Definition

A depreciation area that you use to record sibuin amounts.

Use

Customizing

Create a sibuin depreciation area in Customizing for Financial Accounting (FI), by choosing Asset Accounting ® Valuation ® Depreciation Areas ® Define Depreciation Areas ® Define Depreciation Areas. We recommend that you call the area 51.

In the depreciation area, make the following settings:

·        Select Real Depreciation Area.

·        In the Posting in G/L field, enter 0 (No Values Are Posted in General Ledger).

·        In the Acquisition Value field, select Only Positive Values or Zero Allowed.

·        In the Net Book Value field, select All values allowed.

Specify the area type in Customizing for FI, by choosing Asset Accounting ® Valuation ® Depreciation Areas ® Define Depreciation Areas ® Specify Area Type, and set the type to 02 (Special Depreciation Reserves (Special Tax Depreciation)).

Assign a dummy depreciation key to the asset classes (in the standard system, 0000) in the sibuin depreciation area: the reports calculate the depreciation for tax purposes instead of the depreciation key. Do so in Customizing for FI, by choosing Asset Accounting ® Valuation ® Determine Depreciation Areas in the Asset Class.

Open up the depreciation area for the relevant asset classes in the SAP Easy Access menu under Accounting ® Financial Accounting ® Fixed Assets ® Environment ® New Depreciation Area, and select Depreciation Terms from Asset Class and Leave Values Initial.

Periodic Processing

When you prepare the depreciation statements, the system posts sibuin postings to this depreciation area.
