Purpose
This program posts APC values from depreciation areas designated in thechart of depreciation as posting periodically. In contrast to RAPERB00,the existing report for periodic APC posting, the new report generatesdocuments directly, without using batch input.

Prerequisites

• The depreciation areas have to be set for periodic posting to the
general ledger in the chart of depreciation.

• Account determination has to be maintained appropriately for these
depreciation areas in Customizing for Asset Accounting.

• You should check the posting rules in Customizing for Asset Accounting
before running the report for the first time.

Features
The report evaluates all asset transactions since the last run. Unlikethe periodic depreciation posting program, the APC posting run is nottied to a certain accounting period. It generates one document perposting period and depreciation area. That means that asset values aresummarized for various account groups in one document. Document numberassignment is external. You have to enter the document type inCustomizing for Asset Accounting.
There are various possible ways of posting APC values:


• To an account set within the original company code


• To an account set of an alternative company code


• To an account set directly in a special ledger

The account set can be determined from a different depreciation area.

• Derived depreciation areas can be treated as real depreciation areas.
This means that the system posts APC differences rather than specialreserves, as was the case up to now.
During a test run, the system completes all accounting checks (forexample, budgetary control of objects belonging to Funds Management).

Selection
On the initial screen of the report, you can choose a line item list.You can also choose whether or not line items that were already updateddirectly are listed in the log. In the standard system they are listed.
The document total overview shows the complete total, including thedirectly posted values. The report actually posts only those line itemsthat were not yet updated. If you do not select this option, thedocument total overview shows only the overall total of the line itemsupdated by the report.

Output
The report is displayed using ALV grid control. You can create your ownlayouts and run the report with them. The report display alwaysautomatically hides empty columns.
Any documents that were automatically updated in the background arealso listed in the log, if you request this. You can recognize themsince their reference number is initial (blank or 0).

Activities
As long as you have not made any extra mapping settings (for example,for posting to a special ledger) in Customizing, then you can switchback and forth between the old and new APC posting programs at anytime. The new functions, however, are only available in RAPERB2000.
