Question on SAP Asset Accounting

[Former Member]

Dear Friends,

We are working on a new enhancement for our project. In this development we have to implement parallel ledger with Asset Accounting. We have already Asset Accounting implemented, and two months of depreciation already posted. The current COD is now used by 4 company codes across 4 countries.

Our Requirement.

1. We have 4 ledgers. with OL, we have US for US GAAP, and two Nonleading ledger LS, LT for Australia, Local reporting. The requirement is the Asset posting happening in Asset environment should hit all the ledgers( OL, US, LS, LT)

Solution planned -  We thought  to create a new COD and assign the depreciation areas with the ledger groups . BUT WE ARE NOT SURE HOW CHANGING THE COD IN THE SYSTEM IN THE SYSTEM WILL IMPACT.

2. We have another requirement. for any acquisition of Low Value Asset, we have to

For Australian reporting the entry should be

Asset A/C  ....... DR

      to Vendor A/C

For US reporting the same transaction entry should be

Asset Expenses A/C ........... DR

       To Vendor.

Solution Planned - We planned to create two different Depreciation Area for LVA transaction and for one LVA depreciation area we will maintain Asset Account in APC account and in another LVA depreciation Area we will maintain Asset Expenses GL as APC account. BUT not sure how the system will react.

Please reply the above doubt. We are in a very critical position in our project.

HI ,

For point 1

You can define depreciation area and in Integration wth GL you can define the Traget ledger group of posting  for each depreciation as below screen shot

For Point 2 you can create a depreciation key with 100 % which will depreciate asset fully in same here and will book as expese . I have done this for many conutries and it works without effecting any other thing in system .

Please test these in you test system and let me know if you need more help .

many Thanks
