New Asset Accounting EHP7 - Functionalityand configuration
With SAP Enhancement Package 7, a new functionality is available in Asset Accounting to manage
Parallel Valuations. The following document contains information about use of this functionality for a new
implementation customer. In OSS Note 1776828 SAP recommends activation of New Asset Accounting for
new customers. To use this solution, prerequisite is the use New GL Accounting with Ledger Approach. Prior
to New Asset Accounting, to manage parallel valuations one had to use delta depreciation areas, as only one
depreciation area (01) could post to the General Ledger in real time.
With the new solution it is now possible to post actual values to different depreciation areas in real time.
There's no need for delta postings and delta depreciation areas. In the following paragraphs I shall attempt to
explain the configuration steps involved with an example of our implementation project.
Before you actually begin implementation of New AA, take a stock of Global Settings related to General
Ledger, particularly Ledgers and Currencies. This will help you ascertain the Chart of Depreciation settings
required in Asset Accounting.
E.g. if you have two ledgers for your Company Code (leading and non leading) there must be two depreciation
areas that post in real time.
Note - This is not applicable to Depreciation areas for Investment Support. Also if there are multiple currencies
there must be a depreciation area for each currency. This ensures consistencies between General Ledger and
Asset Accounting sub ledger.
In our case we had:
• Ledgers:
• Leading Ledger for Indian GAAP - 0L• Non Leading Ledger for IFRS - NL
• Additional Currencies:• Group Currency - INR• Hard Currency - EURO
Also we had to implement Investment Support, so additional Depreciation areas were for created for the same.
Also had a separate depreciation area to Income Tax depreciation. This is what the final Chart of Depreciation

This will activate a new path in SAP IMG:
• Copy the chart of depreciation as usual and define your depreciation areas• Assign each depreciation area to a ledger group.• For Depreciation area 60, define depreciation area 01 as Alternate depreciation area for account

• Specify transfer of APC values:
Asset Accounting (New)->General Valuation->Depreciation Areas->Specify Transfer of APC Values
Here we define the reference depreciation area that provides values to other depreciation areas. Depreciation
areas that don't post in real time must takeover APC and depreciation values from a reference depreciation
area.

• Technical Clearing Account
To enable parallel postings to different ledgers system uses a technical clearing account for Asset acquisition
and Investment support postings. This is required from a technical purpose and the balance of this account is
always zero after each posting.
See an example of integrated posting with technical clearing account at Example 1: Acquisition, Integrated
Posting - Asset Accounting (FI-AA) (New) - SAP Library.
The technical clearing account must be a reconciliation account for assets and it can't be used in account
determination for Asset Accounting (for example, tables T095, T095B, T095P)
