Indicator: Used in Balance Sheet
Account assignment objects that are relevant to the balance sheet can no longer be changed directly in the
asset master record once the asset has been capitalized. Instead, such assets have to be transferred to a new
asset master record to make this change.
Indicator: Acct Assignment Object Same in Asset Master and Posting Transaction
Specify whether the account assignment object you enter when posting has to agree with the account
assignment object entered in the asset master record. If you set this indicator, you cannot change the
account assignment object when posting.
Note:
The account assignments objects you want to use have to be defined as available for input in the Screen
Layout of the asset master record.

Depreciation Processing
The new depreciation posting program RAPOST2000 supports the new account assignments objects.
Depreciation is only posted directly. Batch input is no longer necessary. Therefore the document type
assigned to depreciation postings must not to have the indicator Batch-Input Only.
The test run options includes extensive checks, e.g. blocked cost centers are checked in the test run.
If you receive an error message due to a blocked cost center in productive run you only have to correct the
asset master during the restart the corrected cost center is taken.
The log of the depreciation posting program can be displayed with RAPOST2001.
Depreciation postings for more than one company code can be executed using RAPOST2010.
The link to schedule manager has been approved.

Enhancements in Depreciation Processing
Depreciation Processing (RAPOST2000)
The depreciation posting program was redesigned. The new depreciation
posting program is RAPOST2000.
Its possible to post depreciation to new account assignment objects.
Depreciation is only posted directly. Batch input is no longer necessary.
The indicator batch-input only in the document type assigned for depreciation
posting is no longer necessary
The depreciation posting program can be scheduled using the Schedule
Manager.
Error log, job log and output lists could be reviewed via Schedule Manger no matter
whether the depreciation posting program was schedule via Schedule Manager or
not.
Performing test runs helps to prevent problems. Test run options include
extensive checks as well as document simulation.
In case of errors, RAPOST2000 offers enhanced restart functions.
Depreciation postings for more than one company code can be
executed using RAPOST2010.

Depreciation Processing: Error handling
During the depreciation posting several checks are made:
Checking whether the entered posting period is correct
In case of errors you have to start the depreciation run again with the correct
posting period.
Checks during the creation of document line items
For example the account assignment was not complete maintained. In such a
case the system could not continue to create the document for the
concerned assets and depreciation area. The system processes the other
assets for which the accounts assignment is complete.
After completing the account assignment its necessary to start the
depreciation run in the Restart mode.
Checks during posting the document
For example a cost center used in a document is blocked. The posting of
such a document is not possible. The system continues posting the
remaining documents.
After you have corrected the error situation (change the cost center in the
asset master / unblock the cost center) its necessary to start the
depreciation in Restart mode.

Periodic Posting to Asset Balance Sheet Accounts
Periodic Asset Postings (RAPERB2000)
The periodic asset posting program was redesigned. The new
periodic posting program is RAPERB2000.
Periodic asset postings are posted directly. Batch input is no longer
necessary.
Beyond the master depreciation area dialog transactions can be
posted real time in further depreciation areas.
For parallel valuation, RAPERB2000 provides functions for
posting to
More than one depreciation area in real time
An additional special ledger instead of using an additional set of
general ledger accounts
An additional company code. Chose a company code which
represents not a real company, especially you may not use asset
accounting in this company code. The company code should only
exist for technical reason in order to represent the differences
between the different valuation.

Prerequisite:
Depreciation Area 32 is defined to post periodically to General Ledger (Transaction: OADX)
Use:
Indicator: Post Depreciation Area to G/L in real time
You can use this indicator to designate that a depreciation area, which normally posts periodically, posts
online (differently from its settings in Customizing). You do this by not entering any target data in the
mapping table, and setting the "Post directly" indicator.
Technically spoken the posting is a V2-update. In case of update terminations the missing documents are
posted subsequently via RAPERB2000.
SAP AG 2002, Title of Presentation, Speaker Name 11
Post an additional depreciation area online
Setting the indicator
Post depreciation area
to G/L real time will lead
to the effect that
depreciation area 32
posts online to general
ledger
SAP AG 12
Prerequisite:
Depreciation Area 32 is defined to post periodically to General Ledger (Transaction: OADX)
Use:
Example: The values of company code 1000 depreciation area 32 are posted to special ledger.
The assignment of accounting principle and special ledger is done centrally in financial accounting. If you
dont activate the indicator Post Depreciation Area to G/L in Real time the documents are created via
RAPERB2000.
SAP AG 2002, Title of Presentation, Speaker Name 12
Parallel Valuation: Posting to special ledger
In financial accounting
you assign a special
ledger to an accounting
principle. This
assignment defines to
which special ledger the
documents are posted.
SAP AG 13
Prerequisite:
Depreciation Area 32 is defined to post periodically to General Ledger (Transaction: OADX)
Use:
In the field alternative company code you enter the company code, to which the data should be transferred, in
other words, the target company code. You may not assign a chart of depreciation to the alternative company
code.
The information of chart of depreciation and different depreciation area defines the valid account assignment.
Note: The chart of depreciation has to be assigned either to the source company code or to no company code
at all.
Example: Depreciation area 32 company code 1000 posts its values real time to company code R100. For this
postings the account assignment of depreciation area 01 in chart of depreciation 1DE are used.
Note:
The function Post Depreciation Area to G/L in Real time results in a high amount of documents.
SAP AG 2002, Title of Presentation, Speaker Name 13
Parallel Valuation: Posting to different company code
Transfer the values of
depreciation area 32,
company code 1000 to
alternative company code
R100.
The posting in company
code R100 use the
account assignment of
chart of depreciation 1DE,
depreciation area 01.
SAP AG 14
Prerequisite:
Depreciation Area 03 is defined to post periodically to General Ledger (Transaction: OADX) and is defined
as a derived depreciation area.
Use:
The indicator derived depreciation area = real depreciation area enables that valuation differences of
Acquisition and Production Costs are posted to company code R100. The account assignment of chart of
depreciation 1DE depreciation area 01 is used. In former releases the posting of valuation differences for
derived depreciation areas was not possible.

Additional notes about RAPERB2000
SAP recommends to use RAPERB2000 even if you dont use the new
functions of parallel posting.
The use of RAPERB2000 is obligatory if you use the new functions
of parallel posting.
RAPERB2010 processes multiple company codes.
As long as you dont use the new functions you still can use
RAPERB00.

Country specific Japan: Half-year-depreciation
According to Japanese tax law, companies that practice
semi-annual closing should use a half-year depreciation
rate for the depreciation calculation in the first half of the
fiscal year.
In order to fulfill this requirement, the current
depreciation calculation functions were enhanced. It is
possible to calculate depreciation for the first half of a
fiscal year with a different depreciation rate than in the
second half of the fiscal year. The special feature of this
development is that only 6 months are used as the basis
for calculating the depreciation for the first half.

BADI_FIAA_DOCLINES
This BADI offers the possibility to change the document created
by SAP Asset Accounting.
There are two different methods:
Add line items to an existing document
Complete change of an existing document
Exchange of the document type. This could be helpful especially if
you use the real time posting function for depreciation areas posting
periodically and you have the requirement to use a different
document type for such areas.
Please note that checks on changed documents regarding asset
reconciliation accounts take place as always. In general its not
recommended to change document lines which refers to asset
reconciliation accounts.

Miscellaneous Enhancements in Asset Accounting
Settlement of Investment Support of Asset under Constructions
You now can settle investment support, which where posted during the
current fiscal year. Up to now it was only possible to post the
investment support during the capitalization year on the final asset.
Changes to Postings
As of SAP R/3 Enterprise Core 4.70 (SAP_APPL 470), the following
changes have been made to posting transactions:
The old posting transactions based on AB01 allowed a generic retirement on
the asset subnumber. The new Enjoy posting transactions now generally
allow generic posting to a subnumber (acquisitions, retirements, post-
capitalization and intracompany transfers) using the Multiple assets
function.
It is now possible to post a retirement to a fixed asset using the FI
transactions without posting values to book depreciation. Previously this
was not possible and the system issued an error message.
