Asset transfer date

Hi,
Thanks for ur response, till now we were not run the depreciation from the golive date, now they were reconciling the depreciation in AW01N with manually for the last fiscal year 2007 to run the depreciation. In the asset transfer date(IMG) it is showing 31.03.2005. I think somebody changed the take over date in asset transfer date. In Asset explorer (AW01N) it is showing difference value in Ordinary depreciation while comparing with manual depreciation and also in AS92 it is not showing the take over values getting green colour message as "Asset was not created as old asset data record - (Check your entry)" I had checked in development server. if I changed the Asset Transfer date it is asking the recalcuate the depreciation. My doubt this is correct solution, if it is correct shall I do this directly in Production. Kindly helpme in this issue.
Regards,
Prasad

Hi,
This defending upon your fiscal year varient. Is it Jan - Dec or Apr-Mar.
If Jan to Dec, change your asset transfer date to 29.02.2008 and upload it in any of the day in march or later. In this case, you have to upload all the assets purchased during last year with acc. depreciation and current yr procurement, you have two option, upload with 2 month dep or upload without dep and run the dep on 3rd month for period 3, it will post all 3 months dep at once.
If Apr-Mar, keep the data as such, upload the data on 1st Apr. All previous year procurement should be uploaded with acc. dep.
Hope it helps

AW01N is blank on Asset transfer date

Hi All,
We have uploaded asset legacy transfer via LSMW as of 31.12.2009.
Below are the steps:
1. Asset Transfer Date: 31.12.2009
2. Company not in productive status
3. OAYC - Last Depre Run: Blank because asset transfer date is at end of year
Symptom:
1. Asset takeover value is displayed on 31.01.2010 but IS BLANK on 31.12.2009 (under AW01N)
2. Asset Balance also BLANK on 31.12.2009, only shows value on 31.01.2010
Question:
Why can't AW01N or Asset Balance show asset value as at 31.12.2009? Is this normal symptom? If not normal, is there any setting that we missed out or need to change?
Thanks,
CW

Hi,
Asset value date will reflect in AW01N only for the asset APC related transactions happening after go-live. Legacy assets will not have asset value date in asset explorer, unless there is a transfer or post cap transactions happened after take over date.

Can we change asset transfer date after going productive since five years

Hi,
I got a requirement where there is an asset since 1993 in legacy system, which now should be moved in to SAP.
But problem is we went live in 2003, I had set asset transfer date to 31-12-2003. Now I need to take over asset acquisition value & accumulated deprecation into SAP as on 2008 date.
It means I need to change asset take over date to 31.12.2008 from 31-12-2008. So can any one tell whether I can go ahead and change the asset transfer date, if I could change what would be effect on the existing assets?
Best Regards,
Giridhar

There is no impact on your existing asset when you change the take over date only a message when you run reports on old fiscal years. The old fiscal year should be closed and you can no longer be reopend (it is no longer there, take over is later) You can test this first in you test system
But it is better to use the other option no customizing and manual posting with OASV for the asset values. 2 minutes work and the asset is in
Even for conversions I go now for this option (own transaction key Y47) and no longer using AS91!.
When values are wrong you can reverse the posting and post again.

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.

Change in Specify Transfer Date/Last Closed Fiscal Year in Asset Accounting

Hi,
While uploading the asset master data and values,I have given the Specify Transfer Date/Last Closed Fiscal Year date as 31-12-2008.But as per the fiscal year 4-4-5,2008 closed on 03-01-2009.
what are the consequences,If we change the Specify Transfer Date/Last Closed Fiscal Year date from 31-12-2008 to 03-01-2009 as the 2008 closed on 03-01-2009.
Kindly give me some inputs regarding this change.
Thanks
Supriya

Hi
Please note
I you change the transfer date to current FY date , system will not allow u to upload data in PY.
See the below
Transfer Date
This date determines the status of posting to be used for the
transfer (posting up to this date will be included in the transfer), not
the actual date the data transfer is carried out. This specification
also determines whether you want to perform the transfer during the
fiscal year (with transfer of posted transactions/depreciation in the
current fiscal year) or at the end of the fiscal year (without
transactions).
If the transfer date is not the last day of the fiscal year (according
to the fiscal year variant in FI), the system interprets this as
transfer during the fiscal year. The system cannot transfer any
historical transactions. It can only transfer cumulative values from the
end of the last fiscal year, and the transactions in the current fiscal
year (the second is only possible for transfer during the fiscal year).
Example
transfer date = December 31, 1997
=> last closed fiscal year = 1997
Specify Last Period Posted in Prv.System (Transf.During FY)
    You must specify the period up to which depreciation was posted in the previous
    system. This period refers to the posted depreciation that is to be
    transferred during old assets data takeover.
Thanks

Asset Legacy data transfer reconciliation with GL

We have recently merged a deactivated company code with our operating company and transferred all Finance processes, open items,master data etc.
We transferred assets using Legacy Data Transfer AB91 (we did not use intercompany asset transfer ABT1N).
We then transferred the Trial Balance.
The asset balances reconcile against the GL accounts for the transferred assets when executing S_ALR_87011964 and FS10N.
However there is a difference in ABST2 which is the same difference as the migrated assets.
I would expect there to be no difference between FI and AA for legacy data transfer
I have also run ABST for all affected GL accounts and there is no difference when executing this report.
Note that the company code migration occurred in January 2008, there is no effect on 2007 year end data.

Hi
You have to take over the GL balance using OASV t.code

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........

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

About settlement, asset master data's amount column value

Dear Experts,
I build an aseet master data : A (the amount column's value is 0 in asset master data)
Then, I build an asset purchase order assign to A , after I do GR, A's amount column's value change to 1.
But if as follows,
I build two asset master data : B and C ,
B's asset catalog is 167200(prepay for equipment) , c's asset catalog is 153100 (normal fixed asset)
Then , I build an asset purchase order assign to B, then do GR , B has amount 1, and then ,
I do t-code: AIAB , settlement B to C , I found B's amount column's value still show 1 , and C is still 0 ,
but the asset value certainly has transfer from B to C......
why B's amount column's value doesn't be changed?
I can't figured out.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Best Regards,
Yacoa
Edited by: Yacoa Chen on Mar 15, 2011 9:14 AM

Hi
If B is still showing value - It means values are not settled
After AIAB - You need to run AIBU to settle the values.. Did you run AIBU??

Asset takeover date and asset split

Hi All,
I have an asset X with NBV of say 2000 (APC 5000 and Acc Dep 3000). This is currently available in system as one single asset.
The problem is u2013 above asset is in fact a sum of many small assets for which useful life is different and NBV is different (we are tracking it outside SAP as of now)
Say Asset 1..with APC of 300, Acc Dep as 200 and NBV of 100 u2026total useful life is 10 yrs and remaining useful life is 2 yrs
Asset 2..with APC of 400, Acc Dep as 250 and NBV of 150 u2026total useful life is 10 yrs and remaining useful life is 4 yrs
Similarly I have different assets which add up to asset X as mentioned above.
Asset take over date is 31.12.2009 (We follow Jan to Dec year). We have gone live in mid 2010.
I would like to bring those assets into Sap now. I mean make the adjustments now u2013 split the asset X to different assets. (We did not calculate dep for asset X until now from go u2013 live).
We want to the calculate dep for newly created small assets from month May, 2011.
Could someone help me with the correct process to be followed.
One option I am thing about is u2013
1)     Scrap the asset X (40 posting key will be posted to u2018asset disposal accountu2019 (P&L Account))
2)     Make co code status to u20182u2019 and make changes to take over date.
3)     Create new assets (in AS91) for all small assets with their useful life (Say for asset 1 u2013 I will keep total useful life as 10 yrs and remaining useful life as 2 yrs
4)     In takeover values in AS91 u2013 I will put APC as 300 and Acc Dep as 200 for asset 1.
5)     Make an entry through OASV for total APC, Acc Dep and remaining value to u2018asset disposal accountu2019 (P&L Account u2013 which is posted in point 1)
6)     Put the co code back to active status u20180u2019.
My Questions u2013
1)     Can I follow above method or is there any other easy way?
2)     What should be the takeover date? Is it 31.12.2010?
3)     Should I change the takeover date back to 31.12.2009 after my transactions are complete or can I leave it as 31.12.2010? Its affects.
4)     In OASV can I make posting to u2018asset disposal accountu2019 which is a P&L account? (System might ask for cost center which I thought I can provide it in OKB9).
5)     Will the above process effect my current assets in SAP? I mean I do not want to spoil the current set up in system.
Thanks in advance for the patient reading and providing solution.
Regards,
Kumar

Hi Kumar,
You Specify the transfer date for the asset data transfer. This date derermineds the status of posting to be used for the transfer. Posting up to this date will be included in the transfer. This specification also determines whether you want to perform the transfer during fiscal year ( with transfer of posted transcation/depreciation in the current fiscal year) or at the end of the fiscal year (with out transctions).
If the trasfer date is not the last day if the fiscal year ( according to the fiscal year variant FI), the system interprets this as transfer during the fiscal year. The system cannot transfer any historical transactions. It can only transfer cumulative values from the end of the last fiscal year, and the transctions in the current fiscal year (This is only possible for the transfer during the fiscal year).
Ex....
Transfer date - December 31, 2009
Last Closed fiscal year 2009
Specify the take over date as 31.12.2009. If the company gone live with SAP on 01.01.2010.
I hope above note will clear your doubt.

Asset Transfer posting ABT1N

system gives error message" You cannot post to asset in company code 'abcd' fiscal year 2011.
After that
I changed the Document, posting, asset value date -> this will be the same date 20.11.2011, system gives error message "

Asset Transfer

Hi All,
We are Using T code ABUMN to transferring of existing asset and creating as new asset within company code to change of Cost center, but the existing asset has no value. The system issue below error message when posting,
Retirement/transfer on asset XXXXX 0 takes place with no values
Message no. AA396
I couldn’t find any solution for existing no value asset transfer. Please suggest the ways to solve.
Note: As best practice, we have grayed out cost center once asset master is created. So we cannot change directly in master.

HI Abu,
Since we want to transfer the asset from one business area to other business area, we have to remove the asset from business area where transfer happen and we have to show that asset in the history of receiver business area. So we cant transfer the asset with same number within the business area.
There is one tab called Time-dependent data in master data there you can set the time intervals for Asset.It's mainly designed for your requirement like.
When asset moved from one place to another place or another location you can set the time interval for that..
For example:
A asset belongs to ABC businessarea from 01/01/2008 to 30/06/2008
When asset moved to DEF business area you have to set interval for 01/07/2008 to 31/12/9999
Then that asset will be read undet DEF business area.
Hope it'll clear your requirement.
Thanks,
Puja

Asset transfer no revenue error

I try to transfer one asset from one company code to another company code, abt1n, my posting date is May.26.2011
which date I should put in the asset value date column?what's the difference between if I put May.31.2011 and June.30.2011
in terms of depreciation calculation and NBV?
I hit the error when I try to transfer exsiting asset to a new asset in another company code, the error says:
Data inconsistency: No revenue entered
Message no. AAPO118
Diagnosis
1. You tried to post a retirement to asset . You entered transaction type 0002, in which the 'retirement with revenue' indicator is set.
2. You tried to transfer asset . You entered transfer variant 0002, which uses a transaction type for 'retirement with revenue' in at least one depreciation area.
In both cases, you are required to enter the revenue.
Procedure
There are three options:
Enter the revenue.
Enter a depreciation area, from which the net book value is to be used as the revenue.
Check the the transfer variant.
but why we need to put revenue? if my original asset NBV is 200, acquisition value is 500, what is the figure I should put for revenue?
How to identify the asset with previous year acquisition and current year acquisition? any table or system report to show this?

any idea?

Asset transfer error

we use abt1n to transfer asset, old asset apc value is 24425.64 USD, ordinary depreciation is 6106.4, change column is 814.19-,
net book value is 18319.24,(fiscal year start), 17505.05(posted value).
abt1n we choose gross meth. and we use NBV from area to transfer
new asset in another comp code capitalization date 2011.5.31, apc value is 2425.64, same, but nbv is 16690.86, with value adjustment 7734.78-, why nbv is not 17505.05? where did 7734 value adjustment come from?
in net method, we hit error:, how to resolve?
Posting with trans.type 157 not possible (No acquisition posted)
Message no. AA324
Diagnosis
Transaction type 157 belongs to a transaction type group, which can only be used to post to assets to which posting has already been performed. However, no postings have been made to this asset.
Procedure
Use a transaction type from a transaction type group, which can be used for the first acquisition to an asset.

hi,
note is helpful, but I'am asking why NBV is not transfered to new asset?
secondary, how to reverse abt1 result, besides reverse accounting doc fb08, any other solution?
also previous peopleI define a transfer variant Z1 with retriement transaction type Z01, but I can't find it in Ao67or AO68, which tcode or spro path can I configure Z01?
in order to use inter-company asset transfer, besides transfer variant, what else needs to be configured?
