4.1.1 When the check should be done:
5 Operating Process
5.1 Procedure applied to WP1 companies
5.1.1 Manual check with excel file support:
5.1.2 FI-AA check by transaction Z1F_CHECK_FIAA in WP1 system
5.2 Procedure applied to PF1 companies
5.2.1 FI-AA automatic check by Z1F_CHECK_FIAA in PF1 system
5.2.2 Manual check between FI-AA
The purpose of this document is to describe the process to perform the completeness and reliability check between FI and AA Accounting.
This operating procedure (OP) applies to PF1 and WP1 environments, concerning all companies migrated in SBS-RtR BO and also for companies identified in the scope of extended Front Office.
This check should be done as final step of the AA-closure, after depreciation posting, last settlement of WBS for investment and ASKB.
To keep up the reliability of the information, this comparison check should be reviewed after any changes in the AA module.
The differences between FI and FI-AA for WP1 companies are analyzed by two methods: Manual check is performed with an excel file support and automatically, by transaction Z1F_CHECK_FIAA.
This check is done with the support of an excel file "FI AA Check". Where a sheet with
"Instructions" is foreseen to help in the check performance.
You will find the FI-AA check file template in the SBS-FRM-DRTR-09-016 Check FI-AA WP1.
There are several reports that need to be extracted from AA and FI module:
When retrieving the data from the AA module insure that you are using the proper Depreciation Area:

(To see the details of the picture above, click in the picture and change the view to *View Zoom 200%* )
To check if depreciations are well posted in FI and AA module go to sheet
The file is picking the values automatically from AA module, by vlookup from sheet Asset history sheet the information concerning AA depreciations.
For the FI depreciations there is another vlookup to take the values from sheet CCCC BS (CCCC is the company code).
If there is any difference in the depreciations we will get delta in line:
"DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AA MODULE (ASSET HISTORY SHEET) AND FI MODULE (BALANCE SHEET ACCOUNTS)"
The control of the net book values is done by comparison from the increase, decrease and retirements values in Asset history sheet with FI Accounts related and also with values from the retirement's specific transaction S_ALR_87012052:
In section: "Same control but with another transaction"
We should run transaction S_ALR_87012052, with the required depreciation area, for:
IFRS values it has to be used 01
IFRS with impairment it should be used 02
Local GAAP values it should be used 30
