Actiavte New Depreciation Engine

Hi All,
I would like to activate to new depreciation engine for my client, for this i searched various notes but no where i found the steps for activating it.
Somewhere i got hint that i need to activate it by using T.code SFW5 for EA-FIN but i am clicking on 'Activate Changes' it is giving message that 'No Activation Necessary'.
Kindly suggest how i can do the same, what all steps i need to perform.
Requesting you to explain in detail because i never did this before.
Regards
Sandeep

Hi,
the new depr. engine is activated by activating EA-FIN.
Go to SFW5, mark the EA-FIN extension, tick the "planned status" indicator and tick "Activate changes", a backgorund job "SFW_ACTIVATE_SF0X" is started to activate the extension.
If it is activated the extension is highlighted yellow and the planned status says "Business function will remain switched on" in SFW5, there is a column in the right side of the screen displaying the activation date/time.
And if you are not sure if it is active or not, follow SAPNET note 965032 to check it using AW01.
Best regards, Christian

How to maintain master data when new depreciation engine is activated?

Dear Experts,
We have 4.7 to be upgraded to ECC6.0 and new depreciation engine will be activated.
For the changes of dep. keys, do we have to create a new master for each asset or is it possible to maintain the current masters by changing depreciation keys in master?
I appreciate your prompt reply!
Best regards,
S MK

Hi,
Thank you for the prompt replies!
I forgot to add that according to the law changes, we have to change depreciation keys.
So we are going to use new depreciation engine with changed depreciation keys.
Is it still possible to keep current masters without creating new ones?
Best regards,

Error message trying to install new search engines

When I go to google on firefox and search for a topic, I try to open a website and another website (morsearch, clickkick, etc) will open up instead into a new search engine with the same topic . What is this?

I go to google. I type in "plants". A lot of sites will pop up in google. I click on a site (does not matter which usually). The site will then start to switch to a new url from (click kick, morsearch, etc) turning into a new search engine with the same topic and more options. I never get to the page I want unless I type the url directly into the address box. It always comes back with a search engine. So far I have found this only happens while starting in a search engine. When I get into the actual page, everything is fine. I am using McAfee for security and it hasn't caught a virus or anything yet. Help please! Thanks!

Is there a way to stop Firefox from suggesting to add new search engines to my search bar?

Is there a way to stop Firefox from suggesting to add new search engines to my search bar whenever I visit websites that suggest to us to add their search engines?
I searched a lot and couldn't find any help. How to stop websites from suggesting to my Firefox search bar to add their search engines? I don't want to add other search engines other than the ones I organized. I don't want my list to look more distracting and longer.

Firefox doesn't do that. That's either a feature of the website you are visiting or possible Malware on that PC.

New Depreciation Area tobe added to the existing Assets

Hi,
I had Run OAYZ to activate a depreciation area for a Asset Class
I run AFBN to add this new depreciation area to the existing assets.
When I go to Assets Explorer (AW01N) I get following area
Values for Ordinary deprec. have changed in dep. area 13 in fiscal year 2007
    Message no. AU390
Diagnosis
    Depreciation terms were changed in depreciation area 13 since the last
    time depreciation was recalculated. The values for Ordinary deprec. that
    were saved in the database in fiscal year 2007 are therefore different
    from the newly calculated values by an amount of
    476.41-.
Procedure
    Check if the newly calculated values are correct. If they are, then
    carry out a depreciation recalculation. You should be aware that if you
    recalculate depreciation, new values could arise for all open fiscal
    years, and these would then have to be posted to the general ledger by
means of a depreciation posting run.
If, on the other hand, you want to keep the values that are saved in the
database, you have to set the depreciation terms back to how they were
at the time of the last depreciation recalculation.
To see a comparison of the old and new values, you can use the Display
dep. calc. function in the asset value display or the Recalculate values
function in the Asset Accounting menu.
Proceed
Now if I try to click on proceed and recalculate the depreciation (AFAR) the system gives error
40001        0    WRK SURF FOR RDQ WRKPROJCT RMS-RSCH DATA OP.   2007 Error
in dep. calculation
    Message no. BL001
Pl. guide me for the same.

Hi Sanjay,
Execute T Code AFBN and add the new depreciation areas to the existing assets. This will add the new dep area to all the assets under the particular char of depreciation.

New Depreciation Area - AFBN

Dear Experts,
My user has given a new scenario where we have to calculate tax depreciation for assets transferred from US books to SG books. When the transfers were executed, the tax depreciation area was not set up in the SG books' Chart of Depreciation. We do have other company codes assigned to the same chart of depreciation. For these other company codes, tax depreciation calculation is not required. In addition, the transferred assets and the assets in the other company codes share the same asset classes. The requirement is that we want to calculate the tax depreciation in the SG book only but not the other company codes.
Initially, we are looking at setting up the tax depreciation area in the SG book and activate the depreciation area via AFBN (program RAFABNEW). This will activate the tax depreciation area for all existing assets under the chart of depreciation/asset class assignment. However, we found out that we could not deactivate the depreciation area in the existing assets in the other company codes. This is regardless of whether we activate the field XAFBE (deactivate depreciation area) in the depreciation area layout. Seems that this only works with new assets.
Would like to seek your advice on the options available other than creating new asset classes for these transferred assets.
Is it possible to enhance the program RAFABNEW to include company code and asset classes?
Thank you.

This is another option that I used on that scenario, but it is up to you if you want to follow the same approach. We created a custom program that will put a temporary deactivation date on the assets the we do not want to extend the new book. Basically this is direct update on field ANLA-DEACTIV.
Then we run AFBN, since the assets are deactivated, new depreciation area will not be created on these assets, but only on those assets that are active.
Then you can set the deactivation date again back to "Blank" after you run AFBN.
Thanks!

New Depreciation to start from Mar (not Jan) after change of useful life

Hi
Does anyoe has any solution or will there be changes to SAP B1's Fixed Asset?
Let me explain the full scenario as below:
1) Customer has Fixed Assest which has useful life of 25 years, i.e. 300 months.
2) The assets has been depreciated for a few months, e.g from July 2008 to Mar 2009. In FA Master Data, it shows the remaining useful life is 294.
3) From Mar 2009 onwards, the management decides that the userful life is to be 30 instead of 25. The past depreciated value is to remain. The new depreciated value is to be effective from Mar 2009 onwards.
Changes Done
1) In Fixed Asset Master file, under the General tab, a change has been made to the Useful life from 300 to 360. The remaining life is auto-change to 354.
2) Re-run the depreciation for Mar 2009.
3) The new depreciated value is re-calculated from Jan 2009 onwards and the adjustment is posted in Mar 2009.
What is required is that Jan 2009 to Feb 2009 should remain the original depreciated value. The new depreciated value should be adjusted from Mar 2009 onwards.
Please advise is there any solution or proposals.
Example
Asset value = 518749.95
Useful life = 300
Remaining Useful life = 294
Monthly Planned Depreciated Value = 1729.17, Dec Planned Depreciated value = 1729.13
After Changes Done
Asset value = 250000
Useful life = 360
Remaining Useful life = 354
Monthly Planned Depreciated Value = 1436.09, Dec Planned Depreciated value = 1436.06
Required
Asset value = 250000
Useful life = 360
Remaining Useful life = 354
Jan and Feb Planned Depreciated Value = 1729.17
Mar 2009 onwards, Planned Depreciated Value = 1404.95
Calculation = (518749.95 - 20750 - 3458.34)/352
where 20750 is the depreciated value for 2008 and 3458.34 is the depreciated value for Jan and Feb 2009.

New Depreciation Area in Asset Master Data, for assets under construction.

Hi,
The issue is relating to New Depreciation area. We have created new Depreciation area as 80=IFRS. We had followed three 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 u2013 Indicator: Leave values initial = ticked. Set this indicator if you want to open the newly created depreciation area without any values i.e. blank.
In this we have find that the old assets value has been copied. But when we are doing internal order settlement through KO88 i.e. from pre-cap to AUC we are not finding new Depreciation area 80=IFRS in AUC. We had checked in AW01N.
Letu2019s assume that creating a new deprecation area is normally not required since these assets are not depreciated. But During the final settlement, the new depreciation area should also automatically supplied with values from the reference depreciation area from the AUC(assets under construction) in the completed assets. But we doesnu2019t find any values of in Dep Key = 80 IFRS for final assets.
In Assets Class of AUC we had used Investmnet Measure as Status of AUC.
Kindly provide solution for the same.
Nikhil

Check Transfer Variant 5 (under Transactions->Intercompany Asset Transfers->Automatic Intercompany Asset Transfers->Define Transfer Variants):
5     Investment measure settlement
Your Transfer Method is most likely 1 now (without transfer to dependant areas), change it to:
4     Gross method with transfer of values to dependent areas
This should help.

Is anyone having problems with trail sites are not allowing updates under the new rendering engine.

My Trial sites are NOT saving edits made in multiple areas.
Examples
Products - Anything I try to do in the product description window says it has updated but then reverts back to what it was originally.
Web pages - Same for anything in the page updates in the page content window.
Product Attributes wont update.
It appears I can add new things, but no edits work.
All say they are saved then revert back on screen to previous version.
It is only happening on my trial sites, which has been upgraded to the new liquid engine as far as I can tell as my live sites are fine. (or not converted yet)
I can do some updates via dreamweaver and FTP.
Thanks
Melissa

Thanks
I have contacted support and it appears to be only an issue with IE as works in Firefox.
They are saying it is an issue with my PC / Browser as they cannot recreate it -
I have reset all IE back to standard settings.
My question is if it were only an issue with my browser, why does it work on the live sites and the sites not yet transitioned.

Value in new depreciation area is Zero

Hello All,
I have created a new depreciation area 11. In OABC it is set as 01 (values from book depreciation). In OAYZ, I have assigned the new depreciation area to new asset classes. Then I transferred to value from old assets to new assets by ABUMN and run AFBN for opening the new depreciation area.
In AW01N, I can see the new depreciation area for the asset but with zero value. In the transactions I see the transfer with transaction type 158 and with zero value for the new area. The transaction type taken for book depreciation is 310 and has the correct value. But earlier when I did the testing in quality the transaction type was 310 for both the areas.
In AFBN, the check box Leave initial value was unchecked initially and when I ran it again I result was processed 0 and error 0. I reversed one asset and transferred to new asset class containing both depreciation area again. But again the value in depreciation area 11 is Nil.
Please help.
Thanks,
Sangram

Hi Sangram
Since you are already executed AFBN with the option "Leave initial values", you cannot update the records now, as the table entries have already would have got created in tables ANLB,ANLC, etc.
Now if you want to copy values from other depreicaiton areas to new dep area, one option is to copy a ZZZAFANEW1 by doing a small modification (that is by changing all ABAP commands INSERT to UPDATE) and execute this program. This will update the values from the source depreciation area to target depreciation area, even if table record already exists.
This code is available in SAP note no.317806
Test it thoroughly before using it in Production client. Also take care to enter a correct source and target depreciation area to avoid further problems.
Hope this helps.
Regards

I have a question about japan new depriciation engine using non-japanese chart of deprication

Hi, all
I have a question about link between new depriciation engine and chart of depriciation.
My client want to use US chart of depriciation as standard chart of depriciation becuase it has already standard setting like IAS deprication keys.
it means I have to create Japanese chart of depriciation by copying from US chart of depriciation(non-japanese sample(0JP))
I have a little doubt about it. In my previous project, I copyed chart of depriciation by copy from Japan sample Chart of depriciation(0JP) stored in SAP.
Is it possible to copy from non-japan sample charg of depriciation to using Japanese new depriciation engine? I worried some errors will occrues if I do not use sample chart of depriciation(0JP) .
If I need to use sample Japanese chart of depriciation, please give me the idea why I need to use Japanese sample chart of depriciation. I want to know the examples of non-Japanese asset accouting consultants who have working experience in the area.
Thank you.

Hi, Narasimhulu
Thank you for your support.
My client use one COA to all over the world. And not only Japan, other country aslo use the COD which is copied from that of US. Basic reporting line is for USGAP. I will customize 2 depriciation ares, one for US GAP and another is JGAP. No need to create TAX realted customize. It means it enought only adding Japanese new depriciation keys to Current US COD. No need to add more Japanese local requirements.
In this case, I want to know follwoing point.
I know COD controll depriciation keys, but I want to know more detail about COD, what kinds of controls COD do. What is Japanese local requirements. Why better to use COPY of JP COD.
Thank you.

FI-AA new depreciation area - treatment depreciation previous years

Hi,
In the FI-AA module , next to the already existing depreciation area 01 for Fiscal reporting with full integration of postings to FI-GL, I have created a new depreciation area 20 for te purpose of Management reporting which takes over its APC values from depreciation area 01 and does only post different Depreciation values to FI-GL.
Subsequently I updated the data for the new depreciation area in teh already existing asset master data records ( different depreciation keys).
The depreciation calculation and resulting postings for the current year are correct.
However I wonder what will happen with the data for the previous years;
when i look in the asset explorer i do see for the new depr area in the "posted values" tab that it reports for the previous years planned depreciation amounts . However we do not want to post these amounts in the previous years because these years have already been closed and audited.
Will we be able at the end of this fiscal year to changeover FI-AA to the new fiscalyear ( transactions AJAB, AJRW) without the system complaining with error messages that we first need to also perform the depreciation postings for all the previous years in this new depreciation area ?
Many thanks in advance for your much appreciated help.
Kind Regards,
Arjan

Can you please tell me how you added the new depreciaton area to the existing asset masters in those classes ? To get the new depreciation area to show up? We just did the same thing and we're only working with assets that were acquired this year - but we can't get the new depreciation area added to the assets that already existed in those classes. If you figured out how to do that it would sure help us out. I look forward to your response. We're in 4.7.
Thanks
Karla
Never mind found it from reading other posts. I used AFBN and it worked. Thanks
