Activate a depreciation area

In OAYZ for an asset class I have a revaluation depreciation area deactivate (area 44).
Now I must insert with AS91 in a company with the same chart of depreciation new assets in this class but the user want to insert value in this area (area 44) actually deactivate.
If I activate this area there are problems with all the other assets of the other companies that are in this class?
Thank for the reply.
Best regards.
Roby

Hi Roby,
if the depreciation area 44 is active in OAYZ it is available if you create a asset via AS01 or AS91. Then you can deactivate it in AS01 or AS91. This can be done in the tab strip "Deprec. area". If the asset is saved there is no more possibility to activate the areas. So, when you create a asset you can decide if you want to have the area 44 in the asset or not. This has no impact on other assets. If you would deactivate the area in OAYZ it would have a impact on assets which you create up to now, but not on already created assets. If a asset is already created it is not that easy to implement a new area. (Then there would be a little bit complicate procedure with RAFABNEW).
Hope this clarify your question.
regards Bernhard

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!

How to include depreciation are in asset master data

I have already activated depreciation area in the asset class but it did not appear inn asset master data.
How to include it there?
Tks,
Naej

Hi,
There are 2 aspect which you need to consider.
1) For exisiting asset as used AFBN as suggested by Srinivasa to activate the depreciation area.
2) For new asset OAYZ configuation would populate the dep key and life.
Thanks

How to bring back deactivated depreciation areas in AS92

We deactivated 6 depreciation areas in AS92 for 1 asset. How can we bring them back? Thanks!

OAYZ is to change activate/deactivate depreciation areas for the asset class. In AS92, I can deactivate depreciation area for a particular asset but how do I reactivate the depreciation area that I deactivated in AS92? THanks!

Re activate depreciation area: AFBN/RAFABNEW

Hi Experts,
We are trying to re activate an old depreciation area. I came across a note explaing how AFBN can help re activate. But the job RAFABNEW runs for chart of depreciation. I want to know if this can be configured to run for one company code.
Thanks,
Sandeep

Hi Ramu,
You can define all possible depreciation areas for your asset and then you may activate it or deactivate it using the following path:
Financial Accounting >> Asset Accounting >> Valuation >> Determine Depreciation Areas in the Asset Class
Transaction Code
OAYZ
This can be done irrespective of whether the depreciation area is defined in the Chart of depreciation or not.
Detailed procedure is given in this link
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/c7/dfbd8e1f1e11d384a700104b55af8e/frameset.htm

Fixed asset Write up Error. ABZU(Parallel depreciation area 32 is not poste

Hi Sap Gurus,
      I am running into an error when trying to post a write up via "ABZU". Here is the error message "Parallel depreciation area 32 is not posted". Message no. AA565.
Diagnosis
The asset to be posted does not manage parallel depreciation area 32, or transaction type that you are using is limited to certain depreciation areas, and does not contain depreciation area 32. This is incorrect.
System Response
Posting is rejected.
Procedure
Check the asset and the transaction type.
I tried "Limit Transaction Types to Depreciation Areas" in t-code:OAXE for derpeciation area 01 and 32 but still i am getting the same error. I am using ttype:700. When i look into derpeciation tab in asset master record i have depreciation area 32 is there. Is there any configuration piece i am missing. We are using area 32 as IFRS in group which is copy of 01.
Any help will be appreciate.
Thanks and Regards,
Babu

Hi,
There are the following reasons:
1) The wrong transaction type is being used. Please verify that you are using transaction type in the 700 series for your write-up.
2) The transaction type is restricted to certain depreciation areas.   In transaction OAXE the transaction type can be restricted to post only to certain areas. If the asset manages a parallel area you have to extend the posting to include the parallel area.
3) The asset was created before you introduced parallel currencies and does not manage the parallel area. In this case, the parallel area must be created on the asset or the values need to be transferred to a new asset that manages the parallel area.
4) Transacion types 600 and 601 can only be used for assets that have a calculation key in their depreciation area that allows no automatic calculation (for example depr key MANU). The unplanned transaction types however can be used with assets that allow automatic calculation.
You also need to verify that there are entries in Table ANLB for the asset in question for the depreciation area.
5) Your company code uses parallel currencies (currency types 10-co.code currency, 50-Index based currency, 30-Group currency...for example). The assets created in this company code must have the depreciation areas for parallel currencies active. You can only do this in activating the depreciation areas with parallel currencies for all the asset classes used in this company code.
Check transaction OAYZ to make sure the areas are activated for all asset classes in the co.code. If not, you will need to       activate these areas and ensure the asset has all areas assigned.

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.

AUC Settlement - values are not updated in all depreciation areas

Dear Friends,
I got a problem with Asset AUC settlement.
We have created a AUC, while creating asset master, we mistakenly deactivated one of depreciation area(area 70). After few days my user run settlement (in the year 2014). When user run settlement all values move to new asset except depreciation area 70 because in AUC asset area 70 is deactivated. But in new asset area 70 is required.
Now user realised it, is there any way to enter values in area 70, becuase we are using parellel ledger concept, area 70 is assigned ot one ledger when user run GL balances system showing differences in balances.
Please help me to solve this issue.
Thanks
Sudheer

Hi Sudheer,
This t.code will activate the dep.areas for all existing assets. If you want to activate for specific assets, then it is not possible. Alternatively, you select the check box "Leave values initial" and run the program. Here the check box will not update any values for the new dep.area for the existing assets. After that create a custom transaction type and limit the transactions for the new dep.area, after that do posting for the asset which you want postings.

Mukthar

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.
Eduardo

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.

Parallel depreciation area 04 is not posted.(Assets)

Hi All,
I have found below mentioned error at the time of Advance knocking off.(F-54)
Parallel depreciation area 04 is not posted.
I have found below mentioned error at the time of Advance knocking off.
The error message number :AA565
The Asset to be posted does not manage parallel depreciation area 04,or transaction type that you are using is limited to certain depreciation areas and does not contain depreciation area 04. This is incorrect.
Please help out for this issue.
Thanks and Regards,
Ram

Hi Ram
With regards to the issue, if you have activated the use of parallel currencies, all assets created in this company code must have the depreciation areas for parallel currencies active. You can only do this by activating the depreciation areas with parallel currencies for all the asset classes used in this company code. Check transaction OAYZ to make sure the areas are activated for all asset classes in the co.code . If not, you will need to activate these areas and ensure the asset has
all areas assigned.
Another reason why the error message appeared could be the asset was created before you introduced parallel currencies and does not manage the parallel area. In this case, the parallel area must be created on the asset or the values need to be transferred to new asset that manages the parallel area.
I hope this information helps.
Best regards
George

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.

Error when trying to activate new valuation area - AU158

Hi,
I´m getting an error when trying to activate a new valuation area by using AFBN transaction. I get a message that says "Closed fiscal years for areas 01 and 08 differ by more than 1 year" (AU158).
Then the system recomends me to check the settings of the depreciation areas for the closed fiscal years since the closed fiscal years of the areas are not allowed to more than 1 years apart.
When I check the settings in transaction OAAR what I see is: area 01 - 2010 and area 08 (newest) - 2008 fiscal year is assigned.
How can I close area 08? Will I need reopen the 01 area until 2008 fiscal year?
How can I create the new area with the same fiscal year closing?
Tks

Year end closing--AJAB
FY Change---AJRW
If you open FY 2008, then you can create new depreciation area through AFBN.
I guess this depreciation area doesn't generate any postings and this is only for reporting purpose.

Error when trying to activate new valuation area.

Hello forum,
I´m getting an error when trying to activate a new valuation area by using AFBN transaction. I get a message that says "Closed fiscal years for areas 01 and 10 differ by more than 1 year".
Then the system recomends me to check the settings of the depreciation areas for the closed fiscal years since the closed fiscal years of the areas are not allowed to more than 1 years apart.
But when I check the settings in transaction OAAR what I see is that same fiscal year is assigned to all the areas.
I don´t understand why the system is showing me this error then...How can I ensure all areas to be in the same fiscal year.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Do you have other company codes which are using the same Chart of Depreciation? Please check these company codes and perform fiscal year change to them.
It seems that the problem is related to note 421549 : the system tries
to check the entries for field T093B-ABGJA for all the entries,not
only for the relevant company code. If there's a difference of more
than 1 fiscal year between the last closed fiscal year for the area
you are trying to create, and one of the entries in T093B, then,
error AU 158 arises."
Because according to the note 421549: the system tried to check the entries for field for ALL THE ENTRIES,not only for the relevant company code.
If there's a difference of more than 1 fiscal year between the last closed fiscal year for the area you are trying to create, and one of the entries in T093B, then, error AU 158 arises.

No depreciation areas have been defined for asset

Dear consultant,
By mistake from our user had deactivated Depreciation Area in T-code AS92 for Auc asset 1200005 please suggest
How can we activate Deprecation area ?
Because We already settled 350 line item in same asset and still 150 item we have to settle from this asset.
The problem is if I run any T-code related that asset getting error
No depreciation areas have been defined for asset 1200005-0
Message no. AA025
one more thing i want to tell you that this happend only for one asset not for entire asset class I check in IMG Setting is ok for asset class.

I tried doing this but I got an error:
Depreciation area 01, which you want to create as a new depreciation area in chart of depreciation TTHI, 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.
Do you have another solution for this?
I hope anybody can help me on this issue.
