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).

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

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.

Hi,
if it is a newly capitalized asset in the current year change your depreciation settings accordingly. You can only post a write-up if the asset has cumulative depreciation at fiscal year start.

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.

To post write up in the current fiscal year

Hi,
I am trying to post write up in the current fiscal. However, the system is not allowed to post me. I know that the write-up needs to be posted from the next fiscal year. However, due to the requirement, we need to post in this current and switch off the message. I have already switched off the message in OBA5, but still, I cannot proceed to post with write-up in the current year. Is there a way that I can post this.
The following are the error details.
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.
Regards,
Ravi

Hi Ravi,
A write up can only be carried out if you have cumulated depreciation   values (from previous years). In the current fiscal year depreciation should be posted the 'normal' way. Write ups mean that too much depreciation was posted in a previous year and that you will correct this in the current year. Therefore, the system does not allow posting write ups if there exist no cumulative depreciation values from   previous year. In other words you cannot perform a write up for an asset in the year of acquisition.
Also make sure that the depreciation area(s) is defined as such to manage cumulative depreciation type or write-up depreciation type. This should eliminate the error 'AA400'.
Following is the menu path to take:
CU: FI-AA
     -> Transactions
     - > Define Transaction Types for
         - > post-capitalization (trans. AO77 and OAXD)
          -> manual depreciation (trans. AO78 and OAXE)
For both,- select your Chart of Depr.
         - >select your Transaction Type
         -> select Depr. Area Specs.

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

Cannot post a reply

For whatever reason, although I am logged-in to Adobe Forums, I cannot post a reply to a message that was posted in reply to my original message (which began the discussion). A blank white space, barely discernible, is displayed below the two lines with their respective radion buttons for "Yes my question was answered." and "No, my question was not answered." The choice is "No", but I did not ask any question(s) to begin with.
Instead, I posted three screenshots which showed problems that I encountered while attempting to download and install the most recent update to Adobe Reader for Firefox. Someone posted a reply that the same problem occurs with Opera. I wanted to tell him that Firefox, Safari and Opera all use the same add-on for Adobe Reader.
But there was no way that I could discover to enter any text into the field for it. Javascript was enabled, or I would not have been able to use the Reply feature to access the screen on which the message was to be composed. The field never contained a cursor, regardless of my attempts to cause one to appear, whether with the mouse or with the keyboard. Please understand that I do NOT have any desire whatsoever to go to Jive Software, open an "account" with them, and attempt to engage in some problem-solving for their software. I am not a beta-tester!!   My name and other data about me is in far too many databases as it is. If you can't hire people whose product works, then DIY.
In fact, Adobe's use of subcontractors has become very alienating. When I attempted to update Adobe Reader on the evening of July 29, the process was a travesty. First, it was not clear whether the update in which the security vulnerablilities have been corrected was available, let alone installed. This is partly because your website maintainer(s) are too ignorant, or too lazy, to post the entire version number of the current Adobe Reader release. They just post "version 9.1" and omit anything after it. So they don't have to update the page until either of the two digits change. But it is the digits that follow "9.1." which disclose whether the version that I'm about to download (http://www.adobe.com/downloads) is the one that is already installed, or a version that is subsequent. Perhaps you are afraid that disclosing technical data that is actually useful will intimidate and alienate the artists and writers who are the primary users of your products (you're lucky that they aren't all running the Apple MacIntosh instead). But I doubt that will happen. It is the failure to disclose such data that will eventually alienate EVERYONE.
For what it is worth to you, I have posted the message text below at the following link:
http://techrepublic.com.com/5208-12846-0.html?forumID=102&threadID=314113&messageID=313100 9&alertspromo=100901&tag=nl.rCOMBINED
What makes a difference is
http://www.get.adobe.com instead of http://www.adobe.com/downloads.
{Update 2009-08-01: when I tried the first link with Firefox 3.5.1 today, Embarq, my ISP, displayed what used to be an HTTP 404 (?) error message but now is an Embarq website page that leaves you wondering why you are looking at it instead of what you wanted. I don't know what has happened to the first URL, but that was what Securnia PSI used during its downloads of the updates, as described below.}
I have used the second one for years, but now it has nothing but problems. Thanks for the link to the IE 8 download. What I did this evening was to first run Windows Update (with IE 7).
The MS update site offered: (A) upgrade to I.E. 8, (B) cumulative security update for I.E. 7 KB972260, and (C) Silverlight update to ver. 3.0.40723.0 KB970363. The one for Silverlight surprised me; it wasn't there on Tuesday 14 July. After all of them were installed, I ran I.E. 8 just to go through its initial configuration routine, so that it should not interfere with subsequently updating any add-ons.
Then I ran Secunia PSI and had it do a new scan. It reported updates: (A) for Adobe Air; (B) Adobe Flash Player (ActiveX) to 10.0.32.18; (C) Adobe Flash Player (General Plug-In) to 10.0.32.18; and (D) Shockwave Player 11.5.1.601. I used the Secunia "Download Solution" feature for each one; it obtained the respective updates from http://www.get.adobe.com. Secunia continued reporting the Flash Player version as 10.2.22.87 until I deleted Flash10b.ocx from the C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash directory; the current one is Flash10c.ocx.
Curiously, Secunia did not report Adobe Reader as insecure or outdated, on my computer. AcroRd32.exe Properties > Version showed Version: 9.1.0.163 but also displayed File Version and Product Version as 9.1.0.2009022700. Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs reported the Adobe Reader version as 9.1.2. Go figure.
However, updating Adobe Reader via http://www.adobe.com/downloads on July 29 required installing two Firefox add-ons: an extension for the Adobe Download Manager, and a plug-in "getPlus+ for Adobe 16236" (if my memory is correct). Of course, there were a couple of .exe files under the radar in C:\Program Files\NOS and some more in C:\Documents and Settings\...\Application Data\NOS. After all of that, I subsequently learned, from looking at the Secunia report for I.E. Secure Browsing, that "NOS Microsystems getPlus ActiveX Control 1.x" is "insecure, no solution".
Already I wasn't happy about having one of the NOS executables installed as a service, as though that is what the memory must contain after every system boot. And I didn't like Yet Another Firefox Extension just for the convenience of one particular software developer and/or their distributor. Firefox already loads slower than I like and adding YAFFX like that makes it even slower to load.
So I uninstalled Adobe Reader and all of its Additional Ware from NOS; I found files from both all over the HDD. I think that I deleted everything that I don't want or need although the I.E. NOS ActiveX control remains. I have never downloaded a .PDF, or looked at one, with I.E. and I don't plan to, so maybe I should just get rid of that one, too, if I can.
For the time being, at least, I'll be looking at .PDF files with Foxit. Of course, Adobe Flash Player and Shockwave Player remain installed, with Adobe AIR and Adobe Download Manager.
Posted: 07/31/2009 @ 09:32 PM (PDT)                  (edited 08/01/2009 @ 06:18 PM (PDT))
As of this writing, I do not have any Adobe or NOS add-ons (extension or plug-in) installed in Firefox, and I am planning to remove the insecure ActiveX Control that has been installed for Internet Explorer 8.
Continue to follow your current strategy, and you won't have the burdens of maintaining either Adobe Flash Player or Shockwave Player as well. I had Adobe Media Player installed, but I removed it since I've never found a reason to run it.

Hi, Kath H.,
I hope that you heeded the warnings. Adobe has, however, released updates in which the security flaws have been corrected. From my reading of posts on some (non-Adobe) forums, what everyone has a problem finding is where to download the updates and/or to install them directly online.
The customary location is: http://www.adobe.com/downloads.
You will find three "buttons" labeled "Get Adobe Reader", "Get Adobe AIR", "Get Adobe Flash Player" and one hyperlink for "Get Shockwave Player". You need to update the ones that are installed on your computer (usually, at least Flash Player and Shockwave Player). The website button will automatically present you with the version that is appropriate for the browser that you are running at the time that you access the download.
BTW, please be aware that what I found at the customary Adobe downloads website on July 31 for Adobe Reader and Firefox was a travesty. I don't know whether Adobe has taken corrective measures since, but their "instructions for Firefox users" were outdated and simply wrong. I had already updated Adobe Reader on July 29, but I was not sure that I had actually obtained the update, since some people were reporting that they had to do it twice before it was installed correctly.
Something that may interest you is Secunia Personal Software Inspector (PSI). It inventories all of the software on your computer, and compares (via the Internet) each version that it finds to the Secunia database to check whether it is up-to-date, or it might be known to contain security flaws. An individual user can download, install and use Secunia PSI without charge (commercial use requires a license). You can obtain it from:
http://secunia.com/vulnerability_scanning/personal/
One feature is that, after Secunia PSI runs a "scan" of your software, it displays any "insecure" programs on a tab labeled "Insecure". Each entry has a [+] box which is expandable into an explanation, and a toolbar at the bottom with several actions that you can take, the first being "Download Solution" (when the software developer or publisher has a software update available). That is what I used to update the "insecure" Adobe Flash Player and Shockwave Player add-ons for Firefox (and for I.E., also, which I have installed but don't run often). Secunia PSI downloaded them from https://www.get.adobe.com but I haven't been able to connect there with the browser.
Since Secunia PSI did not report Adobe Reader as insecure, I have supposed that it was updated. (You can scan my first post here to find out why I uninstalled it and installed Foxit instead!)

Hi,
You cannot directly include settlement rule for AUC. This is automatically included after settling.
1. Create an Internal Order through KO01 and from that Extras --> Create AUC.
2. Then you post expenses to AUC.
3. You settle the IO through KO88. When you settle the internal order automatically it would be settled to AUC which is in IO.
4. Check the IO you can see the settlement rule with AUC line item
5. Now select FXA rule and select the final asset.
This is will solve your problem and this is the procedure.
