What can you achieve with the legacy data transfer in Asset Accounting via transaction AS91?

Question

Options

• ASetting the company code status for legacy data transfer
• BPosting the summary write off in G/L
• CCreation of master data
• DPosting of take over values

• A
  5% (1)
• C
  5% (1)
• D
  89% (17)

Explanation

Transaction AS91 ("Create Legacy Asset") is the SAP tool for posting historical asset takeover values - the accumulated costs, depreciation, and net book values carried over from a predecessor system during a go-live migration. Without this step, SAP would have no knowledge of an asset's financial history.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A is incorrect because the company code status for legacy data transfer (e.g., switching to "assets transferred" status) is controlled via transaction OAAQ, not AS91.
• B is incorrect because summary write-offs in G/L are handled through standard journal posting transactions, not the legacy asset upload tool.
• C is incorrect because pure master data creation (without values) is done via AS01; AS91 also creates a master record, but its defining purpose is carrying the financial values across, making D the more precise answer.

Memory tip: Think of AS91 as "Asset Snapshot from the 91st day before SAP" - it freezes your legacy balances and drops them into the new system. The "91" hints at a one-time historical snapshot, not ongoing transactions. Pair it with its siblings: AS01 = create (no values), AS91 = create with legacy values, AS92 = change legacy asset.
