Creating the Asset History Sheet

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to prepare an asset history sheet

Asset History Sheet

Kevin is asked by his manager to create an asset history sheet for the year-end closing.

The asset history sheet enables you to document and explain the balances on fixed assets for every accounting principle, any local regulation, and for management purposes. SAP provides preconfigured key figure groups that you can use for your reporting. These key figure groups bundle key figure codes, such as acquisitions, retirements, transfers, and depreciation. Certain key figure groups can be used to display key figures in a hierarchy.

The figure illustrates the structure of an Asset History Sheet, which is divided into key figure groups and transaction types. The key figure groups include AHS (posted values) and AHS_PLAN (planned values). The key figures are grouped in transaction types ranges: 100-199 for acquisitions in the current year, 200-299 for retirements in the current year, 300-399 for transfers in the current year, and 500 for depreciation in the current year. Additionally, it includes the asset value at the fiscal year start and the asset net book value.

Use the following SAP standard key figure groups:

	Key Figures Without Hierarchy	Key Figures with Hierarchy
For Posted Values	AHS	AHS_HRY
For Planned Values	AHS_PLAN	AHS_HRY_PL

The Asset History Sheet app displays not only asset transactions but also planned values. It's a legal report that is generated periodically. In addition, the Asset History Sheet is a grid-based app and can show various dimensions.

Call an asset history sheet for year-end closing.

Note

Since no depreciation run is performed in the exercises, we look at the planned values. In practice, the posted values (key figure code AHS) or country/region-specific key figure codes are used.
