Automatic Posting from Depreciation Areas to General Ledger Accounting 

Use

Depending on the specifications in the chart of depreciation and in the asset class, you can manage up to 99 depreciation areas for each asset in the Asset Accounting (FI-AA) component. (For more information, see Depreciation Areas). Often you are required to reflect these different parallel asset valuations in General Ledger Accounting.

Features

The posting values from the master depreciation area can be updated immediately to the G/L accounts (see Features at Chart of Depreciation Level). Usually you select the book depreciation area as the master depreciation area. The system can update other depreciation areas to General Ledger Accounting either directly or using periodic processing (see Parallel Valuation). Depreciation can only be updated during periodic processing (see Posting Depreciation).

 

In Asset Accounting, you specify the ledger that the system posts to in General Ledger Accounting by choosing a ledger group for each chart of depreciation and depreciation area.

The following posting indicators are available for each depreciation area:

·        (0) Area Does Not Post

·        (1) Area Posts in Realtime

·        (2) Area Posts APC and Depreciation on Periodic Basis

·        (3) Area Posts Depreciation Only

·        (4) Area Post APC Directly and Depreciation

·        (5) Area Posts APC Only

·        (6) Area Posts Only APC Directly

For more detailed information, refer to the documentation of this IMG activity: choose SAP Customizing Implementation Guide → Financial Accounting (New) → Asset Accounting → Valuation → Depreciation Areas → Define Depreciation Areas.

 

You have to use report RAPERB2000 for periodic posting. This report has been enhanced for posting to the new General Ledger Accounting.
