COMPANY CONFIGURATION
1.
Creating Company
For doing the configuration we use the following path on the SAP application screen:SAP Menu Tools Accelerated SAP Customizing SPRO Edit
Project
Configuration for all the modules will be done here. The above path will
not be referred henceforth; we will directly refer to the IMG node.
A Company is an organizational unit in Accounting which represents a Business
Organization according to the requirements of commercial law in a particular country.
In the SAP system, consolidation functions in financial accounting are based on
companies. A company can comprise one or more company codes.

IMG Enterprise Structure Definition Financial Accounting Define


Company.

2. Credit Control Areas


The Credit Control Area is an organizational unit that specifies and checks a credit limit for
customers.

A credit control area can include one or more Company Codes. It is not possible to
assign a company code to more than one credit control area. Within a credit control
area, the credit limits must be specified in the same currency.

3. Creating company code


Company code is the basic organizational unit in SAP FI (Financial accounting) for
which a balance sheet and profit & loss account can be drawn. We create company
code KW24 (RIL Ltd.) which is located in country India.

1. Maintain Field Status Variants


You can define and edit field status variants and groups. You group several field
status groups together in one field status variant. You assign the field status
variants to a company code in the activity Assign Company Code to Field
Status Variants . This allows you to work with the same field status groups in
any number of company codes.
You can also define and process field status groups. You must define a field status
group in the company code-specific area of each G/L account. The field status group
determines which fields are ready for input, which are required entry fields, and
which are hidden during document entry. Bear in mind that additional account
assignments (i.e. cost centers or orders) are only possible if data can be entered in
the corresponding fields.
Field status variant 0001 is entered for company code K W 2 4 in the standard SAP
software. Field status groups are already defined for this variant.
The field status group you enter in the reconciliation accounts affects postings
to the related customer or vendor accounts. You cannot enter a field status group in
the customer or vendor accounts. Field status groups are determined
for
customer
and
vendor
accounts
from
their
respective
reconciliation
accounts, via the G/L account number in their master records.
There are other factors, besides the field status group itself, which have an
influence on the field status. Among these are:
The field status defined for the posting key.
The status "optional entry field" was assigned to posting keys 40 and 50 in the

standard system. These are the standard posting keys for G/L
postings. The "optional entry field" status has no effect on the field status.

Define Ledgers for General Ledger Accounting:


You define the ledgers that you use in General Ledger Accounting. The ledgers are
based on a totals table.

The following types of ledgers are available:

Leading Ledger

The leading ledger is based on the same accounting principle as the of the
consolidated financial statement. It is integrated with all subsidiary ledgers and is
updated in all company codes. You must designate one ledger as the leading ledger.
In each company code, the leading ledger automatically receives the settings that
apply to that company code: the currencies, the fiscal year variant, and the variant of
the posting periods.

Non-Leading Ledger
The non-leading ledgers are parallel ledgers to the leading ledger.
You must activate a non-leading ledger by company code.

For each ledger that you create, a ledger group of the same name automatically created.

IMG Financial Accounting(New) Financial Accounting Basic


Settings(New) Ledgers Ledgers Define Ledgers for General Ledger
Accounting.

Define and Activate Non-Leading Ledgers


you make the following settings for the non-leading ledgers for each company code:

You activate the non-leading ledgers in the company code.

You can define additional currencies beyond that of the leading ledger. The first
currency of a non-leading ledger is always the currency of the leading ledger (and
hence that of the company code). For the second and third currencies of a nonleading ledger, you can only use currency types that you have specified for the
leading ledger.

You can define a fiscal year variant that differs from that of the leading ledger. If
you do not enter a fiscal year variant, the fiscal year variant of the company
code is used automatically.

You can define the following characteristics for a fiscal year variant in SAP.
How many posting periods a fiscal year has, how many special periods you
need, how the system is to determine the posting periods when posting
When defining your fiscal year, you have the following options:

Your fiscal year is the calendar year


In this case, you must only select the Calendar year field.

Your fiscal year is not the same as the calendar year and is not year
dependent

In this case, you first enter the number of your posting periods in the Number
posting per. field. To define your posting periods, select your fiscal year variant and
select Periods on the navigation screen. On this screen, enter the month and the day
of the period end and the period in each case.

Your fiscal year is not the same as the calendar year and is yeardependent.

Enter the number of your posting periods in the field Number posting periods and
select the field Year-dependent. To define your posting periods, select your
fiscal year variant and select Periods on the navigation screen. The system asks
for which calendar year your year- dependent fiscal year variant is valid. You
then enter the month and day of the period end for each of your periods,
and the periods themselves.
You can use the standard fiscal year variant K4 in SAP where the financial
accounting year corresponds January to December
In case the financial accounting year is April to March, you can use the standard fiscal
year variant V3 in SAP

In our Company Code we have used the fiscal year variant K4 for the Leading
Ledger(0L)

Open and Close Posting Periods


In this activity you specify for each variant which posting periods are open for
posting in SAP. Two intervals are available for doing this (period 1 and period 2). For
every interval, enter a lower period limit, an upper period limit and the fiscal year.
You close periods by selecting the period specifications so that the periods to be closed
are no longer contained.

differentiate business transactions and control document filing.
You specify a number range for each document type. Document numbers are chosen
from this number range. You can use one number range for several document
types.
Document types are valid for all clients. You specify a number range key for each
document type. You create the desired number range intervals for each number
range key based on the company code. This means that you can specify
intervals of different sizes for the same number range.

IMG Financial Accounting(New) Financial Accounting Basic


Settings(New) Document Document Types Define Document Types for

For the Company Code KW24 we have used some Standard Document Types,

Define document types for General Ledger View


In this IMG activity, you define for non-leading ledgers the document
types for the
documents in the General Ledger view. At the same time,
you assign for each
document type a number range to be applied in the
assignment of document
numbers:

You do not need to make these settings for your leading ledger because, in the
case of this ledger, the document number in the entry view always corresponds to
the document number in the general ledger view.

You only have to make these settings for any non-leading ledgers that have a fiscal
year variant that differs in at least one company code from the fiscal year variant of
the leading ledger in this company code. In this case, the document number in the
entry view does not correspond to the document number in the general ledge view
and you have to define a separate document type with document number
assignment for the general ledger view. For all non-leading ledgers that, in the
company code to which the postings are made, have a fiscal year variant
corresponding to the fiscal year variant of the leading ledger in this company code,
the document number in the entry view always corresponds to the document
number in the general ledger view.
16

Define document types for Entry View in One Ledger


Here, you make the settings specifying the document type for postings to non-leading
ledgers.
Under Define Document Types for Entry View, you make the document type
settings for postings in the entry view that effect all ledgers and for postings to the
leading ledger.
By segregating the ledger-related postings (here, for the non-leading ledgers) in a
separate number range, you ensure the contiguous assignment of document numbers
at the ledger level for each number range.
Within a ledger group, the representative ledger determines the document types and
number ranges applied. For this reason, you cannot perform this IMG activity for a
ledger group.
If you use a ledger group to make account assignments for postings, it is only possible
to verify that document numbers are assigned contiguously at the ledger level for the
representative ledger.

Document Number Ranges for Data Entry View
Here we create the number ranges for documents. For each number range you
specify:

17

a number interval from which document numbers are selected

the type of number assignment (internal or external)

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.
You can use one number range for several document types. This means you
can
differentiate documents by document type but combine them again for
filing the
original documents, provided you store your original documents under the EDP
document number.
Number ranges for documents are company code-dependent. You must
therefore create your number ranges for each company code in which the
document type is used, namely with the same number range key.

The number intervals must not overlap. If you use year-dependent number
ranges, you can specify the same interval with the same key several times for
different "to- fiscal years" (the limit up to which a number range is still valid). If you
want to define number ranges, which are independent of the to-fiscal year,
enter 9999 in the to- fiscal year field.
For sample documents, use a number range with key X2, for recurring entry
documents with key X1. These keys may not be used for other number
ranges.

Define Tolerance Groups for Employees
We need to predefine various amount limits for our employees with which we
determine:

the maximum document amount the employee is authorized to post

the maximum amount the employee can enter as a line item in a


customer or vendor account

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

the maximum acceptable tolerance for payment differences for the


employee.

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:

the amounts or percentage rates up to which the system is to


automatically post to a separate expense or revenue account if it is not
possible to correct the cash discount or

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 amount limits and tolerances per
employee group and company code.
You can also define tolerances without specifying a tolerance group. Leave
the field Grp empty in this case. The stored tolerances are then valid for all
employees who are not allocated to a group. There must be at least one entry
for every company code.
You can also specify tolerances for clearing procedures depending on your
customers
or
vendors.
The
lower
limits
from
the
customer/vendor specifications and employee group are taken in each case during
clearing.
In our example we will define a blank tolerance group for company code KW24. You
can you use existing tolerance group from the sample company code.

Create Chart of accounts


For each company code in SAP, you have to specify one chart of accounts for the
general ledger. This chart of accounts is assigned to the company code. A chart of
accounts can be used by multiple company codes. This means that the general
ledgers of these company codes have identical GL structure.
Here we define just a chart of accounts code in SAP. The GL codes are not
defined here.

Define Account Group


In order to organize and manage a large number of G/L accounts better in
SAP, they are arranged in account groups.
The accounts of an account group normally have similar business functions. You
could, for example, have an account group for cash accounts, one for
expense accounts, one for revenue accounts, and one for other balance sheet
accounts, etc.
Further you can control the numbering and restrict the creation of the GL
codes within the specified number range.
Here you can copy from the account group delivered by SAP for INT chart of
accounts or you can create new account group required as per customer
requirement.

At the end of a fiscal year, the system carries forward the balance of the P&L
account to the retained earnings account in SAP. You can define one or more P&L

Creating Balance sheet and Profit and Loss account

1. Define Financial Statement Version (FSV)


You define the versions you need to create a balance sheet and profit
and loss statement. You can create number of financial statement versions
for your chart of accounts one for the local reporting, one for parent reporting.
In each version you can group the GL codes differently.
You can define versions for a specific chart of accounts, for a group chart of
accounts, or without any specific assignment.
You then determine the financial statement items for your version.
You assign groups of accounts to the items at the lowest levels of the
hierarchy. You can select the criteria that determine which items the accounts are
displayed in. For example, accounts or groups of accounts can be
assigned to particular items based on their balance.
Alternatively, you can also assign functional area intervals at the lowest level
of the structure, instead of account intervals. Either account intervals or
functional area intervals can be assigned to a financial statement item. You
must explicitly define financial statement versions to which functional areas
are assigned as such. You do this by setting the "Fun.area allowed" indicator.
This financial statement version can then also be used by the notes to
financial statement in the G/L account information system.

INTRODUCTION
Having configured the FI- GL component, we now need to configure the
second important module Accounts Receivable (AR) and Accounts Payable
(AP) of SAP. The AR and AP acts as sub ledger to FI- GL for managing the
balances of Customers and Vendors. The AR and AP components store all
the information and balance details for customer and vendor. Data is updated
from AR and AP in real time to the FI-GL module. Most of the Data in
AP module is obtained from the Materials Management (MM) module.
Similarly most of the Data in AR module is obtained from the Sales and
Distribution module.
Here we see the configuration for AR and AP and also cover the configuration for
Automatic payment program.

Define Account Groups with Screen Layout (Customers)
When creating a customer account, you must specify an account group. You use
the account group to determine:

the interval for the account numbers

whether the number is assigned internally by the system or externally by


the user (type of number assignment)

whether it is a one-time account

which fields are ready for input or must be filled when creating and
changing master records (field status)

advice notes (for checks, for example), but can do so if desired.

If there is no space available, a payment advice note containing all the


information about the purpose of payment is always printed (for bills of

If only limited space is available and there is therefore a risk that the
space will not be sufficient, you can choose from the following options:

You can have the system create a payment advice note


containing the information about the note to payee.
If a payment advice note is to be created every time, select

transactions that you process with your bank. It includes the management of
bank Master data, the creation and processing of incoming and outgoing
payments. All country specific characteristics such as the specifications

Manual Bank Statement


Manual bank statement In case the bank is not able to give an electronic
statement then the statement can be manually entered in the manual bank
statement and uploaded.
In our scenario we have the following bank GL codes (Sub accounts) for our
Main Bank ( SBI bank, Main account a/c)::
Checks issued out to vendors will be credited to GL code 203241
,DIGWAL and check issued out, which is a clearing account.

SBI Bank

Similarly checks received from customer are debited to GL code 203242


SBI check received, which is a clearing account.
When the bank statement is manually feeded in SAP the following will happen:For checks issued out based on checks cleared in the bank account the
following entry will be passed automatically.
GL code account description
Debit /Credit
150361
SBI check issued out
Debit
150360 SBI bank Main account a/c Credit
For checks received in based on checks cleared in the bank account the
following entry will be passed automatically.
GL code account description
Debit /Credit
150362
SBI check received
Credit
150360
SBI bank Main account a/c Debit
Thus after feeding the bank statement in the system, the Main bank
account i.e. GL code 150360
SBI bank Main account a/c will exactly
match with the balance shown in the bank. All the clearing accounts having
balances will be the reconciliation items.

Asset Accounting

INTRODUCTION
Asset accounting module in SAP is a very important module. It manages fixed
assets data of an organization by way of asset master records. Asset
accounting module thus acts as a sub ledger to the FI module for managing
asset records.
SAP gives us the functionality in Asset module of managing depreciation and
assets parallely according to various reporting requirements i.e.
Local Reporting, Parent company reporting, Tax reporting, US GAAP
reporting and
so on.
You must assign a chart of depreciation to each company code that is defined
in Asset Accounting. SAP provides country-specific charts of depreciation with
predefined depreciation areas. These charts of depreciation serve only as a
reference for creating your own charts of depreciation, and are therefore not
directly accessible in the SAP system. When creating a chart of depreciation,
you have to copy the reference chart of depreciation.
We configured in the FI GL configuration book a company AIIG with the
company code KW24. The currency of the company code is INR. The
reporting period is considered as October to September.
RIL LTD is required to report depreciation for local reporting as per the statutory
reporting requirement of India. Further it is also required to report depreciation
as per the parent company located in India.

A) Organizational Structures
For doing the configuration we use the following path on the SAP application
screen:SAP Menu Tools Accelerated SAP Customizing SPRO - Edit
Project
Configuration for all the modules will be done here. The above path will
not refer henceforth; we will directly refer to the IMG node.

Copy Reference Chart of Depreciation/Depreciation areas


IMG Financial Accounting (New) Asset Accounting
Organizational Structures Copy Reference Chart of Depreciation/Depreciation
Areas
The chart of depreciation is a list of depreciation areas arranged according to
business and legal requirements. The chart of depreciation enables you
to manage all rules for the valuation of assets in a particular country.
You must assign a chart of depreciation to each company code that is defined
in Asset Accounting. SAP provides country-specific charts of depreciation with

predefined depreciation areas. These charts of depreciation serve only as a


reference for creating your own charts of depreciation, and are therefore not
directly accessible in the SAP system. When creating a chart of depreciation,
you have to copy the reference chart of depreciation.
When you create a chart of depreciation, the system copies all of the
depreciation areas in the reference chart of depreciation. You have to delete
any depreciation areas that you do not need in your chart of depreciation.
Depreciation areas that are not used can still be activated at a later point in
time (after the production startup). A newly activated depreciation area can
take over values from another depreciation area.
SAP has provided chart of depreciation for various countries. Therefore we
use Indian chart of depreciation.
Let us copy the chart of depreciation from Sample chart of depreciation: India to
create new chart of depreciation.

4. Assign Input Tax Indicator for Non-Taxable Acquisitions


IMG Financial Accounting (New) Asset Accounting Integration with

the General Ledger Assign Input Tax Indicator for Non-Taxable Acquisitions
In this step, you specify an input tax indicator per company code. The system
then uses this indicator when you post acquisitions that are not subject to tax,
but which are posted to accounts that are tax-relevant.
Assign input tax indicator V0 (Input tax 0%)
Assign output tax indicator A0 (output tax 0%) to company code KW24

6. Specify Number Assignment across Company codes


(Optional)
IMG Financial Accounting (New) Asset Accounting Organizational
Structures Specify Number Assignment Across Company Codes
You can assign the main asset account number across company codes.
Therefore, for every company code, you can determine from which (other)
company code number assignment is to be carried out. In this step, you
define a cross-company code assignment of the main asset number. If you do
not want a cross-company code number assignment, you do not need to
define any system settings here.
We do not want across company codes number range. So we do not
anything here.

7. Specify Account Determination


IMG Financial Accounting (New) Asset Accounting Organizational
Structures Asset Classes Specify Account Determination

The key of an account determination must be stored in the asset class. The
account determination links an asset master record to the general
ledger accounts to be posted for an accounting transaction using the asset
class.
Usually, you need at least the same number of account determinations as you
have asset balance sheet accounts in the general ledger

8. Create Screen Layout Rules


IMG Financial Accounting (New) Asset Accounting Organizational
Structures Asset Classes Create Screen Layout Rules
The screen layout specifies the status of the fields in the asset master record.
You use the screen layout to determine if fields are required entry or optional
entry fields, or if they are suppressed completely,
for example.
In this step, you create only the keys and descriptions of the screen

layout controls. You define the field group rules for the screen layouts
themselves in the step Master data.
You can enter a screen layout rule in one of two places: either in the part of
the asset class valid in the entire client, or in the part of the asset class valid
for the chart of depreciation. The screen layout rule is then valid either for all
assets in the asset class, or for all assets in the asset class/chart of
depreciation.
You can use the standard screen layout or you can copy the standard screen
layout to create new one.
We will copy the screen layout.

Click on Save
Similarly we will copy the screen layout for Buildings, Plant and
Machinery,
Vehicles and Asset under construction.

Define Number Range Interval


IMG Financial Accounting (New) Asset Accounting Organizational

10. Define Asset Classes


IMG Financial Accounting (New) Asset Accounting Organizational
Structures Asset Classes Define 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:
Assignment of default values when creating assets.
Grouping of assets for reporting purpose
You should group together assets with the same depreciation terms into an
asset class.

and update the following: -

Click on Save
Likewise create Building, Plant & Machinery, and Vehicles. In these you need

Organizational Structures Asset Classes Specify Chart-of-Dep.Dependent Screen Layout/Acct Assignment


Generally, the control specifications (the screen layout and the account
determination) for the asset class apply throughout the client, that is, for
all charts of depreciation. It is therefore sufficient to make control
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.
Normally this is not required.
We do not any configuration here.

B) Integration with the General Ledger


12. Define How Depreciation Areas Post to General Ledgers
IMG Financial Accounting (New) Asset Accounting Integration with the
General Ledger Define How Depreciation Areas Post to General Ledger
The system can post the APC transactions of one depreciation area to
the general ledger online automatically. Usually this is the book depreciation
area
01. You can post transactions from other depreciation areas to the
general ledger automatically using periodic processing. (The exception to this
rule are the depreciation areas for investment support shown on the
liabilities side, which can also post online.) You always have to use
periodic processing to post depreciation to the general ledger.

13. Assign G/L Accounts


IMG Financial Accounting (New) Asset Accounting Integration with the
General Ledger Assign G/L Accounts
In this step you assign the balance sheet accounts and the depreciation
accounts for Asset accounting.

You specify which financial statement version the system is to use as a
default per depreciation area. This default applies when the
financial statement version is contained in the sort version used for a given
report.

Valuation

The standard system copies the asset balance sheet values from depreciation
area 01 to all other depreciation areas during posting. (The only exceptions to
this rule are areas for revaluation and for investment support, as well
as derived depreciation areas.) Therefore, you only need to carry out this
step if you want to copy posting values from a different depreciation
area, not depreciation area 01.
In this step, you define transfer rules for the posting values of
depreciation areas. These transfer rules let you ensure that certain
depreciation areas have identical asset values.

19. Specify Transfer of Depreciation Terms

No configuration required here if you are managing depreciation areas


with different depreciation rate.

20. Determine Depreciation Areas in the Asset Class


IMG Financial Accounting (New) Asset Accounting Valuation
Determine Depreciation Areas in the Asset Class
Generally, the assets in an asset class use the same depreciation
terms (depreciation key, useful life). Therefore, you do not have to
maintain the depreciation terms in the asset master record. Instead, they
can be default values from the asset class.
In this step, you specify 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.

Select the asset class e.g.


And Double Click on
Remove the deactivation tick and specify the default depreciation key and the
screen layout.
It may so happen that you will not be able to maintain the default depreciation
key as the field may appear grayed out. In this case go to step 44 and activate
the maintenance level of depreciation key at asset level for screen layout

21. Specify Max. Amount for Low-Value Assets + Asset


Classes (Optional)

IMG Financial Accounting (New) Asset Accounting Valuation


Amount
Specifications (Company Code/Depreciation Area) Specify Max. Amount
for Low-Value Assets + Asset Classes
Here you specify the maximum amount for low value assets (LVAs). You enter
a maximum amount per company code or per depreciation area. The system
checks this maximum amount during every acquisition posting, providing the
corresponding LVA indicator is set in the asset class.
Specify how you want the system to carry out the LVA maximum
amount check for the asset class. Should the check be a quantity check(
value of the collective low-value asset divided by the quantity entered in the
asset exceeds the LVA maximum amount for the company code or
depreciation area) or individual check .
The following options are available in the system:0
1
2

No maximum amount check


Value based maximum amount check
Check maximum amount with quantity

Amounts for LVA can be set as Plain LVA amount check or Max LVA on
purchase orders.
For this setting, you need to create an LVA class for such assets. The
low values assets are managed in this asset class. The check prevents
any postings to the asset class, which exceeds the maximum value specified.
We will not create any LVA check since we have not created any
LVA
class.

22. Specify Rounding of Net Book Value and/or Depreciation


(Optional)

IMG Financial Accounting (New) Asset Accounting Valuation


Amount Specifications (Company Code/Depreciation Area) Specify
Rounding of Net Book Value and/or Depreciation

3. Specify Changeover Amount (Optional)


IMG Financial Accounting (New) Asset Accounting Valuation
Amount Specifications (Company Code/Depreciation Area) Specify
Changeover Amount
You enter the amount at which the the system should change the calculation
of depreciation to the changeover key specified in the depreciation key. You
enter the amount per depreciation area. The changeover takes place as soon
as the net book value of the asset goes below the changeover amount.
This changeover only takes place if you are using a depreciation key defined
with changeover method 3 (changeover as soon as the remaining value
is less than the changeover amount). This changeover amount is
ignored by other changeover methods.
We will not specify any changeover amounts.

24. Specify Memo Value (Optional)


IMG Financial Accounting (New) Asset Accounting Valuation
Amount
Specifications (Company Code/Depreciation Area) Specify Memo Value
In this step, you define a memo value for each depreciation area/ company
code. This memo value is the amount that is not depreciated, in order to have
a memo posting for an asset, which has already exceeded its useful life. The
system reduces the planned annual depreciation in the acquisition year for the
asset by the amount of the memo value.

You can activate or deactivate the memo value by means of an indicator in


the asset class, although it has been defined on depreciation area/company
code level (this is applies especially to asset classes for low value assets).
Here we need to do the following config:Double Click on

Define Depreciation Areas for Foreign Currencies
This step is a must if parallel currencies have been configured in FI-GL.
Depreciation areas can be managed in any currency in the FI-AA module. The
values from these areas can then be used for group consolidation, or for other
analyses.
In our scenario we require to report to parent company in SAR. We
have already configured parallel currencies for company code KW24 in
FI GL. Therefore it is a must that we set up those currencies in asset
accounting. We have set up depreciation area 01 in currencies INR. We
cannot change the currency in the master area (01).

28. Specify the Use of Parallel Currencies (Optional)


Financial Accounting Asset Accounting ValuationCurrencies
Specify the Use of Parallel Currencies
The R/3 FI module (Financial Accounting) provides you with the option
to manage all the values of a company code in up to three currencies
on the same accounts in parallel. You can define three local currencies
for every company code for this in FI Customizing. A local currency is
defined by the following specifications:
Currency type in accordance with the function of the currency (for
example group currency)
Type of exchange rate for the conversion
Base currency for the conversion and
Date (for example document date) for the conversion
Even the values that are posted within Asset Accounting can be updated in
several currencies and in the same FI document in parallel with the
posted amount in local currency in financial accounting. For this, you need to
manage
a depreciation area with the following features for each currency:
Currency type and currency of the depreciation area are identical to the
corresponding parallel currency in the company code in question.

The depreciation area must manage depreciation terms and acquisition


values identical to the book depreciation area.
The system then automatically supplies the corresponding posting documents
with the additional values from these depreciation areas. The areas in
the foreign currency do not need to be explicitly posted to the general
ledger (according to the posting settings in the definition of the depreciation
area).
The system also supports parallel currencies in depreciation areas that do not
post online, but which are posted during periodic posting to the general
ledger.
When you use parallel currencies to show group valuation and profit center

valuation, you should consider the following:


The key that is used in Asset Accounting for the parallel currencies is made
up of the combination of the keys for currency type and valuation view that are
entered in FI under "Define Additional Local Currencies."

For certain countries it is a legal requirement, 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

calculation of depreciation. This limited acquisition value can be stored as a
key (05) in the multi-level method of the depreciation key, in the same way as
all the other base values.
"Limited acquisition value" means that the system uses a specified maximum
amount as the base value for depreciation. If the acquisition value of the asset
is under this maximum amount, the system uses the actual acquisition value
as the basis for depreciation. However, if the acquisition value of the
asset exceeds this maximum amount, depreciation is based on this
maximum amount. You can specify the maximum base amount for each

H) Information system
46. Define or Assign Forms
IMG Asset Accounting Information System Define or Assign Forms

In this step, you define layout sets (forms) for the evaluation "Asset history"
(asset chart) in the Asset Accounting Info system and for printing labels with
asset information (barcodes) using the inventory list.
Layout sets determine the layout of the list printout of this report.
You can store a separate layout set in every asset class for the asset chart.
The report then uses this layout set for the fixed assets of this class and
creates a corresponding asset chart. Note that the report evaluates only fixed
assets with an active history management (indicator in the asset master
record).
You can enter the layout set for the inventory list when you start the report.
SAP supplies the layout set FIAA_F001 as a default for the asset chart and
the layout set FIAA_0003 for the inventory labels.
Double Click
Assign Form FIAA_F001 to all the new asset classes created.

I) Asset data transfer


47. Specify Transfer Date/Last Closed Fiscal Year
IMG Financial Accounting (New) Asset Accounting Asset Data
Transfer Parameters for Data Transfer Date Specifications Specify
Transfer Date/Last Closed Fiscal Year
Here you specify the transfer date for the asset data transfer. This date
determines the status of posting to be used for the transfer. Posting up to
this date will be included in the transfer. This specification also
determines whether you want to perform the transfer during the fiscal year
(with transfer
of posted transactions/depreciation in the current fiscal year) or at the end of
the fiscal year (without transactions).
If the transfer date is not the last day of the fiscal year (according to the fiscal
year variant in FI), the system interprets this as transfer during the fiscal year.
The system cannot transfer any historical transactions. It can only
transfer cumulative values from the end of the last fiscal year, and the
transactions in the current fiscal year (the second is only possible for transfer
during the fiscal year).
Example:
Transfer date July 2008
Last closed fiscal year 2007

48. Specify Last Period Posted in Prv.System (Transf.During


FY)
IMG Financial Accounting (New) Asset Accounting Asset Data
Transfer Parameters for Data Transfer Date Specifications Specify
Last Period Posted in Prv.System (Transf.During FY)
This step is only necessary if you want to perform an old assets data takeover
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.
Company is going live on May 2008, which is in the mid fiscal year. In this
case we specify that depreciation was posted upto April 30, 2008 in
the previous (legacy) system.

49. Create/Change/Display Legacy Asset

Manual Online Transfer Create/Change/Display Legacy Asset
Transaction code : AS91/AS92/AS93
Here you enter assets from the legacy system with the balances. The entry of
these asset masters will not update the reconciliation accounts in the General
ledger

You need to update the Master data, depreciation areas and the take
over values.
Journal entry for updating the General ledger code will be through a different
transaction code

J) Preparing for Production Startup


50. Transfer Balances

Transaction code : OASV

Here in this step you post balances to G/L accounts, which have already been
defined as Asset reconciliation accounts. You can only post entries in
company codes, which have implementation status.
The transfer of legacy asset data using the legacy asset transaction (AS91)
does not affect the balances of the corresponding reconciliation accounts in
Financial Accounting. Therefore no automatic balance formation
or reconciliation takes place and you will need to manually reconcile
the balances. You can ascertain the Asset Accounting values using one
of the reports of asset list. When you start this report, specify January
1st of the current fiscal year as the report date. The system will then
provide data as of December 31st of the previous fiscal year (in other
words, no depreciation from the current fiscal year is included).

51. Activate Company Code

Production
Startup Production Startup Activate Company Code
In the "Activate Company Code" step, you set the live indicator (0) for
the company codes in which the test phase and legacy data transfer have
ended. The live indicator ensures that data is not deleted from live company
codes by programs for deleting test data.
After legacy data transfer and before setting a company code to live
(production status) it is mandatory to reconcile account balances, since the
transfer of legacy data does not affect the reconciliation accounts for Financial
Accounting. There is no automatic creation and reconciliation of
balances during legacy data transfer.

This marks the end of the SAP Asset Configuration.
