Asset Year End - B/S Issue

[Former Member]

Hi Guys,

We have carried out the year end closing of our company code for the FY 2009 on 20th Jan 2010 in FY 2010. (the transaction AJAB for this company code for 2009 was run on 20th Jan 2010 ).

What happened was, our company has already reported the BS figures ...for 2009.

And when we ran this AJAB, the depreciation difference postings between dep. area 01 and dep. area 02 started appearing on our Balance sheet in SAP for the period 12, 2009.

We want to correct this situation as this contradicts what we have reported and bring back SAP figures in line with the BS figures.

I have done some analysis and the depreciation differences between area 01 and area 02 were posted to the Balance sheet upon running the transaction ASKBN ( periodic postings run : May be AJAB has automatically trigerred this transaction in background and the difference postings for area 25 took place as the dep area 25 was configured to post these periodic postings for the differences ).

However, there is not supposed to be any difference between area 01 and area 02 in FY 2009 and we have corrected this situation in FY 2010 by changing the key of the area 02 to the same key as area 01.

But now, how can we rectify the depreciation differences that got posted on the Balance Sheet ( These were not meant to be like that and by accident, the dep.key for area 02 remained different in FY 2009 ).

Is there any way to reverse the postings that happened for FY 2009 for the depreciation differences between area 01 and area 02.

Thanks a lot.. Any valuable input is greatly appreciated.....

It is not possible to reverse the asset part. What you can do in FI is to make a manual correction and reverse this posting in the new year. (problem is then that at that moment FI and AM are not in line and you have a problem when you want to do a currency conversion for that company in this fiscal year)

The manual correction you can make with the TC ABF1 see SAP note 69225

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the reply.

I donot understand 1 thing. If i post a FI entry in this particular year 2010, How will it adjust the Balance sheet for 2009 ??

How will this posting affect the 2009 depreciation difference posting ?

Also ... one more thing..I could not understand about the currency conversion that you have mentioned..can you explain a little..

Thanks again

You make the posting in 2009 and reverse it in 2010.

In Europe we have some time conversions to the EURO when asset accounting is not in line with FI you get an error with the conversion and have to bring it in line in 2009. When the conversion is in 2011 it is no longer a problem end from 2010 is in line with FI
