Asset useful lives after transfer

Question

asset A is purchased at 2008. June, using sum of didgits depreciation, start depreciation from 2008. July, useful life five years 2008-2013
in Oct.2009, we transfer asset A  to asset B, in asset B asset master, we set depreciation start day is 2008.July, useful life is five years, but asset depreciation can only be posted from Nov.2009, the dpreciation from 2008 July to Oct.2009 is sumed as value adjustment column in asset explorer.
now the problem is in asset B depreciation expense in year 2013, the old asset A if without transfering to asset B, it should finish at year 2013, total 2013 depreciation expense is 3000, but now asset B planned depreciation in year 2013  is 2200, the rest 800 is in year 2014(since useful life is five years 2009-2014), so the depreciation of asset B in year 2013 is wrong, how to solve this problem, so asset B 's depreciation in year 2013 is 3000?

Answer 1

Hi,
All transfer of assets in SAP is dependent on the transfer variant.   There will be a default transfer variant and if you have some specific business requirement, one can have transfer variant of their own.
This transfer variant is based on the transaction types.   When you check the transfer variant configuration, transaction types will be maintained in the variant.   Please check on the transaction types on the variant and modify according to your requirements.   Transfer based on gross or net, transfer adopting the depreciation start date and many more settings can be made in the transaction types.
Please check on those lines and see it suits your requirements.
Best regards,
