1. OVERVIEW OF FIXED ASSETS
The accounting of fixed assets takes place in the sub-module Assets accounting available in the path:
In this module everything relating to fixed assets - accounting for depreciation on fixed assets,
purchase, retirement, settlement, development of in-house assets, assets under construction etc is
done. The reason for having a separate asset accounting module for transactions of fixed assets is
because of their inherent traits like longer life span, need for depreciation, peculiarities like
intangible assets which can’t be subject to normal G/L transactions etc.
2. Chart of Depreciation
Objective: The configurations noted below are for creation of Chart of Depreciation. A chart of
depreciation is a list of depreciation drawn up according to business requirements. The depreciation
rules (such as the depreciation keys) can be defined in the system per chart of depreciation. Therefore,
company codes within the same company usually use the same chart of depreciation. Chart of
Depreciation SFE1 is copied from Chart of Depreciation 1CA in standard SAP setting. 1CA is a general
chart of depreciation of Canada.
2.1 Copy reference chart of depreciation/ depreciation area
IMG > Financial Accounting (New)> Asset Accounting > Organizational Structure > Copy Reference Chart
of Depreciation/Depreciation Areas
Maintain Chart of Depreciation – EC08. SFE1 was created in reference to 1CA (Canadian sample)
using the Copy functionality

ykalra@shefaria.com

2.2 Specify description of chart of depreciation
of Depreciation/Depreciation Areas> Specify Description of Chart of Depreciation
In this step we will specify the specific description for Chart of Depreciation SFE1 which is to be used for
company code SFE1.

ykalra@shefaria.com

Click to edit the description of Chart of Description
Click to save the settings.
2.3 Copy/delete chart of depreciation
Fine tune this chart – add/delete/modify the existing entries of depreciation areas in SFE1 – OADB. We
will retain the standard:

ykalra@shefaria.com

2.4 Assign Chart of Depreciation to Company Code
OAOB / via IMG Steps:
of Depreciation/Depreciation Areas
3. Assign input tax indicator for non taxable acquisition
IMG >Financial Accounting >Asset Accounting >Integration with the General Ledger > Assign Input Tax
Indicator for Non-Taxable Acquisitions
In this step, we specify an input tax indicator per company code. The system
Then uses this indicator when we post acquisitions that are not subject to tax,
but which are posted to accounts that are tax-relevant.
• Assign input tax indicator O0 (Input tax 0%)

• Assign output tax indicator A0 (output tax 0%) to company code 9100 A Ltd.
4. Organizational Structures: Asset Class
Objective: The configurations noted below for Creation of Asset class. The asset class is the most
important criteria for structuring fixed assets from an accounting point of view. Every asset has to be
assigned to exactly one asset class. Based on asset classes, we also assign the account assignment for
the transactions of that that asset class the asset class is used to assign the assets (and their business
transactions) to the correct general ledger accounts. Account Determination, Screen Layout Rules, and
Number Ranges of each Asset Class are assigned to each Asset Class.
4.1 Specify Account Determination

ykalra@shefaria.com

IMG > Financial Accounting (New)> Asset Accounting > Organizational Structure > Asset Class > Specify
Account Determination
Click
Choose to save all the entries.
4.2 Create Screen Layout Rules

4.3 Define Number Ranges Interval
IMG > Financial Accounting (New)> Asset Accounting > Organizational Structure > Asset Class > Define
Number Ranges Interval
Number range interval is required for the main asset number for the company code. Normally we should
specify internal number ranges for assets. The number range key is then assigned to each of the asset
class.
Enter Company Code: SFE1 and choose
Then click to add Number Range Interval for Asset Accounting under company code SFE1

ykalra@shefaria.com
9
Choose to save Number Range entries.
4.4 Define Asset Classes

IMG > Financial Accounting (New)> Asset Accounting > Organizational Structure > Asset Class > Define
Asset Class
The asset class is used to assign the assets (and their business transactions) to the correct general ledger
accounts. Several asset classes can use the same account assignment. You can see that it is possible to
Make finer distinctions at the level of the asset class than at the level of the general ledger accounts.
Click to create Asset Class.

ykalra@shefaria.com

13. Overview of Asset under Construction (AUC)
Assets under construction are a special form of tangible assets. They are usually displayed as a separate
balance sheet item and therefore need a separate account determination in their asset classes. Assets
under construction involve the accumulation of costs during the building or construction of fixed assets
and the capitalization of costs at the completion of construction.
Depreciation rule for AUC:

Ordinary depreciation is not allowed for assets under construction in most countries. You reflect this
limitation by choosing a depreciation key that does not allow ordinary depreciation in the book
depreciation area. To ensure that this depreciation key is protected during master data maintenance,
select the asset class as the maintenance level for the book depreciation area

Execute (AFAB)
Every asset transaction in the Asset Accounting (FI-AA) component immediately causes a change of the
forecasted depreciation. However, an asset transaction does not immediately cause an update of the
depreciation and value adjustment accounts for the financial statements. The planned depreciation is
posted directly to Financial Accounting (FI) when we run the periodic depreciation posting run. This
posting run posts the planned depreciation for each posting level for each asset as a lump sum amount.

up screen does not appear again until you manually choose to change the company code. Therefore,
you are required to put an "If first transaction" condition on the initial company code screen.
Pre-Requisites: To transfer assets between multiple company codes, ensure that your recording
includes the Change company code button. After you the first company code pop-up, you are directed
to the main ABT1N screen. Here, click Change company code and enter the company code. This will
change the company code and also clear the entry that is present in the asset field. (In this transaction,
the asset that has been transferred from one company code to other remains in the asset field even
after saving the transaction.)
