Difference between Clear and Payments Apart from processing open items, what is the difference between: 1. Accounting-->FA-->AR-->Document entry-->Incoming payment > F-28 and 2. Accounting-->FA-->AR-->Account-->Clear F-32 and the difference between F-53 a nd F-44 in AP. When you post a transaction, you will get a Accounting document. If you are crea ting a payment document through F-53 or F-58 without linking the Accounting docu ment, than we have to create a link between the accounting document and payment document and that can be done through F-32 (for GL) and F-44 (for AP). An good e xample is when we make down payment, a payment document is created. If we post t he invoice, an accounting document is created. To clear this payment document an d accounting document, F-44 is used. - F-28 will be used to make trasactions for income payments. Eg: If you receive from a customer by using above T code will be passed necess ary entries. - F-32 will used used for clear the Customer line items. - F-53 will be used for making payments to vendors. - F-44 will be used for clearing the Vendor Line items. Tips by : Suresh, Ramesh An asset class is the main criterion for classifying fi xed assets according to legal and management requirements. The asset class controls parameters and default values for asset masters. Each asset master record must be assigned to one asset class. May be you are going in the wrong way. e.g. Asset purchased on 01.01.2011 for INR 10000 The same has been sold on 31.01.2011 for INR 8000 Here the accounting entry is Dr Customer 8000 Cr. Sales interim account 8000 Dr Acc.depreciation 500(assumption) Cr Asset 10000 Dr Sales interim account 8000 Dr Loss on asset sale 1500 here accumulated depreciation account will show 500 Dr until you execute depreci ation for the sold asset After depreciation execution Dr Depreciation account 500 Cr Acc. dep 500 Now the balance of acc.dep account is nil. http://accountingexplained.com/financial/non-current-assets/revaluation-of-fixed -assets http://moneyterms.co.uk/revaluation-reserve/ http://www.caclubindia.com/articles/revaluation-of-assets-73.asp http://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1945410 http://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1945410

The depreciation is usually calculated taking into account the economic life of the asset, expected value of the asset at the end of its economic life (junk / scrap value), method of depreciation calculation (straight line method, declin ing balance, sum of year digits, double declining, etc.), and the defined percen tage decline in the value of the asset every year (20%, or 15%, and so on). The depreciation can either be planned or unplanned. Planned depreciation is one which brings down the value of the asset after every planned period; say every month, until the asset value is fully depreciated ove r its life period. With this method, you will know what the value of the asset a t any point of time in its active life. On the contrary, unplanned depreciation is a sudden happening of an event or occ urrence not foreseen (there could be a sudden break out of a fire damaging an as set, which forces you to depreciate fully as it is no longer useful economically ) resulting in a permanent reduction of the value of the asset. In SAP, you will come across three types of depreciation: 1.Ordinary depreciation, which is nothing but planned depreciation. View Wiki Markup

2.Special depreciation, which is over and above ordinary depreciation, used normal ly for taxation purposes. 3.Unplanned depreciation, which is the result of reducing the asset value due to the sudden occurrence of certain events.

OAMK Set Reconciliation Accounts (Manually) Set Company Code Status: SAP Reference IMG > Financial Accounting > Asset Accounting > Asset Data Transfe r > Set Company Code Status You use this indicator to specify the status of the company code from the point of view of Asset Accounting: Test status - You can change values by transferring asset data from a previous system, or by posting. Transfer status - You can enter and change values by transferring asset data f rom a previous system, but posting is not possible. Production status - The asset data transfer is complete. You can only change v alues by posting. Before the system goes live, it is essential that you set the system status to "production" (not test). This rule applies even if you transfer asset data from your previous system i n several phases over the course of time. If you do transfer data in this way, y ou have to temporarily remove the "production" setting of the the company code s tatus. Company code status is generally set to '2' for conversion purposes. This identi fies the company code as being in test with data transfer always allowed. This s hould be the start-up position for the asset company codes. In the Production system, this setting should be changed to "0 Asset data transf er completed" once all data takeover activities are completed for each company c ode. Once the SAP company code has had at least one Quarter end reported and verified after go-live, and the assets data is deemed stable, the company code status wi ll be set to '0'. 0 Asset data transfer completed 1 Asset data transfer not yet completed 2 Test company code with data transfer always allowed 3 Company code deactivated - reporting allowed Specify Sequence of Depreciation Areas: SAP Reference IMG > Financial Accounting > Asset Accounting > Asset Data Transfe r > Specify Sequence of Depreciation Areas In this field you define the order in which you want to update depreciation area s with values during legacy data transfer. You determine this sequence by enteri ng a relative number in this field. During the transfer of legacy data, the first depreciation area to be transferre d is generally the book depreciation area. In this step, the sequence of the depreciation areas for the data takeover trans action is specified. If there are additional depreciation areas for local / fisc al purposes, the sequence for the depreciation areas may be impacted. Specify Transfer Date/Last Closed Fiscal Year: SAP Reference IMG > Financial Accounting > Asset Accounting > Asset Data Transfe r > Parameters for Data Transfer > Date Specifications > Specify Transfer Date/L ast Closed Fiscal Year Status In this step, the asset transfer date for conversions is specified. This setting is maintained in each client to facilitate test conversion activities. This configuration is mostly maintained directly in each client. You have to ent er this date before starting the asset data transfer. In most cases, the transfe

r date will be the last day of a fiscal year. All transactions starting in the n ew fiscal year are then carried out only in SAP Asset Accounting. The values tra nsferred are the cumulative values at the end of the fiscal year. The transfer date can also be during the fiscal year. When the transfer date is within the fiscal year, the values transferred are the values as they stand at t he end of the last closed fiscal year before the transfer date. The transactions since the start of the current fiscal year, however, also have to be transferre d. This is necessary in order to create the asset history sheet. This field is only ready for input if the company code is not yet live. The syst em uses this date to determine the last closed fiscal year. Specify Last Period Posted in Prv. System (Transf. During FY): SAP Reference IMG > Financial Accounting > Asset Accounting > Asset Data Transfe r > Parameters for Data Transfer > Date Specifications > Specify Last Period Pos ted in Prv. System (Transf. During FY) The following step is only necessary if you want to perform an old assets data t akeover during the fiscal year. In this case, you must specify the period up to which depreciation was posted in the previous system. This period refers to the posted depreciation that is to be transferred during old assets data takeover. In this field, the system enters the period, for which depreciation was last pos ted. If the legacy data transfer is carried out during the fiscal year, you must update this field manually. This field is not available for input if there is no legacy data transfer during the fiscal year, or if depreciation is not posted in this depreciation area. If the asset takeover date is during a fiscal year, e.g. 31.03.2006, then the la st period in which depreciation postings were made in the legacy system must be specified. This setting is maintained in each client. This configuration is maintained directly in each client. Transfer Foreign Currency Areas: SAP Reference IMG > Financial Accounting > Asset Accounting > Asset Data Transfe r > Options > Transfer Foreign Currency Areas. You only need to carry out this step if you manage depreciation areas in foreign currencies. In this step, you determine that foreign currency areas can receive values durin g old assets data takeover. Then the depreciation areas are not supplied with va lues from another area by the system, although they are defined as dependent are as by the Customizing settings. This specification can only be made for areas th at are managed in foreign currency. Using this indicator, you specify that you will provide values for the foreign c urrency area during the legacy data transfer. The system then does not provide v alues itself for the area (by taking over values from another area, with no chan ges allowed) as it normally would. You can only make an entry in this field for an area which is managed in foreign currency. For any Depreciation area with foregin currency values fixed at the Group Rate a s at the takeover date, the takeover values for this depreciation area is calcul ated manually/automation tool. Please note that if any change to depreciation area sequence is undertaken, that the manually input flag will change position and will require updating. Recalculate Deprecation for Previous Years:

SAP Reference IMG > Financial Accounting > Asset Accounting > Asset Data Transfe r > Parameters for Data Transfer > Options > Recalculate Depreciation for Previo us Years Set this indicator if you want the system to newly calculate accumulated depreci ation from past years during the legacy asset data transfer. You can recalculate the accumulated depreciation from the past, based on SAP dep reciation rules, when a depreciation area is newly entered the values from a dep reciation area should be recalculated in the R/3 system.for example, conversion data is not available for this depreciation area for these assets This recalculation is based on the condition that the acquisition value was acqu ired completely at the time of capitalization. However, for the book depreciatio n area, this is only possible in company codes that are still in test mode. You can also recalculate accumulated past depreciation for individual assets usi ng the transaction "change old assets" (Function: recalculate values) after the takeover of data from your previous system. Set Reconciliation Accounts (Manually) : SAP Reference IMG > Financial Accounting > Asset Accounting > Preparing for Prod uction Startup > Set Reconciliation Accounts - TCODE: OAMK (OAK5 - for automatic ally set) This step is required for conversion purposes. Carried out directly in client du ring cutover. By default the relevant GL accounts will have been created as reco nciliation accounts. As part of the conversion, the flag is removed from the GL accounts per asset class per company code. After the balances have been loaded, the reconciliation flag is reset. OAMK allows this to be carried out manually. O nce they are set as reconciliation accounts, the system will only post to them v ia Asset Accounting from this point onwards. This is maintainable in each clien t except production where this step is managed by the cutover strategy.
