Use

To be able to use new Asset Accounting, you have to follow these steps:

No.    Step    Explanation

1.    Check the prerequisites for business function FIN_AA_PARALLEL_VAL.    See the section "Requirements" below.

2.    Activate the business function for new Asset Accounting (FIN_AA_PARALLEL_VAL).    Customizing activity Activate Business Functions

3.    Start Customizing for new Asset Accounting.     Current activity; see the section "Activities" below.

4.    Make the Customizing settings for new Asset Accounting    Various Customizing activities under Asset Accounting (New); see also the section "Activities" below

5.    Check the prerequisites for activating new Asset Accounting.    Customizing activity Check Prerequisites for Activating Asset Accounting (New)

6.    Activate the Customizing switch    Customizing activity Activate New Asset Accounting

7.    In the production system:

    a) Lock the production system against postings and

    b) Check the prerequisites for activating new Asset Accounting    Customizing activity Check Prerequisites for Activating Asset Accounting (New)

8.    Import the new Customizing settings into your production system.

9.    Check in the production system whether the transport successfully imported the activated Customizing switch

10.    Unlock the production system for postings

When you activate the business function, the system shows the new IMG structure Asset Accounting (New) in the SAP Reference IMG, which also contains this activity.
You use this activity to perform steps 3 and 4 (highlighted in bold in the sequence above): You start Customizing in this client for new Asset Accounting and make your Customizing settings for new Asset Accounting.

The activation of the business function FIN_AA_PARALLEL_VAL applies for your entire system. However, you prepare and activate the Customizing switch for new Asset Accounting for each client separately. As a result, it is possible for you to use new Asset Accounting for the ledger approach in one client, while you can use classic Asset Accounting for the account approach in another client.

Immediately after step 2 (activation of the business function), it is still possible to post using the previous logic of Asset Accounting. However, as soon as you start Customizing in step 3, posting in Asset Accounting is not possible at all - using neither the old logic nor the new logic. You cannot post using the new logic until you activate new Asset Accounting in step 6.

Caution:
The Customizing switch that you use to start Customizing for new Asset Accounting in this activity (FAA_PARALLEL_VALUATION), is not reversible.

Requirements

Prerequisites for the Business Function

For you to be able to use new Asset Accounting, the following criteria must be met:

  • You have set up and activated the application component General Ledger Accounting (FI-GL) (New).
    • To handle parallel accounting principles, use the ledger approach.
  • You have activated the Financials Extension (EA-FIN) business function.
  • You have configured the classic Asset Accounting (FI-AA) application component.
    • From the Financials Extension (EA-FIN), you use the new depreciation calculation with the depreciation calculation program (DCP).

      Or: If you have not previously used classic Asset Accounting, you need to make all of the necessary Customizing settings for new Asset Accounting.

  • You need to activate the business function FI-AA, Parallel Valuation (FIN_AA_PARALLEL_VAL) for new Asset Accounting.

Prerequisites for Asset Accounting (FI-AA) (new)

If you want to use new Asset Accounting, you are not allowed to use any of the following components:

  • Joint Venture Accounting (JVA)

    You cannot activate new Asset Accounting in company codes in which JVA is active, and the reverse is also true.

    (The business function JVA, Integration with New General Ledger Accounting (JVA_GL_INTEGRATION)) is also not compatible with new Asset Accounting.)

  • From the Financials Extension (EA-FIN):

    Lease Accounting Engine (LAE)

    The LAE controls postings for the lessor scenario; this scenario consists of the components CRM Leasing (CRM-LAM) and Leasing Accounting (FI-LA).

  • Real Estate (RE), that is, classic Real Estate Management
  • From Funds Management (PSM-FM) or Industry-Specific Component Public Sector (IS-PS):

    Requests with Reference to Asset

If you are already using classic Asset Accounting, the following additional prerequisites also apply:

  • Make sure that the periodic asset postings (with program RAPERB2000) are completed.
  • Also ensure that there are no update terminations from direct postings in the system.

The parallel currencies in the leading ledger in General Ledger Accounting and in the depreciation areas in Asset Accounting must be congruent. If you have previously been using parallel currencies in General Ledger Accounting but you have not implemented the corresponding parallel currency areas in Asset Accounting for all depreciation areas, you must first implement these depreciation areas before you can activate new Asset Accounting. Contact your system specialist.

Relationship to Other Business Functions

New Asset Accounting has the following relationships to other business functions:

  • CO, CO, Parallel Valuation of Cost of Goods Manufactured (FIN_CO_COGM), SAP ERP 6.0 enhancement packages 5 and upwards

    From SAP enhancement package 7 SP02, you can also use the parallel valuation of the cost of goods manufactured to valuate investment measures in accordance with different accounting principles. These valuation approaches are activated for each depreciation area when you settle investment measures for assets under construction (AUC) and for the full settlement to completed assets, depending on the accounting principle. Differing capitalization percentage rates from the Customizing activity for calculating the capitalization value of investment measures (transaction OKGK) are taken into account.

  • Materials Management - Enhancements in Procurement (LOG_MM_CI_3), SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0

    If you use purchase orders for low-value assets (LVA) in Asset Accounting, then in the future it is not possible to note purchase orders if the LVA maximum amount is exceeded. If you want to use the function for noting purchase orders, we recommend that you activate the business function Materials Management - Enhancements in Procurement (LOG_MM_CI_3).

  • FI-AA, Asset Accounting (FIN_AA_CI_1), SAP enhancement package 6 for SAP ERP 6.0

    Where you have assigned different fiscal year variants to your general ledgers, you can only use new Asset Accounting if you have activated business function FIN_AA_CI_1, and have assigned the appropriate fiscal year variant to the corresponding depreciation areas that manage APC and post in real time.

  • FI-GL, Change in Leading Valuation (such as to IFRS) (FIN_GL_CHNGE_LDG_VAL), SAP enhancement package 7 for SAP ERP 6.0 SP 02

    Setting up and activating this business function (FIN_AA_PARALLEL_VAL) is the prerequisite for changing the leading valuation in the new General Ledger Accounting.

Time of the changeover from classic to new Asset Accounting

You can make the changeover from the classic to the new Asset Accounting at any time you wish.

The prerequisite for this is, however, that you have completed all periodic and current posting processes that involve Asset Accounting. You must not make any postings during the changeover.

You are recommended to carry out the changeover after period closing has been fully completed.

Standard settings

Activities

Step 3: Start Customizing for new Asset Accounting.

(Number sequence: See above.)

You start Customizing for new Asset Accounting explicitly by selecting the option In Preparation in this activity in the New Asset Accounting group box and then saving.

Step 4: Make the Customizing settings for new Asset Accounting

If you have already been using classic Asset Accounting, then you only have to make settings for new and changed functions (delta Customizing). The following explanations deal only with delta Customizing. It is important to read the documentation of the given Customizing activity.

Delta Customizing consists of the following settings in Customizing for Asset Accounting (New):

I. Define Depreciation Area

You change Customizing of depreciation areas under Asset Accounting (New) -> Valuation -> Depreciation Areas -> Define Depreciation Areas.
