Add depreciation area to old assets (revaluation area)

Hi guys,
I've created a new depreciation area for setting revaluation of assets. This new dep area only contains revaluation of assets (we'll only have revaluation and depreciation of this revaluation in this new area), so I've configured it to manage only revaluation values. Acquisition values are not allowed.
In OABC i've put "00" in the area where this new area takes values from, due to i don't want thhis new area to copy acquisitions values from area 01.
I've made the rest of the configuration also, to support revaluation transactions (mov 800) in this new area. But, I've got 2 problems now:
1. The new area i configured is missing when creating a new asset in AS01. However, when using AS91 the new area shows up. Any idea of why this happens that way?
2. I cannot add the new area in old assets. When using AFBN a message appears: "Depreciation area 20, which you want to create as a new depreciation area in chart of depreciation PVPE, has no depreciation area defined for value takeover. This may be be correct for normal operation, however for the purposes of creating a new depreciation in the productive system, you have to enter a depreciation area whose values are used as base values for the new area."
Message makes sense, because my new area is not copying values from any area (in tcode OABC i defined 00 as dep area source). The question is.. is there any additional tcode where i can add the new depreciation area to old assets?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
there are the following steps:
1. Create Depreciation area via OADB.
2. Activate Depreciation area via OAYZ.
3. Automatic opening of new depreciation are via AFBN and program RAFABNEW :
   3.1 - Indicator: Leave values initial = not ticked.
           The system will copy all the past years values from
           depreciation area 01.
3.2 - Indicator: Leave values initial = ticked.
           Set this indicator if you want to open the newly created
           depreciation area without any values i.e. blank.
4. Recalculate depreciation via AFAR and program RAAFAR00.
Following notes for information:

When syncing iPod touch to MacBook, I have selected to sync only events newer than 360 days. Yet I get message that sync will change 8000 events on "this computer" most of which are years old and many are recurring events. I'm afraid to proceed

Having the same problem here. As a first time mac user, Apple has certainly made a bad first impression.
For me, the issue seems to occur when transferring files between computers that are connected to the same access point (when transferring files from wired computers on the network there is no issue). My vista laptop and every laptop I have tried has worked perfectly fine with this access point so I am 100% convinced it is the mac. Basically when I copy the files, after about 100mb, I am unable to access anything on the local network or internet until I restart Airport. The weird thing is that even though I am unable to access anything, the airport utility says it is connected. I might also note that the wireless signal strength is full.
If I can't get this figured out in a few days, this computer is going back to the store where it came from and I will officially label myself anti-mac. This type of issue is just unacceptable for something so main stream.

Hi,
Yes. Configure the new area as normal, then in the system required run Trx
AFBN to add the area to existing assets.
Note:- the new area will not be added to assets that have been deactivated.

Asset Revaluation issue - Reval of Current year depreciation

Hi All,
We are setting up the system to do asset revaluation for our company code in South America. My client wants to
revalue the assets from Jul'09 to Dec'09.
1) We have maintained inflation indexes for the last day of each period in the year 2009.
2) Maintained Posting Variants and Time Base and Exposure variant accordingly for all the periods and year as 9999.
3) Assigned the appropriate Time base and exposure variant in the period control method.
4) Maintained the Revaluation Areas:
a) Area 01 - Book
b) Area 02 - Inflation Adj (Revaluation Area)
c) Area 03 - Derived (Area 01+Area02)
d) Area 22 - Infla Adj in Group Currency
5) Maintained the Revaluation key and assigned it to the relevant Asset classes by Depreciation Area (02 and 22)
6) Maintained the transaction types as below:
897 - Revaluation (downward) current year
892 - Revaluation (upward) current year
891 - Revaluation (downward) prior year
893 - Revaluation (upward) prior year
7) Maintained the Inflation Method and last revaluation date on Inflation method as 01.07.2009.
8) We have also activated the Revaluation after useful life.
With this setup in the system I took a test asset which had depreciation postings for the period 08 and 09. When I
ran the J1AI - Revaluation (Inflation) Program in the test run mode the outcome was that the APC value of the asset
was being revalued and Revaluation of Prior year Depreciation but not the Revaluation of current year
Depreciation. Can anyone tell me why current year Depreciation is not being revalued.
Am I doing something wrong process-wise or configuration-wise?
Please help me in resolving this issue.
Regards,
Raj

Hi Rajesh Phanibatla,
I've always happened that Issue. But what I realized is that although the program output (J1AI) does not show you nothing on "Rev of CY Depn", the system calculates. This only happens for the first month of adjustment (In your case, Aug 08).
Try checking the test asset with the Assets Explorer (AW01N) just after running the adjust (J1AI) in background process (NO test mode) at 31.08.2009. See if the area Area 02 - Inflation Adj (Revaluation Area) on "Posted values" tab shows something different to zero on month 08 with "Planned" status.
Then, for the adjustment of the following months, the output of the program will show you the "Rev of CY Depn" value.
If you want, let me know your email to show you a presentation (PowerPoint in spanish) that has screens that I captured on that occasion that happened to me.
I hope this is your case and can help you that I said.
Good Look!
PD: Sorry for my bad english :S

Post revaluation to selected depreciation area of an asset

Hi,
We are using depreciation area '01' for posting to GL accounts and '02' for fiscal reporting. It turned out that couple of assets had wrong depreciation key specified for depreciation area '02', which resulted in wrong depreciation calculated for '02' in last 3 years.
We would like to correct it now, once we discovered this issue. One of the ideas was to create new revaluation transaction type which is active only for depreciation area '02', which will only change value of asset in that particuaral area without affecting correct '01',
However, after configuring new transaction type in AO84 and assigning it to '02' depreciation area in OAXJ, when I tried to run ABAW for this asset - it gave me error AA 380.
'Inconsistency between the specifications for transaction type Z11 and for the depreciation areas in chart of depreciation PTI.
Depreciation area 02 is defined (in Customizing), so that it is required to take over values from area 01. However, one of these ares cannot be posted to, due to the specifications in transaction type Z11. This combination is not allowed.'
Is it possible to configure postings only to one depreciaton area? If not - is there any other easy way of revaluating only one depreciation area for an asset.
Thank you,
Karol

Hi Blaz,
Thank you for your reply. I am trying to increase the value of the asset in depreciation area 02, because due to wrong depreciation key it got fully depreciated last year in 02. I want to add the value to 02 which should have not been depreciated in last 2 years. Is there a way to increase its value using ABAA?
Thank you,
Karol

How to delete the versioned assets which are 2 months old?

I have a req. to delete the versioned assets which are 3 months old.I think we have PurgingService component (OOTB component) which can be configured to achieve this particular activity.
Any help wud be highly appreciated .
Thanks
Neelesh

What I was referring, will delete the entire asset from repository based on some condition.OOTB ATG comes with profile purging function to handle deletion of profile.
We can add other repositories too here,But it will delete data completely.It's kind of clean up required after some time for say anonymous user profiles. My Bad
But in ur case as u need to delete only different versions stored in publishing db only, As u already pointed out at PurgingService, I think there is no need to customize, u can PurgingService Scheduler,
But get clarification on this Purge projects and unused versions of assets older than _ days. What does this unused means.
Logically unused should be this "It will exclude the current version, say current version is was created 30 says back and u are purging all the versions which is 30 days."
But Please verify this before using.
Also Please reply the correct approach once it has been implemented.
Thnks,
Nitin.

Blank in depreciation area tab in asset master record

Hi,
While creating the asset master record, by mistake have ticked the deactivation check box in Depreciation Area tab of Asset master through transaction code AS01.
Later when I displayed the asset master record through transaction code AS03, I found that depreciation area tab is full of blank (No information).
Please help how to bring back that screen. (I have tried all screen layouts, but could not success)

Hi Ramesh,
Thanks for response.
Mentioned clearly that Depreciation tab is completely BLANK. How could I go and activate the check box when I am not able to see anything in that tab.
Please advise.

Populate Depreciation areas to the assets created with no depreciation area

Hi,
We created few Assets under a particular asset class. But only after creating we realised that there were no depreciation areas in it. So I added the depreciation areas to this asset class and then run
AFBN to populate the newly created depreciation areas to the existing assets.But it is not working. Could you please help me to populate these depreciation areas to those existing assets. Is it possible or not?
Please note, the depreciation area tab is completely blank. When I try AFBN for Depr area 01 (Derived Depr area), the system throws a message "Define depreciation area correctly".
I also tried AFBN with "Leave values initial" indicator checked. But still no results.
Do any one of you know how to populate the depr areas to those assets? The User have already created 45-50 assets. If there is no solution, then the last resort is to delete these assets.
Thanks & Regards,
Vinod

Hi Vinod,
AFBN is a simple tool, which copies entries from a source area to a target area. If you have no areas at all defined in the asset master record, there is no source to be copied.
I would propose to delete these assets with AS06 if possible and start over in this asset class. As I understand your description you can not have any posting to such assets up to now.
Regards,
Markus

How to correct the derived depreciation area balances (Group Assets)

Hi SAP Gurus....

Now how to update the same APC values in derived depreciation area and Group Assets from already posted APC values in real depreciation areas.
Thanks in advance.

Moving assets or portions of assets that are currently depreciating

When moving entire asset values or only portions of assets from one depreciating asset to another depreciating asset in the same asset class, does the depreciation recalculate automatically on each of the assets used in the transaction with the next periodic depreciation run (t-code AFAB) ?

Hi,
yes, the transfer is a closed process. In this process the sending and the receiving asset have to be consistent. That means for example: If the transfered amount is depreciated on the sending asset you can not depreciate it again on the receiving asset.
The following settings are relevant for this:
1) Flag "Adopting dep. start date" in the depr. key
If you make a transfers within a company code, then you have to use special transaction types (e.g. 300, 310) in order to guaranteed, that the values at the receiving asset match to the values to the sending asset. Acc. to note 327088 for transaction type 300 and 310 you have to set the flag "Adopting dep.start date".
F1 Help:
Indicator: Transfer adopting dep. start date
Set this indicator, if you want to adopt the historical depreciation
start date and capitalization date from the retiring asset when you
perform intercompany asset transfers or intracompany transfers.
2) Specify Transfer of Fields
CU: FI-AA:
-> Transactions
-> Intercompany Asset Transfers
-> Automatic Intercompany Asset Transfers
-> Define Transfer Variants
-> Specify Transfer of Fields (for New Asset in Target CoCd)
3) Period control of the depr key
4) Of course also the depreciaiton start date

Revaluation Areas AR29 AS01

Hello,
i have a problem and i wonder if someone can help me. I think it may be a system error.
The thing is that i had an existing Valuation Plan and i created a revaluation area. I had existing assets with its correspondig depreciation. When i executed TCODE AR29 it adds the revaluation area with no problems. The main problems is with the new assets, when i create a new one with TCODE AS01 on the valuation tab doesnt appear the new revalution area. ¿There is a way when you create a new revaluation area to show in the valuation tab on the AS01?
thanks.
Pedro Gotuzzo

Hello Pedro
What you have verified is not an error.
Pure revaluation areas are not updated on the asset when creating
them via transaction AS01 but they are displayed during legacy
data take over using transaction AS91.
When you create a revaluation area, it's not directly transferred from
the asset class to a single asset when it's created (AS01). As you know, to get
this, you must run program RAAUFW01: it will add revaluation areas to
existing assets.
For this purpose, you must define a revaluation measure.

Depreciation forecast after Asset revalution with AR29N inconsistent

There is a need to revalue assets on a certain date in the current
fiscal year. We did all the steps necessary to carry out revaluation
using Transaction AR29N, using the "new valuation of an asset"
function. After the reval the asset master was updated with the new Depreciation key and new useful life/dep start date.
SAP calculated the forecasted depreciation incorrectly in the
first few attempts, but after some testing it worked fine and we posted
periodic depreciation. This worked as expected. Using the same settings
in the same company code a new asset was revalued with a new value
date. The problem has returned although nothing was changed in the
system, The fore casted depreciation does not make sense.
Examples:
1. Asset Original Value at FY start - $100 with a planned dep of $1 for
the remaining useful life. Depreciation for 4th FP posted. Asset revalued
with a value date corresponding to FYP 04/2011. Revalued at $1200 with
new useful life of 24 months and new Dep start date corresponding to
start FYP 03. Expected depreciation PM is $50. This scenarion worked
fine.
2. Asset Original Value at FY start - $100 with a planned dep of $1 for
the remaining useful life. Depreciation for 4 FP posted. Asset revalued
with a value date corresponding to FYP 05/2011. Revalued at $2400 with
new useful life of 24 months and new Dep start date corresponding to
start FYP 03. Expected depreciation PM is $100. SAP shows forecasted
monthly depreciation of $108 per month

Hi Manish,
Are revaluated values appearing correctly in asset explorer (AW01N) both APC and depreciation.
If no then I would suggest to run AFAR for recalculate depreciation.
Thanks!!!

Error: "Depreciation start date required in old assets data (please enter)"

When , I use transaction AS91 , for an asset , with book depreciation key = 0000, the system shows this error:"Depreciation start date required in old assets data (please enter)",
somebody could help me with this please?

Check if the depreciation start date has got populated in the tab for depreciation areas in AS91.
Usually this gets populated based on capitalization/creation date.If not then try to enter this manually.
Thanks and regards
