Dear SAP Gurus,
I have following requirements regarding Asset Accounting:
At present, in Depreciation Area for Group Reporting *'3-Only depreciation posted in the General Ledger'* rule was configured.
Now, that rule is changed to "2-Post assets periodically in General Ledger" and Account Determination is done for posting APC and other Balance Sheet Accounts Accordingly.
Please describe the detail process like how to transfer existing balnce of APC to newly created Account for APC and posting will take place in APC of Group if a new asset is acquired.
Please reply soon its urgent.
Points will be awarded.

Hi Ekhlaque,
When you look in your setup for G/L accounts you see (AO90)
- Bal. sheet account: Acquisition and production costs              (BAL)
- Contra account: Acquisition value posting                               (BAL)
- Accumulated depreciation account for ordinary depreciation     (BAL)
- Expense account for ordinary depreciation                              (P&L)
The offset account you use is Contra account: Acquisition value posting.
With this setup you have to run before the depreciation run the program ASKB - Periodic Posting. (this create the "double" posting on your G/L accounts. The Depreciation run will works for are 01 ands this area.
Offend this setup is used for US-Books area 01 and XX for local (tax) books  
During the year the total values on these G/L accounts are 0.
With the year end closing the value  Expense account for ordinary depreciation should be posted on  the Contra account: Acquisition value posting                               .
(TC FS00  the Expense account for ordinary depreciation  should be assigned to a  P&L statement account type that is posting to the Contra account: Acquisition value posting depreciation)  
Offen these accounts are created in the 9 account group and you have 2 balance sheet version.   A normal one and one whit these accounts
