In the "changeover" phase, the system translates the asset values and the amount specifications to euros and rounds these values as needed. This rounding can cause inconsistencies within the FI-AA tables. After the currency translation, the system therefore automatically reconciles the values described below.

The system reconciles the asset line items (transactions) with the asset value fields (totals records) by recalculating depreciation. If errors occur during this process, the system corrects the following errors automatically:

• For assets under construction with line item management, the system reconstructs the cumulative acquisition costs based on the open line items at the start of the fiscal year.

• If the total of down payments was zero before the currency translation, the system resets this total to zero after the translation. In addition, the system modifies the last-processed down payment line item accordingly.

• In Customizing, you can specify whether the net book value of an asset can be positive, negative or both. If this rule for the net book value is violated at the start of the fiscal year, the system corrects the error by changing the annual balance forwarded for the asset (not with an adjustment posting). For derived depreciation areas, the system reduces depreciation in the depreciation areas on which the derived area is based (in the same sequence as in the formula for the derived depreciation area).

• The system also makes sure that assets with a book value of zero before the translation have a book value of zero after the translation.

The system creates an asset change document for each error correction that it makes. You can run a report (RAAEND01) on these change documents. The change user in these documents is SAP_EURO.

The system logs errors that cannot be corrected automatically, for you to process later. You can process this log using program RAT08401.

The system does not carry out a reconciliation for closed fiscal years.

If errors occur in value fields (totals records) of an asset, the system attempts to correct them by changing planned depreciation in the changeover year. If this attempt is unsuccessful, the system corrects the annual values carried forward.

The system does not reconcile the totals records with previous years (since they are already closed).

The system does not carry out any reconciliation for posted depreciation. The depreciation posted in table ANLC is binding.

Table ANLP serves internal system purposes only. Using table ANLP, you can restart depreciation posting runs that have terminated. The fact that this table is not reconciled with table ANLC does not make using ANLP less effective.

After the changeover, it is possible that the asset value display transaction (AW01) could display slightly different depreciation values than in the depreciation reports in the FI-AA Information System. These inconsistencies disappear after the fiscal year change is carried out.

The system does not carry out any reconciliation for insurance values. The system does not recalculate the base insurable value, and so on.
