SAP Note 26482 - Selecting by posting date instd of asset value date

Symptom:

The asset value date is the deciding date in Asset Accounting, and not the FI posting date. The asset value date determines the selection of line items in reporting, the calculation of depreciation (RABUCH00), and proportional values. The use of the asset value date can lead to problems in reconciling FI and AM if the asset value date and FI posting date are in different periods. The statement on selection during a RABUCH run is only valid if the 'Catch-up method' is activated in the depreciation posting run. With 'Smoothing', the planned depreciation is distributed to the still open posting periods for which the depreciation is planned, independent of the posting date or the reference date of the transaction.

Cause and prerequisites

Missing functionality

Solution
The correction is included as standard as of Release 2.2G and does not need to be installed for releases after 2.2G.
The correction is included as standard as of Release 3.0B, and must be installed in 3.0 releases up to 3.0A.
It is not possible to provide an advance correction on SAPSERV3. The program change has to be tested extensively in a test sytem.

For 2.2 and 3.0, install the advance corrections below.
Before installing the CODING, create view V_ANEPBU (using SE11).
Create the view as a database view.
(delivery class: BLANK, maintenance status: R). development class: AC
The view contains the table ANEP as primary table, and the table ANEK as secondary table.
Please note: You should create the relationship between ANEK and ANEP using the field LNRAN and NOT the field AUGLN.
As view fields, create all of the fields in table ANEP, as well as the field
MONAT in table ANEK. You can create the view fields with the same names as the table fields.
After creating the view in the Dictionary, you also have to create the view in the database with the database utility (SE14).

After you install the correction, you also have to start the program ZZANEKRP, which is located at the final position in the coding block. This program recognizes and corrects ANEK posting periods that are not set.

Please see Note 35521.
