Source system is in ECC 6.0 Classic GL and plan to convert to S4 HANA. We are using account approach in asset accounting module, new depreciation area is created for statutory requirements and it posts to GL both APC and depreciation.
Since we cannot introduce parallel ledgers during conversion (unless a pre-project) , question is how to handle the statutory requirements that post to GL?
It was mentioned in the note 2147666 that the area with account approach should have an indicator 4-Area Posts APC Immediately, Depreciation Periodically. I tried in S4 but system is not allowing you to assign the indicator if your depreciation area 01 has indicator 1-Area Posts in Real Time (must be one depreciation area that post APC and posts in real time)
The above depreciation area setup can be done if you introduce a new ledger group, e.g. ZL (not a new ledger). This ledger group has the same leading ledger 0L but different accounting principle. Therefore, all posted transactions will be under the same ledger 0L.
Question is - will the system allow to introduce new ledger group during conversion? Will it convert the data automatically?
Another question is, if we would like to standardize the depreciation areas wherein 01 will be for leading ledger and 02 will be for local GAAP, is the data that was previously posted as a local GAAP account in dep area 01, once become dep area 02 will be converted?
Thank you.
