Documentation
Definition
Posting period of the fiscal year, for which the depreciation posting run should be carried out.
Use
- During regular posting runs, the system uses this entry to check if the specified posting period agrees with the period derived from the depreciation posting cycle.
Example:
Fiscal year version has 12 posting periods
Posting cycle 003 = quarterly posting
Posting runs are allowed only for the periods 3, 6, 9, 12 and all special periods. - For unplanned posting runs, you can enter any period, for which no depreciation posting run has yet been carried out. It must always be a period that is allowed for in the posting cycle. When using a quarterly posting cycle, for example, you cannot post in period 7. If you skip over any periods that should have been posted according to the posting cycle, you cannot carry out a subsequent posting run for these periods.
- As long as you already posted to the last normal period, it is possible to post to a special period in Financial Accounting. You generally use special periods when you don't want certain year-end closing procedures to affect the results of the last normal period.
Documents that are created by the report recieve the date of the last day of the posting period. For special periods, the last day of the fiscal year is always used as the posting date.
Note
It is possible that the depreciation periods in Asset Accounting do not agree with the posting periods of the FI fiscal year. This might be, for example, because half-periods are used in Asset Accounting. However, even if this is the case, you always have to enter the FI posting periods (not the depreciation periods).
For example, if Asset Accounting has 24 periods and the fiscal year version in Financial Accounting has 12 ordinary periods, enter the periods 1-12 for the depreciation posting run (not 1-24).

Transfer of the asset portfolio to Profit Center Accounting
Use
You enter the Asset Accounting posting period here that should be transferred to Profit Center Accounting.
If you use a different fiscal year version in Asset Accounting than in Profit Center Accounting, the system determines the period in Profit Center Accounting. The system uses the last day of the Asset Accounting period as the key date when making this determination.
Procedure
Examples
You use half periods (that is, 24 periods) in Asset Accounting, but only 12 periods in Profit Center Accounting.
When you transfer data for the first period to Profit Center Accounting, select 2. For the second period, select 4, and so on.
If you would have selected 1 instead of 2 in this example, the system would transfer the asset accounting data from the end of the first half period in Asset Accounting to period 1 in Profit Center Accounting.

Enter the rule that the system is to use to determine a different billing date.
Example
A customer rents a photocopier, paying retrospectively at the end of each month. The customer wants to be billed two days before the end of the month, however. Enter a date determination rule that subtracts two days from the billing date determined by the system.
