Hi Tamilselvan,
it can have impact on the derpeciation calculation.
Perhaps it have impact on reporting (for example RAGITT_ALV01 if some transactions are posted bevore the capitalization date.
perhaps the following notes will help you.
50970   When and with which date is an asset capitalized?

Generally this should not be really critically.

How to change Asset Capitalization date ?

Hello
All Experts,
I want to chnage asset capitilizatio date so how can I ?
Experts guidance is needed.
Regards,
Pankaj.

Hi,
You can change the asset cap date at any point of time using AS02.
But the date in the First acquisition on cannot be changed, since it is a display field.
At the time of changing the cap date, system will shows an warning message like below.....
You should no longer change the capitalization date
Message no. AA225
Diagnosis
You have changed the asset capitalization date.
You can make this change, however this warning should make you aware of the consequences of such a change.}
And what is the business requirement to change the cap date?, since if you have already posted the dep posting, it doesnot make any adjustment to it.
Thanks,
Srinu

Capitalization date change

Hello
the users requirement to change the capitalisation date according to them when they do the GR, they don't want to capitalise it.......it can be some time later.......for that what are the steps required............
regards

Hi,
Check whether they want to do Asset Capitalization at invoice receipt or not.. if yes, then you can use Non-Valuated GR, where system will not post any document at GR, and Asset will be capitalized at Invoice Receipt.
Or
If users do not want to capitalize asset at invoice receipt too, then follow AUC route. create one Separate G/L (profit and loss a/c and primary cost element) for these postings. The expenditure will be treated as capital expenditure since it will reflect in AUC, and whenever user wants to capitalize this, he can do Final Settlement.
While doing Final Settlement user will have a option to specify asset value date. (by, standard if this field is blank then system uses last day of the period for posting settlement)

Asset capitalization date

Dear Experts,
I am buying asset by PO. As far as I know, when we check goods receipt field in PO, system must use MIGO ( goods receipt ) date as capitalization date of asset. but when I try to do MIGO for such an asset, system shows me following error:
- Asset 1111 111000010-0 is incomplete, check the asset Message no. AAPO184
Diagnosis
The 'incomplete' indicator was set for asset 1001 111000010-0 because required entries were not made.
After investigating I see in asset master data, that asset does not have capitalization date and system consider that asset incomplete. ( I created asset at the time of creating PO ). please tell me why this happens and system needs capitalization date while capitalization date for that asset must be MIGO date. and system must not stop me and show error.

Hi rakesh
Capitalization date were system will calculate the actual depreciation and how it can be GRN date ??
When you create assets in master data system you have to give capitalization date not as GRN date

Asset capitalization date not appropriate

Hi,,
Please tell me while I run Asset settlement through KO88 in period 7 ie, 22October 2010 asset capitalization and first acquisition date become 31.10.2010 instead of 22.10.2010. Because I executed asset settlement through KO88 on 22.10.2010 which is appearing 31.10.2010. What is the actual logic of taking advance value date instead of taking current date? Is it taking entire month and value is stamped on asset master as last day of month.....
Regards,
Samrat

Dear Samrat,
when you enter the capitalization date manually the system uses this date as the default asset value
date when you post the first acquisition to the asset. If you do not enter a capitalization date in the asset master record, the system   automatically adopts the asset value date of the first acquisition   posting as the capitalization date. The system inserts the asset value    date of the first acquisition posting in the capitalization date field   (Capitalized on...) in the asset master record, when a capitalizing   transaction type is used.
Please check your customizing in IMG: Asset Accounting > Transactions > Specify How Default Asset Value Date is Determined
The System logic with Asset capitilisation date is as follows:
When no capitalization date is entered in the asset master record the posting date of the first posting will be taken as the      capitalization date not the asset value date.
Documentation:
R/3 Library:
Asser Accounting > Basic functions for transactions > Dates in Asset accounting
Default Values for Asset Value Date:
- Initial acquisition > Capitalization date from master record (if in
   same FY, otherwise posting date)
- Settlement of AuC > Posting date
Set 'Prime Rule' and 'Alt.Rule' for each transaction (in your case it is
for transaction 'Settlement of AuC')

Where to down load assets with Asset Capitalization date and Book value..

Hi All,
What is table/Transaction code to down load Asset with below details:
1) Capitalization
2) Acquisition value
3) Book Value
4) Book Dep Value
5) Cost center
Thx In advance..
Regards,
Shirisha

You can try the Asset History Sheet report S_ALR_87011990 (which has all fields except for cost center) and if you want additional fields you can choose to add new fields through the link [Include own fields in FI-AA standard ALV |https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ERPFI/IncludeownfieldsinFI-AAstandardALV] the relevant report for Asset History Sheet should be Asset History Sheet -> FIAA_SALVTAB_RAGITT includes CI_REPRAGITT (out of RAGITT_ALV01). Else a quicker option would be to perform a vlookup process from another report that has cost centers like S_ALR_87011979.

Asset acquisition date (How to change?)

Hi all,
As per http://www.jt77.com/financials/finan-15236.html
Asset capitalization date = 1day of depreciation calculation
Asset acquisition date = day of first cost allocation to the asset
Asset value date = date of effect in asset account of a posting
From the above dates, I would like to have a try to give my understanding on them.
Let say I have acquire an asset through a PO -> GR -> IR on 15 Oct 2007.
If I set the Cap Date as on 01 Nov 2007, and Asset Value date as on 01 Dec 2007, does this mean that ...
Question 1:
My Asset depreciation will starts on Dec, with 2 months depreciation, which is Nov and Dec (because my Asset Cap Date is on 01 Nov 2007)?
Question 2:
What if I want to change the Asset acquisition date to, say 01 Nov 2007?
I tried AB08 to reverse the asset, and change the GR posting date (through MIGO), and these date affect asset value date only.
I tried also to reverse the IR (using MR8M) and re-post the IR using Miro, with different Invoice and Posting date, these date only affect the FI documents.
I tried AS02, and I can only change Cap date, and NOT the acquisition date.
Please help on this, and clarify the usage / importance of the acquisition date.
As per AS03 (wrong first acquisition date)
Andreas Mann said that crucial is the "asset value date" (field BZDAT)it should be 31.05.2007, than first acquisition date is not important

Capitalization Date= Date on which the asset will be capitalized
Acqusition Date= Date on which first transaction is done on the asset after creation. It cannot be changed once a value is posted to the asset
Asset Value Date is important to determine the Depreciation
Asset value Date determines the postings to the asset. You can set the configuration for default asset value date. It is the date with which user wants to post to the asset, i.e it can be Document Date, Posting Date, Capitalization Date, Goods Receipt date. Check the list in
Asset Accounting> Transactions> Specify How Default Asset Value Date is Determined
Ordinary Depreciation Start Date Date on which the system starts calculates and posts depreciation
Ordinary Depreciation Start Date can be determined by the system through Priod controls defined or entered manually by the user. If entered manually it surpass the system calculated date.

Changing capitalization date

hi there
My effort is to add tax (area 10) values to existing assets.
As of now I have an asset.
capitalization date 1/1/2003
book deprn start date as 05/30/2003.
but we want , for tax purposes, in area 10, we need the deprn start date as 1/1/2002.
The system is only calculating accum deprn in as92 (for area 10) ONLY if i put the capitalization date as
1/1/2002.
PLease let me know what would be the implications if I change this to 1/1/2002 on the book deprn values.we are in 2009 and change the fiscal year.
Thanks
MSJ

Hello
I don't think there is any major impact.
Ensure that this tax depreciation area does not post any real time entries.
Make statistical entry as check point.

Invalid Asset Capitialization Date

We have an asset that was accidentally entered with an Asset Capitalization Date of 10/01/0988. Because of the bad date, SAP will not allow the asset date to be changed or allow the asset record to be deleted on-line. How can we fix the asset?

You can changed the Asset Capitalized date thru AS02 in master data tab.
Check if the field is greyed. If it is then you will need to goto SPRO and into the field variant status.
I am not sure how you capitalized. If you have settled it thru AIAB then simply reverse the document thru AIST.
Check the above two solutions and if not then email me more details please.
Thanks

Asset value date in case of multiple GRs

Hello All,
Could you please advise on the below issue.
I have created PO with one line item for quantity of 5 for acquiring 5 Fixed assets. Created 5 GRs with different dates as mentioned below
S.No. GR posting date Asset No.
1 18.08.2009 190698
2 28.08.2009 190699
3 10.08.2009 190700
4 06.08.2009 190701
5 03.08.2009 190702
In 1st asset capitalization taking 18.08.2009 which is Ok, for 2nd Asset also capitalization date taking as 18.08.2009 ( i.e. 1st GR date), for 3rd Asset capitalization date taking as 10.08.2009, for 4th Asset capitalization date taking as 06.08.2009 & for 5th Asset capitalization date taking as 03.08.2009. That means capitalization date it is taking as Oldest GR date. But essentially capitalization should pick from GR posting date (i.e.for 2nd asset it should take capilization date as 28.08.2009 instead of 18.08.2009).
Could anybody has clue why system is picking 1st GRN date when I have posted 2nd Asset.
Thanks a lot for your help in advance.

Srinivas

How to delete an asset with a capitalization date inefaceable and no value?

Hi all,
An asset was created on the wrong asset class. I would like to erase it but this is impossible because of the capitalization date.
Indeed, I cannot change the fields status variant of the capitalization date, it is compulsory.
Furthermore, as this asset was an error, there are no values on it.
I tried to enter a deactivation date, but this is not possible because of no acquisition performed.
Therefore, I would like to know if it is possible to erase an asset even if a capitalization date has been entered in the master data?
If it is possible, how can I do?
Thanks for help

Hi,
This is the drawback in asset master, when you make cap date as mandatory for AS01 transaction.
As a standard practice, cap date gets updated automatically when posting MIGO / F-90 only along with the qty.
In your case, first ask your ABAP member to delete the values from cap date field from table ANLA. (Field Name: AKTIV) for your questioned asset.
Then you can delete that asset with AS06 by choosing Physically delete the asset.
This will resolve your issue.
But if you make your field status as optional to cap date, then you must not got these kind of issues in the future.

Asset incorrect capitalization date

An asset is created with an incorrect capitalization date with date feb 2007. now they found out the cap date should be 12/01/2007, so the asset is posted with addl depreciation for 10 months . how to credit depreciation
What is the ideal way to correct it.
Fyi..2007 is already closed.
Any clarification is appreciated.
Thank you

Thanks for your response..I realize I just have to write up depreciation using ABZU, but do I need to make any changes to the asset master to the depreciation start date
Also when I use ABZU/ ttype 700 to writeup does it recalculate depreciation.
Thank you

How to change the capitalization date

Hi ,
I carried out WBS to AUC settlement on 31.12.2009, due to which AUC cap. date becomes 31.12.2009. Now i want to change the cap date to 01.12.2009. How do i do it? Reversing the settlement using CJ88 can only change the first Acq date but not the cap date. Also cap date is not an editable option in AS02.
Reason for all this is that i want the cap date of fixed asset to be 01.12.2009.
Regards,
DP

Hi Srinu,
Thanks for your reply. Are there any implications of changing the cap date manually? Is it an advisable option or is it better to keep asset value date as 31.12.2009 and then post an unplanned dep for the asset.
Regards,
DP
