What is SAP Asset

Accounting about.

•  Asset accounting concerns the management of complex fixed assets that are at long-term disposal of an enterprise for the purpose of value creation.

•  SAP Asset Accounting abbreviation is FI-AA. •  Fixed assets are frequently valuated in accordance with

IFRS or U.S. GAAP. •  The depreciation posting run and its parallel valuation

is a main feature within Asset Accounting. •  Fixed assets can be divided into:

–  Tangible fixed assets (machines, buildings) –  Intangible fixed assets (licenses, patents) –  Financial assets (shares, loans, securities)

•  When the SAP is being implemented, the main task is to map the organization and structures of the enterprise in the system.

•  Chart of depreciation – Need to assign to a Company Code. It is a directory of Depreciation areas. Usually is set per Country.

•  Depreciation area – Shows the valuation of a fixed asset for a particular purpose.

•  Each company uses one Chart of Accounts and one Chart of Depreciation (and they are independent).
