  • In Customizing for Asset Accounting under Preparing for Production Startup -> Authorization Management -> Process Asset Views, the system automatically enters the standard authorizations for the master record fields Profit Center and Segment.
  • When the asset master data is being posted and maintained, the system checks whether the asset master records have been maintained consistently. It must be possible to derive the profit center and the segment uniquely from the CO account assignments and from the asset master records.

    Exception: If investment measures are concerned, the profit center can be derived from the investment measure specified in the asset master record in the origin data. In such cases, the derived profit center of the cost objects stored in the asset master record does not have to match the profit center from the investment measure in the origin data. In the system, you may have to convert the relevant error messages into warning messages.

    Caution: In Customizing for Asset Accounting in the activity Activate Account Assignment Objects, you must have set the Acct Assignment Object Same in Asset Master and Posting indicator. By doing this, you ensure the consistency of the asset master record with regard to the profit center. As long as an asset master record is not consistent, it is not possible to post to the asset.

  • You can perform reporting at the profit center and segment levels. In General Ledger Accounting, you can create an aggregated report on changes in tangible assets at the profit center and segment levels.

Caution:
Once you have activated segment reporting for Asset Accounting, you cannot deactivate it.

Note:
Before you can use the Reorganization of Fixed Assets, you need to have activated segment reporting for Asset Accounting. Furthermore, you need to have performed the activities listed under Other Activities below.

Requirements

Before you can activate segment reporting for Asset Accounting, the following prerequisites need to be fulfilled:

  • You use new General Ledger Accounting (FI-GL (New)) and Asset Accounting (FI-AA) in your production system.
  • In the Financial Accounting Global Settings (New) under Assign Scenarios and Customer Fields to Ledgers, you have assigned the following scenarios to the relevant ledger:
    • Profit Center Update,
    • Segment Reporting, and
    • Segment Reporting for Fixed Assets or alternatively Preparations for Consolidation (if already set up).
      • You have to use one of these two scenarios because you need the consolidation transaction type for segment reporting.

Standard settings

Activities

Set the indicator for activating segment reporting and save your entry.

Other Activities:

Before you can actually use segment reporting, you need to perform the following additional activities:

  1. Activate the account assignment objects Profit Center and Segment in Customizing for Asset Accounting under Activate Account Assignment Objects.
  2. If you already use Asset Accounting in your production system, fill the existing asset master data in Customizing for Asset Accounting under Fill Master Data for Segment Reporting.

    You can combine this activity with individual or mass changes to master data.

  3. Maintain the Profit Center and Segment fields in the screen layout rules of the asset master records in Customizing for Asset Accounting under Define Screen Layout for Asset Master Data (Logical Field Groups -> Time-Dependent Data).
  4. Maintain the Profit Center and Segment fields in the screen layout rules of the posting keys and G/L accounts that are relevant for Asset Accounting (in Customizing for Asset Accounting under Change the Field Status Variant of the Asset G/L Accounts).
  5. If you want to use the aggregated report on changes in tangible fixed assets in new General Ledger Accounting, you need to do the following:
    1. Assign the consolidation transaction types to the asset transaction types in Customizing for Asset Accounting under Specify Consolidation Transaction Types for APC Transactions.
    2. If you have previously not ever updated the Consolidation Transaction Type field (RMVCT), go to Customizing for Asset Accounting and perform the activity Fill Consolidation Transaction Type for Segment Reports in GL Accounting.
    3. For the Consolidation Transaction Type field, check the screen layout rules of the posting keys and G/L accounts that are relevant for Asset Accounting. You do this in Customizing for Asset Accounting under Change the Field Status Variant of the Asset G/L Accounts.
    4. In the aggregated report on changes in tangible asserts, adjust the column and row structure. The relevant transaction types are assigned in the columns and the accounts are assigned in the rows. Where applicable, use the sets contained in the standard delivery:
      5. - FAGL_CONS_TRANSACTION for the columns
      - FAGL_ASSET_HISTORY_SHEET for the rows
      To define sets, you can use the activity Define Sets in Customizing for General Ledger Accounting (New).
