In this step, you specify the control parameters for the transfer of legacy data from your previous system:

  • Date, which will be the value date for the legacy data transferred to the SAP Asset Accounting component (transfer date).

    This date also determines the last closed fiscal year for Asset Accounting.

    Example:

    Transfer date = 12/31/YYYY
    => last closed fiscal year = YYYY
    Transfer date = 06/30/YYYY
    => last closed fiscal year = YYYY

  • Period up to which depreciation has already been posted to the general ledger in your previous system

    You only need this entry when you transfer data during the course of the fiscal year (rather than at the end).

  • If your legacy system contains only net book values, rather than depreciation values and historical APC, you can transfer net book values.
  • Depreciation areas, for which the system should recalculate accumulated past depreciation
  • Depreciation areas, for which the system should determine a new base insurable value.

Standard settings

You have to make the date specifications yourself. The other transfer parameters are already set up in the standard depreciation areas.

Activities

  1. Enter the transfer date
    • which should determine the status of the legacy data the system transfers from your previous system and
    • which should determine the value date of the data in the SAP System
  2. If you chose a transfer date within the fiscal year (not at the end), enter the period up to which depreciation was already posted.
  3. Check the standard settings for the other transfer parameters.
