difference between the AFAB and ASKB

AFAB is the depreciation run.

ASKB is the periodic asset posting.
When you create a posting on an asset it is posted in only in one depreciation area.
When you use more than 1 depreciation area with postings than ASKB will create these postings.
In the depreciation areas you define direct posting or periodocal postings.

The depreciation areas for which APC transactions in periodic processing and depreciation
in periodic processing is specified, to post to general ledger for those depreciation areas we
use ASKB transaction.

2. Unplanned Deprecaition posting in SAP

Any unplanned dep(ABAA) or write up transaction(ABZU) will be stored firstly in FI-AA only
Once you ran the planned dep run (AFAB) for that month, these will be picked up and posted
to FI-GL.

by passing ABAA, system will not post any accounting doc, since it creates and AA
internal document. So you need to do a repeat dep run for the period, then the system
will check the asset for any unposted planned/unplanned depreciations to it. So at this
point system will pass that amount to accounting

3. New Asset Accounting in HANA

All depreciation areas in New Asset Accounting is now equally posted in real-time

A separate line item is produced for each asset postings, including the acquisition and
retirement values, the depreciation P/L charge and the accumulated depreciation, which
allows full visibility in FI

New Asset Accounting no longer requires the use of delta depreciation areas

4. Differenc in AFAB between ECC and HANA

 The major change which is there in S4HANA is related to table

ACDOCA. We can get complete details of the posting at GL’s also and
can get report of the data posted in the accounting principle and Fiscal
Period.

basis of segments based on the International Financial Reporting standards (IFRS) and
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP)

accounting to be implemented.
DOCUMENT SPLITTING: Document splitting helps to create balance sheets for entities that

FAGLFLEXP (plan line items), FAGLFLEXA (actual line items) and FAGL_SPLINFO
(splitting data).

6. Document Splitting

Active :

comprises all processes used to split documents without reference to a different

(preceding) document. You control active document splitting using settings in Customizing.
Active document splitting means document splitting basing on the Business
Transaction/Transaction Variant assigned to the document type and the Item Category assigned
to the GL account. System determines and does the splitting of each line item in the document,
basing on the configuration you have done.
Passive :

creates a reference to existing account assignments

Zero balance :

a zero-balance clearing account is a balance sheet account which is maintained for the

purpose of posting additional clearing entries in the event of the documents are not balanced
with the respect to different dimensions used for your reporting such as profit centre, business
area, segment,
