New Asset accounting is available in ECC6.0 EHP7 (optional) and S4 HANA Finance (Mandatory)

In New asset accounting, you can handle parallel accounting using depreciation areas.

For representing parallel accounting in New asset accounting, you have two scenario’s as mentioned
below.

 Using Parallel ledgers: The Ledger approach


 Using Additional accounts: The Accounts approach

Ledger approach:

1. Different accounting principles or valuation are mapped in separate ledgers, as in new General
ledger accounting. In general, the same accounts are used in the ledgers.
2. The depreciation areas have equal status. Separate documents are posted for each accounting
principle or valuation.
3. For each accounting principle or valuation, the system posts the correct values in real time. The
values that are posted are full values and not delta values.
4. For each valuation, there is always just one depreciation area that posts to the general ledger in
real time and manages APC. For this leading depreciation area, choose the posting optionArea
Posts in Realtime. This applies both for the leading valuation and for all parallel valuations. You
can choose which of these depreciation areas, which post to the general ledger, posts to the leading
ledger.
