Reply from Sunny on Sep 26 at 1:54 PM Thanks Ron for your reply. So please let me clarify a few steps. 1) I will keep using the same Acquisition, depreciation and accumulated depreciation accounts as they are being used today 2) I will only upload the Legacy Data through AS91 so that system would start calculating future depreciation. 3) I will write down the correct Acquisition cost and accumulated depreciation in the AS91 Takeover Values. 4) I will not perform OASV entries as they are not needed but can you please elaborate True-Up as I am posting the difference in the asset sub ledger so why would I need True Up entry?

I know it is long message but I will really appreciate anybody's input in this complicated situation. The client is using SAP for last 6 years and for some reason they were calculating depreciation on the side in Excel and were posting entries to the depreciation and accumulated depreciation accounts manually. They also have acquisition accounts and they have been posting into these accounts as they buy new assets. In other words, they've never used AFAB or F-90 OR AW01N. I have configured the Asset Accounting for new assets with new GL accounts for all of the asset classes and it is working fine but I am confused how I should move Legacy Data in FI. I am thinking that it will double the postings as acquisition, depreciations and accumulated depreciations are already in the system. How should I tackle this situation? Should I go ahead and just post AS91 for these legacy assets without OASV FI entry? The system will start calculating Depreciation going forward for Legacy Assets through AFAB by per asset. Or should I go ahead and post AS91 for these legacy assets with OASV FI entry and then block these takeover accounts for any other postings? The Takeover accounts will have the difference of Asset Acquisition Cost and Accumulated Depreciation as of Transfer Date after the following GL entry per asset class Furniture (Acquisition Cost) DR $1000 Asset Takeover Account (Balance Sheet Account) CR $1000 Asset Takeover Account (Balance Sheet Account) DR $600 Accumulated Depreciation Furniture CR $600 Please let me know the best solution and I will really appreciate your help.
