Symptom
In the Post Asset Revaluation Fiori app (SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition, release 2608 and later), transaction types 8J1 (JP: Impairment Rev. Prior Year) and 8J2 (JP: Impairment Rev. Current Year) are not available for selection.
Only standard revaluation transaction types (e.g., 892, 893) are displayed in the app.
Under Japanese accounting standards, asset impairment and asset revaluation are different accounting treatments, so this behavior may appear unexpected.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Reproducing the Issue
- Open the Post Asset Revaluation app.
- Navigate to select a business transaction type for an impairment posting.
- Observe that only revaluation transaction types (for example, 892) are available and 8J1/8J2 are not offered.
Cause
Transaction types 8J1 and 8J2 were introduced as a temporary interim solution for Japan asset impairment postings, intended for use before the "Post Asset Revaluation" app was officially released.
Starting from SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition 2608, the "Post Asset Revaluation" app is the standard and recommended method for Japan impairment postings. As part of this change, 8J1 and 8J2 are no longer applicable.
The absence of 8J1 and 8J2 in the app is therefore expected behavior from release 2608 onward.
Resolution
-
To post Japan asset impairment from release 2608 onward:
Step 1: Update the depreciation key on the relevant fixed assets to one of the impairment-specific keys:
IDB, IDM, ILT, ILI, JIDB, JIDM, JILT, JILI
Step 2: Use the following standard transaction types in the Post Asset Revaluation app:
Transaction Type Description Use For 892 Revaluation (Downward) – Current Year Current year impairment 893 Revaluation (Downward) – Prior Year Prior year impairment 891 Revaluation (Upward) – Prior Year Prior year reversal 897 Revaluation (Upward) – Current Year Current year reversal For the complete end-to-end procedure, refer to [Q1] How to perform asset impairment postings in S/4HANA Public Cloud? in SAP Note 3407169.
