You use the current activity to activate new functions for new Asset Accounting.
Requirements
You have performed steps 1 to 5.
For more information, see Prepare New Asset Accounting and Check Prerequisites for
Activating Asset Accounting (New).
Standard settings
You activate the new functions for new Asset Accounting by selecting the option Active in the
New Asset Accounting group box in this activity. When you save, the system performs various
checks before it actually saves this setting. This includes the following checks:
Have all direct postings been made to the general ledger (also called V2 postings)?
Have all periodic postings (using program RAPERB2000) to the general ledger been
completed?
If they have not been completed, start program RAPERB2000 manually.
Are your Customizing settings consistent?
If the system has performed the checks successfully and saved the settings, new Asset
Accounting is active and you can post using the new posting logic from this point on.
Activities
Activate new Asset Accounting by selecting the option Active in the New Asset Accounting
group box in this activity and then saving.
Note:
It might be that you do not want to change the value for the Customizing switch for new Asset
Accounting (PARALLEL_VAL) and additional configuration data using a transport, but instead
you want to change them directly in the client (Customizing client or test client, for example).
To do so, you can use a transaction to execute the check and activation that otherwise tak place
during the transport. For more information, see the documentation of the program Check of
Prerequisites for Parallel Valuation in FI-AA (New).
Other Activities
For Step 7b): Check the prerequisites for activating new Asset Accounting.
We recommend that you execute this activity in the downstream system before importing the
value for the Customizing switch for new Asset Accounting (PARALLEL_VAL) and the other
configuration data. For more information, see the documentation for the activity Check
Prerequisites for Activating Asset Accounting (New).
Step 8: Import the new Customizing settings into your production system.
Transport your settings from your test system to the production system.
The system performs checks again during the import to the production system.
In order for the system to be able to activate the new posting logic in the productive system,
you need the following authorization:
S_CTS_ADM (Administration Functions in Change & Transport System) with the value

CTS_ADMFCT = IMPA (Import All Transport Requests)

Before you can post in your production system, you need to ensure that the transport ran
completely.
Note:
If you do not import to a productive system, but to another downstream system (test system or
Customizing system), you need the following authorization:
S_TABU_DIS = table maintenance (using standard tools, such as transaction SM30) with the
values
ACTVT (activity) = '02' (add, change, or delete table entries)

DICBERCLS (authorization group) = 'AC'
