SAP FI-AA: Year End Closing Procedure

==> Settle the Assets under Construction (SAP FI-AA transaction AIAB, AIBU) - Settle the Auc settlement before you do dep.run in each period. So, that the new assets created also consider for depreciation based on the requirement.


==> Execute the depreciation run (report RAPOST2000 or transaction AFAB) (SAP FI-AA) - Execute the dep.run in each period without errors. System will not allow to post the depreciation documents with errors. This has to be finished successfully for all the periods.


==> Run the fiscal year change in Asset Accounting (transaction AJRW) (SAP FI-AA) - Execute the FY change only after depreciation posting without errors. System not allows you to change FY with errors.This process creates the balance carry forwards for Asset Accounting. We recommend that you execute this run on the first day of the new fiscal year. Note: by this time, you should have completed year-end closing for Asset Accounting of the previous year.


==> Carry out period asset postings (report RAPERB2000 or transaction ASKB) (SAP FI-AA)- This is usually done in the client where the derived depreciation area' used. Derived depreciation area amounts posted periodically to the G/L. For posting the documents in this transaction, you need to give the document type and that should be external number range. Same like as depreciation run, this also should end with out errors.


==> Run Account Reconciliation (transaction ABST2) (SAP FI-AA) - Once the above steps are through in green, you can run this report to know about the differences between the FI-GL balances and FI-AA balances.This program selects the asset summary records (ANLC), summarizes the values on G/L account and business area levels, and writes the summarized values to table EWUFIAASUM.

==> Execute the year end closing program (transaction AJAB) - After all successful steps you can close the FI-AA year.
