3719948 - Incorrect offset accounts in Depreciation posting run - S/4HANA Cloud Public edition

Symptom

Incorrect offset accounts derived during the depreciation posting run.

Environment

S/4HANA Cloud Public edition

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Execute a depreciation run from "Schedule Asset Accounting Jobs" 
  2. Review the derived offset accounts for all assets with adjustment postings.
  3. Observe that the derived offset accounts do not match the expected accounts.

Cause

The system determines the offsetting account for the entire financial document based on the following logic:

  • For all Credit Lines: The G/L account with the single highest total debit amount in the run is used as the offsetting account.
  • For all Debit Lines: The G/L account with the single highest total credit amount in the run is used as the offsetting account.

So each FI document will always contain only max. 2 different offsetting accounts. There is no line item wise relation of account and offsetting entry.

Resolution

This is system standard behavior.

Refer to SAP Note 3327802 for further details on offsetting account logic.
