Note
This IMG activity is obsolete. Here you can only change or delete Customizing entries. Instead of using this activity, you can now use the Define Depreciation Areas IMG activity for entering the parameters needed for parallel posting. SAP recommends that you check the settings here in this activity and copy them manually to the Define Depreciation Areas activity. At actual runtime, the system performs enough checks on how much the old and new settings might overlap.
Use
Parallel valuation is represented in Asset Accounting using different depreciation areas. In certain cases, you want this parallel valuation to be visible not only on the fixed asset, but also on accounts in Financial Accounting, or, by using different accounting principles, in a special ledger. If this is the case, you can use this IMG activity to specify in Asset Accounting which depreciation areas post to which Financial Accounting accounts, as well as the accounting principle on which posting of the values of the area is to be based.
Periodic posting normally takes place in the company code of the asset master record. The majority of asset transactions are grouped together and posted as totals according to the account assignment objects in Financial Accounting.
In this IMG activity, you can make settings that differ from the norm stated above. You can specify that postings to Financial Accounting are made to a company code that differs from the company code of the fixed asset. Or you can specify that values are updated to a special ledger rather than to the general ledger. For the second of these two, you have to enter an accounting principle, which is in turn assigned to the special ledger. In addition, you can have the system post asset transactions singly, by changing areas that normally post periodically to direct posting.
Recommendation
If you want to post to an alternative company code, do not choose a real company code. Instead you should set up a company code for the technical purposes of representing differences due to different valuations, such as the difference between US GAAP and the German commercial code.
Posting of single documents per depreciation area is not recommended, if you already have a large number of asset documents due to the size of your fixed asset holdings. If you specify in this IMG activity that posting of single documents should be used, you have to expect a greatly increased volume of documents in Financial Accounting. When you choose Post direct, the system generates a document in Financial Accounting or in the special ledger for each APC transaction and each depreciation area that is posted directly for each asset master record.
To set up posting of single documents ('direct posting') of a depreciation area that posts periodically, proceed as follows:
- In this IMG activity (possibly in the 'Maintain Enhanced Posting Rules' sub-activity), maintain all parameters as best suits your needs, but do not set the 'PostDirect' indicator.
- Start the periodic posting run RAPERB2000 (transaction ASKBN) in test mode for a few posted assets. During the test run, the system performs all checks that it carries out in an update run or for direct posting. Examine the log and correct any errors that occurred.
- Once the test run is completed successfully, set the 'PostDirect' indicator for the depreciation area. Perform some test postings. If any errors occur now, these are logged in the application log. To access these entries, use transaction ARAL with the selection critera: Object = FIAA and Subobject = 006. In RAPERB2000, you can check at any time which line items were posted successfully in direct mode.
Note
- When you use an accounting principle, then reconciliation between asset accounting and the general ledger is only possible on a limited basis.
- By setting the Treat Derived Depreciation Area As Real Area indicator, you can have the system post real APC differences in this depreciation area. Keep in mind that if you choose this option, then you have to maintain asset APC accounts for the asset instead of the special reserves accounts.
- The alternative depreciation area is used for determining the accounts that are used when posting values to an alternative company code. Usually this will be depreciation area 01, if you copied the account account set of the original company code to the alternative company code. Note that you you have to reset the reconciliation account indicator of all accounts in the target company code.
