Transfer posting (OASV) issue for the existing Intangible Assets

Question

Hi SAP Experts,
In our system the APC and Acc. Dep. for ord. dep. has maintained the same G/L Account (A090) so due to this in Fin. Statement it shows the Net Book Value. Now, our client wants to migrate to IFRS, as per this it has to show like ( Intangible Assets - Acc. amortization - Acc. Impairment Loss).  Now, I have created new account i.e. 'Accumulated Amortization for Intangible Assets A/c and removed the old G/L A/c (the one which is same for both APC and Acc. Dep.). Now, the old G/L has the APC and Acc. Dep. values so I need to transfer the Acc. Dep. from old G/L to New G/L A/c by using OASV (Transfer posting).
If I make the transfer posting like (the both G/L Accounts are Recon. A/cs)*
      Debit Old G/L A/c    - xx,xx,xxx
      Credit New G/L A/c - xx,xx,xxx
Is it any impact on the values (Intangible Assets) Dep. Area wise? Since, APC and Acc. Dep. already posted to old A/c up to this point of time. Another doubt is, while posting the above entry shall I need to switch off (Reset) Recon. A/c for this Intangible Assets? OR without Reset Recon. A/c can I post this transfer posting? Is this correct procedure or other than this is there any other alternative?
we have 9 Dep. Areas out of which 3 Dep. Areas have posting indicator as '1'. In that out of 3 Dep. Areas one Dep.  Area namely 'Impairment Loss' is there but there are no positings till now. After config. change it should allow ABIF tr. that we completed already.
Could anyone explain why this 'Investment Support' Dep. Area (Impairment Loss) doesn't allow APC values by default?
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Sri.

Hi Sri,
Let me clarify your points individually.
1) From system the prospective, it does not make any diff in functionality for a tangable asset or an intangable asset.
2) Add the new GL account in the respective account dtermination as a balance sheet account for accum dep. (while adding, the GL account should be as recon account)
3) Please switch off the recon account indicator in the both GL accounts with OAMK.
For Ex: Lets say you have already posted APC  value 10000 Dr and Accum dep 2000 Cr to the old GL account, so the net book value will be 8000 Dr.
In this case Please find out the total value of line items (2000 Cr as per the above example) for accum dep, that was already posted to the old GL account.
4) Post a journal voucher through F-02 like
                                                  Old G/L A/c Dr - 2000
                                                                New G/L A/c Cr - 2000
So after passing this entry you will find account balance as 8000 Dr in old GL account and 2000 Cr in new GL account.
5) after passing the above entry you need to switch on the recon account for both the GL accounts
Hope this will help.
Thanks,
Srinu
