Existing Data

Master Data

Existing master data is not changed by the activation of new Asset Accounting or the upgrade to SAP Accounting 1503 powered by SAP HANA.

Customizing data

However, you might possibly have to migrate and adjust your Customizing data. This depends on your source release, so the release you have before the migration to SAP Accounting 1503 powered by SAP HANA. Existing Customizing settings from classic Asset Accounting or from new Asset Accounting are transferred; this means that to the extent you have already been working with classic or new Asset Accounting, you do not have to make all the Customizing settings again. You have to migrate, to some extent check, change and add to your Customizing data in these two cases: you are migrating from classic General Ledger Accounting with classic Asset Accounting, or from new General Ledger Accounting with classic Asset Accounting.

Transaction data

Transaction data is migrated from the existing subledger data store of Asset Accounting to the universal journal entry. The data however remains in the original database tables and can be read using the compatibility view in the previous format, for example in customer-defined programs (see the section on compatibility views). The tables of the existing subledger entry are no longer required for further processing and can be unloaded from the database if necessary. All the required information is now in the new database tables.

Note:

  • You cannot reverse documents that originated before the changeover from classic to new Asset Accounting. Instead, you have to make an inverse posting.

  • It may no longer be possible to process worklists that have been created before the changeover to the new Asset Accounting. This involves worklists that create transaction data (however, not master data changes), such as worklists for retirement without revenue, retirement with revenue, intercompany asset transfer, and impairment posting. You should therefore either process these worklists before you activate the Customizing switch, or create them again once you have activated new Asset Accounting in SAP Accounting 1503 powered by SAP HANA.

For more information about the migration, see the release note FI-AA (New): Migration to the journal entry

Compatibility Views: System and User Usage

Asset Accounting tables ANEA, ANEP, ANEK, ANLC and ANLP are no longer updated in SAP Accounting 1503 powered by SAP HANA.

However, to be able to continue using the reports of Asset Accounting and your own developments, selections from these tables are automatically diverted to the corresponding compatibility views. These compatibility views make the information from the new data store available in the format of the original tables. If it should be necessary to read the contents of the original tables for a particular reason, you can do this using DDIC views (for example, FAAV_ANEA_ORI).
