Accumulated Depreciation Balance in AA is not matching with GL account

[Former Member]

Hi Guru's

The balance of Accu. Depre. in AA is not equal to GL account balance. I ran report for one asset class, it shows Acc. Depre. Balance is 1,20,000 but I wanted to open FBL3N and gave GL account to getting balance is 1,00,000.

Kindly help me for the incident.

Thanks,

Dear MowliT,

It's better you check it again with transaction ABST2. Any different between AA and GL will be showed in this report.

Your company has just finished migration or go-lived for a long period already ?

Hi,

Thank you.

It is go-lived in 2000. Now we have been supported that project.

Kindly help me to solve this incident.

Dear MowliT,

For your trouble, the cause can be many so please refer to information below, it may help you to figure out the solution.

Critical Factor

The values in Asset Accounting do not agree with the balances of the general ledger accounts. As possible consequences, the external auditor might not be able to certify the closing, or it may not be possible for the closing to be submitted to tax authorities.

Recommendation and Troubleshooting Perform a reconciliation of the values of Asset Accounting with the balances of the general ledger accounts. We recommend the following procedure:

1. Start report RAABST02. If the report logs differences in table EWUFI_BAL (table FAGLFLEXD if the New G/L functionality is active) , proceed with the following steps. If the report does not find any differences, the general ledger and subsidiary ledger are consistent to each other.

2. For the account concerned, compare the last two fiscal years using the account display transaction (FS10N or FAGLB03 in New G/L) in the General Ledger. If the closing balance and opening balance differ, you have to start the balance carryforward program again for the current year.

3. Create two asset history sheets for the accounts involved using the following parameters:

u2022 Limiting the account assignment or the asset class in the dynamic selections

u2022 Sort version 0020

u2022 Group totals

u2022 Report date u2013 fiscal year end of prior year and current year

u2022 Setting u201CDepreciation postedu201D If the starting and final value of the asset history sheets are different, you should repeat the fiscal year change in asset accounting ( transaction AJRW).

If the starting and final values are still different after you repeat the fiscal year change, then check to see if there is an asset with a capitalization date but without acquisition data. Follow the procedure outlined in SAP Note 194635.

4. The asset history sheet for the previous year does not agree within itself when you cross-foot. In this case:

a) Start RAABST01 for accounts with line item management.

b) Start RAABST02 for reports without line item management.

c) If the balance carryforward is affected, you now have to reset the year-end closing, perform depreciation recalculation, possibly carry out a depreciation posting run, and then run the year-end closing again.

5. The starting balance values of the current year do not agree with the value of the balance display. There are various possible causes, that then also require different actions on your part.

a) The difference arose already during the legacy data transfer. In this case, contact SAP Remote Consulting.

b) Missing line items. To see which line items are involved, see the log of RAABST01 or RAABST02. There are two possible scenarios:

u2022 Missing line items during asset acquisition. These can be created easily using report RACORR05. In the case of multiple account assignments, use report RACORR05A.

u2022 Missing line items during asset retirement. These can not be created using report RACORR05. In this case, contact SAP R/3 Support, describing the exact parameters of the asset concerned.

c) Line items with incorrect acquisition year. This situation is found at times with postings from invoice verification (transactions MRHR or MIGO). For correcting this problem, there are a number of correction reports that are listed in SAP Note 366848. If you are unsure of how to proceed, contact SAP Support.

d) Account determinations that have errors or are incomplete can also cause differences, which cause errors during the euro conversion, if not before. For these errors, you should now, at the latest, consider your results from point 2.

e) Manual postings to asset balance sheet accounts. In this case, contact SAP Remote Consulting, with the document numbers involved.
