Recommended practice to activate EA-FIN

1. Take the system backup for Dev, QAS and Production systems.
2. Replicate production data to QAS.
3. Recalculate the values using the program RAAFAR00 (T code AFAR) to ensure that
the data in the old depreciation is consistent. As a precaution, first we run this in a
test mode and analyse any differences occur before executing it in update run.
4. Download the asset register from each system (AR01).
5. Activate EA-FIN in Development system.
6. Execute the program RAAFAR00 (T code AFAR) in test run. If we get any differences,
analyse them and execute it in update run.
7. Compare the current asset register with previous one.
8. Activate the function module EA-FIN in QAS.
9. Repeat the above process in QAS.
10. Take PRD system backup.
11. Activate the function module EA-FIN in Production.
12. Download the asset register from production system.
13. Execute the program RAAFAR00 (T code AFAR) in test run and then in update run.
14. Compare the current asset register with previous one.
15. Change the depreciation key with effect from 1st April'2014 and check the calculation
procedure.

Note: We may get the difference in depreciation calculation because of the below
reasons.

a. Previous changes in depreciation terms.

b. Changes in time dependent data like start date of depreciation, capitalization
date.
c. Change in Calculation procedure from transaction oriented to time interval
oriented.
d. Rounding differences.
e. When there is no depreciation on existing transactions. The above list is not
exhaustive but the chances of getting the differences are in less if the existing
data and transactions are perfect.
