Customizing the Asset Reports 

Before you can run the asset reports, you need to make a number of Customizing settings and maintain your fixed asset master data as follows:

Customizing for Financial Accounting (FI)

·        Company code global settings

Choose Financial Accounting Global Settings ® Company Code ® Enter Global Parameters. Select your company code, and choose Additional Details. Enter your company's main activity (actividade principal) in the fields Main Activity Line 1 and Main Activity Line 2, and your business activity code (código de actividade econômica/CAE) in the Business Activity Indicator field.

·        Depreciation areas

Create all required depreciation areas for your chart of depreciation (one for each edict), under Asset Accounting ® Valuation ® Depreciation Areas ® Define Depreciation Areas ® Define Depreciation Areas. These depreciation areas store the revaluation data for the assets according to the corresponding edict you customize (by defining revaluation areas, see below). For each depreciation area, make the following entries:

-         Set the Real dep. area indicator

-         Specify 0 (No values are posted in General Ledger) in the Posting in G/L field

-         Acquisition and production costs: specify "All values allowed"

-         Residual positive accounting value: specify "All values allowed"

·        Currency

As of January 1, 2002, you must report your assets in euros. Choose Asset Accounting ® Valuation ®  Currencies ® Define Depreciation Areas for Foreign Currencies, and assign EUR to all depreciation areas used for these reports.

·        Asset report settings

Choose Asset Accounting ® Special Valuation ® Revaluation of Fixed Assets ® Settings for Mapas Fiscais Portugal, and define the following for your company code:

¡        Revaluation areas

¡        Revaluation groups and exceptions

¡        Untaxed gains and unaccepted amortization

¡        Depreciation factors

¡        Transaction types for retirements

¡        Depreciation foregone

¡        Validation-key checks

Master Data

You need to assign a DGCI code to each fixed asset, in its master record. From the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Accounting ® Financial Accounting ® Fixed Assets ® Asset ® Change. Enter the asset number, sub-number, and company code, then choose Master Data. On the Allocations tab, enter the DGCI code in one of the evaluation groups (1, 2, 3 or 4). The DGCI code appears in the first column of the asset reporting forms (mapas fiscais).
