Purpose
As the first step of Monthly/Quarterly/Yearly end closing, you need to execute depreciation recalculation via transaction code
AFAR. In case of any error occurred in test run and/or real run of depreciation recalculation, the error has to be eliminated first
before you move to further steps of closing process. This article describes detailed steps for general depreciation recalculation
process.

Overview
To ensure depreciation is recalculated correctly for all assets, usually we execute depreciation recalculation in background first and remove all errors
occurred in test run of depreciation recalculation. afterwards, we execute real run of depreciation recalculation in background.

<Section 1: Test Run of Depreciation Recalculation>

1, Execute transaction code AFAR and specify parameters only for field Company code and Test run

2, Go to menu: Program -> Execute in background to execute depreciation calculation in background mode.

3, Specify printer and push button 'Confirm'

4, Push button 'Confirm'

5, Push button 'Immediate' and button 'Save'

6, Execute transaction code SE37 to check the job has finished

7, Execute transaction code ARMO then input below parameters F8 to Execute

8, Check the status of Test Run. if the status is red light, then go to next step to check the details of error messages

9, Push button 'Spool'

10, Go to the bottom of Spool to check if there is any error message recorded

11, Check error messages one by one and correct those errors completely

12, After all errors are solved, you need to repeat all of above steps again to check if there is still any error message recorded in the spool of test run of
depreciation recalculation

13, If the status for test run of depreciation recalculation in step 8 is green light like below screen, you can move to section 2 to execute real run of
depreciation recalculation

<Section 2: Update Run of Depreciation Recalculation>

1, Execute transaction code AFAR and input parameter company code only
2, Go to menu: Program -> Execute in background to execute depreciation calculation in background mode.

3, Specify printer and push button 'Confirm'

4, Push button 'Confirm'

 5, Push button 'Immediate' and button 'Save'

6, Execute transaction code SE37 to check the job has finished

7, Execute transaction code ARMO then input below parameters F8 to Execute

8, Check the status for update run is green light.

9, In below screen, click on button 'Spool' to check there is no error message recorded in the bottom of the spool
 <Section 3: Scenarios for Depreciation Recalculation>
1, Before Month / Year end closing

2, After customizing change in Asset Accounting

3, After support package upgrade

New Asset Accounting (S4 HANA FINANCE)

Will do some basic configuration in the S4 HANA FINANCE system, without many bells and whistles; I have not activated document splitting
nor additional local currencies, will configure the following:

1. Chart of Depreciation

a. Copy chart of depreciation

b. Modify the description

c. Delete depreciation areas not required

d. Assign company code to chart of depreciation

2. Asset Class (Structures your fixed assets)

a. Account Determination

b. Screen layout (field status)

c. Asset number range

d. Define asset class

e. Depreciation area activation/deactivation

f. Create GL account (for eg: Vehicle(Recon), Accumulated depreciation account(Liability) Sale of asset( Profit on sale GL
account/loss on sale GL account) , Loss due to scrap, Deprecation.

g. Integration with GL accounts via account determination (for automatic posting)

h. Maintain number range for Deprecation posting AF

i. Specify the intervals for posting (monthly, quarterly, yearly etc)

j. Specify the rounding net book value

k. Define screen layout for asset master data (eg: Default capitalization date.)

l. l. Screen layout for Depreciation area (eg: Dep Key, useful life, start date)

3. Depreciation configuration

a. Depreciation multi level (eg: percentage is derived from DML)

b. Maintain period control

c. Base method

d. Decline balance method

e. Maintain depreciation key

f. Do some postings like create asset, sale, scrap, run Dep etc.

Created company code AB10 and the following are the bare minimum settings:
AB10 has local currency as USD and Fiscal year variant K4. (also activated parallel GL accts for account based approach )

Setting 0% input and output tax: TCode: OBCL

Chart of Dep:

Nothing fancy, we are going to us only Book Depreciation, what is new here is Assignment of accounting Principle
Assign Chart of Depreciation to Company code.

Asset class Configuration:

Specify Account Determination:

Created AB10V acct determination identifier.

Create Screen layout rules:

Define number range interval

Define Asset Class

Creating Asset class AB10V: Eg Vehicles

GL Accounts creation

Create Asset GL Account FS00

Create Accumulated Depreciation account (Liabilities).

Sale of Asset GL Account (Income)
Profit on sale of Asset GL Account (Income)

Loss on sale of asset (Expense)

Loss due to scrap (Expense)

Depreciation GL Account (Expense)

Assign these GL accounts for automatic posting. (Account determination) AO90

Double click on Balance sheet accounts as below, enter acct determination id.

Enter previously created G/L accounts as shown below:

Double click on Depreciation Enter Depreciation and accumulate dep GL accounts as shown below.
Maintain the document type number range OBA7
Specify the Posting rules OAYR

Double click on Posting rules and select Monthly Posting

Rounding Net book value OAYO

Define Screen layout for Asset master data
Make Capitalization required field
Select time dependent data:

Made Business area as required in this demo.

Define Screen layout for Asset Depreciation areas

We will use standard 2000

Making Dep key, usefully life and dep start date required.

Configuring Multilevel method AFAMS

Configuring Period Control AFAMP

Configuring Dep Key AFAMA

Enter details as shown below:

Click Activate button

Determine Depreciation Areas in the Asset Class OAYZ

Using only Book Dep.

Create asset

Create a sub asset

You need to Create Technical clearing account (Specific to Simple finance) FS00

Define technical clearing account:

Purchase the Asset F-90, Enter details as shown below

Document Posted: Vendor to Technical clearing account.

AW01N (Asset Report)

Now Run the Depreciation (AFAB) Test Run

Actual depreciation run
Now Run AW01 Report (You can see depreciation posted)

Now we will create another asset for Transfer posting

Asset with sub number 2 created

Transfer the asset (ABUMN)

(Area selection is new in NEW ASSET ACCOUNTING)

Now go to Report AW01N (you can see the transfer)

Now the depreciation values will post from period 2 from the transferred asset
Asset sub number 1 is closed

Now we will scrap this asset ABAVN

Loss due to scrapping.

Sale of Asset.

Create another Asset

Purchase asset F-90

Vendor to Technical clearing account

Run AW01N

Sale of Asset F-92

Customer to Sale of asset
Recommended reports:

Asset history sheet RAGITT_ALV01

Planned Depreciation run: RAHAFA_ALV01

Line items now go to ACDOC table

 Some things to take away:

1. If Non-leading ledgers are activated, you need to create additional depreciation areas for each non leading ledger. And also for additional
local currencies

2. Depreciation areas cannot be created for appendix ledger.

3. Posting will be done in real time to Non-leading ledgers, so no delta postings required anymore.

4. We need to assign depreciation area to accounting principle

5. ABST2 Preparation for yearend closing (Removed)

6. Instead of vendor to asset, postings in new asset accounting will be to Technical clearing accounts..

If time permits will do one more demo with document splitting and non leading ledgers.

Thanks
Akbar

How we can verify the asset posting logs

Purpose
The purpose of this page is to help users to verify system log after run periodic posting or depreciation posting in test mode.

Overview
When we run periodic posting or depreciation posting, as best practice, we should run them as test mode first and verify the system log to ensure that
posting will occur without errors.

The most used transaction codes to verify periodic and depreciation posting logs are SCMO and ARMO.

Transaction codes to verify log:

The most used transaction codes to verify periodic and depreciation posting logs are SCMO and ARMO.

Go to transaction code SCMO:

Or go to transaction code ARMO directly:

By both transaction codes you will able to verify monitor below:

Also, if you want to know if there have been errors in the "direct posting", you can check it by transaction code ARAL:

Asset Fiscal Year Change

Skip to end of metadata
Created by Suresh Jayanthi, last modified on Feb 11, 2017
Go to start of metadata
Generally speaking, a Fiscal Year change is the opening of a new Fiscal Year for a Company Code. During a Fiscal Year change process, the asset
values from previous Fiscal Year are carried forward cumulatively into the new Fiscal Year. Once the Fiscal Year change takes place, one can start
posting to assets using value dates in the new Fiscal Year. Simultaneously, one can continue to post in the previous Fiscal Year. You find the Fiscal
Year change program under Periodic processing. SAP Easy Access Menu: Accounting Financial Accounting Fixed Assets Periodic
Processing Fiscal Year Change (AJRW) - Refer screenshot below:
Process flow

The Fiscal Year change can only be carried out (even in test mode) for the new Fiscal Year. The earliest that one can carry out a Fiscal Year change is
in the last month of the old Fiscal Year. One can choose any point in the new Fiscal Year for carrying out the Fiscal Year change. One can have a
maximum of two Fiscal years open for postings at any given point in time. Before one changes to Fiscal Year 9999, it is important and must to close
Fiscal Year 9999 - 2 (Reference: Year-end Closing Transaction AJAB).
One should not post any business transactions in a new Fiscal Year before the Fiscal Year change is taken up. Posting in the old Fiscal Year can be
continued, even after the Fiscal year Change, as already mentioned above. The system automatically corrects any values which are affected by
postings in the past

Let's see an example here. Let's take a scenario where there are two open Fiscal Yea(s) for Assets are 2016 and 2017. Now, if Fiscal Year 2018 need
to be opened, then one should consider closing Fiscal Year 2016. To congurate this situation, one need to access Transaction Code OAAQ (Change
View "Remove Year-End Closing for Company Code": Overview).
Now, consider closing Fiscal Year in Asset Accounting with Transaction Code AJAB (Refer Screenshot above).

As a next step, consider opening a Fiscal Year in Asset Accounting with Transaction Code: AJRW (Refer Screenshot Above)

Later, consider copying a Document Number Range Interval for the next Fiscal Year with Transaction OBH2.

Later open posting periods for the next Fiscal Year with Transaction Code OB52.

Cross-Company Code Depreciation Postings with RAPOST2000

Author: D033258
IMS Financials, SAP AG

Common Abbreviations
CoD = Chart of Depreciation

CC = Company Code

TCODE = Transaction Code

G/L = General Ledger

Occuring Issues
Customer upgrades from release prior to R/3 Enterprise (4.70) and detects differences between cross-company postings done by the old
depreciation program (RABUCH00) vs. the new depreciation program (RAPOST2000).

Often the Cost Center has a different company code assigned, RABUCH00 did not post the depreciation to this foreign company code (=
cross-company), but RAPOST2000 ends with error message KI 223 (Cost center &/& can only be assigned to in company code &).

In some cases customer complains that other G/L transactions (FB01, etc.) allow posting to TCODE used in this transaction without errors,
even if the cost center has a different company code assigned, but RAPOST2000 ends with error message KI 223 (Cost center &/& can only be
assigned to in company code &).

In seldom cases the customer does not know the document number determination for these postings, because it changed also from
RABUCH00 to RAPOST2000

Basic Functionality
IMG

Asset Accounting

Master Data

Specify Cost Center Check Across Company Codes

 IMG Documentation Specify Cost Center Check Across Company Codes
Activate this functionality if

cost accounting extends across company codes (several company codes belong to one controlling area) and

account assignment of cost accounting depreciation from Asset Accounting to cost centers that are in different company codes than the
asset.

When you enter a cost center in the asset master record, the standard system checks if this cost center exists in the same company code as the asset.
You are not allowed to enter a cost center in a different company code.

In this step, you can make this check less strict. The system then only checks whether the cost center exists in the given controlling area.

Example
Asset: 30051 -> Company code of the asset: 0001 -> Cost center in the asset: SAP-DUMMY -> Company code of cost center SAP-DUMMY: 1000

Excursus CO
Company Code Maintenance in Cost Center Master Record only when Cross-Company Code Cost Accounting is active in Controlling Area (OX06)

Excursus RABUCH00 vs. RAPOST2000

Old depreciation run RABUCH00 did not check the cost center initially. RABUCH00 interpreted IMG activation flag in FI-AA customizing (T093C-
BKRAKT). If not set to active, only sending CC was posted - even if cost center had different CC assigned.

This is the first pitfall when upgrading to RAPOST2000. New depreciation report initially uses cost center information. As additional check T093C-
BKRAKT is checked. If inconsistent information is determined, RAPOST2000 will end with errors

Asset Master Record Maintenance

IMG Setting not active, trying to assign Cost Center with different company code:
 Exception
If the company code check is deactivated for 'Activate components' in the Controlling IMG under 'Controlling -> General Controlling -> Organization ->
Maintain Controlling Area', then a cost center can be assigned to the asset master record without having activated it in IMG FI-AA!

Second Pitfall: these cases will lead to KI 223 in RAPOST2000!!!

Important note:
Deactivating the company code check has an effect on all postings in external FI since CO objects from other company codes can generally be
assigned to an account as a result. A reconciliation between G/L and cost accounting is no longer possible.
Deactivate the company code check is only possible if the reconciliation ledger is not active (Deactivate Reconciliation Ledger: Transaction KALB).

Basic Intention
If depreciation is posted in company code X for the cost-accounting depreciation area "fixed assets" that points at a cost center K in another company
code Y, two documents are created (one for each account assignment):

Document 1 (relevant for CO):

=============================
Debits/credits Account Company code Cost center
D depr. account Y K
C clearing acc. Y -

Document 2:
============================
Debits/credits Account Company code Cost center
D clearing acc. X -
C depr. clearing acc. X -

Cross-Company Code Document Type Customizing with RABUCH00

Described in note 51860

All company codes "X1, X2 ..." with fixed assets use same doc type for depreciation posting (e.g. AF). Corresponding number ranges over company
codes "X1, X2 ..." may have no overlaps. In addition, the number range for document type AF must be maintained in company code Y of the cost
centers and all number ranges for document type AF must be across company codes "X1, X2 ..." or chosen internally.

Example: company code X1: number range for AF = (10000, 19999)

company code X2: number range for AF = (20000, 29999)
company code Y: number range for AF = (10000, 29999)
or other internal number range

If fixed assets are also contained in company code Y, then in Y a document type other than the AF document type for the "X1, X2, ..." company codes
(e.g. AG) must be chosen as document type for the depreciation posting runs. The number range of document type AG across company code Y may
not overlap with the number ranges of document type AF across company codes "X1, X2, ...".

Example: company code X1: number range for AF = (10000, 19999)

company code X2: number range for AF = (20000, 29999)
company code Y: number range for AF = (10000, 29999)
or other internal number range
number range for AG = (50000, 59999)

Cross-Company Code Document Type Customizing with RAPOST2000

Assumption: standard document type AF is used for depreciation posting
 IMG Asset Accounting -> Integration with G/L -> Post Depreciation to G/L -> Document Type for Cross-Company Code Cost Accounting in External
Company Code

Logic before release ECC 6.0:

AF must have external number range assignment

Document type for cross-company code depreciation posting must meet the following conditions:

It must be a document type different from AF (e.g. AZ)

It must be defined with internal document number assignment.

Enhancement: only 2 document types needed, AF used for depreciation postings in all company codes, AZ will always be used for cross-
company postings!

Logic as of release ECC 6.0:

AF must have internal number range assignment

Document type for cross-company code depreciation posting must meet the following conditions:

It needs not to be different from AF, can be the same as the regular depr. document type

It must be defined with internal document number assignment.

Enhancement : only 1 document types needed for any number determination

Depreciation document without cross-company code posting

G/L Depreciation Document

Depreciation document without cross-company code posting

G/L Depreciation documents

->Offset Accounts balance to zero!!!

Maintenance of clearing accounts - standard functionality

IMG Financial Accounting -> General Ledger Accounting -> Business Transactions -> Prepare Cross-Company Code transactions

If no clearing accounts are maintained, error message is given out.

 Maintenance of clearing accounts - individual functionality
As the standard functionality is used mainly for cross-company code functionality for component accounts payable and accounts receivable, these
accounts are regularly open item managed accounts.

Many customers do not want to use open item managed accounts in their local GAAP for postings from the CO-only depreciation area (e.g. area 20) ...
this is a conflict, because is only one IMG step for any purposes

Assumption: Accounting Interface creates automated cross-company postings only if balance per document per company code is not balancing.

Solution: Asset Accounting line item generator enriches created document, so that in each affected company code balance zero is given before
passing the document to Accounting Interface.

Use of method ADD_DOC_LINES in Business Add-In BADI_FIAA_DOCLINES for Asset Accounting line item generator.

Coding Template released in note 723611 (RAPOST2000: Cross-company code postings in calc. Area)

Functionality: take depreciation line item for sending company code (offset account) and

Duplicate entry with twisted posting indicator and twisted posting amount in sending company code to identical account

Duplicate entry with an identical posting in receiving company code to identical account

-> G/L document balances in all company codes before passing the document to Accounting Interface

Schedule Monitor Assistance

With the change from external to internal document number usage, Schedule Monitor integration was enhanced. Internal AA document numbers are
stored as well as all generated G/L document numbers

Difference Between AFAB and ASKB

Hi All,
I would like to know the exact difference between the AFAB and ASKB.
In which situation we need to run the depreciation in AFAB and ASKB.
Immediately points will be assigned

Hi,
Following is the difference
ASKB:
You can post the values of depreciation areas to the general ledger directly, without having to
generate a batch-input session, using a new periodic APC posting run. In addition, you can directly
update the values of depreciation areas to a ledger during the posting transaction. This direct
update is similar to online posting used for the master depreciation area.
Following is the procedure
1. ASKB
2. Enter the required dataThe update run of the report has to be executed in the background, in
order to improve system performance. Therefore, start the report in the background Report
selection screen: Program >Execute in Background
3. Check the log of the APC posting run
4. Generate an asset history sheet for the depreciation areas posted
5. Compare the asset history sheet values with the balances of the corresponding reconciliation
accounts in the general ledger.
AFAB
Posting of Depreciation.
The calculation and scheduling of depreciation, interest and revaluation are automatically
controlled by keys in the system, or you can control them manually using a special posting
transaction. In both cases, planned depreciation from Asset Accounting has to be periodically
posted to the corresponding asset and expense accounts of the general ledger. In addition to the
various depreciation types, interest and revaluation, this posting run also posts the allocation and
write-off of special reserves.
Ihope this found useful to you.
Regards,
Jigar

Hi,
AFAB is used to post only the dep at the end of the period generally.
whereas ASKB is used to post any APC values for an asset at any period of time...
Hope you are clear..

Relly i didn't understand what is the purpose of ASKB.

I am trying to know what is ASKB and i made following trans
1) Creation of Asset
2) PO with above asset
3) MIGO
4) Run Dep in ASKB
I could see the Dep value in Test run in AFAB but
when i run ASKB it is showing following message
" Test Run Completed Successfully"
No documents created in this run.
If anybody could tell me what transactions i have to do before run ASKB and explan elaborately.

We specify how depreciation areas should post to the general ledger as below using transaction
code OABX.
o no values (0)
o APC transactions online and depreciation in periodic processing (1)
 o APC transactions in periodic processing and depreciation in periodic processing (2)
o only depreciation in periodic processing.(3)
Normally we use Option (APC online and depreciation in Periodic) for book depreciation area (01)
The depreciation areas for which APC transactions in periodic processing and depreciation in
periodic processing is specified, to post to general ledger for those depreciation areas we use
ASKB transaction.
AFAB is used for periodic depreciation posting.

The main purpose of ASKBN and AFABN are different.

AFABN posts depreciation directly to the depreciation areas on a realtime.
However ASKBN does this on a periodic basis along with APC values. ASKBN will be used when
you want to post values to two real depreciation areas.
As SAP cannot post to two real depreication areas on real time, you need to post values to the
other areas usign ASKBN.
This useful when you have 2 ledgers and each ledger is used for one depreciation area lets say
Local GAAP and US GAAP where the APC values and the rates of depreciations are different. By
ASKBN system arrives the differential values between APC, Dpereciation for different depreciation
areas which AFABN doesn't do.
More Over ASKBN checks thoroughly than AFABN.

Hi Rekha,
ASKBN or ASKB : Periodic asset posting will update acquisition and depreciation in depreciation
area other than area 01 which are maintained as post "APC and depreciation on periodic basis" by
using ASKB or ASKBN
Separate set of GL accounts will be used for ASKBN. You can run ASKBN or ASKB as and when
you need it and not necessarily Month end
AFAB : To post a book depreciation at every period and this activity usually every month end
which posts depreciation 01 Book Depreciation and other areas maintained as real time at OADB.

Hi,
If you want to post different APC values in different ledger, you have to use ASKB
e.g. area 01: IGAAP
e.g. area 50: IFRS
AFAB - It will post dep as per respective depreciation area
ASKB - It will post difference in APC values (area 01 - 50) on asset sale during the year
Hope this helps
Thank You

Hi,
According to me, ASKBN is to be used periodically after month end activity of Depreciation
posting through AFAB is done. The purpose is to rectify the difference between the ledgers due to
parallel depreciation area. By this the amount will be posted in the other depreciation area in
which the Asset Values are not taken like Revaluation Depreciation Area.

Malhar.

Hi,
ASKB is used for having the depreciation areas to be updated for values of asset related postings.
This is basically used for having the update in depreciation areas other than the main
depreciation area.
For example if the client requires reporting as per USGAAP and also IFRS then if we say the basic
depreciation area is USGAAP and then for the values to be updated for assets posting in IFRS you
need to use ASKB.
Hope it helps

Hi,
this is a "safety" feature of the general periodic posting functionality which becomes necessary in
case a "direct" update fails.
The "direct" posting functionality (posting indicator 4) does not update the FI documents realtime
(like posting indicator 1). When using posting indicator 4 the system tries to post the document
"directly" after the realtime postings, but in an asynchronous way. That implies that errors during
the posting will NOT be propagated to the user in dialog, it will simply cause a failure in document
posting.
That also means the user does not get any notification about the failure in posting. There is only a
possibility in transaction ARAL to check if direct postings failed.
However, to avoid now data inconsistencies ASKB has to be run - at least once before fiscal year
closure -, as ASKB is capable to "pick up" these failed direct postings and posts it to G/L.
In case no direct posting failed, ASKB will not post anything but update the log tables that way
that you can close the fiscal year. In this case it just operates as a failsafe check to ensure all
items have been posted before closing the year.

The main purpose of ASKB and AFAB are different.

AFAB posts depreciations directly to the depreciation areas on a realtime.
However, ASKB does this on a periodic basis along with APC values. ASKB will be used when you
want to post values to two real depreciation areas.
As SAP cannot post to tow real depreciation areas on real time, you need to post values to the
other areas using ASKB.
This is useful when you have 2 ledgers and each ledger is used for one depreciation area.
For example: Local GAAP and US GAAP where the APC values and the rates of depreciations are
different.
By ASKB system arrives the differential values between APC, depreciation for different
depreciation areas which AFAB doesnt do.
Moreover, ASKB checks thoroughly than AFAB.

ASKB(N): document type do not defined

Hello all!
When I start ASKBN befor AFAB (sistem 6.0) I got a message "Document type for periodic APC
posting does not exist". Message no. AC197
But when I went to OBA7 and look through the type AN with Net asset posting and tried to define
the interval for it in FBN1, this interval was already exist and 4 document was posted. I set this
interval for aquisition postings (abso). What to do with ASKBN? Or what document type should be
defined for ASKBN?

In the 6.0 version you have to assign s document type for periodical postings, go to the part
Intergration with FI in config.
From now the numberrange assigned to should be internal and no longer external!

Difference between ASKBN and AFABN

AFABN posts depreciation directly to the depreciation areas on a realtime. However ASKBN does this on a periodic basis along
with APC values.

ASKBN will be used when you want to post values to two real depreciation areas.

As SAP cannot post to two real depreication areas on real time, you need to post values to the other areas usign ASKBN.

This useful when you have 2 ledgers and each ledger is used for one depreciation area lets say Local GAAP and US GAAP
where the APC values and the rates of depreciations are different.

y ASKBN system arrives the differential values between APC, Dpereciation for different depreciation areas which AFABN doesn't
do.
More Over ASKBN checks thoroughly than AFABN.
