All,
I was doing some research on other issues & found this OSS note. We had always wondered how SAP said to handle this.
Interesting point in Note 1070629 - FAQs: New general ledger migration
77. The new general ledger is active. The "Profit Center Update" scenario is assigned to the ledger. Cost centers are stored in the asset account master data. You change the profit center in a cost center that is used in the asset account master data. How are the relevant balances for each profit center (for example, for acquisition and production costs) reposted in the new general ledger?
There is no automatic process that changes balances for each profit center in the new general ledger after the profit center has been changed in a cost center that is used in asset master records. As a workaround, you can perform a manual correction posting.
Proceed as follows:
1) Identify the values that you must repost. For this purpose, you can use the report RABEST01. Fill the field "Cost center" in the selection screen of the report RABEST01 with the cost center that has been assigned to a different profit center.
2) Set the status to "1" in the company codes that require adjustment postings. To do so, use the following path in the implementation guide:
Financial Accounting -> Asset Accounting -> Preparing for Production Startup -> Production Startup -> Activate Company Code.
3) Use transaction OASV to perform adjustment postings to debit or credit the profit center on reconciliation accounts in asset accounting.
4) Afterward, reset the status of the company codes to "0".

Subject: Easier way to change cost center/ profit center on asset master record with New G/L?
Hi,
The profit center for the balance sheet side of the asset posting is determined by the profit center on the cost center master. This is the cost center where depreciation will post located on the "time dependent" tab of the asset record.
If an asset record is changed from cost center A (profit center 1) to cost center B (profit center 2), the G/L will be out of balance from a profit center perspective. The acquisition value will be in profit center 1 but the accumulated depreciation would start posting to profit center 2 after the change.
The only way I can think of to keep the balance sheet in synch is to create a new asset (with the new cost center) & transfer the value. This could be a very cumbersome exercise
Anyone found a better solution?
Thanks! |
