Offsetting Account
Offsetting Account
Symptom
In certain Asset Accounting postings, the 'Offsetting Account Number' field is output incorrectly. This field should display the
account number of the corresponding offsetting lines.
By default, the account of the document offsetting line with the largest amount is output as the offsetting account number. If
the document contains multiple transactions, for example:
multiple acquisitions to assets with different account determination
different depreciation types for an asset (for example, ordinary and special depreciation), each with different account
determination
an incorrect value might be determined and listed in the 'Offsetting Account Number' field at the level of the entire document.
Solution
Please note that the value in the 'Offsetting Account Number' field is only for reporting purposes. The relationship displayed
here between a posting item and its offsetting line in the document cannot be effected correctly in all cases because it is
impossible to assign each document line item to a unique offsetting line in every business transaction. In particular, this
applies if multiple business transactions/transactions are posted in a single document.
This SAP Note provides corrections so that this relationship is mapped correctly even if there are further transactions in the
same document in the case of a unique relationship between posting items of an asset transaction.
Example:
Posting item for balance sheet account APC (KTANW) for posting item for acquisition value contra account (KTANSG)
Posting item for accumulated depreciation account for special depreciations (KTSAFB) for posting item for expense
account for special depreciations (KTSAFG)
In the case of postings where there is no unique relationship between document lines (for example, accumulated depreciation
postings and revenue postings for asset retirements, or intracompany transfers or final settlements), the offsetting account
number is still determined from the offsetting line with the largest amount.
Implement the advance correction.
