Asset Registration that exists prior to AA implementation

[former_member233246]

Hello,

The FI-AA implementation is currently taking place, however the company has assets that were acquired and started to depreciate before the AA module implementation, like in 2009.

Any ideas how can I register the asset with both the acquisition value and depreciations withou opening the previous fiscal years?

Thanks for your attention.

Use AS91 to post prior year assets to FI-AA. Remember to use the original capitalization date in the Capitalized on field to ensure that SAP will assume the original start date for each depreciation areas. You will not have any impact into the FI, then you don't need to open FI periods/years. Also you don't need to open previous years in FI-AA.

I hope this helps.

You should research on Legacy asset data transfer (AS91).

To give you an overview, Legacy asset data transfer is a standard tool provided by SAP to migrate assets from legacy system to SAP. You should know the Total cost of the assets, accumulated depreciation on the year of migration (current year) and expected NBV. In AS91, you put these details in "Take-over values" tab.

Once you create assets using AS91, you should post asset costs, accum dep manually in general ledger as AS91 only updates values in asset level. Once amounts are posted in general ledger, SAP will automatically calculate depreciation on the current and future years.

Hope this helps.

Thanks!
