In this IMG activity, you have to define for your leading ledger the document types for the documents. You
do this in the entry view and assign at the same time a number range interval to the document types.
C:\Documents and
Settings\i029638\Desktop\doc type list.doc
Document types have to be defined for each of the non-leading ledgers. These are required for the postings
to be made into these ledgers for providing the general ledger view of the transactions. The document types
are assigned to each of the non-leading ledgers with a separate number range for each one. For the sake of
uniformity, the number ranges assigned have been retained similar to those defined for the entry view
except in the case of external number ranges. For those document types that have external number ranges
in the entry view, the same ranges have been maintained for the non-leading ledgers but with internal
numbers defined for each.

Client dependent settings: Yes / No
Active Settings:
A number range must be assigned to each document type in the SAP System. Via the document
types, you distinguish the postings according to the different business transactions, for example
customer payment, vendor credit memo, and so on. To store documents separately according to
document types, you must assign a separate number range to each document type.
In the following activities:
• You can determine which intervals of document number ranges are to be copied from
one company code into another.
• You can determine which intervals of document number ranges are to be copied from
one fiscal year into another.
In this activity you create number ranges for documents. For each number range you specify
(among other things):
You assign one or more document types to each number range. The number range becomes
effective via the document type specified in document entry and posting.
Number ranges X3 and X4 have been defined as External number ranges for assignment to the
RE and RV document type postings respectively to originate from MM and SD modules
respectively. This has been done to ensure that the accounting document in FI takes the same
number as the documents generated for the invoice verification in MM and the billing document
raised in SD.

and the account.
The system also prevents the update objects from being changed in documents which have already been
posted, independent of the document change rules. Update objects are elements in the system for which
transaction figures or line items are updated, for example, business area or cost centers (if cost center
accounting is used in the SAP system). Update objects are entered as additional account assignments
during posting.

account
• the maximum cash discount percentage the employee can grant in a line item

Payment differences are posted automatically within certain tolerance groups. This way the
system can post the difference by correcting the cash discount or by posting to a separate
expense or revenue account.
In this respect you define:
• up to which difference amounts the system is to correct the cash discount. In this case
the cash discount is automatically increased or decreased by the difference. using
tolerance groups.
You can also additionally differentiate these settings by company code. Since the same rules
usually apply to a group of employees, enter the values for employee groups. You can then enter

You only need to carry out the following activity if you are implementing FI together with SD.
Withholding tax in FI is determined from the combination of withholding tax type and withholding tax code
per customer/vendor. In contrast, the withholding tax in SD is determined from the combination of
withholding tax condition type and withholding tax code per material. It is therefore necessary to assign the
withholding tax types from FI to the withholding tax condition types from SD.
You can use the condition types in SD to represent the withholding tax per customer and per material item.
When posting from SD to FI, the system then carries out the following conversions:
• The withholding tax condition type is converted into the withholding tax type.
• Material items with different combinations of withholding tax condition type and withholding tax
code are converted to different customer items

accounting (New) Business Transaction Document Splitting
Active Settings:
You can use the document splitting procedure to split up line items for selected dimensions (such as
receivable lines by profit center) or to effect a zero balance setting in the document for selected dimensions
(such as segment). This generates additional clearing lines in the document. Using the document splitting
procedure ensures that you can draw up complete financial statements for the selected dimensions at any
time.
You can choose between displaying the document with the generated clearing lines either in its original form
in the entry view or from the perspective of a ledger in the general ledger view.
For document splitting to be possible, the individual document items and the documents must be classified.
Each classification corresponds to a rule in which it is specified how document splitting is to occur and for
which line items.
SAP delivers a set of standard rules that should usually prove sufficient. If not, you can define your own set
of rules and adapt these according to your needs.

Active Settings:
Each business transaction that is entered is analyzed during the document splitting procedure. In this
analysis, the system determines for each line item whether it is an item that remains unchanged or an item
that should be split.
In order that document splitting recognizes how the individual document items are to be handled, you need
to classify them. You do this by assigning them to an item category. The item category is determined by the
account number. In this IMG activity, you need to assign the following accounts in the system:
• Revenue account
• Expense account
The classification of all other accounts is known to the system, so you do not have to enter them here. You
can enter an account interval since the system recognizes SAP-specific classifications and does not allow
SAP settings to be overwritten by your own settings.

Classify Document Types for Document Splitting
Active Settings:
Every business transaction that is entered is analyzed during the document splitting process. In this process,
the system determines which splitting rule is applied to the document. In order that the system can
determine the splitting rule, you must assign a business transaction variant to each document type.
To ensure that a splitting rule is used appropriately, the relevant documents must meet certain requirements.
These requirements relate in particular to certain item categories that either must or must not be available.
This information is specified for each business transaction variant and is checked against the current
document during posting. If the document does not meet these requirements, the system rejects the
posting.
Example
The accounting transaction 0200 (customer invoice), variant 0001 (standard), is delivered. In this accounting
transaction, the following item categories are allowed: customer, value added tax, withholding tax, expense,
revenue, exchange rate differences, and company code clearing.
Standard settings
SAP includes business transactions in the standard system. The item categories that are allowed for each
accounting transaction are also defined. Accounting transaction variants are also included. These are
additional limitations of the accounting transaction.
You cannot define additional business transactions. However, you can define your own business
transaction variants to the the standard business transactions.
Activities
Assign your document types to an accounting transaction and a business transaction variant.

When valuating open items the system posts to a balance sheet adjustment account and to an account for
exchange rate differences that occur during the valuation. Exchange rate differences could be either a gain
or a loss. You store the account numbers accordingly.
The valuation of foreign currency balances requires a special key that is assigned the gain and loss
accounts for posting any exchange rate differences that occur during valuation. You can freely define this
key. You then enter it in the master records of the accounts that you want to valuate. To post the differences
that are determined from a group of G/L accounts to the same gain or loss accounts, enter the same key for

Client dependent settings: Yes / No
Active Settings:
In this step, you define the asset classes. The asset class is the most important criteria for structuring fixed
assets from an accounting point of view. Every asset has to be assigned to exactly one asset class. The
asset class is used to assign the assets (and their business transactions) to the correct general ledger
accounts. Several asset classes can use the same account assignment. You can see that it is possible to
make finer distinctions at the level of the asset class than at the level of the general ledger accounts. The
most important tasks of the asset classes are:
• the assignment of default values when creating assets (particularly depreciation terms)
You define the asset classes in the system in a series of steps. The asset class is structured in three parts:
• control parameters
You can assign depreciation terms to an asset class for any number of charts of depreciation. This
makes it possible to manage an asset class catalog that is valid for an entire corporate group,
independent of the country-specific charts of depreciation.
In this step, you define the asset classes and their control parameters. In further steps, you add further to
the asset classes by supplying default values for certain logical field groups in the asset master record.

asset class are as follows

Generally, the control specification (the screen layout and the account determination) for the asset class

specifications once per asset class.
You only need to carry out this step, if, contrary to the usual case, you want these control specifications to
be country-specific (that is, different depending on the chart of depreciation). The system then uses the
entries you make here depending on the chart of depreciation in the given company code. The system then
ignores the control specifications in the asset class that are independent of the chart of depreciation.

Asset depreciation is a two step process in the system.
1. First, the system determines the planned depreciation values for the fiscal year for each asset.
2. Posting these values to the expense accounts in Financial Accounting is carried out using batch
input. You have to initiate this batch input posting. It is one of the periodic processes in the system.

they can be default values from the asset class.
In this step, you determine the depreciation terms that are to be used in your asset classes. Depending on
the definition in the screen layout control used, these depreciation terms are offered either as optional or
mandatory defaults when you create an asset.
For each asset class, you can maintain as many charts of depreciation with their depreciation areas as you
need. This allows you to use the asset class in all countries belonging to the client.

The fiscal year version defines the number and relation to the calendar of the depreciation periods in the
fiscal year in Asset Accounting. Asset Accounting generally uses the same fiscal year version as Financial
Accounting (general ledger). In this case, the depreciation periods of Asset Accounting correspond to the
posting periods of Financial Accounting (without special periods). The system therefore automatically
defaults the fiscal year version of FI-GL when you define the FI-AA system settings for a company code.
You do not need to make any system settings in this section if your depreciation periods and G/L posting
periods are identical.
In some cases, however, the G/L posting periods are not suitable for determining depreciation in Asset
Accounting. In this step, you define the FI-AA-specific fiscal year versions when this is the case.

For certain types of valuation, it makes sense, or is legally required, that you end depreciation when a
certain value is reached. You can enter an absolute scrap value in the asset master record. Or you can
enter a percentage scrap value (cut-off value) in the calculation key.
In this step, you define the calculation key for automatically determining scrap values. For each calculation
key, you can specify
• the percentage of the depreciation base that should be used as the cut-off value percentage
• whether the cut-off value percentage should be deducted at the start or the end of the calculation of
depreciation
• at what point in time the system should start calculating the validity period
You can enter several cut-off percentages for each scrap value key. You can define the cut-off
percentages/levels per acquisition year, and the validity period can be of any length.
Here only 95% of the value of the asset has to be depreciated. So cut off value key has been created with
5% as scrap. Following key is used for cut off value.
