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.

Asset Acquisition with Asset Value Date earlier than GI post.date

Dear all,
I am curently using SAP ECC 6.0. We are not creating AuC assets but directly capitalizing assets from investment accounts.
If a material is issued with a date in March and i try to acquire it with asset value date from a previous period, for example in February, the system doesnt issue any message and lets me post the transaction. The accountants claim that this hadnt been possible in the earlier version of SAP 4.6 that we had been using and that the system had issued an error message - "Posting not possible (Value date earlier than capitalization date)"
The accounting logic is that you cant capitalize an asset with a date earlier than the date when it has been in use, i.e. in our case it`s the date the material has been issued from the warehouse.
Does someone know what logic does SAP follow in this case - and if i can set a validation control that will check and compare the two dates?
Any opinion would be appreciated

We are on ECC 5.0 and we do get that message, but it is a warning.

that said, you can setup a validation using GGB0 and asset accounting

Asset Transfer with two company codes

Hi
We have a requirement in which we need to transfer the asset from one company to another. However, there is VAT calulated on the transfer of asset from one company code to another. We need to create an invoice, calculate taxes and then transfer the asset.We do not have SD & MM Module and we cannot create one company as a customer or vendor
Regards
Sanil Bhandari

hi,
If the country is same for both the CCs, then you must have been assigned the same COD also to your CCs.
One thing i didnt understand is that, why this taxation is required while transfering an asset from one company code to another CC within the same country.
Because the COD will be maintained at country level.
And one more thing is that if both CCs were assingned to same company ID, then there would be no need of caluculating tax.
This asset transfer cannot be treated as a new asset purchase in the receiving company code, since it is just a internal transfer within a group company.
But still if you want to calculate tax, you have to manullay calculate the tax and need to post a JV.
Please correct if i am wrong....
Thanks,
Srinu

ABUMN- Assets transfer between assets class within company

hi
i am using the T. code ABUMN for Assets transfer between one class to other with thin the same cpmpany for the assets purchased during currenting year not posting give error message AA417, for old assets it is working.
pls help to solve this issue
thanks and regards

Hello all,
We are testing the transaction ABUMN in a system version ECC 6.0 with New G/L activated and, we have received an error message GLT2152 asking for an account determination...
We have custumized the characteristics for general ledgers activating Zero balance & Mandatory field's flags for Profit center and, just Zero balance for the Segment; additionally we created and customized the Zero-balance Clearing Account.
We also checked that all involved accounts were included in the "Classify G/L Accounts for Document Splitting" customizing icon and, that the document type generated by the asset transfer is included in the "Classify Document Types for Document Splitting" one...
I personally think that perphaps the system finds that each Asset has a different Cost center (linked to their own profit centers and segments) so it stops and wonders which one most be derived for the splitting document... The zero balance clearing account could be the solution but, I don't know why it is not working...
So, since there is not any SAP-Note nor info regarding this error message GLT2152, we appreciate any comment or guidance from you friends.
Thanks a lot in advance and, best regards,
Manuel

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.

Populate Depreciation areas to the assets created with no depreciation area

Hi,
We created few Assets under a particular asset class. But only after creating we realised that there were no depreciation areas in it. So I added the depreciation areas to this asset class and then run
AFBN to populate the newly created depreciation areas to the existing assets.But it is not working. Could you please help me to populate these depreciation areas to those existing assets. Is it possible or not?
Please note, the depreciation area tab is completely blank. When I try AFBN for Depr area 01 (Derived Depr area), the system throws a message "Define depreciation area correctly".
I also tried AFBN with "Leave values initial" indicator checked. But still no results.
Do any one of you know how to populate the depr areas to those assets? The User have already created 45-50 assets. If there is no solution, then the last resort is to delete these assets.
Thanks & Regards,
Vinod

Hi Vinod,
AFBN is a simple tool, which copies entries from a source area to a target area. If you have no areas at all defined in the asset master record, there is no source to be copied.
I would propose to delete these assets with AS06 if possible and start over in this asset class. As I understand your description you can not have any posting to such assets up to now.
Regards,
Markus

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.

Transfer assets from one asset class to another having different depreciation keys.

Hi Gurus,
     I am a noob in FICO, and I am facing a problem while transferring assets from one asset class to another.
Below is the scenario.
I created two assets 100000000000-0 under asset class 4690a and 200000000000-0 under asset class 4690b. And I am trying to transfer the
asset from class 4690b to 4690a by selecting the option ‘New Asset’ in the transaction ABUMN. While doing this, I am receiving an error message as below.
'Posting with trans. type 300 not possible (No acquisition posted).'
     Message No. AA324.
Diagnosis:
     Transaction type 300 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 transactio type group, which can be used for the first acquisition to an asset.
The error is related to the transaction type which I hadn’t explicitly created anywhere. But, when checked in transaction AO76, the transaction type 300 belongs to the transaction type group 30. In this group I am not able to find any solution related to the error.
Moreover, in some of the threads in SCN, I read that modifying the transaction type group might lead to something fatal.
Kindly help me in the below.
1. What exactly the error message is related with?
2. Is there any other method to transfer the asset to another class?
Please let me know if any further details are required regarding the scenario.

Hi ,
I understand that you want to transfer the old asset to new asset with different asset class with different depreciation keys and the old asset is not yet capitalized and does not have any Asset Values.
Assuming that since the First Asset is not yet capitalized, that seems to be that its just that ASset Master is created and no Asset Values appear in the Asset.(in other words no acquisition, capitalization, no dep. start etc.)..
Alternatively this asset can be advised to be blocked and flagged for deletion and create a new Asset in the new Asset Class and then capitalize the new asset by doing the acquisition according to the business process i.e. either via PO based process(GR) or Non PO based process.
The transfer of asset is required incase the old asset still have the values and you are transferring the old asset to new one with the left over values.
Also would request you to kindly share some screenshots of the AW01n of the old asset and screenshots of the AS03 to have more idea on it and provide a better solution to the same..
Warm Regards,
Vineet

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?

Viswa

ABT1N Intercompany Asset Transfer error: AA390   T type 230 not possible

Dear experts,
I am trying to post an intercompany asset transfer with trx code ABT1N but when simulating the error code
Transaction type 230 not possible (posting to affiliated company) appears. This is the explanation of the error:
Message no. AA390
Diagnosis
     For the current document, you specified either implicitly (via the
     customer/vendor), or explicitly (with a manual entry), that this posting
     is to an affiliated company. In this case, Asset Accounting requires you
     to use special transaction types. This enables the system to separately
     identify such transactions.
I do not understand the error because TType is "Retirement to affiliated company with revenue" so should be correct.
Does anybody know what could be wrong?
Cheers

Hi
Firstly, check out Note 209643.
Secondly, please read the long text of the error message again. The
transaction type must be set as "post to affiliated company". And
you must check back the followings :-
1. Please execcute function: SAP IMG -> FI -> asset accounting ->
    transaction -> specify default transaction type.
    You can find the default transaction type for "retirement from
    inter-company transfer" and "acquisition from inter-company
    transfer".
Then check in their definition whether they are relevant to
    affiliated company.
If they are NOT RELEVANT to affiliated company, you can
    substitute them with other transaction type Relevant to affiliated
    company.
2. Please check the definition of transfer variant. In the transfer
    variant, you have assigned the transaction type for both retirement
    and acqusition for relation type 1. Both transaction types should be
    set as "post to affiliated company" .
Please note that the abovementioned points must be checked because
the system logic will check the validity of the default value in
Point 1.
Then the transaction type in the point 2 will be used instead and
re-checked again.
Have you try to use 'No Reveune' in the specification for revenue?,
I think if it is afflicated companies, you are not allowed to use
revenue.
This error can also be produced because a wrong definition of the trans-
fer variants. Please have a look on note 327088 for further details.
Most of the issues on this matter were solved with this last Note.
Cheers, Blaz
