Changeover in Asset Accounting (SAP Library - European Monetary Union: Euro (CA-EUR))

Changeover in Asset Accounting

Purpose

In the Asset Accounting (FI-AA) component, you can manage your fixed assets in parallel in any number of depreciation areas. Each depreciation area can manage its values in a different currency. During the euro changeover, the system changes over all depreciation areas that use a participating euro currency. For making this change, the system uses the fixed exchange rate specified in the changeover package. After the currency translation, all of the amounts in these depreciation areas are in the system in euros only. Partial changeover of certain depreciation areas according to their own specific criteria is not allowed.

Process Flow

The euro changeover consists of the following three phases:

In the preparation phase, you meet certain prerequisites for the changeover. For more information on the preparation phase in FI-AA see the Implementation Guide (IMG) for the European Monetary Union: Euro.

The actual changeover takes place in the preprocessing, changeover and postprocessing steps using the R/3 changeover package. For more information, see Changeover Procedure.

After the euro changeover, you need to do some cleanup. For more information on the cleanup phase in FI-AA see the Implementation Guide (IMG) for European Monetary Union: Euro.

The following graphic shows the phases of the changeover and the FI-AA programs that run during each phase:

Changeover Phases and Programs

For more a more detailed description of these programs and their functions, see their R/3 online documentation (transaction SE38).

Result: Tables Converted

The following tables are converted in Asset Accounting during the euro conversion:

Tables Affected by the Conversion

Table	Contents of Table
ANEP	Asset line items
ANEA	Asset line items proportional values
ANLA	Asset master record: Property value (EHWRT, WRTMA) Leasing values (LBASW, LEGEB, LKAUF, LKZUA, LKUZI, LLAVB) Original acquisition value (URWRT)
ANLB	Asset master record - Depreciation terms: Scrap value (SCHRW)
ANLC	Asset value fields
ANLP	Periodic asset values
ANLQ	Periodic values from depreciation posting run for each account assignment level
ANLV	Insurance data
ANLW	Year-dependent insurance values
T085	Investment support measures
T085Z	Investment support with time-dependent investment support percentage rates
T090M	Maximum depreciation amounts
T091C	Changeover variants
T093B	Depreciation area specifications related to company code

The system adopts the currency from table T093B.

A special rule applies to tables T085 and T085Z : Since the entries in these tables are dependent on the chart of depreciation (not on the company code), the system checks if the assigned company codes all have the same currency. If this is not the case, the system checks which depreciation areas use the investment keys. As long as the investment key is assigned to only one depreciation area, and the currency of the depreciation is euro participating, the system translates the values. Otherwise the system does not translate the amount. It then issues a warning to that effect during the analysis phase in program EWUAFPLO.
