Hi,

I need some information on implementing report RAPERB2000. (Periodic APC Posting Run), transaction code ASKBN.

I have read that one needs to activate a control for running this report, and this activation cannot be set back or changed once activated.

I would like to know the steps, configuration and other important things that need to be followed for implementing this report.

Please provide your valuable suggestions.

points will be duly assigned.

thanks in advance.

Periodic Asset Postings

Purpose

This program posts APC values from depreciation areas designated in the chart of depreciation as posting periodically. In contrast to RAPERB00, the existing report for periodic APC posting, the new report generates documents directly, without using batch input.

Prerequisites

The depreciation areas have to be set for periodic posting to the general ledger in the chart of depreciation.

Account determination has to be maintained appropriately for these depreciation areas in Customizing for Asset Accounting.

You should check the posting rules in Customizing for Asset Accounting before running the report for the first time.

Features

The report evaluates all asset transactions since the last run. Unlike the periodic depreciation posting program, the APC posting run is not tied to a certain accounting period. It generates one document per posting period and depreciation area. That means that asset values are summarized for various account groups in one document. Document number assignment is external. You have to enter the document type in Customizing for Asset Accounting.

There are various possible ways of posting APC values:

To an account set within the original company code

To an account set of an alternative company code

To an account set directly in a special ledger

The account set can be determined from a different depreciation area.

Derived depreciation areas can be treated as real depreciation areas. This means that the system posts APC differences rather than special reserves, as was the case up to now.

During a test run, the system completes all accounting checks (for example, budgetary control of objects belonging to Funds Management).

Selection

On the initial screen of the report, you can choose a line item list. You can also choose whether or not line items that were already updated directly are listed in the log. In the standard system they are listed.

The document total overview shows the complete total, including the directly posted values. The report actually posts only those line items that were not yet updated. If you do not select this option, the document total overview shows only the overall total of the line items updated by the report.

Output

The report is displayed using ALV grid control. You can create your own layouts and run the report with them. The report display always automatically hides empty columns.

Any documents that were automatically updated in the background are also listed in the log, if you request this. You can recognize them since their reference number is initial (blank or 0).

Activities

As long as you have not made any extra mapping settings (for example, for posting to a special ledger) in Customizing, then you can switch back and forth between the old and new APC posting programs at any time. The new functions, however, are only available in RAPERB2000.

Thanks
