Background
The transfer of old asset data using the old assets transaction does affect the balances of the corresponding
reconciliation accounts in Financial Accounting you will need to manually reconcile the balances.
The following steps are required at the time of configuration for Asset Data transfer.
Here we set the company code status as test mode (Status: 2), because we can change values by
transferring asset data from a previous system, or by posting.
In this we have other options like:
0
Here we can determine the sequence in which the system presents the depreciation areas for the asset data
transfer transaction.
We can use these depreciations areas depending on the business scenarios.
And each area represents each depreciation like book dep, tax dep etc..
Fiscal Year
Here we determine the transfer date for the asset data transfer. This date determines the status of
posting to be used for the transfer (posting up to this date will be included in the transfer), not the actual
date the data transfer is carried out. This specification also determines whether you want to perform the
transfer during the fiscal year (with transfer of posted transactions/depreciation in the current fiscal year)
or at the end of the fiscal year (without transactions).
Example.
For suppose if you are transferring the asset in the year 2007 the transfer date must be 12/31/2006 and
if you are transfer in the year 2008 the transfer date must be in 12/31/2007.
