Streamlining Asset Accounting after 2 years of inactivity.

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

We have a peculiar problem:

We are on ECC 6, EHP 3. Process followed was internal order settlement to AUC & then to assets. Asset Accounting was implemented & used upto Dec 2013. Last depreciation run in December 2013.

Post that users stopped creating assets & doing depreciation run in SAP for reasons best known to them. Users kept creating internals orders & settled them to AUC. Settlement to Fixed assets was not done. All data was maintained offline & financial entries were passed for capitalisation & depreciation.

Now user is unable to settle to AUC because year 2015 is not opened in Asset Accounting. Year 2015 cannot be opened because 2013 not closed. Year 2013 cannot be closed because of incomplete depreciation run.

Users now want to streamline Asset Accounting but they do not want accounting entries to be passed since accounts have been signed for both years & books closed.

Please advise regarding course of action.

Regards,

Sangeeta

Hi,

According to me the option available is to post depreciation for 2013 and also the amount of excess depreciation by which the books of accounts difference is that of that amount post an unplanned depreciation with positive value in 2013 fiscal year. So books of accounts are not changed and no effect on the same.

Malhar.

You cannot close unless you post the depreciation completely.

You may need to post the depreciation by opening the priority and then post a correcting journal, use ABF1 transaction code for the same.

Refer SAP Note: 69225 - Reconciliation difference financial/asset accounting

to know how to use ABF1

Please note in SAP Asset Accounting maximum you could open two consecutive years only.

PS: Do NOT try to change the table entries directly, this will lead to some other integration errors.

Hi Sangeeta,

You can run the depreciation for the FY 2013& 2014. After done posting manually post a reversal JV for depreciation postings. Suppose when you run depreciation, the system posts the below entry:

Depreciation A/c Dr

Accumulated Dep.A/c Cr

After pass the above, do manual JV for the above entry on the same period by ABF1

Accumulated Dep A/c Dr

Depreciation A/c Cr

Hi Sangeeta

2 options:

1, Standard way by following SAP
note 619969 to close 2013 first and then open 2015. this way may affect
accounting balance

Alternatively:

2, manually correct below table entries (you need have full authorization and take full own responsibility)

- Change T093B-ABGJA to 2014

- Change TABA entry for period 12 2013 with XBUKZ=X

- Change T093D-AFBLPE = 12 and T093D-AFBLGJ = 2013

- Perform AJRW for 2015
