    Software Component

  • You have set up and activated the application component General Ledger Accounting (FI-GL) (New).

    You use the ledger approach to handle parallel accounting.

  • You have configured the Asset Accounting (FI-AA) application component.

    You have set up the integration with new General Ledger Accounting.

  • You activated this business function FI-AA, Asset Accounting (FIN_AA_CI_1).

  • You make the Customizing settings for the business function in Customizing for Asset Accounting under   Valuation   Fiscal Year   Fiscal Year Variants  .

    • In the Customizing activity Allow Differing Variants for Depreciation Areas with G/L Integration, you activate the new function for each company code.

    • You can freely define the different fiscal year variants per depreciation area in the Customizing activity Specify Other Versions on Depreciation Area Level. We recommend that for each depreciation area you choose the fiscal year variant of the representative ledger from the assigned ledger group.

Features

If you use the ledger approach (parallel ledgers) for parallel accounting, with this business function you can post depreciation from Asset Accounting separately to ledger groups in new General Ledger Accounting. Note particularly that the representative ledgers of the different ledger groups can use different fiscal year variants, as long as their start and end dates are the same.

In addition, in Asset Accounting you can now enter differing fiscal year variants at depreciation area level also for posting depreciation areas. If you enter the fiscal year variant of the assigned ledger group for each depreciation area, you can thereby post and display the depreciation to the exact period for each accounting principle using the given fiscal year variant.

Example

For an example for the new function, see the SAP Library under   SAP ERP Central Component   Financials   Financial Accounting   Asset Accounting   Basic Functions for Asset Valuation   Fiscal Years and Periods   Different Fiscal Year for FI-AA.
