Asset transfer - Acc depreciation transferred i.s.o NBV only

Hi,
User passed GL entries to the manual Asset cost account and Manual Accumulated depreciation accounts. (Debit Accumulated depr and cr cost) What entries can be processed to bring the assets in line with FI amounts? I was thinking of ABSO, but I'm not sure which Transaction Type to use. Can anyone assist?

Hi Paul,
Thank you for your response, I managed to get a transaction ABZ0N TType 160. In order for me to use this transaction, I had to change the configuration that it allows all values to be posted. The only problem is that it decreases the NBV of my asset and that is not what I was looking for. Do you know of any other transactions one can use that you don't have to enter an offsetting account as this seems to be the problem. The entries must be as follow: Cr Cost, Dt Acc depreciation, Cr depreciation - NBV must not change as well as the depreciation amount must not change.

Intracompany asset transfer of depreciation only

We have some assets that were loaded with our legacy load. They have no APC value, only Accumulated Depreciation.
Is it possible to partially transfer these assets to other assets Accumulated Depreciation that have APC without affecting the APC of receiving asset.
Also, if I wanted to transfer the one asset to many assets, does anyone have a suggestion.
Thanks

Thanks Raj. You are right, ABMA will work. I was looking for something to allow me to transfer a large accumulated depreciation asset to the accumulated depreciation of many smaller assets. I am talking about 1000's of assets so ABMA would be very time consuming.
I am thinking that my best alternative may be ABAP.

Hi,
check your period control for transfers. If it is pro rata, then the system will keep apparently 2 periods of depreciaiton on the sending asset.

Asset Transfer ABUMN - Depreciation Start Date

We have a problem with when Depreciation begins for an Asset as below:
The Business has transferred Asset A to Asset B via TCode ABUMN.
Asset A deactivated = 17.08.2011
Asset B Asset Value Date = 17.08.2011
Asset B Depn Calculation Start Date = 01.09.2011
When reviewing Depn for Asset B in TCode AW10 u2013 Ordinary Depn will not be posted until the new Financial Year 04.2012.
How is it possible to have Depn post from 01.09.2011 as defined in Depn Calculation Start Date?
Thanks in advanceu2026u2026u2026

In the problem scenario, for Asset A, there hashas been an Asset impairment in P3 FY2011 and this reversed in P5 FY2012. I have a feeling this may be the root of the problem, but as yet I haven't been able to confirm........

Asset Transfer to another Plant without transferring Accum. Depreciation

Our Client has some special requirement in Asset Accounting.
Suppose he has an Asset at Plant A with Original Cost - 1,00,000/- & Accumulated Depreciation of 40,000/-.
He wants to transfer it to Plant B at 60,000/- & 40,000/- Accumulated depreciation to remain in plant A(old plant).
But When we use TCode - ABUMN - Asset Transfer within a Company Code,
it transfers both 1,00,000/- Original Cost & 40,000/- Accumulated Depreciation thereon to new plant(plant B).
is it Possible in SAP?
Client is using SAP ECC 6.0 (Indian Localization)

Asset transfer .. Special depreciation values

Hello friends,
I was doing an asset transfer from one company code to another company code.. both belong to same Chart of depr. everything looks fine all APC, ordinary depr values got transfered to the new asset but the special depreciation values for the depreciation area ( 10 federal tax acrs macrs) is not getting transfered. Is there any setting that I am missing in the config.
Any help is appreciated
Thanks

Can Any one help me regarding this issue

Depreciation Problem after asset transfer

Hi All,
During our month end, our user did the asset transfer within the same company code. When he runs the Depreciation through AFAB, the new asset is not showing any depreciation for current month, where as Old asset has some balance. I checked the new asset and in the Depreciation area, the Dep. start date is showing as 05/02/08. We changed the date to 03/02/2008 through AS02, but still it is not showing up any depreciation. I do have following questions.
1. Can we transfer asset before depreciation run or run the depreciation first and then do the transfer. In our case we already transfered, so how do we fix it.
2. I wonder how it is getting the Odep. start date as 05/04/08. Is it defined some where in Depreciation key/
3. Can we run depreciation excluding that new asset. If so, how it can be done
Please let me know if anyone has come across this, and how to solve this.
This is an urgent.
Thanks
Kris

Hi Muriel,
I am very sure you did not do it correctly. Now, this is the step to follow:
1. First adjust the APC value to what it should be using transaction code ABSO. Once you're sure that your Acquisition Value is correct, the next thing to do is
2. To execute transaction AFAB(Depreciation Run) in "Test Mode". This would give you the depreciation that would be posted by the system asset by asset. This are under three main headings namely: "Planned", "Posted" & "To Post".
Depending on your depreciation method, the "Planned" figure gives the total amount the system would post for the financial year whilst the "Posted" figure gives you what has been posted up to date and the "To Post" figure gives you what would be charged to the P&L when you run AFAB in Production mode.
Your Net Book Value(NBV) at the end of the depreciation run for say November 2006 would be NBV = APC - (Posted + To Post)
If Posted + To Post (i.e. Accummulated Depreciation) is more or less than what you expect it to be from you manual calculation, you then need to adjust the figure upward or downward depending on the situation at hand. That is when you now need to
3. Perform Manual Depreciation Adjustment using either transaction code ABAA or ABMA.
You can then use AW01N to view the asset. You would be able to see the different postings made. Do not forget to run AFAB in production mode. If not, no depreciation value would be posted and your report would still be wrong.
I hope the above helps.
Do not forget to award the points please.

Jacob

Asset Transfer - problems with incorrect depreciation values/period

Hi,
I'm trying to do an asset transfer between two company codes with transaction ABT1N using the gross method.
My problem is that when the asset is transferred the number of depreciation periods restart in the receiving company but with the net value from the sending company.
Example:
Company 1100:
Asset 1:
Aquired: january 2005
Value: 10 000 $
Depreciation time: 5 year x 12 months = 60 periods
Transfer to company 1200 on july 2007...
Depreciation in 1100 so far = 5 000 $
Net value to be transferred to CoCode 1200: 5 000 $
Here comes the problem, when I look at the depreciation time in company 1200 after the transfer, I see that the system now wants to depreciate the net value of 5 000 $ on another 60 periods period. This means that the asset will have a lifetime of 7,5 years in total instead of 5 years.
What I want to do is that after the transfer the depreciation should only by the the number of periods that is left from the original depreciation start in company 1100. This means that after the transfer there should only be 30 depreciation periods left in company 1200 on the transferred asset.
Thanks for response! I will add a lot of points to thoose that provides me with solution solving info.
Best regards
Carl-Johan

Carl,
This is where you can influence the fileds to be transfered in the transfer variant [1-Gross in your case].
Asset Accounting>Transactions>Intercompany Asset Transfers>Automatic Intercompany Asset Transfers>Define Transfer Variants-->Specify Transfer of Fields (for New Asset in Target CoCd)
Select the variant 1-Gross method and then click on the Depreciation area on the left bar. The system will display the all the Depreciation area for the Chart of Depr in question. Here for each depreciation area you can dictate what values from the old asset need to be trf to the new asset.
In your case, the system is not transfering the remaining useful life. Precisely you need to transfer the field group 19-Expired useful life and 20-Expired life in periods.
That should do the needful for you.
Have a nice day.
Vishal Thakur.

Asset Transfer with Asset depreciation Strat date

Dear All,
I have a scenario where the asset depreciation needsto be calculated based on the asset transfer date,
For example if the asset accquired on 01.03.2011 and it is puts into used on 16.04.2011, tehn depreciation should be calculated from 16.04.2011.
To achive the smae while creating the asset master i have created depreciation start date in future date. When ever I wil ldo the asset trasnfer throguh ZProgram it will update the depreciaiton started with asset transfer date.
My problem is that if the same Asset get transfered from one location to other location that should be depreciated with the specified cost center from asset transfer date.
When Ever I do further transfer the system is considering the depreciation from transfer date only its ignoring the previous date which are not posted depreciation.
Please let me know is it the depreciation calculation will have with multiple transfer dates.
Regards,
Rama Mohan

Dear Mohan,
Generally the following points are relevant.
1. 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)
      -> 03#Ord.dep.start date
If you mark "03#Ord.dep.start date ", the system is calculating
depreciation from the year of capitalization.
2. Transaction type: Indicator: Transfer adopting dep. start date
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.
3. Also, could you please verify these setting in you system according
to note 327088
4. Period control of the depreciation key.
regards Bernhard

Mass transfering of assets into another depreciation book

Hi All
Please clarify my below query.
when an asset was initially capitalized in the wrong asset class. Asset master in the correct asset class should first be created and thereafter the values will be transferred via the transfer within company code function in the Fixed Assets module.
For example, 10 units of laptop were initially capitalized in one asset master with IT cost centre. If 5 units of the laptop need to be transferred to Finance cost centre, a new asset master in the same asset class will be created and partial transfer will be carried out for 5 units to the new asset master.
1. is it possible to mass transfering of assets into another depreciation book if yes.
please provide me the necessary steps to do the above activities.
Thanks & Regards
K.Gunasekar.

Hi,
It seems like you have an asset, with 10 Qty in an asset master.
Try to do asset partial transfer with ABUMN for 5 qty.
Hope this might help you.
Cheers,
Srinu

Issue in Depreciation Adjustment while Asset Transfer

Hi,
We have some old legacy assets which is capitalized in 2010 and depreciating for the last 4 years, These old assets contain the value of several different assets and the usefull life of the old asset is 50 years, Now we need to segregate these old asset to different new assets , my process contains
1) Creating new assets with different asset class with different usefull life
2) Transfer the respective value from the main asset to the new assets
3) Adjustment of depreciation already posted.
Here i am facing some issues regarding the asset transfer , anybody suggest which is the best way to transfer the asset acquisition value to new assets ?
when i am using ABUMN to transfer the values , system posting depreciation value adjustment which is the alredy posted depreciation for the past 4 years with the usefull life as 50 years. Is there any methode to adjust these value ?
If i am posting Asset transfer with F-02 (with negative posting) , system will transfer the net book value and start the depreiation calculation based on the usefull life of the new asset. Here system is not considering the depreciation already posted.
Is it possible to make changes in the system where assets will consider the depreciation start date as 2010 (old asset depreciation start date), If i am manually changing the depreciation start date then system is calculating the depreciation start date as 1st period of the current year (because previous years are alredy closed),
instead of 5 years usefull life ,system depreciated the values with 50 years, i need to adjust the posted depreciation and when i create a new asset with usefull life of 5 years i need to manage the asset as already 4 years usefull life is expired.
Is there any solution ?

Hi Ajay,
Case : We have an asset 1000, which contains a value of $ 100000, it was capitalizes in 2010 with usefull life of 50 years and past 4 years depreciating with 50 years usefull life, This is a legacy asset and contains the value of so mny different assets.
Now we need to create different assetd with different asset class and contains different usefull life, We need to transfer the value from Asset 1000 to these new created assets, here my concern is about the depreciation already posted to the asset 1000,
Assume my new assets value is $ 20000, i can transfer the value from asset 1000 to my new created asset. but here depreciation should be a problem because last 4 years depreciation is calculated as 20000 @ 50 years , but actual usefull life was 5 years.
Is there any methode to adjust the already posted depreciation.

Error in Transfer Asset Class-Incorrect depreciation calculation (FI)

System cannot proceed the asset transfer with ABUM transaction code because it will auto calculate depreciation based on acquisition value, supposely calculate depreciation base on net book value from date of transfer.
The calculation should be :
Acquisiton value (cost) = $54,430.92
NBV as at Nov 08 = $31,749.92
Depn rate = 20% base on NBV from date of transfer
Useful life = 5 years start from date of transfer
After the asset transfer is done the system still calculates the depreciation based on original acquisition cost but not based on the NBV e.g $31,749.92 from the transfer date e.g 20/12/2008. The depreciation for asset after the transfer should be based on 20% for 5 years straight line method.
When i check in asset explorer the reporting figures (comparison tab)the depreciation figures are not correct. Pls assist me on this urgently need solutions. thanks lot gurus

Hi,
Please check it in Depreciation key in afama under that multipul shifts and scrap value which is you are mentioned.

Mass Intercompany Asset Transfer

Hi
1. We have 7000 assets which needs to a Mass Intercompany Asset transfer
2. Depreciation has been booked to the above assets till Dec 2010 and business wants to transfer to another intercompany and dont want to have any depreication booked in the existing company code for the month of Jan 2011
3. Master data for the transferrable asset needs to be created in the new company with the left over life
4. Balance showing in the existing company books on those assets will get paid by the other company so that there is no loss/gain posting on the asset in the existing company accounts.
5. Once transaction is done: Depreciation will be calculated in the new company.
Suggest the steps and transaction codes that i need to follow
Thanks
Kum

Hi Vish,
We have 7000 assets which needs to a Mass Intercompany Asset transfer
Ans) Use LSMW or BDC with T.Code (ABT1N)
Question: i see multiple assets in Tcode ABT1N but its greyed out, how to open the field. You mean LSMW using recording one asset transfer using ABT1N? Could you please eloborate on this option
2. Depreciation has been booked to the above assets till Dec 2010 and business wants to transfer to another intercompany and dont want to have any depreication booked in the existing company code for the month of Jan 2011
Ans) Confirm from client Acc dep values req or not. Or they want only new values in new comp code.
Question: They want new values in the new company code but the new asset in the new company code will have the balance useful life ( like original life was 5 years out of 3 years were used and now transferred to the new company so the new company will charge only 2 years)
3. Master data for the transferrable asset needs to be created in the new company with the left over life
Ans) with transfer asset values system automatically creates new asset no with values while selecting New Asset radio button
Question: We have the same number range in both company codes and when i click new asset it is giving errors for transaction types. So is the other option is first create asset master record in the other company and then use the same asset as exisiting asset for transfer.
4. Balance showing in the existing company books on those assets will get paid by the other company so that there is no loss/gain posting on the asset in the existing company accounts.
Ans) you transfer assets , not sale or scrap. System will transfer assets with as on date values. No accounting entries loss or gain.
Question: We have straight line half year rule, so is there any way we can switch off this rule while transferring the asset.
5. Once transaction is done: Depreciation will be calculated in the new company.
Ans) this is standard practice system automatically updated asset de-activation field in old comp asset master, dep post only new comp code.
Question: Now Business wants to transfer AUC (asset under construction ) assets also, is there a way to do this and what will be the impact?

Issue In Asset Transfer

Hi
I have an issue in Asset. I have created an asset in a wrong asset class by mistake. Now I want to transfer the asset value to an asset created in the right asset class. But when I am doing this, the system is transferring the proptionate depreciation calculated to the new asset. Pls suggest
KM

Hi
It seems that the depreciation key has been configured to calculate the depreciation from the depreciation start key mainatained in the depreciation area. Hence, when you do the asset transfer, the system would post a pro rata depreciation from the depreciation start date to the date of transfer and transfer the same to the new asset. Howver, you can avoid that by changing the depreciation start date to the date of transfer. In such a case, no pro rata depreciation would not be calculated and transferred to the new asset.
Assign points if the information is useful to you
