AS01 vs AS91
This question is answered

Hi All,

I have an easy question (I'm a developer, not functional). When do you use AS01 or AS91? What is the
difference?

one thing i forgot to add is that AS91 only
impacts the subledger, there is no GL impact.
Where as AS01method will automatically
update GL. After loading assets with AS91.
We need to load GL balances separately

Thanks,

Zaid

Its like asking what is the difference between a structure and a table just kidding. I
am learning ABAP and have been asking such questions.

you use AS01 when you are crating new assets. AS01 only creates the shell, the cost of
the asset is added in a different step ( many ways to do that)

AS91 is used when you are migrating data from a legacy system. AS91 data will show
separately on your reports ( History sheet) compared to assets created via AS01

Thanks,

Zaid

Hi Zaid,

Thanks for the quick response. Our key FA guy retired and actually, I'm the front for the
business. We do have a couple more specific questions

1. What do you mean that AS01 will not show up in your asset history but AS91 will?

2. Here is the scenario - I purchased a new plant with 3,000 asset that were never in MY
asset system. Would I use AS01 or AS91? If I used AS01 could I run an asset history and
would they show? I would be putting them into a new location that has no assets. If I
included cost dollars, would I use AS91?

3. Per you response, if I am creating assets and putting prior years depreciation (tax
books) then I would use AS91, correct?

Thanks,

Greg

Hi Greg,

https://archive.sap.com/discussions/thread/1428556 3/6

Asset created via AS91 will show in your history sheet in the
beginning balance, assets using AS01 will show under current year
acquisitions. If you purchased new plants that were never in your
asset system and you are brining values as of a xxx ( date on which
you extracted values from the legacy system you would use AS91.
Once these balances have been reconciled with the legacy system
going forward you would use AS01 and then add value by ABZE or
Ko88 etc depending on your business process.

Good timing by your asset guy, he retired and i will be looking for a

job shortly

Feel free to get back with any questions.

Thanks,

Zaid

I am reading your post from 2009, where you suggest using AS91
when you buy a new plant and want to bring their assets into SAP.
Do you recommend this when the new plant is going to be part of

Hi

AS91 is for legacy data transfer.With the help of this tcode you can
create a legacy asset and upload the transactional data.

It will update only Asset accounting and to update FI seperate

takeover JV is required via OASV or through trial takeover process.

This transaction can only be used till the time company code status
is 'test' in asset accounting after completion of migration company
code status must be changed to '0' Asset data transfer completed -
to avoide inconsistencies in dep calculations. After this system will
not allow to use AS91/AS92 or OASV untill we will remove the
status back to test.

AS01 is to create a new Asset in the SAP live system which was
never in the system.It will create a new Asset Master in live system
and to update values for this asset have to use standard
transactions available for asset postings .Standard asset
transactions will update asset accounting as well as FI ledgers.

Cheers

Mukta
