Tick the "DEACT" check box in depreciation area tab in asset master (AS02). This will deactivate depreciation posting to that perticular asset.

How can we block the asset class for company code

Hi Experts,
At what level we can define asset class and how can we block the asset class for particular company code in group company
Regards,
Harish

Dear Harish,
You can block the asset through OAOA at asset class level blocking at Asset Class level, and same you can block for creation at a chart of depreciation level from AM05.
And for additional acquisition you can block from AS05. I hope this will solve your issue. If you have doubts feel free to share.

Function Module for blocking, unblocking and deleting assets

Hi,
Are there function modules available for blocking,unblocking and deleting assets in SAP.
Can I user 'BAPI_FIXEDASSET_CHANGE' for the same?
Thanks in adavnce,
Laxman

Hey,
I tried by putting the values of company code,asset number,subnumber, transaction type as 'A' and passing the value of INLA-XSPEB as 'X' in FM ASSET_MASTERRECORD_MAINTENANCE to block the asset but it is not working. I am trying many other things. Can you suggest what are the mandatory fields that need to be passed for the asset to be blocked.
As there are lot of parameters in this FM, I am little confused. Is there a proper documentation available somewhere to understand the flow.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Block assets for depreciation run

Hi everyone,
Is there a way to put a hold on few assets in a company code from running depreciation, meaning I want the depreciation posting program (AFAB) to skip the selected assets (assets of my choice) for the current periods depreciation run? However, system should calculate depreciation for rest assets in that company. Please advice! Will surely award points for all your help
Thanks in advance,
Kumar

Hi Dominic,
I really appreciate your advice! But, is there anything else I can do to block the assets for depreciation other than checking the indicator Shut down? Because for the assets of my interest the field Shut down is suppressed in the screen layout rules. Please advice!
Thanks,
Kumar

Hi
As per your issue
Your getting error while posting any transaction level. On That time only system will through the error because the asset is block in the AS05 for acquisition posting. as per this block system will through error while posting any transaction data
So that is why your not getting error why while creating PO as well as while creating asset
So First go As05 and remove check box for acquisition posting. and ask your user to post the transaction data.
If you want see change for asset you can in the as03 in the environment change document asset
Than the problem will resolve
I hope it will helps you.
Thanks and Regards

Config of Group assets - Tax Depreciation Calculation : India

Dear Seniors,
can you please explain the configuration of the Group assets and how exactly the tax depreciation calculation in India happens for the individual assets with scheme of entries.
Thanks and Regards
Sathish

Hi,
In India, depreciation on assets for the purpose of computation of net income as per the Income Tax (IT) Act 1961 is calculated over a block of assets instead of individual assets as allowed under the Companies Act 1956. Asset acquisitions and retirements are managed over the block level. The IT Act prescribes certain rates of depreciation to be used under the Written down Value (WDV) method over these asset blocks to compute depreciation.
The following are the customization settings that may be followed in the R/3 system in order to manage your assets in the income tax depreciation area.
1. Copy the standard chart of depreciation 0IN as provided by SAP and create your own chart of depreciation.
2. Use the depreciation area 15 for the purpose of management of assets under the IT Act. Make it statistical in nature. (Reference Transaction Code: OADB). Do not check the box negative net book value.
3. Specify that the Income Tax depreciation area takes over the APC from the book but not make it identical (Reference Transaction Code: OABC).
4. Create an asset class for the purpose of income tax blocks. This asset class will be used to create only group assets. (Reference Transaction Code: OAOA)
5. Specify that the depreciation area for income tax can be managed only for group assets. (Reference Transaction Code: OAYM). This would mean that depreciation for this depreciation area would be computed only at group asset level.
6. Specify that the asset class defined in (b) above will be used for creating group assets only. (Reference Transaction Code: OAAX)
7. Two period control methods (IT and NL) have been defined in the system for determination of start or the end of depreciation calculation at the time of a fixed asset acquisition or retirement. You may use these period control methods while creating the depreciation keys for the purpose of IT depreciation.
Calendar assignments have been made for the above mentioned period control methods in order to reflect valuation requirements as per the Income Tax Act (Transaction Code: OAVH). You may create your own period control methods depending on the fiscal year variant you use. The period control methods supplied are based on the fiscal year variant V3.
8. Depreciation Keys: The following depreciation keys have been created in the system. They correspond to the income tax blocks that are prescribed under Indian tax laws. They are as below:
Depreciation Keys:
1. IN1 - Tax Depreciation - 5% -
I Hope it will give you some basic guidance.

As per your issue
1. Use shut down tick mark in the respective assets masters in AS02
2. Block respective assets masters for temporary purpose
3. And change the Depreciation keys to 0000
Once run the depreciation for October and replace all the settings.
I hope it will helps you.

Can asset be deleted after some transactions are posted and completely depr

Hi Gurus,
Can the asset be deleted if there is any transaction happened this year? The asset is depreciated in august completely. Now, I don't want that to reflect on my system. Please suggest me with some options. I have blocked the asset temporarily. Retirement of asset will serve the purpose?
Regards,
Ravindra

Dear,
Please note that to delete assets, those assets must be:
1. Never posted to
2. Must be deactivated.
A delete flag can only be set for deactivated assets that were retired
through a complete retirement or a complete transfer posting, or for new
assets that have not yet been posted to, BUT WERE NOT ENTERED AS OLD
ASSETS DURING THE ASSET DATA TRANSFER FROM A PREVIOUS SYSTEM. These new
assets can also be physically deleted.
If the assets were creatd via a transfer from a legacy system, they may still have values in tables even though you delete transactions
You may only delete an asset via AS06 if the asset does not have any
values.
If the asset has values then you may post a retirement to the asset
and archive the asset.
As per note 1818 says, archiving for Assets Master Data will work for
those assets that are already deactivated or for those assets do not
deactivated but which has never received postings!
hope this helps,
regards

Deletion of asset class

Hi
Can anyone advise how do I make use of program RACLSDEL for deletion of asset class?
One of the Requirements:
You must first mark the asset classes for deletion.
How do i mark the asset class for deletion? In transaction OAOA i can only block the asset class and not delete.
Kindly advise.
Thanks.

Hi Sui,
In addition to what has been said, make sure there is no <b>Asset Master</b> within the system using the Asset Class you intend to delete. Otherwise, deletion would not be possible.
I hope the above helps.
Do not forget to award the points please.

Jacob

Block Depreciation Posting

Hi All,
We are having the scenario that we need to bolck the depreciation posting for a group of assets. But these assets are in different asset class.
How do we stop posting depreciation for assets in different asset class?
I request you to all kindly provide your values.
Thanks with regards,
Ran

Dear Mr.Saravanan,
Thank you for your comments and the scenario is, if suppose I change to 0% in the depreciation key and I believe that it will affect the whole assets which are assigned this depreciation key.
We do not want to get affect all the assets in the asset classes.
We want only block certain assets in different asset class.
Please advise in this regarding.
Thanks with regards,

FI-AA: Assignment asset class to chart of depreciation

Hi all,
does anybody know whether it's possible to assign asset classes to a specific chart of depreciation (or let's say to delete this assignment)?
The background of the question is the following: Some asset classes should not be used in some company codes. All these company codes use the same chart of depreciation, so I thought there must be a possibility to delete the assignment of this asset class to this chart of depreciation. Unfortunately, I haven't found this setting in the IMG.
The SAP Message no. AC 012 tells for example, that there is an assignment "asset class to chart of depreciation". This is the message:
In order to be able to assign chart-of-depreciation-dependent data to asset class 120204, the following conditions have to be met. You have to have already
1. Defined at least two active charts of depreciation
2. Assigned asset class 120204 to more than one chart of depreciation
However, at the moment this asset class is only assigned to chart of depreciation 1.
As we have definitely more than one active chart of depreciation, there must be this assignment, but how can I change it?
I've seen that I can set a block for an asset class in a chart of depreciation in transaction OAYZ (ANKB-XSPEB / Indicator: Block asset class chart of depreciation-specifc). But I think that I will still see the asset class in the match code search (F4) when I set this indicator.
Does anybody know how I can delete an asset class form a chart of depreciation so that it won't be found via match code search? I've checked almost the whole FI-AA tree but haven't found a solution...
Thank you very much!
Regards,
Peter

Hi Eric,
thanks for your answer. As far as I can see, the option "chart of depreciation only" in transaction AM05 has the same effect than the parameter "chart of depreciation" in transaction OAYZ.
As I receive a transport request via transaction AM05, it seems that this changes the same customizing table.
Fortunately, all company codes in this chart of depreciation need the same settings, so a validation rule seems not to be necessary.
It's just strange that there is no possibility to edit the assignment asset class to chart of depreciation in customizing (I think the assignment to all asset classes in the system will be created automatically when I copy the chart of depreciation). I think the only possibility would be to edit the respective tables manually (what I definitely won't do).
Another strange thing I see in the system: There are 2 asset classes 120203 and 120204, which are both set up equally. When I try to block these in AM05, I'll receive the error message AA 111 for asset class 120204, while the asset class 120203 can be blocked without problems. When I use matchcode search F4, I can see 120203 while 120204 is not found.
Message AA111 is the following:
Chart of dep. 100 does not exist in class 120204 (Create chart of deprec.)
Diagnosis
Chart of depreciation 100 does not exist in class 120204.
Procedure
Create the chart of depreciation 100 for asset class 120204 using the transaction 'Create asset class' and the function 'Create chart of dep.'.
There is the assignment asset class to chart of depreciation.
When I check asset class 120204 in OAYZ (Determine Depreciation Areas in the Asset Class) I'll get the following message (I don't get this message when I check 120203):
Deprec. area 50 was changed and deactivated. Please check.
Message no. AC 631
Diagnosis
Depreciation area 50 was added to asset class 120204 because this depreciation area was newly created in Customizing.
System Response
The system adds the new depreciation area to the asset class, but its status is 'deactivated.'
Procedure
Check if this action by the system is correct. Maintain the depreciation areas in the asset class, and remove the 'deactivated' indicator there, if you choose.
For sure, depreciation area 50 was not newly created in customizing (as stated in the error message), as this depreciation are is in production for years! There must be another reason for this.
However, this says to me that the assignment asset class to chart of depreciation is created by SAP automatically and this can't be influenced.
Therefore I'll just block the asset class in the chart of depreciation with the disadvantage, that I'll see this asset class when I use the matchcode search F4 (e.g. in AS01). This seems to be the only solution.
Thanks again for your help (you got some points for that ;-).

Peter

Asset   Depreciation - In test Run Value got posted

Hi All ,
1. I did the test run in 'AFAB' . SAP throwed the error becasue of some problem in Cost Center.
2. So i fixed that bug and tried again .
3. But when i see the Asset Explorer for that asset '1234', Asset value of the Error Doc got posted in 'Test Run'. How can i able to reverse back that asset value which got posted.
I want to know, why it got posted eventhough i selected the " Test Run ".
I want to reverse back that posted value . (onlyError Doc got posted). Or I want to do the depreciation without this asset number '1234'. How can i block that asset number for not to perform the depreciation.
Kindly advice Pls.
Thanks.
Vivek.

Hi Vivek,
In my experience,
- If you selected "Test Run" then it should be not posted value. So I think there was an accident.
- You cannot reverse depreciation which has been posted.
- If depreciation for asset no : "1234" has been posted , let say in period 11, then when you repeat the depreciation for period 11, system will not post duplicate value. So here are what you have to do :
1. Run AFAB using parameter Reason for Posting Run = "REPEAT RUN". Please tick "TEST RUN"
2. Check wether asset "1234" will be posted again ( See in Column "Amount to be posted").
3. If you're okay with the result then execute AFAB again but now, untick the "TEST RUN".
Hope this helps.

Chart of depreciation is blocked in AuC class

While creating an internal order with a investment profile , I am getting the error " chart of depreciation is blocked in asset class"
Which settings needs to be changed to overcome this error?
Please advsie
regards,
Manohar

Hi Manohar,
i hope your error message might be Asset class is blocked in chart of depreciation, but it may not be " chart of depreciation is blocked in asset class".
In this case go to transaction OAPL and set the COD first.
Now go to transaction AM05 and unblock the asset class, which you might have blocked earlier.
Hope this will help.
Thanks,

Create subnumbers in a blocked class

Hello,
I have an asset class which cannot be used anymore that's why this has been blocked, but old assets in this class still exist. When somebody wants to create a subnumber for an asset from this class, it is not possible.
How can this subnumber be created in this blocked asset class? Or, how can I block the creation of a new asset in this class without blocking this class?
Thanks,
Best regards,
Sorin.

Hi,
According to me, this can be possible in the below way only.
Lets say
Your asset class is ABCD and the number range object assigned to it is EF.
In AS08, for your CC, for the EF number range object, the number range is 500001 to 599999.
You have already created assets in ABCD asset class till 501000.
So as per above example you go to AS08 and enter your CC, for your number range object EF change the end number to 501000. (This means you have used all the number range series in that asset class)
This will not allow anybody to create main asset masters in that asset class, and will allows only to create sub asset masters only without blocking the asset class in OAOA.
So when you try to create asset with AS01, system will throw an error saying that All asset numbers in number range EF have been assigned
And still you can create sub assets with AS11.
This will solve your purpose.
Thanks,
Srinu
