ASKB postings

Hello All,
Currently I have depreciation area "31" configured to 4 -Area Posts APC Directly and Depreciation. We have assigned the local ledger to this area. Currently the issue is whenever we have an APC there is double booking to the local ledger. I thought have 31 configred to "4 -Area Posts APC Directly and Depreciation" would solve this issue but the system is asking to run ASKB when I close my asset year.
Any work around to not to have double booking?
Regards,
Prem

Hello Brigtte,
I did set the area based on the parallel valuation for depreciation area:
01 Area 0L Local GAAP -> 1
31 Area 31 IAS 3 CL (local ledger) : Note this is the area I use to revalue for Inflation.
73 Derived area 6 CL (local ledger)
I ran inflation posted the revalued amount; APC is not double booking in my "CL" local ledger anymore.
However I have an error when I close the asset year; asking me to run ASKB.
I ran ASKB and I am getting the below error:
"Error when creating line items using line item schema SAP_200_001...
Message no. AA548
Diagnosis
The system found inconsistencies in the structure of the FI document line items. Line item schema SAP_200_001 does not provide reliable results in relation to posting to the general ledger.
Procedure
Check line item schema SAP_200_001 for this posting transaction. There are two possible causes for the error:
1. A value field was updated on the asset, and this value field is updated to a reconciliation account in FI (for example, an asset balance sheet account, accumulated depreciation or down payments), but there is no line item defined for this value field in the line item schema.
2. The error message can also be caused by incorrect account allocation. In order to find out if you have incorrect account allocations in the account determination for Asset Accounting, carry out a consistency check of the accounts. The consistency check is part of FI-AA Customizing."
I ran the consistencies check for GL account config everything seems fine. Any idea about this issue.

Hi,
If I understand you correctly, you have set up a ledger scenario.
You mentioned that in OADB you have indicator '4' set, which I assume is in the derived area.
However, the derived area should have indicator 5 or 6.
Ensure that you have the correct ledger scenario in place: refer to the standard ledger scenario logic documentation.
A basic configuration of depreciation areas and posting indicators in asset transaction OADB should be:
Posting to G/L Ledger
Area 01 local GAAP 1 -> 0L
Area XX IAS 3 -> 1L (your ledger code)
Area YY (IAS -local GAAP) 6 -> 1L (your ledger code)
Same needs to be done for other ledgers if you have.
Be aware also that according to ledger scenario logic acquisition/transfer/retirement postings in area 01 go to ALL ledgers, independently of the setting in OADB (this is not an error). The difference is posted through the derived area.
I hope this helps.
Best regards,
Brigitte

Reverse ASKB postings

Dear all,
During the upgrade from 4.7 to 6.0 I go an error while Running ASKB restart posting run.
The error message is:
Errors occurred during the posting run Message no. APERB003. Company code CZ11, depreciation area 10, fiscal year 2009, account group Z1051 (Serious error occurred during repeat run Message no. APERB008)
According to SAP note 859617 this error could be due to one of the asset balance sheet accounts involved (APC account, accumulated depreciation account) is controlled as a reconciliation account for fixed assets (account type A in the account master record). I have checked all customizing for the Account determination and none of the accounts is defined as reconciliation account. I have run T-code OAK4 and I have no issues with the account groups of company code CZ11
Could someone tell me how to have RAPERB2000 run reversed? Or how to resolve this issue. I have tried to reverse the documents generated by the RAPERB2000 run with T-code FB08 however is not possible.
Thanks in advance,
Nuno

Good Afternoon Nuno,
Did you got any answer to your question? I've discovered that this problem occured to me after I changed depreciation areas G/L code 4 to 2 after I've executed ASKB first time.
I need to keep G/L 2 for depreciation areas at the same time execute ASKB.
Regards.

Postings to G/L accounts with open item management are not permitted in ASKB

Hi Gurus,
I have the error FAGL_POST_SERVICE012 'Postings to G/L accounts with open item management are not permitted' when i run the transaction ASKB. The very strange thing is that in table APERB_ITEMS for this company code there isn't any record. My questions are:
1. The ASKB posts only if the APERB_ITEMS is populated?
2. If yes, Why the ASKB wants to create postings on this company code?
3. If no, which are the logic conditions that include a asset in the ASKB execution?
4. If the logic is correct, how i can to run the ASKB on OI accounts?
Thanks in advance,
Best Regards,
Emanuele

Hi ,
I believe you know why do you run transaction code ASKB if not please see below
The report evaluates all asset transactions since the last run. Unlike the periodic depreciation posting program, the APC posting run is not tied to a certain accounting period. It generates one document per posting period and depreciation area. That means that asset values are summarized for various account groups in one document. Document number assignment is external. You have to enter the document type in Customizing for Asset Accounting.
There are various possible ways of posting APC values:
To an account set within the original company code
To an account set of an alternative company code
To an account set directly in a special ledger
The account set can be determined from a different depreciation area.
Derived depreciation areas can be treated as real depreciation areas. This means that the system posts APC differences rather than special reserves, as was the case up to now.
During a test run, the system completes all accounting checks (for example, budgetary control of objects belonging to Funds Management).
While doing above system reads and update table APERB_ITEMS . If you look to Program for ASKB is RAPERB2000 and if you take your ABAper help to under the coding he will tell you that is program use APERB_ITEMS to update and read.
MANY THANKS

Duplicated Postings - ASKB

Hello everyone,
We have created an additional depreciation area which posts APC values and Depreciation periodically (posting rule is set to 4).
Derived Area is set to zero.
We posted asset aquisition using transaction code F-90 (T.T. 100) and everything looks great.
But when we run ASKB, posting is duplicated in the non-leading ledger.
Any ideas?
Thank you,
Sofia

Thank you Ajay for your reply.
The initial configuration of our depreciation areas is set to 1-3-6, as you suggested.
Now, we are trying to switch our AA approach due to a different requirement.
Scenario: Local asset aquisition (leading ledger) applies to tangable asset whereas IFRS aquisition applies to intangible asset.
We used "limited transaction type" functionality in order to reflect that into our system but in order to be able to post those limited-postings to the non-leading ledger, depreciation area (assigned to non-leading ledger) should be set to 2 or 4.
(Further suggestions related to the scenario requested would be appreciated.)
Here we come again to the duplicated entries.
I've read snotes related to the issue and I have some questions:
During the aquisition entry (classic F-90) , table APERB_ITEMS should be updated or not? (depreciation areas are set to 1-2-0 or 1-2-6)
Is that the "V2-posting" mentioned at snote 1626675 ?
Thank you,
Sofia

ASKB - Periodic Asset Postings

Hello dear all,
When i launch the transaction ASKB in test modefor month 10, i obtain the following error:
- Account 'Revaluation of acquisition and production costs of assets' could not be found for area 88 - for company CC01.
Enter this account in account determination for assets -
The problem is that the system never ask me about this account in the previous months, and we never customize it since the beginning of activities.
Why the system ask me about it today ?
I need your help.
Thanks

Hi,
As mentioned earlier, find out the new assets created, and from table ANLA, find out the asset classes for same, and from ANKA table, get the relevant Account Determnations. Now for these Account Determination(s), APC or Depreciation accounts are not maintained for the dep area 88, and hence system is unable to post for that area and that asset class-account determination.
In table T095 and T095B, input those account determinations and chart of accounts, and you will get entries for all dep areas and the accounts. Here you will be clearly able to see for which dep areas, accounts is not maintained in account determination. Use A090 t-code and mantain those accounts and run ASKB.
Thanks

Year ending closing ASKB

Hi,
Please suggest to me for below given issue.
As per business requirement, we need open new FY2012 and close the old FY2010 and we trying to close the FY2010 in AJAB but system through the error message as u201CTransactions not complete ly periodically posted u201C( message no : AU075),
As per this error message system show the procedure as
1.Check which depreciation areas are supposed to post APC values periodically to Financial Accounting according to their Customizing definitions (indicator: "Post assets periodically in General Ledger")
See the Define How Depreciation Areas Post to General Ledger IMG activity.
2.Start the program for posting APC values. In the Asset Accounting main menu, choose Periodic processing. Start this program in update mode, regardless of whether or not documents are displayed in test mode, or if a message appears stating that there are no documents to be posted.
Start APC Posting Program
As per second step we run the periodic asset postings in AKSB, while running this postings system through the error message as u201CPosting periods 2010 not openu201D and we suggest to business need to open 2010 periods, they are asking once we reopen that period FY 2010 what about FY 2010 result values.
So please suggest to me on urgent basis.
Many thanks in advance for your valuable suggestions

It seems that if you reopen FY10 and run ASKB in live mode you will get postings - and hopefully the postings will net to zero but probably not. Running the test mode should tell you what the outcome would be, accounting wise.
If you do this, chances are that you would also need to rerun AFAR and AFAB depending on whatever comes through ASKB to completed asset records. Again, analyzing ASKB test mode data will tell you whether a depreciation REPEAT would be needed.
If your FY10 g/l has already been audited, or FY11 has already been audited, then you might consider booking journal entry in FY11 (that will reverse in FY12) moving the accounting impact to a year that has not been audited yet. This type of entry is usually referred to as an adjusting entry that defers accounting recognition. I just call it a deferral which is the opposite of an accrual. Hopefully the magnitude of the accounting is not material in the eyes of your auditor.
1) add ASKB to your end of year routines
2) you forgot to close FY10 until you were reminded when you tried to open FY12, as only two fiscal years can be open at same time

ASKB - Purpose

Hi
Though I have myself handled it in the past, I could not recollect due to huge time gap.... I also browsed through various posts of the forum, but could not recollect my understanding yet...
1. (Is this understanding correct??) As far as I remember, ASKB is used to post depreciation for Non-Book Depreciation areas into the Parallel Ledger... i.e. if the posting indicator in OADB is 2 OR 3
2 Area Posts APC and Depreciation on Periodic Basis
3 Area Posts Depreciation Only
2. Another purpose of ASKB., which I remember very clearly is that at the time of Asset Sale, the Profit/Loss on the transaction is calculated as per Dep Area 01 and posted in all other dep areas...
Later on, when ASKB is run, it calculates the Delta values and posts in the parallel dep area and parallel ledger.... However, I could not recollect whether dep is also posted during ASKB or not
3. Posting indicator 2 in OADB is used if APC Values are different for Leading / Non Leading Ledger..
My question is how can an APC value be different for 2 dep areas if I am purchasing an asset for say, 1000 USD.... Assume Indian GAAP is my Book Dep Area 01 and US GAAP is my Dep Area 02....
Is it because of the fact that some expenses like (eg: Freight 50 USD) might be capitalized for Dep Area 02, but not for Area 01????
In that case, how is the differential APC posting 50 USD is made to the Dep Area 02 / parallel ledger from ASKB?? As far as I know, ASKB does not offer any option to enter the 50 USD amount manually for an asset... Is this done from ABSO???
Br, Ajay M

In order to use the ASKBN transaction, you have activate the SAP R3 Enterprise Extension.
First option in the IMG menu.
Requirements: See SAP Note 588364.
This allows you to post directly to the ledger without without having to generate a batch-input session.
In addition, you can post directly online to the general ledger from the dialog posting transaction from depreciation areas other than the master depreciation area 01. Or you can update the values from a depreciation area to a special ledger using a different accounting principle.
This transaction is much, much better to use than the ASKB. Plus it works similar to your deprecaition posting. The only complaint that I have is that you get a "log" in test mode, but it does not create an actual posting log when executed like the depreciation postings creates.
In order to use this transaction, you must configure the depreciation area where you are capturing the non-US GAAP asset requirements to post to the ledger in addition to the Area 01 that will automatically post.
You will also have to establish an external document type, document number range and a reverse document type (OBA7) with account types allowed for Assets and G/L Accounts.
The document type needs to be different from the document type used for the standard depreciation posting (AF) and AA postings (AA). We used AZ. We are also using a number range outside of our standard AA and depreciation document numbers.

Periodic Asset Postings

Hi all,
I need some information about the asset accounting transaction code ASKB for periodic asset postings. I have never used it before and have some difficulty understanding its purpose and the postings that take place while this program is run.
Can anyone please guide me on this?

Error in ASKB "Asset 1-177 0 not in company code LX01'

Hi Experts,
Until Jan. 2009, only 1 depreciation area is activated for company code LX01 (01). For some assets, we had retirements/write-up postings. Came Feb. 2009, dep.area 10 was activated.
With 2009 year-end closing AJAB, the process found an error ' Transactions not periodically posted'. This error upon analysing was due to those assets posted with retirements/write-ups (Jan. 09) and mentioned that ASKB needs to be executed for these assets for deparea 10. It's logical that there are no postings on these new accounts for January and the system should not ask them. For example there also are no depreciation postings in area 10 for January and this does not generate any problem. Then, why in ERP, the ASKB for deparea 10 is needed for those related assets?
Also, I tried to process ASKB for deparea 10 to complete, but another error prompted: Message AA001 'Asset 1-177 0 not in company code LX01'. With this error message, I changed the 'Deactivation on' field in the masterdata and tried to rerun ASKB, but still this error exists. Would you know why or how this error could be eliminated?
Kindly help.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
According to the error message, it seems like The asset does not exist in your company code.
Please check again.

ASKB issue

Hi Gurus,
problem with fixed asset & depreciation accounts .actually upto september of 2009 the depreciation and ASKB have been done,
we could not use some of our transactions related with fixed assets & depreciations for the last two months since our authorizations blocked.
Now, we got back our authorizations but have problems as explained below.
- ASKB is a regular t-code used before the fresh start for local GAAP postings but I did not use it for October and November 2009 due to fresh start.
- When I try to use the same t-code ASKB now I got below message ?there are no documents to process since the last run,right now i want to run the depreciation and ASKB,for this what i have to do,solve this issue.
regards
jana

Hi,
It is not a error. Execute in background if you still get the message "there is no documents ..." this means ASKB doesn't create any documents, run the depreciation.
Hope it helps.

Askb and afab

hi,
1) AFAB makes the postings for all depreciations areas. since it is posting for all area why still need ASKB?
2) ASKB is to post assets periodically in General Ledger. those asset posting in GL is 2 will be posted via ASKB.
Why not post realtime?
3) posting to GL is to post depreciation value to GL? if yes, why there is askb as afab already can do the posting.
thanks

hi,
there are as many depreciation areas, based on clients requirement and also there is country specific requirements.
Foe each depcn area u specify how depcn will be posted and according the use of AFAB and ASKB will be used.
Both are different in functionality wise(one is OLRT and other works as Batch)

Error in ASKB after creating parallel & delta depreciation area

Hi All,
We have APC and depreciation values in Area 1 for an Asset. Now I have created parallel depreciation area 70 and delta depreciation area 90. area 70 posting to parallel ledger. As soon as I created area 90, the following values are showing in AW01N
01 - Dep Area
APC - $45000
Depreciation - 1500
70 - Depr Area
APC - Null
Depreciation - Null
90 - Dep Area
APC - $45000
Depreciation - 1500
So when I run ASKB it gives me an error saying 'Balancing field in Profit center in line item 001 not filled'. The ledger group it is trying to post is the non-leading ledger.
Can you please help.

Hi Murali & Vinod,
Thanks for your replies. The document splitting settings are fine. It was the issue corss-system depreciation are settings. The client had activated area 70 for an Asset in one company code, but did not have it in the transferred Asset in the other company code. It was an intercompany transfer. We fixed this activating area 70 and now it is ok.
Now the problem is after I run ASKB, and check ABST2, the reconciliation report shows a line item with
Account : 1XXXXXX (Accum. Depr A/c)
Ledger : 3G (non leading ledger)
Period : 999
2ndLCGL :example 1000
2ndLC in AA: 0
2ndLC Delta : 1000
3rdLCGL :example 1000
3rdLC in AA: 0
3rdLC Delta : 1000
Leading ledger postings reconcile properly. Non leading ledger APC values in all 3 currencies reconcile properly. Only for Depr A/c in non-leading ledger it is not posting to LC2 and LC3.
Any thoughts?
Regards
Panneer

What is the difference between periodic asset postings and depreciation pos

Hi,
What is the difference between periodic asset postings and depreciation postings in asset accounting.
Regards, Naresh Yadav

ASKBN or ASKB : Periodic asset posting will update acquisition and depreciation in depreciation area other than area 01 which are maintained as post "APC and depreciation on periodic basis" by using ASKB or ASKBN
Separate set of GL accounts will be used for ASKBN. You can run ASKBN or ASKB as and when you need it and not necessarily nonth end
AFAB : To post a book depreciation at every period and this activity usually every month end which posts depreciation 01 Book Depreciation and other areas maintained as realtime at OADB

Schedule Depreciation Job AFAB / ASKB

Hi,
Can anybody help me on how to schedule step by step AFAB and ASKB jobs ? They will run in different days, so I assume it will be 2 separate jobs but not sure.
Any help is welcome.
Regards
Roger

Hi,
AFAB is for posting depreciation as a part of month end activity. Define a variant such that the fiscal year / period changes every month. But, it is always better to execute the depreciation run first in Test mode. If a background job is set up it has to be production run.
ASKB is for Asset periodic postings. This can also be set up as a background job. Are you executing this every month?
You can take help of Basis Consultant in setting up the jobs.
Thanks
Murali.
