SAP S/4 HANA Finance New Asset Accounting Depreciation Guide

This document provides an overview of the changes and enhancements in the New Asset Accounting module in SAP S/4 HANA Finance, specifically focusing on depreciation.

The New Asset Accounting module in SAP S/4 HANA Finance replaces the classic Asset Accounting found in ECC 6.0. One of the key changes in the New Asset Accounting module is the introduction of a new depreciation program, FAA_Depreciation_Post, which posts pre-calculated planned values. This is a shift from the ECC 6.0 approach where depreciation was calculated in real-time.

The new functionality is consistent across both S/4 HANA OP Edition 1709 and S/4 HANA Finance OP Edition 1503. Other changes in the New Asset Accounting module include:

  • Planned depreciation is now updated with each master record change and every posting to the asset.
  • The depreciation run now posts these pre-calculated values.
  • Journal entries are updated at the asset level in financial accounting.
  • Period-end closing can be executed even if there are errors on individual assets.
  • The depreciation run screen (transaction code AFAB) has undergone changes, including options to run depreciation for multiple company codes and a new tab to display details of the last depreciation run.
  • The document also discusses the depreciation posting rules in New Asset Accounting, including the removal of the “Smoothing” option.

The document provides a structured approach to understanding the enhancements in the New Asset Accounting module in SAP S/4 HANA Finance, with a focus on depreciation.

Automatic Account Determination Process in SAP MM-FI (ECC / S4HANA)

This document is a detailed guide on the Automatic Account Determination Process in SAP MM-FI (ECC / S4HANA). Here’s a summary of the key points from the document:

  1. Integration with SAP MM and FI Module: The FI Module is linked with the MM Module because operations like Goods Receipt and Invoice Receipt directly impact the financial operation of the organization. Inventory postings update the G/L Accounts online in the background.
  2. Roles of Automatic Account Determination: In SAP MM, the procurement process involves costs that need to be paid to the vendor. Some configuration for account determination is done so that the system will automatically determine the correct G/L account that needs to be posted.
  3. Customizing: This involves several steps including:
    • Assigning the Company Code to Chart of Accounts
    • Setting the Valuation level (T-code OX14)
    • Grouping Together Valuation Areas
    • Defining Material type (T-code OMS2) and Valuation class
    • Defining Account Grouping for Movements Types
    • Configuring Automatic Postings
  4. Managing Message number no M8147 Account determination: This issue means that the system cannot update a G/L account for a transaction. You cannot post the transaction. This issue can occur in MIGO (goods receipt) and MI07 (when you post inventory difference in physical inventory). The solution is to use the OBYC t-code and go to the GR/IR clearing account (WRX).
  5. Table (T030) to get the details of OBYC: If you want to know transaction keys based on G/L Account or the G/L Accounts based on Transaction keys / valuation grouping code /Account modifier / chart of accounts, you can use two t-codes: SE11 (to display the structure of the tables (T030)) and SE16N (to see the content of table (T030)).

The document also provides several examples and simulations to illustrate the concepts and steps involved in the Automatic Account Determination Process.
