Investment support / liability entries

[Former Member]

Dear experts,

I am getting difficulty to understand how spec.reserves (AO88) acct is triggered during ABIF postings.

At the time of ABIF, I can clearly see asset deduction via standard account determination defined in AO90 (reduction APC value against investment support clearing account).

APC account Credit

Inv clearing account Debit

At the time of depreciation calculation, I can see following entries which make sense to me:

Val.adj.acct - inv.supp. write-off Debit

Ordinary write-back Credit

However, I should see somehow posting to Spec.reserves acct (inv.supp. on liab.).Where this liability account will recognize ABIF amount and how ?

Thank you all for your support.

Hi,

The posting entry for investment support is like below

a) When you run ABIF (based on the new acquisition and your investment support measure to recognize the liability)

Credit: Inv.supp. write-off Debit (Deferred capital grant in my screenshot)

Debit: Clearing account ( operating grant in my screenshot)

b) During depreciation

Debit: Val adjustment acct inv.supp. write-off Debit (Accum DCG in my screenshot)

Credit: Ordinary write-back Credit  (DCG amortization in my screenshot)

Hello Yahui,

Thx for your support.

I have created 2 areas for posting separately investment support.

one for posting on the asset side and one for the liability side. the both are configured to post only depreciation periodically to 2 separate ledgers.

Ledger 1 (area 01) in AO90 APC account 1607

L 2 (for which I post via area 41: Investment support in Liability side in A088)  Invest support on liability account 4607.

However area 41 is still posted with account 1607... I did a lot of different tests and still not working as I would have expected.

Any Idea on how to solve this? for information depreciation type is defined as Investment support (08) in OADC.

Thank you.

please check your depreciation area definition, please don't put the 01 area to the highlighted field.

Yahui,

Perfect, that's what I did.

However, I can not see my postings to the liability side when I am posting ABIF.

Depreciation are properly calculated under 41 and posted to ST ledger according to account determination in A088. Did I miss something in ANVEST where I need to specify area for APC reduction. I put 41 but as 41 does not accept APC value...

If I am able to solve postings from 41 then I will have to check posting from 51 which has to go to asset side...

Thank you again for your very valuable help.

Please change the posting to GL setting 'real time' in your 41 depreciation area.

Hello,

I can't. 41 does not post the the main ledger (OL).

[Former Member]

Realized that you are using parallel ledgers. Please run ASKB to post the periodic posting then.

Hello,

Running ASKB does not allow me to post ABIF entries properly under 41.

Depreciation postings are ok but this one, I do not have any document generated.

Do I have to specify under my investment key 31(which post to ST ledger) ? In that case it will work but then it takes account determination from AO90 as depreciation area 31 is not specified as investment support area...

I have almost tested everything.

Hello Liu,

I have progressed a bit. ASKBN is looking to post against ST ledger (as specified in my Investment key) the APC reduction. However, ASKBN finishes in error saying that balancing profit center in line item 001 is not filled...

Hence, posting does not happen. Why system is not able to retreive information from acquisition posting. Is it because I post APC reduction only 41 ? (Investment support liability depreciation area). When I post directly against 30 (statutory depreciation area) everything works perfectly with one slight difference - it takes account determination from AO90 which is completely false...

Please check the t-code ACSET and activate the profit centre for your investment support area for APC posting.

Liu,

Area 41 is now properly configured with ACSET. Impossible to define profit center but I configured the standard one: cost center for APC and Depreciation postings.

Depreciation postings under 41 are fine according to AO88 and posted to 41 based on the Investment Key configuration. However, ASKBN is not posting "liability value" to my ST ledger. Test run is green:

Area 41 is defined as post apc and depreciation periodically

Depreciation Area for APC reduction is only 41.

I am progressing a lot with your support. Hope we'll be able to find a solution. Then I'll produce a detailed steps to ensure that those type of area are properly configured for the all other users facing same issue than me...

Thank you
