Settlement of AuC to Completed Assets
The following phases of AuC are relevant to FI-AA:
- The under construction phase
- The useful life phase
During these two phases, the asset is shown in two different balance sheet items. Therefore, they are managed using different objects or asset master records for the under construction phase and for the completed assets.
The transfer from the under construction phase to the completed assets is referred to as capitalization of the AuC.
Depending on the functions needed, you can manage AuC in FI-AA in the following ways:
As a normal asset master record for summary settlement
As an asset master record with line item management
AuC – Settlement on a Line Item Basis
When you capitalize the AuC, you transfer the values to one or more completed assets on a line item basis. The system automatically separates the transactions from the current year and previous years. In doing this, the system uses different transaction types.
You can use Investment Management (IM) for large investment measures, where you would also like to add internal activities and map these activities in the system.
To settle the AuC on a line item basis to one or more completed assets, proceed as follows:
Assign a settlement profile (SAP standard profile = AI) to your company code in Customizing for Asset Accounting Transactions→Capitalization of Assets under Construction→Define/Assign Settlement Profiles.
Select all line items that you want to settle in the same value amount to the same receiver.
Define the distribution rules for these line items.
Post the settlement of line items to the specified receivers using the distribution rule.
Note that this posting procedure settles all line items to which you assign a distribution rule.
If you want to settle using amounts, select and distribute one line item after the other. When you settle, you do not have to settle all line items at once, and you do not have to distribute 100% of each line item.
