Introduction
1.1 Purpose of this document
This document is the Business Blueprint for delivering the SAP project at Maini Precision
Products Pvt. Ltd. Bangalore, herein after referred to as MPP. It outlines the business
requirements, ‘AS-IS’ analysis, ‘TO-BE’ processes and design considerations for the project.
This document, however, will not cover the technical details of the actual customizing and
other issues which will be covered under a separate document, the Configuration and
Technical Guide.
This document is meant for Business process owners, IT Manager and Key User champions
who will have to have a good understanding of SAP system. This document explains all the
specifications that are broadly captured for successfully delivering the SAP project. This is a
controlled document and its circulation is left to the discretion of Unisoft Infotech and MPP
project sponsors.
It is the intent of this document to capture the entire design to support the requirements
specified in the requirement document.
2 Organisation Structure
The central task of G/L accounting is to provide a comprehensive picture for external
accounting and accounts. Recording all business transactions (primary postings as well as
settlements from internal accounting) in a software system that is fully integrated with all
the other operational areas of MPP ensures that the accounting data is always complete
and accurate.
The Accounts Receivable application component records and manages accounting data of
all customers with respect to MPP. It is also an integral part of sales management. All
postings in Accounts Receivable are also recorded directly in the General Ledger. Different
G/L accounts are updated depending on the transactions involved (for example,
receivables, down payments, and bills of exchange).
This component is used to handle accounting transactions that MPP processes with its
banks. It includes the management of bank master data; cash balance management
(check), and the creation and processing of incoming and outgoing payments.
The Asset Accounting component is used for managing and supervising fixed assets with
the SAP System. In SAP Financial Accounting, it serves as a subsidiary ledger to the FI
General Ledger, providing detailed information on transactions involving fixed assets with
respect to MPP.
The above features are required in MPP with respect to Excise duty, Withholding tax (TDS),
Sales Tax / VAT, Customs Duty and maintaining the Excise registers like RG-1, RG -23A,
RG-23C, PLA etc.
3.6.1 CENVAT
Excisable transactions are posted using the Materials Management (MM) and Sales and
Distribution (SD) components. The system calculates the CENVAT in these components
and creates the appropriate line items in Financial Accounting (FI).
Bon 2.0
Service Tax on Sales & Purchases with provision for availing Credit, including cross
utilization with CENVAT.
For Import of Goods (including Capex) Customs Duty & CVD are calculated in MM based
on tax codes and finance documents are created in FI.
Country Version India uses the standard functions for calculating and collecting withholding
taxes. Withholding Tax come with additional functions for tax remittance, journal vouchers,
creating withholding tax certificates, and preparing returns which will be used at MPP.
4 SAP Overview
4.1 Client
A commercially, organizationally, and technically self-contained unit within an SAP System.
Clients have their own master records and set of tables.
4.2 Company
The smallest organizational unit for which individual financial statements are created
according to the relevant legal requirements. A company can include one or more
company codes.
Smallest organizational unit of external accounting for which a complete, self-contained set
of accounts can be created. This includes the entry of all transactions that must be posted
and the creation of all items for legal individual financial statements, such as the balance
sheet and the profit and loss statement.
In our case we are having one company code namely 1000 & 2000
A controlling area may include single or multiple company codes that may use different
currencies. These company codes must use the same operative chart of accounts.
All internal allocations refer exclusively to objects in the same controlling area.
The fiscal year variant determines the company code fiscal year. The fiscal year will
consist of 12 normal periods and 4 special periods as per the SAP standard. The proposed
periods will be from April to March every year.
Authorized users will be able to open and close the posting periods and generate reports
by selecting a period range. This process will have to be done on monthly basis. Once a
period is closed, no entries can be posted in the system in the closed period.
The daily transactions will be handled through the concept of document types.
Document type is a key that is used to classify accounting documents and distinguish
between business transactions to be posted. The document type is entered in the
document header and applies to the whole document.
• Controlling the posting to account types (vendor, customer, or G/L accounts). The
document type determines which account types that particular document can be
posted to.

There will be different document types for cash and bank vouchers.
MPP requires separate alphanumerical number ranges for each document type. As such
there is no separate legal requirement to provide numbers externally for every document
they enter, at MPP the number ranges will be provided internally and they will be re-
initialized every year.
Internal Document number ranges for different document types will be maintained. The
document number range has to be defined for the year in which it is used. Document
number ranges will be defined:
• Per fiscal year: At the beginning of each fiscal year the document numbering starts
again at the lower limit. This helps to avoid reaching the upper limit of a range.
An object that attributes and determines the creation of master records. The account group
determines:
• GL Account groups:- It is already defined at MPP and the same will be used
• A number range from which codes are selected for the master records
The Account Groups used for MPP Limited for GL master data are as follows:
Trial Balance report can be taken in sap standard. The report which includes Opening
Balance, special period postings (13-16), debit items, credit items fields during the year
which includes the special period posting for finalization of the Account Adjustment entries
& closing balance of the all GL accounts.
The Balance sheet & Profit & Loss can be taken as per companies Act, 1956 for the
company as a whole according to the schedules of the company’s requirement.
Balance Sheet and Profit & Loss can also be generated for each Profit Center.
Every posting that is made in the sub-ledger generates a corresponding posting to the
assigned G/L accounts. This ensures that the sub-ledgers are always reconciled with the
general ledger.
At the time of posting SAP system decides the nature of document based on document
type, so it must be checked properly whether the correct document type is defaulted at the
time of posting, otherwise number range will be missing and it will be difficult to reconcile
later.
In case of manual FI postings - tax codes should be properly picked up at the time of
posting, otherwise the calculations will be wrong.

The functionality with respect to limiting the authorizations while posting will be achieved by
the standard SAP functionality ‘Parking and releasing the documents’. As per the
requirement the concerned person will be given authorization for parking and his superior
for releasing/posting.
The requirement of accrual / deferral document will be handled by the SAP standard
practice of configuring a reversal reason for accrual / deferral documents and using the
posting screens provided for posting accrual /deferral documents.
To meet the requirement of posting the same type of documents every month we shall use
the concept of recurring documents and sample documents. For the cases where amount
and date is fixed we shall configure a recurring document and make use of it every month.
It will be sufficient if a batch input session is run for all such type of documents. Whenever
a batch session is run it will automatically update the GL balances. For cases where
amount is not fixed we shall configure a sample document template and save it in the
system so that when the document is to be posted that template can be called and amount
can be changed at that time. Post dated Cheque will be configured using a special GL
indicator.
At MPP presently there are 3 petty cash books. The company requires separate number
range for each petty cash book. At the time of transaction posting the authorization person
name shall also be updated
In SAP posting of cash journal entries are processed using a unique cash journal
identification code. One cash journal code will be defined to the area where cash is
maintained, instead of having cash ledgers for each area. This eliminates the number of
cash ledgers maintained and with single cash ledger the area will be differentiated by
cash journal code. Three separate Petty Cash accounts will be maintained with 3 different
number ranges with different document types.

It is possible to take out P&L statement or Balance sheet as the case may be, as and when
required using SAP system. It is also possible in SAP that when we define reconciliation
accounts for customers /vendors / assets inherently it is linked with the General ledger and
all the postings will be done automatically to the reconciliation accounts and there by to the
general ledger directly, no manual intervention is required after implementing SAP.
After doing the period closing operations it is possible to produce internal P&L statement
and Balance sheet on profit center. At any given moment it is possible to produce the
required financial statements from SAP by transferring the closing balances properly. With
respect to assets it is possible to maintain the assets as per block of assets methodology
by grouping the assets in SAP. All additions / deletions / transfers can be applied on a
group as a whole and displayed as a report, where as, as per companies act 1956
depreciation should be calculated on individual asset.
Depreciation reserve will be captured. Option will be provided for changing the depreciation
from WDV to Straight Line method.
There is an SAP standard functionality to define the retained earnings account as P&L
statement type.
The Retained earnings account will be defined for the purpose of Indian companies act,
and all P&L G/L accounts relating to Indian companies act have to be defined as this type
of PL statement account type and at period end closing all the groupings should be taken
to Financial Statement version as per Indian companies act.

Vendor master records will be maintained centrally in the Finance area. Purchasing area
employees will be responsible for creating the purchasing views of a vendor master
record, or at least providing the information required in these views to Finance personnel
so they can create the views.
Vendor Master
Records
Vendor Master Records contain the data that controls how business transaction are
recorded and processed by the system.
• General Data Segment: This is at the client level. Example – Vendor Name,
Vendor Address
• Company Code Segment: This contains accounting information. Example – Sort
key, Field Status Group, Currency, Payment methods, Customer Bank
information.
• Purchasing Segment: This contains purchase information.
All the outside agencies to which payments will be made including Government
Authorities will be treated as vendors. Even the employees will be created as
vendors in the SAP system.
The user can Create, Change, Display and Block Vendor Master Records.
The Accounting entries in such case will get passed in the books of account at two stages
as under:
On Receipt of Goods
The Invoice Verification component is part of the materials system. It provides the link
between the Material Management component and the Financial Accounting, Costing and
Asset Accounting components.
Procedure for invoice verification has been covered in the MM blue print. The flow chart for
invoice verification is shown below:
Invoice verification is done after receipt of Invoice from the supplier either by the Finance
dept. or by the Purchase dept. depending upon the responsibility allotted.
Since GR/IR Clearing Account is managed on Open Management basis, after the Invoice
Verification the open GR/IR items will be cleared and balance open items will be reflect
those cases for which Invoice Verification is still pending.
Line Rejection
In case of line rejection the item rejected will have to be located against the
respective GRN and the same will have to be sent back to the vendor against an
excise invoice. For this, a different document type will be maintained in MM / SD.
For non-excisable items debit note may be passed (Credit Memo) in FI.
• The system provides a function to reverse G/L, A/R and A/P documents both
individually or in mass.
• When reversing a document, a reversal reason code must be entered to explain the
reversal. The reason code also controls if the reversal date is allowed to be different
from the original posting date.
Documents with cleared items cannot be reversed. The document must first be reset.
If the vendor is subject to withholding tax, the tax type / tax code (TDS) entered in
the vendor master will be defaulted from the master. The tax amount will be
calculated on the basis of this tax type / code. Enter the G/L Account to be debited
and the amount. There is a facility in SAP to check the accounting entry before it is
posted. For this the user needs to simulate the transaction.
By using the SAP standard functionality all the cheque payments can be managed. The
typical procedure under SAP with respect to cheque will be
a) Defining the cheque lots for each and every house bank of MPP
b) Entering the vendor invoice
c) Entering the vendor payment by clearing the open item created by invoice.
d) Attach cheque to the payment document no generated in step (C)
e) Check the cheque register to see the Cheque update.
. Cheques are prepared through system with Individual Cheque and if payment to
multiple vendors – then it is through Automatic Payment Program.

The payments to vendors can be made in the system under the following methods:
Using the above methods, the open items will be cleared on payment.
In SAP we would create Employees as Vendors & Cost Center for Payment of Salary &
Capturing of costs. For the Salary Processing, there would be Integration between SAP FI
& Saral HR Tool. In Saral HR tool provision need to be created for cost center & Vendor
No against the HR Records. The data from Saral would be downloaded in .xls/.txt format
along with the SAP Vendor No & Cost Center.
Then this would be uploaded in SAP in the form of FI Journal Entries with the help of data
upload program.
All the vendor accounts will be cleared either on one to one basis (FIFO methodology is
also available). Bank Charges can be entered with the payment – which automatically
posts to the Bank Charges account. A payment difference tolerance will be available for
users with authorization (end users will have a zero tolerance).
Classification of vendors as per normal vendors and Employee vendors has to be handled
by using account groups. Different vendor account groups have to be created, and care
must be taken at the time of creating the vendor to group them under the account groups
created.
After implementation of SAP as all the systems viz., MM, FI are integrated invoices
recorded in stores can be seen in FI and any down payments made will be reflected in the
vendor sub ledger. So care must be taken at the time of entering invoices and down
payments. A document once posted from any module will have consequences on every
other module and it will be a lengthy procedure if anything to be reversed after entered.
For correspondence with vendors there are SAP script forms provided and whenever
company wants to send the letters that must be properly checked with the correspondence
forms configured and those forms should be generated from the system to have the record
of correspondence sent.
7 Accounts Receivables
Customer Master
Records
Company Code
General Data Segment Sales Segment
Segment
Customer Master Records contains data that controls how business transaction are
recorded and processed by the system.
• General Data Segment: This is at the client level. Example – Customer Name,
Customer Address, TIN No, etc.
• Company Code Segment: This contains accounting information. Example – Sort key,
Currency, Payment methods, Customer Bank information.
• Sales Segment: This contains Sales information. Example: Sales Organization. Credit
control area / limits, Profit centre etc
• Bill-to-party
These Accounts are created for those customers with whom we rarely have transaction. In
contrast to the normal Customer, no data specific for a single customer is stored in one
time Customer master record. The system automatically proposes the master record
screen at the time of the posting of the document.
It ensures a real time integration of a sub ledger account with the General Ledger Account.
As a result no entry can be posted to the General ledger Account directly, thus ensuring
that the balance as per the Accounts Receivable always matches with the Control Account
in General Ledger. E.g. Domestic Receivables.
A number identifies every customer master record. The number will be generated by the
system internally or the user can create master by external number. The number range
interval has to be assigned to each customer group.
The key user can Create, Change, Display and Block Customer Master Records.
There are some customers who are also the vendors of the company. In such cases the
balances in the creditors account is adjusted to the extent of balance lying in debtor’s
account. The flow for the same is as under:
If the customer is also a vendor, or vice versa, the payment and the dunning program can
clear open items against each other. Open items of the assigned account can also be
displayed on the line item display and the open item selection screen.
• The vendor account number must be entered into the customer account and the
customer account number must be entered into the vendor account.
• Each company code can decide separately whether it wants to clear a customer with a
vendor. If clearing is to be used, the field “ Clrg with vend.” in the customer account
must be marked and vice versa.
• At the time of payment system will show open items in Accounts Payable as well as
Accounts receivable for clearing against payment.
• Information System
Report in the financial Information system provides Ageing analysis with duration of
maximum 3 years.
For Domestic Customers the invoices send to collection as normal business process to
Bank. After realization the proceeds credited to company’s term loan account or current
accounts of the Company
AS-IS
1st Stage
MPP’s foreign sales process start with Forward Contract with bankers for specified time
duration against projections of sales order planning. At the end of the Forward contract
period, the Banker cancels the forward contract for the unutilized portion, and the
difference (Loss) is debited to the MPP term loan account.
2nd Stage:
MPP receives the sales order from foreign customers according to the INCOTERMS.
Based on the sales order, the MPP takes PCFC loan (presently 81% max & duration of
180 days max.). If the bank is not having forex funds at the time, MPP takes Rupee loan
against the sales order or PCFC loan with spot rate (LIBOR+0.XX %).
3rd Stage
MPP raises multiple Bankers’ Invoices in India against one foreign sales order
denominated in Foreign Currency. The Banker’s Invoice is the official Invoice for all
statutory purposes in India.
4th Stage
MPP discounts (BCD) the Banker Invoice either with the same PCFC loan bank and clears
the PCFC loan or discounts with other banks and clears the PCFC loan of the first bank.
5th Stage
The goods reach the Company’s warehouse (foreign). As per the customers planned
schedule, the material is delivered by the warehouse (MPP own warehouse) raising
multiple ASN invoices.
6th Stage
The customer receipts against the ASN directly credited to the Company’s bank accounts
with cross currency receipts. Banker’s Invoice Loan is cleared manually.
At year end – Bankers Invoice and ASNs are reconciled and all Bankers Invoice are
reversed.

For foreign Customers realization, the process of raising the Bankers Invoices & ASN
Invoices detailed report can be viewed in SD Module.
1St Stage:
When the forward contract agreement with bankers is made, the banker will give a number
for each forward contract. The Forward Contract No, amount and due date will be updated
in SAP. This will not have any effect in the financial account. Based on the update made in
SAP, reports can be generated. The unused amount of the forward contract shall be taken
into the SAP by passing JV entries as per debit note issued by the Banker.
2nd Stage:
The Export Sales Order, received from the customer shall be submitted to the banker to
get the PCFC (Forward Contract Rate/Spot Rate) loan.
The PCFC transaction shall be posted in the books of account as normal Bank loan. The
Interest, Bank and processing charges is deducted at the time of releasing PCFC by the
Banker; the net amount of PCFC loan shall have the entry as follows
Term Loan Dr
Bank Charges Dr
Bank Int Dr
At the time of PCFC document posting through JV, the account information has to cover
forward contract, sales order and due date (Max. 180 days) of the PCFC loan.
3rd Stage:
Multiple bankers’ invoice against the sales order and some times a direct sales invoice
(direct sales to foreign customers) will be raised. Even in cases of direct sales – a Banker’s
Invoice will be generated.
When the banker’s Invoice is raised for stock transfer from plant to warehouse – there is no
financial implications. The Banker’s Invoice will be considered for Customs & other
statutory purposes.
If there is any adjustment due to earlier Banker’s Invoice, a Surcharges or Discount (with
maximum of 10% of the value of the goods) is adjusted in the Banker’s Invoice.
The Banker’s Invoice is discounted with the bankers (180 days Max and Grace period of
30 days from the due date as per RBI guidelines) in foreign currency.
The rate of discount is the forward contract rate, for full or partial amount of the banker’s
Invoice and this is used to clear the PCFC loan.
The Banker will deduct the Interest, processing charges of BCD loan and net amount of the
BCD proceeds are transferred to PCFC loan account. The Interest amount accounted as
per the Banker’s advice in the financial books against the Sales order.
If the Banker does not have Forex funds at the time of BCD loan, then the company takes
INR loan against the Banker’s Invoice.
When the Company takes partial bill discounting against the Banker’s Invoice, the
remaining portion of the amount is accounted in the books as Bills for Collection.
4th Stage:
MPP raises the ASN (updated in Finance – including Sales Revenue & AR) at foreign
warehouse at the same rate or this may be different (if the Customer’s rate has been
revised).
The Customer makes payment against the ASN to MPP’s bank account. On receiving the
information from the Bank, the receipt is entered in SAP and the ASN is cleared.
A customized report provides information on the link between the Bankers’s Invoice and
the ASNs. The BCD loan is to be cleared based on this report.
5th Stage.
All ASN invoices are raised at notional rates or banker invoice rate. At the time of
realization of ASNs, based on the custom report – the BCD loan is cleared on FIFO basis.
If there is any difference in forex rates at the time ASN collection accounted as Foreign
Exchange gain/loss account.
When the crystallized amount is received from the customer, the proceeds are accounting
in the Bank.
• The customer makes a payment by cheque, cash, DD, LC and unadjusted credits.
• Sales person processes the incoming payment in SAP as a down payment credit to
the customer, estimating the bank charges if necessary
• Releases the delivery block (if any created because of credit check) so that dispatch
department can process the delivery.
• MPP delivers with freight paid by the customer or the customer can nominate their
forwarder.
• Dispatch department creates the delivery, posts goods issue and invoices the
customer
• Then the sales person / finance clears the invoice and down payment
• In case a credit / debit memo has to be posted from FI, the same will be raised on
customers against Debit / Credit Notes received from them (these are for non-
excisable items).
By using the standard SAP functionality profit centers can be selected on the selection
screen based on which, system fetches the records with respect to the particular customer.
Details of letter of credit and bank guarantees given by customers can be seen.
Advances from customers can be seen
V
All the customer accounts will be cleared either on one to one basis (FIFO method also
available).
While seeing the customer account all accounts based on document type will be displayed,
which will be cleared by selecting them. Here we can see the credit notes given, overdue
balances by sorting the fields and select line items based on the sorting.
8 Bank Accounting
The cash journal is a sub ledger of Bank Accounting provided in SAP (also mentioned
above under GL accounting). It is used to manage a company's cash transactions. The
system automatically calculates and displays the opening and closing balances, and the
receipts and payments totals. MPP can also carry out postings to G/L accounts, as well as
vendor and customer accounts. We can also print pre-numbered cheques and cash
receipts.
Any cumulative statement can also be taken out from cash journal, as required by MPP at
any point of time.
All the entries of bank guarantees can be done by creating a special GL indicator and
make statistical posting into the concerned GL account. If the BG goes for realization the
postings have to be reversed manually and the real postings have to be done.
The statement from the bank can be uploaded into the system by using the following
method:
• Using the international standard format – SWIFT MT940 (if the Bank is able to
provide data in this format.
• Using a pre-defined format on excel – with a customized program to upload the
Bank Statement
All the outgoing cash postings will be made to the cash journal, and the cheques will be
recorded in the cheques issue register by assigning them to the outgoing payment.
By using the SAP standard functionality we can create Cheques lots and assign numbers
to them based on the numbers given to company from the bank. Once the cheques are
created and assigned with MPP bank the cheque numbers will comes serially.
All the branches that receive cheques deposit the same in the Depot Bank Account
(Canara Bank, HSBC & SBI Branch Accounts) by the end of the day balance in the
account will be transferred to head office bank account.
There are screens provided to void the cheques in cases of any printing mistakes, cancel
the payments once made, and also the cancel the cheques sent. Cheque register is
available for all cheques issued, cheques voided, cancelled etc.
Getting the BRS by using bank-clearing accounts is better explained in detail in the
process mapping explained below.
The function of cheque management will enable printing of cheque through SAP. Cheque
series will be defined for a combination of a Company code and Bank Account. Cheque
numbering will be sequential order.

Adding the balances in the Bank sub accounts will help in preparing the Bank reconciliation
statement.
• Accounting entry after cheque has been cleared in the Bank statement
The clearing criteria for updating the bank main account and bank sub account will be
amount and document number, which will be captured in the allocation field of the bank
sub account. The items, which have not been cleared in the bank statement, will remain
open in the bank sub account and will form part of the bank
Reconciliation statement.
The clearing criteria used for updating vendor account and Bank cheque payment account
will be amount and cheque number. The cheques presented to the bank and are cleared
are transferred to the bank main account. The remaining cheque issued will form part of
the bank reconciliation statement.
Direct debit instructions will be given to the bank for example, LC payments or certain bank
charges are directly debited in the Bank Statement. In this case accounting entry is passed
only after the entry is passed in the bank statement.
Customer receipts are sometimes directly credited in Bank. E.g. export receipts. In this
scenario accounting entry is passed only at the time of bank statement entry.
9 Asset Accounting
9.1 Asset Master Records
Asset classes are assigned to a chart of Depreciation. Once the asset classes are defined,
different asset master records will be created under the asset classes. Each class will be
assigned a number range to give a different number to each of the asset
The asset class provides default values to all asset master records in the class. In this way,
the asset class functions as a sample master record, and make it possible to create new
asset master records simply and without errors.
Acquisition and Production Costs (APC) of assets are posted based on the account
determination in the Asset class. The Account determination in the asset class is an
automatic function that determines the general ledger accounts for posting in Financial
Accounting. The depreciation values are posted to the balance sheet accounts and income
statement accounts based on the depreciation area in the asset class.
The user can change, display and block asset master records.
All Asset purchases would be routed through Materials Management in the form of a
Purchase order. The Finance Section will create the Asset Master record before Purchase
Order is raised through MM Module. Assets shall be sub-divided into “Asset Classes”
based on a logical grouping of Assets of similar kind. Assets purchased in MPP in the
nature of Office Equipment, Computer Equipment, Furniture and Fixtures and Vehicles will
be capitalized directly without routing it through Capital Work in Progress (CWIP) to make it
capitalized on a stand-alone basis. The Diagram as follows.

An Asset Master record will be created first in the Fixed Asset module on internal
approval for Purchase.
The fixed asset data records for master data are structured according to area of use
and purpose. Master data maintenance is organized according to this structure and
allows for individual adaptation.
In order to make it easier for the user to create, maintain, and evaluate master data,
the different items of information are structured according to area of use and
functions in the system. The asset master record consists of two parts that are
described below.
9.3.1 Prerequisites
This part of the master record contains concrete information about the fixed asset.
The following field groups exist:
During the Process of Goods Receipt the value will be posted to the asset; this will be a
CWIP Asset or Direct Asset. In case the receipt is for a direct asset, the capitalization date
will be captured from the date of Goods Received Note. The capitalized asset is
depreciated from the capitalization date updated.
In case of Assets having multiple components, which are parts of the same asset will be
capitalized as a Sub Assets along with the Main Asset. The Sub Asset will get depreciated
along with the Main Asset. Asset calculations, depreciation information and other details
are stored in the system at the sub-asset level. This will help to track down the Assets,
which are attached to the Main Assets. Therefore it is possible to retire/sell/discard assets
at the Asset Sub-number level.
Assets under construction (AUC) are a special form of tangible assets. They are usually
displayed as a separate balance sheet item and therefore need a separate account
determination and asset classes. During the phase in which an asset is under
construction, all actual postings are assigned to the AuC. Once the asset is completed, a
transfer is made to a master record that has to be created in the completed fixed assets.
You can manage assets under construction in the system as individual master records,
just as you do completed assets.
You can also use collective management of several assets under construction on one
master record. You can distribute to the proper assets when the asset under construction
is completed by using either:
When assets under construction are managed by line item, you can enter settlement rules
for every line item assigned to the AuC and accordingly transfer the amount lying in the
AuC to the respective completed asset.
In the case of summary management, the entire expenses incurred are transferred once or
several times to the asset(s) in the completed tangible fixed assets at the date of
capitalization.

During the asset posting, the system determines the General Ledger Accounts based on
four things:
Company code chart of accounts
Depreciation Area
Account allocation key
Transaction type
Transaction types are used for every asset postings. Transaction type identifies the
acquisition, retirement and transfer of assets. Transaction types specifies
Accounts in an account allocation
Depreciation Area
Value fields
The SAP standard document types will be used viz., ‘AA’ (for asset posting), ‘AF’ (for
depreciation posting).
• Date of Capitalization
• Acquisition period
• Depreciation start date
• Insurance, FC, Tax Renewal Dates
Fixed asset retirement is the removal of an asset or part of an asset from the asset
portfolio.
This removal of a complex fixed asset (or part of a complex fixed asset) is posted from a
bookkeeping perspective as an asset retirement. In Asset Accounting, you can post both
the sale of an asset and the resulting revenue in one single step. At the same time, you
can decide whether to integrate the posting with Accounts Receivable Accounting or to
post to a clearing account.
The system enables the user to post the entry to Accounts Receivable, the Revenue
posting and the asset retirement in a single step. The system automatically creates a Gain
or Loss posting, as well as a revenue clearing entry, in addition to the asset and the
accumulated depreciation correction posting. The system determines the reference period
for the asset retirement based on the asset value date and the period control of the
depreciation key.

The assets need a split. A portion of the original asset will be transferred to a new asset
This transaction is also used for revaluation of foreign currency asset on loan or the
amount that is payable to the vendor.
The year-end closing program is used to close the fiscal year for one or more company
codes from an accounting perspective. Once the fiscal year is closed, you can no longer
post or change values within Asset accounting (for example, by recalculating depreciation).
At the time of closing the period system performs the following checks.
• The system found no errors during the calculation of depreciation (such as, incorrectly
defined calculation keys)
• The planned depreciation from the automatic posting area has been completely posted
to the general ledger.
The system lists any assets that do not meet the above requirements in the log of
the year-end closing. The log also shows the reason for the errors.
9.12 Depreciation
Different depreciation rates are configured using different depreciation keys and they will
be attached with the asset masters at the time of creating an asset master. Depreciation as
per the Companies Act, 1956 will be handled by creating ’Book Depreciation’ as
depreciation area.
Written Down Value Method will be configured for the purpose of depreciation calculation.
The asset master record contains the depreciation terms. The system calculates the
depreciation based on the depreciation key. The system determines the depreciation start
date from the asset value date of the first acquisition posting.
The depreciation posting cycle is determined by entering the length of time (in posting
periods) between two depreciation-posting runs. This means that a setting of 1 indicates
monthly posting, 3 means quarterly posting, 6 means semi-annual, and 12 means annual
(for a fiscal year version with 12 posting periods). When a depreciation-posting run is
started, one has to enter the period for which one wants it to be carried out. Monthly
postings to be carried out.
A batch input session will be run called ‘depreciation run’ for posting depreciation using
periodic execution functionality. The required posting documents are created once this is
run and the depreciation amount will be posted to the general ledger.
10 Export Incentives
MPP’s majority of Sales is export against foreign sales orders. Presently MPP takes export
benefit under three schemes.
MPP uses this facility when the Capital Goods are imported from foreign country especially
for manufacture of exported finished goods. At the time of import MPP pays 3% as
Customs Duty instead of the normal rate structure of approx. 30% according the rules &
regulations of Customs Act.
For using this confessional/rebate of duties, MPP submits, to the Customs Dept., Bank
Guarantee for a specified number of years.
There is an export obligation of 8 times the saving of duty under this scheme which has to
be fulfilled in a time frame of 8 years.
This will be handled through custom reports (at the time of creating Banker’s Invoice – it
has to be mentioned whether under EPCG or otherwise).
MPP exports certain finished goods which are specified under the DEPB incentive scheme.
Specified materials have a specified rates according to the official Gazette of the JDFC
Dept.
At the time of raising Banker invoice, it will be mentioned whether covered DEPB scheme
or not.
After realization of the ASN using the custom reports it can be determined whether to apply
for DEPB or not. MPP applies to the Banker for Bank Realization Certificate in specified
format of Bankers. After receiving the BRCs, MPP submits it to JDFC to get the DEPB
incentive scheme benefit.
At the time of receipt the DEPB scheme benefit the book entries as follows.
The scheme benefit shall be utilized the MPP within 2 years of issue. If any amount is left
over unutilized, it is reversed.
Sometimes MPP imports raw material for manufacture and subsequent of exclusively
export of goods under this scheme. The detail process covered in MM module.
Under this scheme the finished goods manufactured with specific Input/Output ratio
(Limited scrap ratio) shall be exported within stipulated period (2Years with paying some
extra applicable fee) according to the Customs Act. If any finished goods & the excess
scrap (O/I) through using of the imported raw material, sold in the domestic market, MPP
has to pay the duty, interest and penalty interest to the extent of sales of finished goods &
scrap sales. If there is any unutilized imported raw material, MPP has to workout the value
to pay the customs duty to dept. with applicable duty & Interest debited to P & L account.
At the time of raising the Banker’s Invoice it is mentioned whether covered under Advance
license or not.
MPP purchases from overseas as well as the domestic market – the inputs for
manufacturing of goods which are mainly exported.
MPP pays CENVAT on its purchases (CENVAT when domestic purchase and CVD when
imported). The CENVAT can be utilized when there is a domestic Sales.
MPP has 80% of export sales and there is no CENVAT on Exports – hence CENVAT credit
amount is accumulated & unutilized.
