In this step, you specify the depreciation areas that post their APC transactions and/or depreciation to the general ledger.

The system can post the APC transactions of one depreciation area to the general ledger online automatically. Usually this is the book depreciation area 01. You can post transactions from other depreciation areas to the general ledger automatically using periodic processing. (The exception to this rule are the depreciation areas for investment support shown on the liabilities side, which can also post online.) You always have to use periodic processing to post depreciation to the general ledger.

Standard settings

The standard depreciation areas in the SAP reference chart of depreciation are set up so that book depreciation area 01 posts APC transactions automatically to the general ledger online. It posts depreciation automatically to the general ledger (using batch). The definitions of other depreciation areas depend on your country-specific chart of depreciation.

Recommendation

It is usually sufficient to have automatic posting of APC transactions and depreciation from the book depreciation area. There could be other circumstances under which you might need automatic posting to the general ledger from other depreciation areas:

  • You might need to post cost-accounting interest (that differs from book depreciation) to certain expense accounts or cost elements.
  • You might have special requirements for the balance sheet, such as showing special reserves.
  • You might have special requirements for legal consolidation of your corporate group.

Activities

Specify how (if) your depreciation areas should post to the general ledger:

  • no values
  • APC transactions online and depreciation in periodic processing
  • APC transactions in periodic processing and depreciation in periodic processing
  • only depreciation in periodic processing
