Impairments on a different asset account

Question

Dear SAP experts,
I would like to make impairments on a bond, the amount that needs to be impaired should fall on a different asset account.
Normally when impairing the amount goes out of your original asset account.
Is there a way to do this? Can we play around a bit with our posting specs? I am afraid that system will not understand when bond finally comes at maturity (system needs to credit/debit two accounts in this case instead of one account in standard setup).
Any help is alot appreciated!!

Hi,
By standard you can make it to pick the another asset account during impairment.  You can configure your posting specification accordingly.
However, at the final repayment, you it will post and clear either this account or the standard bond account because there will be only 1 posting specification for the final repayment.   Just wanted to understand whether this is a standard requirement because this doesn't look like a standard procedure. 
Anyway, you can as a workaround define a condition type and add this in the security master manually once impairment is done with the corresponding impairment amount.  You can have the due date as the final repayment date.  On this day, now your new condition type will clear the impairment amount while the final repayment will clear the full amount.
