In this step, you define which rules the system should use in each company code when determining the default asset value date when posting asset transactions. You need this step only if you have special needs in regard to the asset value date, since there are standard rules in the system that meet most needs for setting the asset date.

The default asset value date is particularly important for transactions that are initiated in applications that are integrated with Asset Accounting (such as acquisition from goods receipt). In that type of transaction, the default asset value date is not displayed, and therefore cannot be changed manually when you post.

You specify the rules for determining the default asset value date in value date variants. You can assign one value date variant to each company code.

You enter two rules in the value date variant for each accounting transaction:

  • one primary rule
  • one alternative rule, in case the fiscal year determined on the basis of the primary rule is not the same as the fiscal year of the posting date.

In addition, you can define new rules in this step. You have to use the standard SAP enhancement AMAV0001 to set up the program logic for new rules for determining the default asset value date.

Standard settings

SAP supplies the value date variant SAP_DEFAULT. This variant contains rules for determining the asset value date for all Asset Accounting transactions.

The system uses the SAP_DEFAULT value date variant in all company codes to which you do not assign a specific value date variant.

Recommendation

Adopt the standard settings.

Activities

  1. Assign rules for automatically determining the asset value date to the Asset Accounting transactions.
  2. Define new rules if you need them:
    1. Choose Goto -> New rules.
    2. Enter the key and name of the new rule. Choose Back.
    3. Choose Goto -> Define customer enhancement.
    4. Enter a key for your project.
    5. Choose Project -> Create.
    6. Create a customer project using SAP enhancement AMAV0001.
      7. For more information, see the long text for SAP enhancement AMAV0001.
