SAP Note 24101 - Update insurable values

Symptom:

You cannot change insurable values after year-end closing.

1. Due to a change of the index figures of the previous fiscal year which became known later, you must recalculate the insurable values for the last closed fiscal year.
You must not do this if only a single year-end closing has been carried out so far and if you want to recalculate the base insurable values for exactly this year. (In this case, apply case 2.)

2. Due to an incorrect legacy data transfer, the insurable values have not been transferred correctly. A recalculation including the transferred cumulated acquisition and production costs is necessary.

3. You want to recalculate the insurable values for a new index series or a completely changed index series.

Other terms

Insurable value, Price index, AS02, Index marker, Base value, RAVERS01, Index series, Insurance, RAVRSN00, INSURANCE_VALUE_CALCULATE

Reason and Prerequisites

The function has not been implemented.
The year-end closing should always be executed after indexes have been updated.
If this is not possible, you can carry out the following workaround solution to recalculate the base insurable values. The system then uses the base insurable values to calculate the insurable values (RAVERS01 and master data display).

Solution

The cases described here are generally consulting requests. Therefore we ask for your understanding for the fact that all other questions regarding insurable values that go beyond this note cannot be answered in the frame of SAP Support.

1. The transactions of the last closed fiscal year must be revaluated with a changed index figure which became known later.

You can deal with this case via the Asset Accounting menu "Tools -> Recalc.base ins.val." (Report RAVRSN00). Please specify the assets for which the insurable values are to be recalculated as exactly as possible.

2. It is the case of Symptom 2, for example if the insurable values were not calculated by the system from the transferred cumulated acquisition and production costs during old data transfer, yet you still decide on this option on completion of the old data transfer.

You can use the following solution, if you have not yet carried out a year-end closing or carried out at the most one year-end closing in R/3.

• Copy Report RAVERS01 to ZAVERS01 and apply the enclosed modifications to the copied report.

• Start Report ZAVERS01. Make sure that case 2 (default) is selected in section 'Calculation in analogy with ...'. As report date, you have to use the beginning of the fiscal year after the legacy data transfer (e.g. legacy data transfer on 12/31/1998 -> report date in program ZAVERS01 is 01/01/1999). In case of a transfer during the year, the report date must be in the year of the legacy data transfer. The system then calculates the base insurable values from the accumulated APC of the fiscal year containing the report date.

• If you have already carried out a year-end closing, start Report ZAVERS01 again, and enter the fiscal year closing date after the legacy data transfer as report date.

• After adjusting the base values, you get the insurable values by starting Report RAVERS01 with a report date at the fiscal year end after the date of the legacy data transfer.

3. If you have already carried out several fiscal year closings but need to carry out a revaluation of the base insurable values with a new index series or a completely changed index series also for the previous years, please proceed as follows (please contact your consultant before using this workaround):

• Copy Report RAVERS01 to ZAVERS01 and apply the enclosed changes to the copied report.

• Start Report ZAVERS01. Make sure that case 3 (NOT default) is selected in section 'Calculation in analogy with ...'. The report date is the last day of the closed fiscal year.

• Carry out these steps for the individual closed fiscal years after the legacy data transfer.
