Asset write-off in prior month.

Is it possible to write off assets from an earlier month end date e.g the NBV of assets with a month end date of 31/05/09 or can you only write off within the current month?
If this is possible, how will SAP deal with the depreciation and how will it charge any depreciation posted after that date?

Hi Jeremy Lumb
Yes you can retire an asset in prior period where depreciation has already been posted. The system will recalculate the total depreciation for year in the retirement year and make adjustments (positive value) in the next period. You can then run depreciation again so the adjusted value will be posted .
Hope this helps.
Thanks

  • Asset Write-off in Advance..

    Hi All,
    Can anybody explain me about an asset write-off procedure before the End-of-Date of that asset value date.
    For example Asset having the End-of-date as 31.12.2008. For this, we want to write-off this asset on 31.10.2007.
    Thanks in Advance...

    Hi Pal,

    Please reply me...

  • Park Asset Write Off Posting

    Dear SAP Gurus,
    Can anyone help me with one of the Asset scenarios, whereby the user wants to have the option to park the asset write off first before making the actual posting. I can't seems to find any function available for this. If not, can anyone suggest if there's other way to resolve this.
    Thank you very much. Your advice is much appreciated.
    regards,

  • Asset Write-off after retirement

    Dear Masters in Asset Accounting,
    I have a situation where I have to write off the asset in secondary ledger (Ledger A2). The problem is that the asset retirement (ABAVN) was done in the past so I can't write-off the same by using T-code ABSO. Also, we are posting the depreciation to that asset since last 5 months, so I can't write-off by using FB01 / FB01L.
    Is there any other way I can write off the asset after retirement only in secondary ledger?
    Thank you for reading this and your help.
    Jay

    Hi Bernhard,
    Why you can't make a write-off?
    A: Because it gives me an error message. When I try to use ABSO, it gives me an error message saying Asset retirement has alredy been posted so transaction not possible. I am using ABSO because I want to make changes only in ledger A2 (secondary ledger / US GAAP). I can't ABAVN again because it will affect both the ledgers which I want to change only US GAAP.
    Is the asset deactivated after ABAVN?
    A: No, the asset is not deactivated. It is still active and in use.
    Thank You,
    Jay

  • Asset write off in the current fiscal year.

    Hi Experts,
    I want to write off an asset in next 4 periods of the current fiscal year 2007. For example:
    Asset 11000
    APC value: 10000
    APC Date: 01.01.2005
    The useful life will end in fiscal year 2008.
    The book value left at the begining of the current fiscal year 2007 Rs. 4000.00
    In the current fiscal year this asset has already been depreciated for previuos 3 periods.
    Now Business wants to write off ( fully depreciated ) this asset in next 4 periods equally and then if the book value and tax value is nil, they want to scap the asset.
    Now can you please tell me how to make this happened. Its very urgent. If you need any more information, most welcome.
    Rgds,
    BABA

    Hi,
        You would have to set the asset to manual depreciation(Depr.Key MANU)
    and generate a posting via ABMA for each of the periods.
    Kind regards

  • Calculating prior months using off-set and crossing to prev year

    Gurus,
    I am getting current month period based on user entered value and calculating prior month by off-setting current month by 1.
    it works fine when current month value is greater than 1. If it is 1, prior month does get evaluated as 12 of previous year.
    Example...
    If Current period is - Feb, 2008 (02/2008). previous period comes fine as Jan, 2008.
    If current period is Jan, 2008 (01/2008) perious period is unknown. (I want it to be 12/2007).
    is there way to handle this without too much coding etc?
    Regards,
    -SM

    Mayank,
    What is SAP variable for Fical Year/Period, which will have both month and year value? (I guess I need to Fiscal posting period rather than Cal month?)
    Also what is SAP variable for Quarter/Year? I need to off-set of quarter also.
    Thanks, -SM

  • Write off assets

    What is the best method to write off assets to 0, This means I want to accelerate depreciation so that the asset net value reaches 0. But I <b>do not</b> wat to retire the asset.

    Post unplanned depreciation in the amount of the current net book value.  Keep in mind that this will take affect after depreciation is run (it is not an FI document) and will therefore show the asset as being fully depreciated.
    There are some other ways (using special depreciation transactions) but this is the one most widely used.

  • Write off the asset

    Hi,
    Please can someone advice me how do we write off the asset.
    Regards,
    Parul

    hi
    You can call up the asset history sheet as a totals list, or as a detail list showing individual assets. The detail list shows the capitalization date for each asset, and, if applicable, the deactivation date and any transactions in the year being reported.
    There is a special history sheet version defined for showing special reserves for special depreciation. This version shows the
    ·        Initial balance
    ·        Allocation to special reserves
    ·        Write-off (depreciation) of special reserves
    ·        Write-off of special reserves due to asset retirements
    ·        Write-off of special reserves due to transfers
    ·        Closing balance
    Procedure
           1.      Call up the report for creating the asset history sheet (Info system ® Report selection ® Balance sheet explanations).
           2.      Enter the start parameters for the report. Make the following particularly important entries
    –         Company code for the report
    –         Report date
    –         Sort version that you want to use
    –         Asset history sheet version that you want to use
    –         Use the “current book value” indicator to specify if you wish to show planned annual depreciation, or the depreciation already posted.
           3.      If you have not posted the actual retirement of low value assets, you can use the asset history sheet to simulate their retirement (in order to minimize the transactions necessary for their retirement). In this case, enter the asset class for low value assets.
    You also need to specify a time period for the retirement simulation. Please note that the simulation time period must begin on the same date every year so that LVAs can be shown continuously and correctly in the history sheet. This fixed start date should lie in the distant past (for example 1900). Using the same start date each year ensures that LVAs, for which retirement has already been simulated, do not appear in the history sheet with their APC in subsequent years. In addition, the end date for the simulation time period has to be in a fiscal year that is still open.
    The same procedure applies for intangible assets.
    Graphic: Simulation Time Period
           4.      Limit the report as needed. If needed, make additional entries for lists created using batch input.

  • Assets Write-Ups ABZU

    Hi,
    I want to post assets write up with $ 5000 and want this to affect the NBV. What is happening is that some of the amount get caught into ordinary depreciation so ultimate impact is just $ 4000.00.
    This way my depreciation for the year is increased and my NBV is falling short by $ 1000.00.
    I tried using different Dep key but they make things more complex due to recalcuation.
    Please suggest how to avoid assets write posted from getting depreciated in that year or month?
    Best Regards
    Rajesh

    Thanks George,
    You have understood my requirement correctly, infact I would favour to post the write up on the last day of the last period of the fiscal year.
    I want that NBV gets affected with the writeup year end (the day write is posted) while the depreciation is recalculated from the next fiscal year.
    Does this allow affecting the NBV year end?
    Regards
    Rajesh
