SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud Asset Management FAQ

How do you open a new asset fiscal year in SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud?

Before you can post asset transactions in a new fiscal year, Asset Accounting requires a fiscal year change step that opens new depreciation areas for posting — separate from the normal period-close process. In Public Cloud this runs through the standard self-service Asset Accounting apps rather than a custom program, as part of the routine year-end close checklist.
