Q&A in Class (2024-10-30) S4H00

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Question: S/4HANA Joint Venture Accounting capabilities?

The Oil & Gas Industry Solution previously available as an extension for ECC users was introduced as S/4 Embedded solutioning as early is S/4HANA 1809 (which is in 2018 Q3), 
and lot has been done by SAP to include the IS-Oil features stage by stage include JVA (Joint Venture Accounting as can be seen in S/4HANA 2023, 

Research findings shows the following:
  1. Possible Impact in JVA due to Finance simplifications:
    • Master data maintenance. I.e. Customer Vendor Integration (CVI).
    • Parallel Accounting options in S/4 comparing to the older versions of SAP ERP systems.
    • New Asset Accounting is required in S/4 and the possible impact should also be analyzed. For example the AM integration with JVA.
    • Universal Journal Entry changes and possible impacts on the reporting and reconciliation between JVA and GL.
    • Third party tools that are integrated with JVA in enterprise system landscape.
  2. Possible Impact of the S/4HANA New GL and JVA:
    • JVA and New GL Integration (business function JVA_GL_INTEGRATION) provides the possibility to reconcile data between new GL and JVA at venture, equity group and recovery indicator (RI) level.
    • If new GL JVA integration is active, the JVA attributes are updated in Universal Journal Entry and reporting is possible using the new Universal Journal Entry table ACDOCA.
  3. Possible Impact of the S/4HANA Asset Accounting Changes and JVA: 
    • The classic AA integrated with JVA provides automated process to compare EBC and CRP. This is no longer supported in S/4. SAP is recommending standard revaluation procedures to cover specific revaluation requirements.
    • The following Asset Transfers are also no longer supported in S/4HANA: 
      • Reverse AM/MM Transfer Document (GJT0)
      • JV Transfer Asset to WIP (GJT1)
      • JV Transfer Asset to Asset (GJT2)
      • JV Transfer Asset Retirement (GJT3)
      • JV Transfer Asset Sale (GJT4)
      • JV Transfer WIP to WIP (GJT5)
      • JV Transfer WIP to Asset (GJT6)
    • The above are now replaced with the following in S/4HANA;
      • Transfer of actual costs with subsequent settlement to AuC and the final asset instead
      • For Intra-company asset transfer use ABUMN
      • For Cross-company asset transfer use ABT1N
      • For asset sale use F-92
  4. IMG menu paths are also changed. There is a dedicated node called Asset Management for JVA and a separate node named MM transfers.
