Prepare New Asset Accounting

Use

The following activities are relevant for you if you have been using classic Asset Accounting up to now
and you now want to migrate to new Asset Accounting.

These and the following activities support you in migrating Customizing data; once you have completed
these activities, you can activate new Asset Accounting. Migrating transaction data is not possible until after
that; however, the migration of transaction data is not a part of these IMG activities. The documents from
Asset Accounting are migrated as part of the migration of documents from the general ledger. You must
then build the depreciation values of your fixed assets as initial.

Note:
SAP S/4HANA contains SAP S/4HANA Finance. SAP S/4HANA Finance contains the product SAP
Accounting powered by SAP HANA. New Asset Accounting is part of SAP Accounting powered by SAP
HANA.

Overview of Steps

To be able to use new Asset Accounting, you have to follow the steps below (among others): The steps
differ depending on whether you are in the Customizing system or in a downstream system (test system,
production system).

When you install SAP S/4HANA, the system shows the IMG structure Asset Accounting (New) in the SAP
Reference IMG, which also contains this activity. At the same time, the system hides the IMG structure for
classic Asset Accounting.

Caution:

Immediately after you have installed SAP S/4HANA (step 2 in the Customizing system or step 10
in the test and production system), posting is no longer possible in Asset Accounting - neither
using the old logic nor the new logic. You cannot post using the new logic until after the migration
of your Customizing data and transaction data (documents).

After you have performed the migration and activated new Asset Accounting, it is not possible to
return to using classic Asset Accounting. Classic Asset Accounting is in SAP S/4HANA and
therefore does not exist in SAP Accounting powered by SAP HANA.

Requirements

Steps 1 and 8: Create prerequisites for the use of new Asset Accounting

(Number sequence for the steps: See above.)

Before you install SAP S/4HANA, you have to ensure that the prerequisites are met. You can do so using
the program for preliminary checks RASFIN_MIGR_PRECHECK. You import this program to your system
by means of SAP Note 1939592 before you install SAP S/4HANA. Perform this check in all of your
systems - in the Customizing system as well as in the test system and production system.

Prerequisites for the use of new Asset Accounting

Non-Compatible Components

If you migrate to SAP Accounting powered by SAP HANA and want to use new Asset Accounting, you are
not allowed to use any of the following components:

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

Detailed Prerequisites

You have activated the Financials Extension (EA-FIN) business function, since you need the new
depreciation calculation with the Depreciation Calculation Program (DCP) from EA-FIN. Either you
already activated EA-FIN in any case at an earlier point in time, or you activate EA-FIN manually in
your systems as part of a project, before you install SAP S/4HANA.

To reflect parallel accounting, you use either the ledger approach in General Ledger Accounting
(FI-GL) (New) or the accounts approach in classic General Ledger Accounting.

The following applies for Asset Accounting:

o You have configured the classic Asset Accounting (FI-AA) application component.

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

Check whether you can completely archive documents from deactivated company codes (this
means company codes that only allow subsequent reporting).
If you do not archive the documents of the company code, you must do the following:

o You must migrate the documents with the document migration; and

o You must migrate the assigned chart of depreciation.

The parallel currencies in the leading ledger in General Ledger Accounting and in the depreciation
areas of the leading valuation in Asset Accounting must be the same.

The following applies in addition to the ledger approach: The parallel valuations of the non-leading
ledger and the depreciation areas of the parallel valuation in Asset Accounting have to 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 install SAP S/4HANA.
Contact your consultant.

Preparation

If, up to now, you were using classic Asset Accounting with classic General Ledger Accounting or classic
Asset Accounting with new General Ledger Accounting, you have to make the following preparations:

Make sure that period-end closing was performed (the following programs (among others):
RAPOST2000, RAPERB2000, reconciliation of the asset subsidiary ledger with the general ledger
(account balance list and asset list, RAABST01, RAABST02). If you install SAP S/4HANA at the
close of the fiscal year, you should also perform year-end closing.

Lock the users to ensure that no additional postings are made.

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.

Caution:
You can no longer post once you have installed SAP S/4HANA. Posting is only possible again after you
have completed the migration fully and successfully. For the installation and the migration to be successful,
it is mandatory that you ensure the completeness of the postings for the period-end closing before the
installation.

When to install SAP S/4HANA with new Asset Accounting.

From the point of view of Asset Accounting, you can install SAP S/4HANA at any time; however, it is a
requirement that a period-end closing must have been completed.

You need to have fully completed all periodic and current posting processes that involve Asset Accounting.
You must not make any postings during the changeover.

Caution:
You are only allowed to perform the next steps once you have made sure that your system meets the
prerequisites for installing SAP S/4HANA by using the program mentioned above for preliminary checks,
RASFIN_MIGR_PRECHECK.

Activities

Steps 2 and 10: Install SAP S/4HANA with new Asset Accounting.

You start the installation of SAP S/4HANA. Starting from this point in time, it is no longer possible to post in
Asset Accounting.

If you were already using classic Asset Accounting, then you only have to migrate your charts of
depreciation, and check and possibly add to delta Customizing.

If you were not already using Asset Accounting and now want to use it in the future, you have to completely
configure your system for Asset Accounting. The following does not explain the individual steps necessary
for this configuration. In the case of a complete configuration, you have to perform step 7 after the
configuration is complete, and activate the Customizing switch (Activate New Asset Accounting activity).
Steps 3 and 11: Follow the relevant steps for migrating to new General Ledger Accounting

SAP Accounting powered by SAP HANA is based on new General Ledger Accounting (FI-GL (new)). If you
want to use SAP Accounting powered by SAP HANA, but were still using classic General Ledger
Accounting until now, the data for General Ledger Accounting is migrated during the migration.

Step 4: Migrate the charts of depreciation for new Asset Accounting.

This step is necessary, if you were already using classic Asset Accounting or new Asset Accounting (from
SAP enhancement package 7 for SAP ERP 6.0). You can either migrate the charts of depreciation
automatically using the migration program, or manually.

I. Check/create accounting principles

Check if there are accounting principles in the system for your leading and parallel valuations. If not, then
create them.

You check and change Customizing for accounting principles in Customizing under Financial Accounting
(New) -> Financial Accounting Global Settings (New) -> Ledgers -> Parallel Accounting -> Define
Accounting Principles.

II. Check ledgers and ledger groups

The following applies to the ledger approach: One ledger with a ledger group has to exist in the system for
each valuation, so for the leading valuation and the parallel valuation. This is normally ledger 0L for the
leading ledger with ledger group 0L.

The following applies for the accounts approach: The leading ledger with the ledger group has to have
been created in the system. This represents your leading valuation. For each parallel valuation, you have to
create a (new) ledger group that also contains the leading ledger as a representative ledger.
The leading ledger 0L with ledger group 0L is usually created by default in the system.

Check if the necessary ledgers and ledger groups have been created in the system.

You change Customizing for ledgers in Customizing under Financial Accounting (New) -> Financial
Accounting Global Settings (New) -> Ledgers -> Define Ledgers for General Ledger Accounting.

You change Customizing for ledger groups in Customizing under Financial Accounting (New) -> Financial
Accounting Global Settings (New) -> Ledgers -> Define Ledger Group.

For the accounts approach, you can also have the option of having the system generate the ledger group
for parallel valuation. Start the migration program (see below). The migration cannot completely take place
due to the missing ledger group for parallel valuation and the missing assignment of this ledger group to an
accounting principle. However, the system generates a ledger group for each valuation. Its name is made
up of <& number of the leading depreciation area of the parallel valuation &>.

Adjust the name of the generated ledger group, if necessary. Run the migration program again later. (See
the "Migrate Charts of Accounts" section below.)

III. Assign accounting principles to ledger groups

You change the assignment in Customizing under Financial Accounting (New) -> Financial Accounting
Global Settings (New) -> Ledgers -> ->Parallel Accounting -> Assign Accounting Principle to Ledger
Groups.

Assign the accounting principle to the ledger group for each valuation that is represented by a depreciation
area in your chart of depreciation.
IV. Define settings for the journal entry of the ledger

Check the assignment of the accounting principle for the combination of ledger and company code in
Customizing under Define Settings for Journal Entry of Ledger.

V. Migrate Charts of Accounts

You migrate your active charts of depreciation in Customizing for Asset Accounting (New) under Migrate
Charts of Depreciation.

Other Activities

Before you can actually use new Asset Accounting, you have to perform the following steps from the
sequence of steps listed above.

In your Customizing system, these are the following steps:

Step 5: Make additional manual settings in Customizing for new Asset Accounting. See Perform
Additional Manual Activities.

Step 6: Check the prerequisites for activating new Asset Accounting and

Step 7: Activate new Asset Accounting.

Migrate Charts of Depreciation

Use

If you are already using classic Asset Accounting and want to migrate to new Asset Accounting, you have to
migrate the charts of depreciation from classic Asset Accounting. This activity supports you in this
migration.

Using this activity, you can (among other things) assign depreciation areas to an accounting principle.

Requirements

You have made the preparations in activity Prepare New Asset Accounting:

You have checked the accounting principles and created new ones, if necessary.

You have checked the ledgers and ledger groups.

You have assigned the accounting principles to ledger groups.

You have assigned a ledger and an accounting principle to the company codes used in Asset
Accounting.

Standard settings

During the migration, the system makes the following changes:

1. Assign accounting principle and ledger group:

An accounting principle and the related ledger group are assigned to each depreciation area, even
to the non-posting depreciation areas.
 Note the following: For each set of depreciation areas that is assigned to the same ledger group,
only one depreciation area is allowed to manage acquisition and production costs (APC) and have
the option Area Posts in Realtime or Area Posts APC Immediately.
2. Adjust Post to General Ledger option:
The settings for posting to the general ledger are changed.

o The leading area of the leading valuation always contains the Area Posts in Realtime
option.

o The following applies to the ledger approach: The leading area of the parallel valuation
also contains the Area Posts in Realtime option.

o The following applies for the accounts approach: The leading area of the parallel valuation
receives the option Area Posts APC Immediately, Depreciation Periodically or Area Posts
APC and Depreciation Periodically.

o The derived depreciation areas that posted to Financial Accounting up to now when the
ledger approach was used are no longer needed, except for reporting purposes. These
areas receive the option Area Does Not Post.

o Depreciation areas that represent reserves for special depreciation, for example, receive
the option Depreciation Area Posts Account Balances in Real Time, Depreciation
Periodically for posting to the general ledger.

3. Adjust transfer of APC values:

It is only possible to transfer values within a set of depreciation areas to which the same
accounting principle is assigned.
The leading depreciation area of a valuation always receives the indicator 00, meaning that it
never adopts values from another area. The non-leading areas of a valuation always adopt their
values from an area that is assigned to the same accounting principle. (Exception: Depreciation
areas for investment support shown on the liabilities side always have indicator 00.)
4. Adjust transfer of depreciation terms:
The same applies here as for the adoption of APC values.
5. The system determines, if you are using the accounts approach or the ledger approach.

Activities

1. Perform the migration in a test run.

2. Check the applicable log, and correct the errors.
3. Perform the migration in an update run.

Note:
You can display the migration log of all migrations performed in a test run or an update run in Customizing
for Asset Accounting (New) under Display Migration Log.

Migrate Charts of Depreciation

Purpose
If you are already using classic Asset Accounting and want to migrate to new Asset Accounting, you have to
migrate the charts of depreciation from classic Asset Accounting. This program supports you in this
migration.

You can use this program to assign the depreciation areas to an accounting principle and to assign the
ledger groups they belong to.

Features
In the depreciation areas of a chart of depreciation, the program fills the fields that are new in new Asset
Accounting:

Accounting Principle and Ledger Group:

For each leading depreciation area with its dependent depreciation areas, the program fills an
accounting principle and the related ledger group. For this to take place, you have to have made
the Customizing settings for the assignment of the accounting principle to the ledger group.

Posting Indicator:

o For all delta areas, the posting indicator is set to Area Does Not Post.

o If you are using the ledger approach, the posting indicator for the leading depreciation
area of the given ledger group receives the value Area Posts in Realtime (for all
accounting principles).

o If you are using the accounts approach, the posting indicator for the leading depreciation
area of the given ledger receives the value Area Posts in Realtime; for all other
depreciation areas of the other accounting principles, the indicator receives the value
Area Posts APC and Depreciation Periodically.

Indicators for Adoptions of Terms and Values:

The indicator for the adoption of depreciation terms and also the indicator for the adoption of
values are removed for the leading depreciation from the other accounting principles (that is, the
indicators are set to initial).

Selection
The chart of depreciation is available as a selection criterion.

You can choose to run the program as a test run or an update run.
We recommend that you run the program as a test run first, so that you can correct any errors before
processing the update run.
If you run the program as an update run, the system updates the tables for the depreciation areas.

Output
The program logs the results in an application log with the following ID:

Object: FIAA Asset Accounting

Subobject: 009 Other
The processing of the charts of depreciation is displayed. As soon as an indicator or a field of the
depreciation areas changes, this is displayed in the log as a message.

For each chart of depreciation, the system issues a message stating whether it was migrated successfully
with this migration program.

Check migrated charts of depreciation or perform manual migration of charts of depreciation.

You have to migrate the charts of depreciation manually in the following cases:

Your chart of depreciation could not be migrated during the automatic migration because the
starting situation defined in your system is not recognized by the migration program.

You want to migrate the charts of depreciation manually in any case.

You have charts of depreciation in your system that are assigned to a deactivated company code.
This means they are assigned to a company code that only allows subsequent reporting. The data
of this deactivated company code is still not archived; it must therefore be migrated with the
document migration. You must therefore definitely migrate this chart of depreciation manually.

This is possible at any time by making the following settings in Customizing for Asset Accounting (New):

1. Assignment of accounting principles and ledger groups to depreciation areas:

under Asset Accounting (New) -> General Valuation -> Depreciation Areas -> Define Depreciation
Areas
2. Settings for posting to the general ledger (for each depreciation area):
under Asset Accounting (New) -> General Valuation -> Depreciation Areas -> Define Depreciation
Areas
3. Value transfer for acquisition and production costs:
under Asset Accounting (New) -> General Valuation -> Depreciation Areas -> Specify Transfer of
APC Values
4. Transfer of depreciation terms:
under Asset Accounting (New) -> General Valuation -> Depreciation Areas -> Specify Transfer of
Depreciation Terms
5. Use of parallel currencies:
under Asset Accounting (New) -> General Valuation -> Currencies -> Specify the Use of Parallel
Currencies

You can also use these activites, if you want to check the Customizing settings after charts of depreciation
have been migrated automatically.

documentation Migrate Charts of Depreciation.

Display Migration Log

Use

You can use this activity to display the logs of the migration of charts of depreciation during either the test
run or the update run.
Requirements

You have executed at least one migration of charts of depreciation for new Asset Accounting in either test
mode or update mode.

This activity is based on program Display Migration Log. For more information, see the program
documentation Display Migration Log.

Perform Additional Manual Activities

Use

After the migration of the charts of depreciation, you have to make more Customizing settings before you
can check and activate new Asset Accounting.

If you have already been using classic Asset Accounting, then you have to make settings for new and
changed functions (delta Customizing).

In the downstream system (the test system and production system), it is only necessary to manually create
the master data described below.

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 settings in Customizing for Asset Accounting (New) that are described
below:

Note:

documentation for the given Customizing activity.

Define Asset Balance Sheet Accounts of Parallel Valuation as Reconciliation Accounts

This step is only necessary, if you work with the accounts approach. This step is not relevant if you are
using the ledger approach.

Up to now, you have (as part of the accounts approach) represented one or more additional valuations
using separate periodic-posting or direct-posting depreciation areas that post to separate accounts in the
general ledger. These asset balance sheet accounts were posted directly in Financial Accounting up to
now.

In the future, both the leading valuation and parallel valuation post asset values directly to Financial
Accounting. These asset balance sheet accounts are only allowed to be posted by means of Asset
Accounting, and therefore have to be defined as reconciliation accounts.

You have the following options:

You define the asset balance sheet accounts you used up to now (normal balance sheet accounts
that can be posted directly) of the parallel valuation as reconciliation accounts for the future.

In Customizing under Asset Accounting (New) -> Preparations for Production Operation ->
Production Startup -> Accounts Approach: Set/Reset Reconciliation Accounts for Parallel
Valuations.

Or: You create new asset balance sheet accounts in your chart of accounts as reconciliation
accounts of Asset Accounting. To do this, proceed as follows:
 a) Create the new asset balance sheet accounts as reconciliation accounts in the general
ledger.
On the SAP Easy Access screen: under Accounting -> Financial Accounting -> General
Ledger -> Master Records -> G/L Accounts -> Individual Processing -> Centrally
(transaction FS00)

b) You then have to enter these G/L accounts in the account determination of Asset
Accounting. For the posting depreciation area that represents the parallel valuation, you
have to enter the newly created reconciliation accounts (for example, as balance sheet
account for acquisition and production costs, or accumulated depreciation account for
ordinary depreciation).

In Customizing: under Asset Accounting (New) -> Integration with General Ledger
Accounting -> Assign G/L Accounts

c) Assign the newly created G/L accounts to your balance sheet structure.

In Customizing: under Financial Accounting (New) -> General Ledger Accounting (New)
-> Periodic Processing -> Document -> Define Financial Statement Versions

If you are certain that the balance sheet accounts were never posted manually in Financial Accounting in
the past, then you can convert these accounts into reconciliation accounts. If it is not possible to ascertain
this, then we recommend that you create new balance sheet accounts (reconciliation accounts) to make
reconciliation between Financial Accounting and Asset Accounting possible for the future.

In any case, we recommend that you reconcile the asset balance sheet values of Asset Accounting with
General Ledger Accounting in advance, especially for parallel valuations. To do so, use a program for asset
lists in Asset Accounting. In Financial Accounting, you can use the corresponding balance list.

Define Depreciation Area for Quantity Update

In this step, you can specify, for each chart of depreciation, the depreciation area you want to use for the
quantity update. This setting is especially relevant if you are using collective low-value assets. The
quantities in the asset master record are only updated if postings are made to the depreciation area
specified here.

For each chart of depreciation, the system displays a selection of depreciation areas that are allowed to
manage quantities. The depreciation areas are always the leading/posting depreciation area for the given
valuation.

The Customizing activity is optional. In the standard system (that is, as long as you do not make any
settings to the contrary), the system uses depreciation area 01 for the quantity update.

In Customizing: under Asset Accounting (New) -> Valuation -> Depreciation Areas -> Specify Depreciation
Area for Quantity Update

Define Technical Clearing Account for Integrated Asset Acquisition

This step is always necessary if you want to post an integrated asset acquisition. You enter the business
transaction for the vendor invoice and the asset acquisition in one step; you enter the accounts for the
liability and the capitalization of the asset and post to them.

It might be the case that you always post your asset acquisitions without integration. That means, as the
first step, you enter the incoming invoice and post against a clearing account for asset acquisitions. In the
later, second step, you enter a separate transaction in Asset Accounting and thereby capitalize the asset
and post against a clearing account for asset acquisitions. In that case, you do not have to enter this
account.

For an integrated asset acquisition posting, the system divides the business transaction into an operational
part and a valuating part:
 For the operational part (vendor invoice), the system posts a document valid for all accounting
principles against the technical clearing account for integrated asset acquisitions. From a technical
perspective, the system generates a ledger-group-independent document.

For each valuating part (asset posting with capitalization of the asset), the system generates a
separate document that is valid only for the given accounting principle. This document is also
posted against the technical clearing account for integrated asset acquisitions. From a technical
perspective, the system generates ledger-group-specific documents.

Procedure:

1. Create a new G/L account called technical clearing account for integrated asset acquisitions as
a reconciliation account for asset accounts in the chart of accounts and in the company code.

On the SAP Easy Access screen: Accounting -> Financial Accounting -> General Ledger -> Master
Records -> G/L Accounts -> Individual Processing -> Centrally (transaction FS00)

2. Enter this G/L account in the account determination of Asset Accounting for your chart of
accounts.

In Customizing: under Asset Accounting (New) -> Integration with General Ledger Accounting ->
Technical Clearing Account for Integrated Asset Acquisition -> Define Technical Clearing Account
for Integrated Asset Acquisition

3. Assign the newly created G/L accounts to your balance sheet structure.

In Customizing: under Financial Accounting (New) -> General Ledger Accounting (New) ->
Periodic Processing -> Document -> Define Financial Statement Versions

Note:
Check if a different field control is set up in your system, depending on the asset balance sheet account to
be posted or on the given transaction (such as APC or investment support). If this is the case, you need
different technical clearing accounts for integrated asset acquisitions. Proceed as follows:

1. Create another G/L account called technical clearing account for integrated asset acquisitions
as a reconciliation account for asset accounts in the chart of accounts and in the company code.
You have to define the field status variant for this account differently than the first account.

On the SAP Easy Access screen: Accounting -> Financial Accounting -> General Ledger -> Master
Records -> G/L Accounts -> Individual Processing -> Centrally (transaction FS00)

2. You then have to enter this G/L account in the account determination of Asset Accounting for
your chart of accounts.

In Customizing: under Asset Accounting (New) -> Integration with General Ledger Accounting ->
Technical Clearing Account for Integrated Asset Acquisition -> Define Different Technical Clearing
Account for Required Field Control

3. Assign these G/L accounts to your balance sheet structure.

In Customizing: under Financial Accounting (New) -> General Ledger Accounting (New) ->
Periodic Processing -> Document -> Define Financial Statement Versions

Specify Alternative Document Type for Accounting-Principle-Specific Documents

This step can be necessary, if you use document splitting. In that case, you have to enter an alternative
document type for the valuating document, if you want the document splitting rules to be different for the
business transaction variant of the valuating document (asset acquisition) and the operative document
(Accounts Payable). This step could also be necessary, if your organization requires that the valuating
documents are posted with a different document type than the operational documents.

Procedure:
Check whether you need alternative document types for posting the valuating document, either due to the
definition of document splitting or due to requirements in your organization. If this is necessary, proceed as
follows:

1. Check whether you can use a document type that already exists in the system, or whether you
need a new document type. In the second case, create the document type.

In Customizing: under Financial Accounting (New) -> Financial Accounting Global Settings (New)
-> Document -> Document Types

2. Check whether you can use an existing number range for the newly created document type, or
whether you have to create a new number range.

In Customizing: under Financial Accounting (New) -> Financial Accounting Global Settings (New)
-> Document -> Document Number Ranges

3. Assign the alternative document type for the posting of your valuating document.

In Customizing: under Asset Accounting (New) -> Integration with General Ledger Accounting ->
Integrated Transactions: Alternative Document Type for Ledger-Group-Specific Documents ->
Specify Alternative Document Type for Accounting-Principle-Specific Documents

4. If you need to use other alternative document types for the valuating document for individual
company codes, you can differentiate them further.

In Customizing: under Asset Accounting (New) -> Integration with General Ledger Accounting ->
Integrated Transactions: Alternative Document Type for Accounting-Principle-Specific Documents
-> Differentiate Alternative Document Type Company Code-Dependently

Create Clearing Accounts for Non-Integrated Asset Acquisition

This step is only necessary if until now you managed your clearing accounts for the non-integrated asset
acquisition with open items (OI-managed). If the accounts were not OI-managed until now, this step is
irrelevant.

You post the vendor invoice and the capitalization of the fixed asset in two separate business transactions.
The clearing account for non-integrated asset acquisitions is OI-managed until now.

The vendor invoice is posted as until now in a document valid for all accounting principles against
the clearing account for non-integrated asset acquisitions. From a technical perspective, the
system generates a ledger-group-independent document.

For the capitalization of the asset, the system creates a separate document for each valuating part
(asset posting with capitalization of the asset) that is valid only for the given accounting principle.
This document is also posted against the clearing account for non-integrated asset acquisitions.
From a technical perspective, the system generates ledger-group-specific documents.

In future, it is no longer possible to clear the open items to the account clearing account for non-integrated
asset acquisitions. It is not possible to clear a cross-valuation document (vendor invoice) with several
valuation-specific documents (capitalization of asset).

Procedure:

We recommend that you create new accounts. You can then clear the open items already posted on the
same accounts as before.

1. Create a new G/L account clearing account for non-integrated asset acquisitions in the chart of
accounts and in the company code. If you have defined different clearing accounts for non-
integrated asset acquisitions in your account determination and depreciation areas, you must
create several.
 On the SAP Easy Access screen: Accounting -> Financial Accounting -> General Ledger -> Master
Records -> G/L Accounts -> Individual Processing -> Centrally (transaction FS00)

2. Enter this G/L account in the account determination of Asset Accounting for your chart of
accounts (offsetting account Acquisition Value).

In Customizing: under Asset Accounting (New) -> Integration with General Ledger Accounting ->
Assign G/L Accounts

3. Assign the newly created G/L accounts to your balance sheet structure.

In Customizing: under Financial Accounting (New) -> General Ledger Accounting (New) ->
Periodic Processing -> Document -> Define Financial Statement Versions

Alternatively, you can change the existing accounts in such a way (Clearing account for non-integrated
asset acquisitions) that these are line item-managed in future but no longer OI-managed.

To do this, change the G/L account master record in the SAP Easy Access menu under Accounting ->
Financial Accounting -> General Ledger -> Master Records -> G/L Accounts -> Individual Processing ->
FS00 Centrally.

Recommendation: You should clear the open items already posted before making this change.

Specify Revenue Distribution for Asset Retirement

In this step, you specify at company code level how the system is to distribute revenues arising from asset
retirements: either based on the net book value or on APC. In the standard system, the distribution is based
on the net book value.

Check the distribution of revenue for your company codes, and adjust the distribution as necessary to meet
your requirements.

In Customizing: under Asset Accounting (New) -> Transactions -> Retirements -> Gain/Loss Posting ->
Define Revenue Distribution for Fixed Asset Retirement

Post Net Book Value Instead of Gain/Loss

In this step, you specify at company code level how the system posts during an asset retirement due to
sale or scrapping. In the standard system, the system posts a gain or loss. As another option, you can
choose to post the net book value of the assets instead for a depreciation area. In that case, the system
posts the net book value to the account for clearing of revenue from asset sales or for clearing of revenue
from asset sales to affiliated companies.

Note:
This posting variant is not allowed in most countries. In some countries, such as France, however, it is a
legal requirement.

Check whether it is a legal requirement to post the net book value for individual areas, and adjust your
settings accordingly.

Check Transaction Types

If you were using transaction types that were restricted to certain depreciation areas, then you can no
longer use these transaction types. Check whether your existing transaction types that are not restricted to
depreciation areas are sufficient. Otherwise you have to create new transaction types (that correspond to
the previous restricted ones) that do not have restrictions to depreciation areas.
(To restrict a business transaction to a given valuation in new Asset Accounting, you enter a restriction to
an accounting principle or depreciation area when you post the transaction.)

Investment support and also revaluation and new valuation are an exception:

The transaction types for investment support and revaluation are automatically generated by the
system when you create a corresponding measure, and therefore are restricted to the depreciation
area to be posted to.

The transaction types for revaluation and new valuation that relate to transaction type group
81/82/89 can continue to be restricted to depreciation areas.

In Customizing: under Asset Accounting (New) -> Overview for Experts -> Check Transaction
Types

In new Asset Accounting you can flag existing transaction types as obsolete:

Transaction types that should no longer be used for postings for organizational reasons

Transaction types that you are no longer allowed to use for postings due to technical reasons as
these were restricted to certain depreciation areas in the past

If you set the obsolete indicator for a transaction type, this has the following effects:

The transaction type is no longer proposed in the input help when you make postings.

It is still used for reporting purposes though.

See also the direct help for field Transaction Type Is Obsolete.

Use

In order to be able to use new Asset Accounting in SAP Accounting powered by SAP HANA, you must
execute the following steps:

Short text
Adjust Parameters in Chart of Depreciation

Purpose
If you are already using new Asset Accounting from SAP enhancement package 7 for SAP ERP 6.0 or from
SAP Accounting powered by SAP HANA 1.0 and in future want to use SAP Accounting powered by SAP
HANA 1503 or higher, you must change the settings for posting to the general ledger as follows:
Depreciation areas for which you have so far chosen option 2 (Area Posts APC and Depreciation
Periodically) for the automatic posting indicator, must have option 4 instead (Area Posts APC Immediately,
Depreciation Periodically).

This program supports you in this migration. It does the following:

 It derives the accounting principle for a depreciation area.

For depreciation areas that have until now posted periodically, the program changes the value for
the posting indicator from 2 (Depreciation Area Posts Asset Balances and Depreciation
Periodically) to 4 (Depreciation Area Posts Asset Balances in Real Time, Depreciation
Periodically).

Features
For the depreciation areas of a chart of depreciation, the program fills the following fields of new Asset
Accounting:

Accounting principle:

For each leading depreciation area with its dependent depreciation areas, the program derives - if
not already filled - an accounting principle from the related ledger group.
Prerequisite for this: You have assigned the accounting principle to the ledger group in
Customizing.

Posting Indicator:

The program changes the value to 4 (Depreciation Area Posts Asset Balances in Real Time,
Depreciation Periodically) for all depreciation areas with the posting indicator 2 (Depreciation Area
Posts Asset Balances and Depreciation Periodically).

Selection
The chart of depreciation is available as a selection criterion.

You can choose to run the program as a test run or an update run:

We recommend that you run the program in a test run first, so that you can correct any errors
before processing the update run.

If you run the program as an update run, the system updates the tables for the depreciation areas.

Output
The program logs the results in an application log with the following ID:

Object: FIAA Asset Accounting

Subobject: 009 Miscellaneous

The processing of the charts of depreciation is displayed. As soon as an indicator or a field of the
depreciation areas changes, this is displayed in the log as a message.

A message is issued for each chart of depreciation indicating whether the program adjusted it successfully.

Activities
To adjust charts of depreciation, proceed as follows:

1. Execute the program as a test run.

2. Analyze any error messages.
 3. In case of errors, proceed as follows:
Assign an accounting principle to the ledger groups.
4. Execute the program in an update run.

You use this activity to activate new Asset Accounting in SAP Accounting powered by SAP HANA.

Requirements

You have performed the following steps from the sequence of steps listed above:

In the Customizing system: steps 1 to 6 oder

In the downstream system (test system or production system): steps 8 to 12.

The activation of the Customizing switch is transported with the import of the Customizing changes
to a downstream system.

For more information, see Prepare New Asset Accounting and Check Prerequisites for Activating
Asset Accounting (New).

Standard settings
In the Customizing system, you activate the new functions for new Asset Accounting by selecting the option
Active in the New Asset Accounting group box in this activity. When you save, the system performs various
checks before it actually saves this setting. This includes the following checks:

Have all direct postings been made to the general ledger (also called V2 postings)?

Have all periodic postings (using program RAPERB2000) to the general ledger been completed?

Are your Customizing settings consistent?

If the system has performed the checks successfully and saved the settings, new Asset Accounting is
active and you can post using the new posting logic from this point on.

New Asset Accounting is activated in the downstream systems, the test system and production system
when you also transport this setting to the respective systems. The same checks (see above) are also
performed following the transport. If these checks are not successful, the switch in this activity receives the
status Active (Posting Not Possible in Client).

Activities

Activate new Asset Accounting by selecting the option Active in the New Asset Accounting group box in
this activity and then saving.

Transport the changes to the downstream system (test system or production system) in order to set the
Customizing switch there to Active.

See also

It might be that you do not want to change the value for the Customizing switch for new Asset Accounting
and additional configuration data using a transport, but instead you want to change them directly in the
client (Customizing client or test client, for example). To do so, you can run a program to execute the check
and activation that otherwise tak place during the transport. For more information, see the documentation
of the program Check of Prerequisites for Parallel Valuation in FI-AA (New) (
RACHECK_ACTIVATION_PARVAL).

Info: Adjustments in New Asset Accounting

Use

The following activities are relevant for you if you are already using new Asset Accounting. One of the
following scenarios is applicable:

You have activated the business function FI-AA, Parallel Valuation (FIN_AA_PARALLEL_VAL) in
SAP enhancement package 7 for SAP ERP 6.0, or

you are already using SAP Accounting powered by SAP HANA 1.0with new Asset Accounting.

Note:
SAP S/4HANA contains SAP S/4HANA Finance. SAP S/4HANA Finance contains the product SAP
Accounting powered by SAP HANA. New Asset Accounting is part of SAP Accounting powered by SAP
HANA.

If you want to migrate to SAP Accounting powered by SAP HANA 1503 or higher, you must ensure that all
prerequisites are met. You must also adjust some settings in Customizing. And then you must migrate the
documents and initially set up the depreciation values of your fixed assets.
The following explanations contain only details about the prerequisites and adjustments to Customizing
settings in Asset Accounting. The migration of documents from Asset Accounting must then occur with the
migration of documents from the general ledger.

Overview of Steps

The steps differ depending on whether you are in the Customizing system or in a downstream system (test
system, production system).

Steps in the Customizing system:

10. Unlock the production system for postings

Caution:
Immediately after the installation of SAP S/4HANA (step 2 in the Customizing system or step 7 in the test
and production system), postings are no longer possible in Asset Accounting. You can post using the new
logic only after migrating your Customizing settings and transaction data (documents).

Requirements

Steps 1 and 5: Meeting Prerequisites

(Number sequence for the steps: See above.)

Check deactivated company codes

Check whether you can completely archive documents from deactivated company codes (this means
company codes that only allow subsequent reporting).

If you do not archive the documents of the company code, you must do the following:
 You must migrate the documents with the document migration; and

You must migrate the assigned chart of depreciation.

Perform a preliminary check

Before you install SAP S/4HANA, you have to ensure that the prerequisites are met. You can do this
automatically using program RASFIN_MIGR_PRECHECK for an initial check. You import the newest
version of the program using SAP Note 1939592before you install SAP S/4HANA in your system. Perform
this check in all of your systems - in the Customizing system as well as in the test system and production
system.

The individual prerequisites:

Make sure that period-end closing was performed (the following programs (among others):
RAPOST2000, RAPERB2000, reconciliation of the asset subsidiary ledger with the general ledger
(account balance list and asset balances, RAABST01, RAABST02)); if you install SAP S/4HANA or
the release upgrade at the close of the fiscal year, you should also perform year-end closing.

Lock the users to ensure that no additional postings are made.

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.

Caution:
You can only post again once the migration was successfully completed. To make sure the installation of
the migration or the release upgrade are successful, you must ensure the completeness of postings for
period-end closing before the installation or release upgrade.

You are only allowed to perform the next steps once you have made sure that your system meets the
prerequisites for installing SAP S/4HANA, by using the program mentioned above for preliminary checks,
RASFIN_MIGR_PRECHECK.

When to install SAP S/4HANA

From the point of view of Asset Accounting, you can install SAP S/4HANA at any time; however, it is a
requirement that a period-end closing must have been completed.

You need to have fully completed all periodic and current posting processes that involve Asset Accounting.
You must not make any postings during the changeover.

Activities

Steps 2 and 7: Install SAP S/4HANA

You start the installation of SAP S/4HANA and then it is no longer possible to post in Asset Accounting.
Posting is only possible again after you have completed the migration of Customizing data and transaction
data (documents).

Step 4: Adjust Customizing Settings

I. Check/create accounting principles

If until now you have been using new Asset Accounting from SAP enhancement package 7 for SAP ERP
6.0 with new General Ledger Accounting, check whether accounting principles for your leading and parallel
valuations exist in your system. If not, then create them.
You check and change Customizing for accounting principles in Customizing under Financial Accounting
(New) -> Financial Accounting Global Settings (New) -> Ledgers -> Parallel Accounting -> Define
Accounting Principles.

II. Check ledgers and ledger groups

The following applies to the ledger approach: One ledger with a ledger group has to exist in the system for
each valuation, so for the leading valuation and the parallel valuation. This is normally ledger 0L for the
leading ledger with ledger group 0L.

The following applies for the accounts approach: The leading ledger with the ledger group has to have
been created in the system. This represents your leading valuation. For each parallel valuation, you have to
create a (new) ledger group that also contains the leading ledger as a representative ledger.
The leading ledger 0L with ledger group 0L is usually created by default in the system.

Check which ledgers and ledger groups have been created and are being used in the system.

You change Customizing for ledgers in Customizing under Financial Accounting (New) -> Financial
Accounting Global Settings (New) -> Ledgers -> Define Ledgers for General Ledger Accounting.

You change Customizing for ledger groups in Customizing under Financial Accounting (New) -> Financial
Accounting Global Settings (New) -> Ledgers -> Define Ledger Group.

III. Assign accounting principles to ledger groups

Assign the accounting principle to the ledger group for each valuation that is represented by a depreciation
area in your chart of depreciation.

You change the assignment in Customizing under Financial Accounting (New) -> Financial Accounting
Global Settings (New) -> Ledgers -> ->Parallel Accounting -> Assign Accounting Principle to Ledger
Groups.

IV. Define settings for the journal entry of the ledger

Check the assignment of the accounting principle for the combination of ledger and company code in
Customizing under Define Settings for Journal Entry of Ledger.

V. Adjust parameters in chart of depreciation

You can either migrate the charts of depreciation automatically using the program, or adjust them manually.

You adjust the parameters in your active charts of depreciation in Customizing for Asset Accounting (new)
under Adjust Parameters in Chart of Depreciation.

Then call the log to check whether the changes are complete.

Other Activities

If until now you were using new Asset Accounting from SAP enhancement package 7 for SAP ERP 6.0 with
new General Ledger Accounting and used the Business Add-In (BAdI) Restrict Transaction Types to
Depreciation Areas, you must now check your transaction types and - if necessary - create new
transaction types without restrictions on depreciation areas.

Check your transaction types in Customizing under Asset Accounting (New) -> Overview for Experts ->
Check Transaction Types.

You can flag transaction types that you are no longer allowed to use for postings due to technical reasons,
as these were restricted to certain depreciation areas in the past, as obsolete.
If you set the obsolete indicator for a transaction type, this has the following effects:

The transaction type is no longer proposed in the input help when you make postings.

It is still used for reporting purposes though.

See also the direct help for field Transaction Type Is Obsolete.

Adjust Parameters in Chart of Depreciation

Use

You are already using new Asset Accounting. This activity supports you in adjusting the parameters for
charts of depreciation.

You can use this activity, if necessary, to make the following adjustments:

Assign accounting principle:

An accounting principle is assigned to each depreciation area, even the non-posting depreciation
areas. The system derives the accounting principle from the relevant ledger group that is already
assigned to the depreciation area.
Note the following: For each set of depreciation areas that is assigned to the same accounting
principle, only one depreciation area is allowed to manage acquisition and production costs (APC)
and have the option Area Posts in Realtime or Area Posts APC Immediately, Depreciation
Periodically.

Change posting indicator for posting to the general ledger for depreciation areas that until now
posted periodically:

The system changes the settings for posting in the general ledger as follows: Depreciation areas
that represent reserves for special depreciation, for example, in future post immediately to the
general ledger and receive the option Depreciation Area Posts Balance Sheet Value Immediately,
Depreciation Periodically.

Requirements

You have made sure that the following prerequisites are met:

Before installing SAP S/4HANA:

o All periodical APC postings are completed (program RAPERB2000), and there are no
update terminations from direct postings in the system.

After installing SAP S/4HANA:

o You have checked the accounting principles and created new ones, if necessary.

o You have checked the ledgers and ledger groups.

o You have assigned the accounting principles to ledger groups.

o You have assigned a ledger and an accounting principle to the company codes used in
Asset Accounting.

For more information about prerequisites, see Info: Adjustments in new Asset Accounting.
Activities

1. Adjust the parameters for one or more charts of depreciation in a test run first.
2. Check the applicable log, and correct the errors.
3. Perform the activity in an update run.

You can display the log of the test run or update run about the adjustments made in Customizing for Asset
Accounting (new) under Display Migration Log.

Check adjusted charts of depreciation or adjust the parameters for the charts of depreciation
manually.

You have to adjust the charts of depreciation manually in the following cases:

The parameters of your chart of depreciation could not be adjusted automatically because the
starting situation defined in your system is not recognized by the program.

You want to adjust the parameters of the charts of depreciation manually in any case.

You have charts of depreciation in your system that are assigned to a deactivated company code.
This means they are assigned to a company code that only allows subsequent reporting. The data
of this deactivated company code is still not archived; it must therefore be migrated with the
document migration. You must therefore definitely migrate this chart of depreciation manually.

This is possible at any time by making the following settings in Customizing for Asset Accounting (New):

1. Assign accounting principles and ledger groups to depreciation areas:

under Asset Accounting (New) -> Valuation -> Depreciation Areas -> Define Depreciation Areas
2. Change settings for posting to the general ledger for depreciation areas that until now posted
periodically:
under Asset Accounting (New) -> Valuation -> Depreciation Areas -> Define Depreciation Areas

You can also use these activites, if you want to check the Customizing settings after the parameters of the
charts of depreciation have been adjusted automatically.
