You have first to set up asset accounting. There is only a link with Chart of accounts when you set-up the g/l accounts for the asset postings.

For the conversion follow the steps in the IMG TC SPRO

Financial Accounting / Asset Accounting / Asset Data Transfer.

In the most cases an LSMW is create to do the asset upload with TC AS91. Manual the balance values are uploaded with TC OASV.

When you seach on this forum with AS91 and OASV you will found all information for different situation how to do the asset upload

There is no direct link you have to set up

A chart of account you assign to a company code is FI

A chart of depreciation are linked to a company code is Asset accounting

With these 2 settings it is linked

The G/L accounts for Asset accounting you set-up with AO90. There you assign it to the chart of account/ depreciation area and asset class
