Asset write-ups

Hi,
I've posted the asset legacy balance via F-02 without accumulated value. Now I'm trying to post the accumulated value on August 2007 via ABZU but the system prompt an error message "You cannot post write-ups".
Is there any configuration that I need to set-up first before I can execute tcode ABZU?
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi ,
You need to ensure that the Transaction Type 700 is not checked for no manual use & also you need to limit Transaction types to dep areas.
Go to Tcodes AO78 then OAXE.
It should resolve your issue.
Please reward points as a way saying thanks....
Have fun

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

How to write-ups in Asset accounting?

Let me give a senario first:
asset APC : 10000 $
capitalized and APC date: 2000/01/01 (YYYY/MM/DD)
old depreciation method: straight-line, 10% rate, useful life is 10 years.
Now suppose the time is 2002/01/01, company changes the asset useful life to 5 years, in the aim of completely depreciate the asset 3 years later, the problem is the net value of that asset is 8000 $ by the old depreciation method.
new depreciation method: straight-line, 20% rate, useful life is 5 years.
To make the new method possible, the net value of that asset should be 6000 $ now, which means I need to manually post the 2000 $( 8000-6000) as write-ups. I define a new depreciation area and a new transaction type( write-up for new method) in the system, but when I execute T-code ABZU, two messages pop up, one is that " you can not post write-ups " , another is " Contact your administrator (table error) ", detail information below:
1.You cannot post write-ups
Message no. AA402
Diagnosis
None of the areas to be posted in accordance with the transaction type entered manages one of the depreciation types entered or cumulative values.
Procedure
Check the transaction type.

2
Contact your system administrator (table error)
Message no. AA380
Diagnosis
Inconsistency between the specifications for transaction type 700 and for the depreciation areas in chart of depreciation SHDE.
Depreciation area 32 is defined (in Customizing), so that it is required to take over values from area 01. However, one of these ares cannot be posted to, due to the specifications in transaction type 700. This combination is not allowed.
Procedure
In Asset Customizing, maintain the specifications in transaction type 700 for the depreciation areas that can be posted using this transaction.
I want to know whether using write-ups to deal with this business senario is right or not ? And if it's the right way , how to solve the aforementioned problems and make it happen?
Thanks in advance and points will be awarded to those who give the leads.

Problem with posting write-ups in ABZU

Hello,
May I ask for your help on my concern about transaction ABZU? My asset was capitalized on 31.03.2009 and it has depreciated until last month. I would like to delete this asset because it should not have been recognized as ana sset, so my first procedure would be to derecognize the depreciated that was posted.
If I use transaction ABZU and use transaction type 700, I encounter an error that says "You cannot post write-ups". The long text explains that "None of the areas to be posted in accordance with the transaction type entered manages one of the depreciation types entered or cumulative values.".
If I use transaction type 710, I encounter the same error, but the long text says " According to the transaction type, you have to post to area 01. However, in this area, there is either no accumulated depreciation or the write-up depreciation type(s) are not managed in this area.".
I checked transaction OABU, and I could see that the depreciations areas allow unplanned depreciations. I cehcked the asset reports and the asset explorer and I can see that it contains accumulated depreciation.
What could be the reason for the error? Could it be some some settings in other customizing transaction other than OABU?
Thanks in advance for your advice.
Regards,
Peter

Hi peter
In the previous post you have mentioned that Depreciation is being Run from March - June.
iey i said 4 months.
Pass a JV means you post a document Crediting this Asset and Debitting any AUC(or any Expense G/L Account) for the Acquisition Amount.
After that you go and check in AW01N -->Asset Explorer, system will write the the Adjustment entries in all the periods of the useful life.
you then reduce the useful life for 5 months,then you will see the Total of the Depreciation posted for 4 months(it will be positive amount).
why 5months is 4months already Depreciation posted and 1month for running the Adjustment Amount(which is positive so that G/L Account Balances will also be adjusted).
You first try this scenario in test environment, you will be able to know clearly.
Hope you understand.

Venkat

Asset Write Up Book Value

Hi,
We need to write up an asset , but the book value of the asset and not the depreciations. Looking in the ABZU it seems that all the transaction type, are connected with depreciations write-up.
Using any transaction type, it seems that the depreciation is the only value we can write up.
Is there any transaction with which i I can write-up on an asset (e.g.) a book value of 200 USD and then start depreciations on this value?
Can anyone suggest me how we can achieve this.
Thanks,
Srikanth.

Shrikanth
You cannot do write-ups for assets alone.
You will have to create a new Z report / tcode form the ABAPers for the same. Such a function dsnt exist in the standard system.

You cannot post write-ups

Guru's
we are getting this error message while posting the write up for a asset which has Accumulated depreciation for the pervious year as well as normal planned depreciation in the current year.
You cannot post write-ups
Message no. AA400
Diagnosis
According to the transaction type, you have to post to area 01. However, in this area, there is either no accumulated depreciation or the write-up depreciation type(s) are not managed in this area.
Procedure
Check the transaction type.
who can i post the write up for the assets with out this error??? is this error should be interpreted as, due to no accumulated depreciation or write up depreciation is not in the particular asset for current year or previous year???
kindly help me in this regards. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Write-ups are used for correction of depreciation values calculated in
the past (closed fiscal years). It is not possible to post write-ups to
assets that have been acquired within the current year. If you attempt
this, you will receive error AA402. Please review the R/3 Library
documentation for further information. The documentation describes the
procedure for write-ups as well as the two situations where write-ups
can be used.
A write-up is generally understood to be a later change to the valuation
of an asset. This change can take different forms, depending on the
reasons for the change. A write up can only be posted, if there are
accumulated values on an asset, it means the posting of a write up
corrects the depreciation from the past.
For example - The value adjustments (depreciation) that you calculated
in the past were too high. You must now correct this error using a
write-up in the current fiscal year. You can only post a write up, if an
asset has accumulated values.
But again the write-up functionality is designed to change prior year
asset not current year acquired ones.
If manual changes are necessary it may be possible for you to use
transactions ABMA - Manual depreciation or ABAA - Unplanned depreciation
to correct the depreciation amount.
Open the new fisical year and do the write-up from the previous fisical year

Cannot post write-ups

Hi all,
Please help me with this error
AA400
Diagnosis: According to the transaction type you have to post to area 01. However in this area, there is no accumulted depreciation or the write-up depreciation type(s) are not managed in this area.
i have tried to look into existing config and the depreciation area allows unplanned and revaluation with all the accounts maintained.
I just would like to confirm if write up or decrease depreciation to date is allowed only if the asset has an accumulated depreciation value at the start of the fiscal year ony.
Fiscal year is 2008 and asset aquisition date is 2008. Posting write ups is not allowed if i use a value date that is 2008. However, if i enter a different value date which is 2009, writeup can be allowed already.
I just want to make sure that i have the correct understanding.
Please help me. I have a severity 1 issue and need to complete this very soon.
Thanks,
Ritchie

One of the prerequisite for Writeup is that it can only be created for accumulated depreciation (that is, depreciation from previous years).

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

Park Asset Write Off Posting

Dear SAP Gurus,
Can anyone help me with one of the Asset scenarios, whereby the user wants to have the option to park the asset write off first before making the actual posting. I can't seems to find any function available for this. If not, can anyone suggest if there's other way to resolve this.
Thank you very much. Your advice is much appreciated.

Asset Write-Up

Hello -
My client is trying to add $20,000 to an asset that they capitalized last year.   We will just add the 20,000 as of 01/01/2008.
When I try to do the write-up (tcode abzu) using transaction type 700, I get an error saying that there is an inconsistency between my company's depreciation areas and transaction type 700.
If i look at my deprecition areas for my chart of depreciatioin, i see we are using several of them. What needs to be configured so this transaction can be allowed?
Thanks for your time!

Hi Vinod -
Thanks for your help and sorry for the delay. Its Christmas in the US right now ... not sure where you are ....

Fixed asset Write up Error. ABZU(Parallel depreciation area 32 is not poste

Hi Sap Gurus,
      I am running into an error when trying to post a write up via "ABZU". Here is the error message "Parallel depreciation area 32 is not posted". Message no. AA565.
Diagnosis
The asset to be posted does not manage parallel depreciation area 32, or transaction type that you are using is limited to certain depreciation areas, and does not contain depreciation area 32. This is incorrect.
System Response
Posting is rejected.
Procedure
Check the asset and the transaction type.
I tried "Limit Transaction Types to Depreciation Areas" in t-code:OAXE for derpeciation area 01 and 32 but still i am getting the same error. I am using ttype:700. When i look into derpeciation tab in asset master record i have depreciation area 32 is there. Is there any configuration piece i am missing. We are using area 32 as IFRS in group which is copy of 01.
Any help will be appreciate.
Thanks and Regards,
Babu

Hi,
There are the following reasons:
1) The wrong transaction type is being used. Please verify that you are using transaction type in the 700 series for your write-up.
2) The transaction type is restricted to certain depreciation areas.   In transaction OAXE the transaction type can be restricted to post only to certain areas. If the asset manages a parallel area you have to extend the posting to include the parallel area.
3) The asset was created before you introduced parallel currencies and does not manage the parallel area. In this case, the parallel area must be created on the asset or the values need to be transferred to a new asset that manages the parallel area.
4) Transacion types 600 and 601 can only be used for assets that have a calculation key in their depreciation area that allows no automatic calculation (for example depr key MANU). The unplanned transaction types however can be used with assets that allow automatic calculation.
You also need to verify that there are entries in Table ANLB for the asset in question for the depreciation area.
5) Your company code uses parallel currencies (currency types 10-co.code currency, 50-Index based currency, 30-Group currency...for example). The assets created in this company code must have the depreciation areas for parallel currencies active. You can only do this in activating the depreciation areas with parallel currencies for all the asset classes used in this company code.
Check transaction OAYZ to make sure the areas are activated for all asset classes in the co.code. If not, you will need to       activate these areas and ensure the asset has all areas assigned.
regards Bernhard
