Fix Asset - Write Downs Impairment

FA Experts,
Our company is in the process to book an impairment amount to some of our manufacturing assets. Since this is a procedure rarely use I am not too familiar with the configuration process. We have SAP 7.0 does anyone have any information as to where I can find information as the best SAP practice for Impairment? or can anyone point me to the right direction? I have done some research in the SDN but I am not finding detail information that can help me enough as to what to watch out for and how to configure it, reports available etc.
Your help will be greatly appreciated

Here are the steps I took for impairment, basically SAP does not provide an impairment procedure as there are many ways of doing it. We did a REVALUATION of fix assets using tcode ABAW.
Here are the steps you need to configure:
1) FI     SPRO     IMG > Financial Accounting > Asset Accounting > Integration with General Ledger > Post APC Values Periodically to General Ledger > Specify Document Type for Periodic Posting of Asset Values
2) FI     AFAMP     IMG > Financial Accounting > Asset Accounting > Depreciation > Valuation Methods > Depreciation Key > Calculation Methods > Maintain Period Control Methods
3) FI     AFAMS     IMG > Financial Accounting > Asset Accounting > Depreciation > Valuation Methods > Depreciation Key > Calculation Methods > Define Multi-Level Methods
4) FI     AFAMA     IMG > Financial Accounting > Asset Accounting > Depreciation > Valuation Methods > Depreciation Key > Maintain Depreciation Key
5) FI     AO90     IMG > Financial Accounting > Asset Accounting > Integration with General Ledger > Assign GL accounts
6) FI     OABW     IMG > Financial Accounting > Asset Accounting > Special Valuation > Revaluation of Fixed Assets > Revaluation for Balance Sheet > Determine Depreciation Areas
7) FI     OAYR     IMG > Financial Accounting > Asset Accounting > Organizational Structures > Specify Intervals and Posting Rules

Best way to recreate all live assets in SAP and scrap current assets

We have a situation where we have to recreate all (15000) our assets as new assets. We will have to create new assets, provide new acquisition value and new useful life and start depreciating them from scratch. Also we will have to dispose all the current assets.
What is the best way to accomplish this:-
1) I was thinking to write a BDC program for AS01 transaction to create new assets and in the text field, give a reference to old assets.
For Balances transfer, use transaction FB01 or F-91.
*2) Use BDC to map transaction AS91 and add in value there. Although this is not transferring from legacy data but only in SAP. Will these current assets be considered as legacy data. Is this transaction feasible to use.*
Also, what transaction can I use for mass asset data scrapping of current assets
Thanks,
Tanya

Tanya,
You can do a mass retirement of assets. Please check out this link.

Asset Shut down Process

Hi
Can anyone explain the Asset Shut down process in SAP? The business requirement is to stop depreciatin depreciation for a time period if the asset relates to product specific machine and is currently not in use. Start depreciating the Asset again when it is put to use
I checked the Asset Shut down process (checkbox in Asset master) and changing Dep key to 0000. System does not calculate depreciation for the time interval i give in shut down period but once i uncheck the box and change dep key, system posts depreciation for the current period as well as for the period it was shut down
Is there a way to avoid depreciation posting for the period it is shut down? Am i missing something here or the correct process will be to to do an asset transfer to a non-depreciable asset class for shut down period and then again bring it back to original asset class
Please advice
Shiv

Hi PAul
Thanks for the response. I did check Asset Shutdown checkbox on the time dependent tab and in addition changed the depreciation key. With this setting system do not calculate depreciation when i run AFAB. The moment i uncheck this box, system posts depreciation even for the shut down period. Is there a way to avoid depreciation for the period when it was shut down even after unchecking the Asset shut down check box
Thanks
Shiv

Assets Write-Ups ABZU

Hi,
I want to post assets write up with $ 5000 and want this to affect the NBV. What is happening is that some of the amount get caught into ordinary depreciation so ultimate impact is just $ 4000.00.
This way my depreciation for the year is increased and my NBV is falling short by $ 1000.00.
I tried using different Dep key but they make things more complex due to recalcuation.
Please suggest how to avoid assets write posted from getting depreciated in that year or month?
Best Regards
Rajesh

Thanks George,
You have understood my requirement correctly, infact I would favour to post the write up on the last day of the last period of the fiscal year.
I want that NBV gets affected with the writeup year end (the day write is posted) while the depreciation is recalculated from the next fiscal year.
Does this allow affecting the NBV year end?
Regards
Rajesh

BAPI for ABZU - Asset Write UP

Hi
I need to post asset write up documents through ABZU tcode. Can any one help me out with the appropriate BAPI for the same.
BDC will not solve my problem as the set of screen changes as per the 'Transaction Type'.
Regards,
Sudip Kumar Das.

Write up is allowed only to the extent of accumulated depreciation from previous years. You can do write up "ABZU". however the accumulated depriciation balance has to carry forward from last fiscal year to current fiscal year and you can do writeup only upto the accumulated depr from the previous yr

Asset write off in the current fiscal year.

Hi Experts,
I want to write off an asset in next 4 periods of the current fiscal year 2007. For example:
Asset 11000
APC value: 10000
APC Date: 01.01.2005
The useful life will end in fiscal year 2008.
The book value left at the begining of the current fiscal year 2007 Rs. 4000.00
In the current fiscal year this asset has already been depreciated for previuos 3 periods.
Now Business wants to write off ( fully depreciated ) this asset in next 4 periods equally and then if the book value and tax value is nil, they want to scap the asset.
Now can you please tell me how to make this happened. Its very urgent. If you need any more information, most welcome.
Rgds,
BABA

Hi,
You would have to set the asset to manual depreciation(Depr.Key MANU)
and generate a posting via ABMA for each of the periods.
Kind regards

How can i shut down depreciation for an Asset for few days??

Hi Friends,
How can i shut down depreciation of a particular Asset for few days say 5 days??
I have done the necessary changes in Time dependent tab like checked asset shut down and in AFAMA i changed the shut dawn as YES.
The only problem i am in is "how can i maintain the 5 days like from 10.05.2009 to 14.05.2009
If i go to MORE INTERVALS then only From date is available over there.There is no To date opition.
How can i maintain To Date??
Plz suggest.
Regards,
Sumaya

Hi
Go for shut down approach. But your depreciation key should allow shut down. check your depreciation key configuration
In asset master data
Go to time dependent terms,
Define the appropriate time interval for shutdown
Set the shutdown indicator
The system does not calculate the depreciation for the shut down period,
The useful life of the asset will increase to the extent of shutdown period.
When you remove the shutdown indicator, system automatically resumes the depreciation calculation.

Down payment for Normal Assets

Dear Experts,
I have an issue on Down payment for Fixed Asset.
User created an Fixed Asset (Normal Asset) which is not a AUC Asset.Created a P.O and Assigned that Asset into the P.O. Now he want to post the downpayment request for the same through F-47. Now they are getting the below error.
You cannot use this transaction type to post to this asset
Message no. AA 834
Diagnosis
The transaction type entered belomgs to transaction type group 15. It has been specified for this transaction type group, that it is only allowed to post to asset classes for which it has been explicitly allowed (for example, the asset class for assets under construction). The asset to which you are posting belongs to class 46 (chart of depreciation XXX). You cannot post to this asset class using the transaction type entered.
Procedure
Check the asset number you entered. You may want to allow posting to this asset class using this transaction type group.
here i have the below doubts.
1. Can we assign the other than AUC Asset Class in OAYB for down payment (Group 15). but the system is showing the AUC Asset Classes only.
2. Can we assign GL Accounts for Down payment and down payment clearing accounts in AO85 other than AUC Asset Classes also? becasue if i check F1 help for those fields its saying only for AUC Asset Classes.
Kindly help me for how to do the down payment for Normal Assets.
regards,
Gopi.P

Hi,
I have a simple solution for you, which treats your down payments made to asset POs also same manner as down payments to normal POs.

Down payment in fixed asset

Hi,
I want to configure the recording of down payment on asset (F-48) where when down payment will be made asset will be debited and down payment on asset clearing account will be credited. I found out that there we need to do configuration in OAYB i.e. inclusion of asset class in transaction type group. Another configuration we need to do in AO85 or AO90 ie assigning of GL accounts in account determination. But still i am not able create line items for posting to asset and down payment clearing account. Entry is posted with Vendor account dr. and bank account cr. but additional line items that is asset account dr. to asset down payment clearing.
Is there anything i need to configure in addition to OAYB & AO90.
Thanks & Regards

Hi Ajay,
Thanks for your reply. In fact configuration was there down payment got recorded on asset and offsetting clearing account. Client posted invoice and while clearing special GL transaction wiht inovice system is not allowing it to clear with error of transaction type group. Because configuration relating to it was removed. I don't know the request number. So I am planning to restore configuration and clear the invoice and remove config. For this I have done config on OAYB and AO90 created PO - Project stock with asset catefory. created request with reference to PO and down payment. Entry for Vendor Dr and bank credit generated but asset dr and dwon payment on asset cr is not generated. Is i am missing anything. I need your help desparately.
One more point that is now the asset class in NO AUC. Shall I enter both GL accounts in account determination or provide only one gl account in account determination in down payment clearing account. Or check the asset class as AUC and provide both accounts in account determiantion.
Thanks

Down payment with PO (asset number brought from PO)

Hi experts,
The problem is that when we post down payment in F-48 with PO number, asset number and internal order numbers are brought from PO to FI as well.
However, the assets are not AUC. We actually do not need to trace down payment in asset side.
1) Do we have the option of not having effect to FI-AA?
2) For the IO, would the budget be affected?
Also, the system requires to give default cost element for down payment (OKEP).
3) What kinds of cost element are expected?
Thanks in advanced!

As I do not want down payment posted to asset as well, I changed the message to warning and asset number field hidden. No effect will be posted to AA then.

Asset No. of the scrapped asset not appearing in the GL Line item display

Hi Friends,
As a part of the year end process the users have written of some of the assets thru T Code "ABAVN" - Asset Scrapping without revenue. The losses arising were posted to the particular GL Account as was defined in the config. However, when viewing the GL line item display we are not able to see the Asset No. against each of the line representing the loss arising from the scrapping of the asset. We tried changing the layout but still the asset no. does not get populated in the Asset column. Would need the help of freinds as to how can we change the settings so that against line item in GL we are able to see the Asset No. as well.
Thanks!
Regards,

Haven't tried it before but perhaps you could try using asset no. sort keys in the 'retirement loss' gl account.
Think the asset no. appears only on the asset cost and acc.depreciation line items ie. offsetting accounts don't have such.

Asset Write-off in Advance..

Hi All,
Can anybody explain me about an asset write-off procedure before the End-of-Date of that asset value date.
For example Asset having the End-of-date as 31.12.2008. For this, we want to write-off this asset on 31.10.2007.
Thanks in Advance...

Hi Pal,
Thanks for your reply..
Here, we are having around 70 assets. For that we can do like this??
If we will do 100% dep. now itself, the remaining amount will post to the depreciation account na?? With this no problem??
Please reply me...
Thanks & Regards..

Error message while scrapping the asset ABAVN

Hi Gurus
We are trying to scrap an asset which has 0 value.
This was transfered from onother asset 5000084 15 years back with 0 value.
Now when we tried to scrap using Tcode: ANAVN following is the error message we are getting.
==================================================================================================
Partial retirement or transfer of prior-yr acquis. not possible
Message no. AA378
Diagnosis
You tried to post a retirement or transfer, based on quantity or percentage, to asset acquisitions from prior years on asset 5000084 0. However, the system could not find any values.
Procedure
Post the retirement using a transaction type for current-year acquisitions, if the asset has values at all. If the asset does not have any values, you can only post a complete retirement. You cannot post a transfer.
===================================================================================================
Now we dont have asset details of 5000084 as it is archived.
Let us know how to resolved this issue.
Thanks in advance
SAP only

Hello
Since Asset has zero value , I presume you are scrapping it or retiring it because you dont want it to appear in your asset register.
Simply deactivate the asset instead of scrapping it. You can also delete if the asset value is zero.
Let me know if this helps you
Thanks
Sanjeev
