Hello Experts,
Please I need to confirm if there is any possible workaround to migrate the transactional balances associated to existing Lease Contracts at the migration date (ROU Asset/Liabilities + Cumulated depreciation).
Business scenario:
The customer has ongoing Lease Contracts at the time of the SAP ByD GO LIVE , I have already migrated the GL Account balances (Trial Balance, including ROU assets, liabilities, cumulated depreciation) this entry has generated an impact on the 99004000 - Initial Data Carry Forward Fixed Asset Account.
I was expecting to clear out this balance by migrating the Lease contracts, however I realized the Lease contract migration does not affect the 99004000 - Initial Data Carry Forward Fixed Asset Account and does not include the cumulated depreciations.
I have also try by creating the existing lease contracts manually but I got the same accounting results.
So I conclude that the historical data migration of pre-existing lease contracts (prior to Go Live) is not supported by SAP. So the customer is forced to manage 2 process: 1) Manually (via JEV) for the pre- existing Lease contracts 2) Through the Lease contract management module for new contracts started after the Go Live. Do I am right? Is there any workaround that will let me use all the automated functions included in the Lease contract management module for existing lease contracts?
What is the process recommended by SAP?
I would really appreciate if you can provide your feedback.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Andres
