Legacy Asset transfer in megers

[Former Member]

Dear Experts

Iu2019ve gone through several threads related to AS91, OASV, but still Iu2019ve certain doubts.

Weu2019ve 2 SAP clients A & B with FI-AA already live on them with FY April - March. Client A is getting merged with B effective from 1st April 2011. Closing Assets, GL balances of client A of FY 2011 need to appear in client B from 1st April 2011 onwards. We run depreciation monthly and last the dep run in client A will be for March 2011.

In such a scenario weu2019ll taking the assets of client A on client B as legacy assets.

1. What should be the transfer date? 31.03.2011 or 01.04.2011?

2. What should be the date in OASV?

Weu2019ll pass the entry as

APC debit

Accum Dep Cr

Bank Cr ( since Client B will pay to client A)

3. Should the Assets closing be done in client B before transfer?

4. Our AUCs are Investment Measures and as per investment profile we are using Summary Settlement. In such a scenario how should be manage our Legacy AUC? AuCs will be created automatically as soon as we will release our open WBS in Client B. How about the postings which are not completely settled?

a). Should the GL postings be made on wbs on 01.04.2001 and settled on AuC so that the values are duly updated in FI- AA & FI-GL.

b). Iu2019d read that Ttype 900 should be used for prior acquisitions but system is not allowing in our case. Even the documentation of TTypes of transfer of open item says that its allowed for line item settlement which is not our case. So if we just upload opening values of AuCs just like normal assets will they be settled to Fixed assets?

Please suggest.

Hi Kapil

Ideally you should take a SLO service of SAP which is chargeable service, but perfect match for such situations.... If you are not willing to take it, then

1. You have to opt for Legacy Transfer of Assets

2. Upload of balance sheet items, as if the company is going live now....

You will have to change the Legacy Assets Transfer date in the IMG to 31/03/2011.... however, ensure that after changing the Asset transfer date, you dont tamper the existing assets at all.... refer Note 49563 - Subsequent data transfer to FI-AA.. This note deals with cases when a company goes live in phases at different plants....

Your situation is similar to it

3. It is preferable that you do the Closing in the Company B.... A COMPLETE FI CLOSING.... and then move the balances....

4. In OASV - Dont bring any bank account... Just pass the usual FI entry in OASV i.e. Dr APC account, Cr Accum Dep Account and Cr one more balance sheet account which will be "Consideration for Asset take over"

Dr the "Consideration for Asset take over" at a later stage and Cr the Vendor account in F-43... Finlaly make the payment from F-58 of F110

4. you can upload the AUCs normally... They wil be settled to FA at a later stage

Hi Ajay

Thanks for your reply. I've read quiet a few earlier replies of yours on this issue.

1. I understand why 31.03.2011 is to be set as transfer date since transfer upto this date will be included in legacy trasnfer. Actual trasfer ie. creating of legacy assets can even be later than this date.

2. But regarding date in OASV. Shall we use the Doc & posting date as 01.04.2011? since client B will have its own Financials without merger till 31.03.2011 and the merger is to take effect from 01.04.2011. The drawback is we would loose the continuity of balances in this year and the continuity will be re-eastablished in the following legacy data transfer year as per link http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/4f/71e35b448011d189f00000e81ddfac/frameset.htm

3. Since full closing will take some time in Client B, could there be any issues if actual trasnfer of assets and gl balances is delayed?

4. I've tested AuC legacy transfer. But system doesnt allow to use TType 900 since our AuCs are created as investment measures. Message no. AA967 appears. Its only allowed for AuC created with 'Line item settlement'

In our invetestment profile we have selected 'Summary Settlement'

Shall we upload the values through AS92 in Takeover section which is not greyed out and then upload the GL balances thruogh OASV? But merely uploading the opening balance in AuC without line items will allow further settlement?

Hi Kapil

1. I would again emphasize to take SAP's SLO service for a smotth transition.. For you, it will be a good learning too

2. You can have asset take over date as 01.04.2011 since the merger is takin effect from that date

OASV also to have same date

3. If balances wont be finalised in Comp Code B so soon, you can transfer the balances later... However, it would be advisable if you dont execute depreciation in 2011 in Comp Code A till that time....

Though you can execute and still manage the scene, its better if you dont

4. I am not very sure about your AUC scenario and how to handle it.. However, even if there is one line item in the AUC, you can settle it to final asset
