Ledger approach: The operational document posts to the “technical clearing account” being valid in all accounting principles (without specifying a ledger-group) The accounting principle specific documents performs postings to the technical clearing account by accounting principle (and ledger-group). 7 . Example for an integrated asset acquisition for the ledger approach. different amounts have to be activated due to the accounting principle. Entering the data for the vendor invoice generates the following documents: (1) ‚Technical Clearing Account Acquisition‘ to Vendor being valid for all accounting principles (LG Blank) (2a) Asset to ‘Technical Clearing Account Acquisition‘ being valid for accounting principle IFRS (LG 0L) (2b) Asset to ‘Technical Clearing Account Acquisition‘ being valid for accounting principle local GAAP (LG N1) Entering the data to correct the freight costs for local GAAP. restrict transaction to the accounting principles local GAAP (3) Freight expenses to Asset being valid for accounting principle local GAAP (LG N1) 8 . different amounts have to be assigned due to the accounting principle.Example for an integrated asset acquisition for the ledger approach. 9 . 10 . 11 .

Classic Real Estate (RE classic) is not compatible with New Asset Accounting. In case the new depreciation engine is not active yet: when migrating to SAP Accounting powered by SAP HANA then the system will automatically activate Enterprise Extension Financials Extension (EA-FIN) (implicit new depreciation engine). Check for each company code in FI which is being assigned to a depreciation plan that the parallel currency set up is complete: In ledger solution applies for each valuation: the parallel currency in the general ledger (in the leading ledger and in the non-leading ledger) and in the depreciation areas in asset accounting need to be the same. In case classic general ledger is used on your system: when migrating to SAP Accounting powered by SAP HANA then the system will automatically be migrated to new general ledger. In account solution applies for the leading valuation: the parallel currency in the general ledger and in the depreciation areas in asset accounting need to be the same. This is also valid for the Business Function JVA. Classic general ledger and classic asset accounting is not supported any more. No pending postings: no outstanding V2 postings. The following components are not compatible with SAP Accounting powered by SAP HANA New Asset Accounting: Joint Venture Accounting (JVA) is not compatible with New Asset Accounting (and vice versa). IMG: Financial Accounting (New) -> Asset Accounting (New) -> General Valuation -> Currencies And set up in financial accounting: IMG: Financial Accounting (New) -> Financial Accounting Global Settings (New) -> Ledgers -> Ledger -> Define and Activate Non-Leading Ledgers Remark: Which parallel depreciation areas for parallel currencies are necessary for the ledger approach le in comparison to the account approach? For the ledger solution approach: Parallel currency setup for: the company code in FI need to correspond to the set up in FI-AA (parallel depreciation areas) for the leading valuation and non-leading ledgers in FI need to correspond to the set up in FI-AA (parallel depreciation areas) for the non-leading valuation. You are able to reconcile the balance sheet in FI and sub-ledger FI-AA concerning parallel currencies. Parallel Currency Configuration must be completely in sync between G/L and FI-AA sub ledger.With Asset Accounting (New). 21 . For the account approach: Parallel currency set up for the company code in FI need to correspond to the set up in FI-AA for the leading valuation (parallel depreciation areas) . Before migrating your system to SAP Accounting powered by SAP HANA it is essential to perform all periodic postings. It is not possible to post them later (after the migration)! Please make sure to make a backup before migrating your system to SAP Accounting powered by SAP HANA 22 . 23 . 24 . you still must migrate your chart of depreciation plans.g.

For example the scenarios have to be determined and assigned to the chart of depreciation.Even if you migrate to SAP Accounting powered by SAP HANA from a system (e. an accounting principle has to be assigned to the depreciation areas. You are not able to post in asset accounting before having finished the migration of Asset Accounting in SAP Accounting powered by SAP HANA! 25 . Accounting principles need to be created in the system and afterwards they need to be assigned to ledger groups. Each chart of depreciation is categorized as either ledger approach or as account approach (based as concerns the parallel accounting approach). ledger groups can either be created manually by the user or automatically by the migration program (program FAA_CHECK_MIG2SFIN. an accounting principle has to be assigned to the depreciation areas. „Active“ chart of depreciation: a chart of depreciation which is assigned to a company code. A sample chart of depreciation can not (and does not have to) be migrated.g. tx FAA_CHECK_MIG2SFIN). In table T096 (field PARVAL SCENARIO) the system stores which scenario is used for parallel valuation. you still have to migrate your chart of depreciation plans. this field is updated automatically by the system. Even if you migrate from a system (e. For example the scenarios have to be determined and assigned to the chart of depreciation. EHP7) having FI-AA (new) already active to SAP Accounting powered by SAP HANA. 26 . for each valuation you need to create a ledger group. For the ledger approach and for the account approach you need to assign a ledger group to the accounting principle. For the account approach the following settings apply: a ledger group can either be created manually or automatically using the migration report (see separate slide). all ledger groups will always be assigned to the leading ledger 0L Each depreciation area needs to be assigned to an accounting principle (and ledger group). 27 . All depreciation areas representing the same accounting principle will be assigned to the same accounting principle (and ledger group). Each accounting principle (which will be assigned to a depreciation area later on) need to be assigned to a ledger group. the depreciation plan will not be migrated during this first execution (due to missing ledger groups). tx FAA_CHECK_MIG2SFIN once again. this ledger group will always be assigned to the leading ledger 0L. To create a ledger group automatically. IMG: Financial Accounting (New) -> Financial Accounting Global Settings (New) –> Ledgers -> Parallel Accounting -> Assign Accounting Principles to Ledger Groups To migrate the depreciation plan you have to execute the migration report FAA_CHECK_MIG2SFIN.
