Creation of an Old Asset

Hi All,
Our Company had purchased some similar assets about two years back through direct purchase. But the company did not create any asset master record for those assets and even did not calculate the depreciation. But these assets are now under operation .
Now the company wants to bring those assets into the SAP system and provide the depreciation for last two years. But the last year had closed.
How do I treat this issue?
I request you to all, please provide your valuable opinion.
Thanks with regards,
Ran

Yes you can follow the steps suggested by Dominic.
You can also do the following -
Go to ABNAN, and from there you can create the Asset master.
So you can use this transaction for both posting the Value of the Asset and also creating a new asset.
Thanks

Error: "Depreciation start date required in old assets data (please enter)"

When , I use transaction AS91 , for an asset , with book depreciation key = 0000, the system shows this error:"Depreciation start date required in old assets data (please enter)",
somebody could help me with this please?

Check if the depreciation start date has got populated in the tab for depreciation areas in AS91.
Usually this gets populated based on capitalization/creation date.If not then try to enter this manually.
Thanks and regards

Add depreciation area to old assets (revaluation area)

Hi guys,
I've created a new depreciation area for setting revaluation of assets. This new dep area only contains revaluation of assets (we'll only have revaluation and depreciation of this revaluation in this new area), so I've configured it to manage only revaluation values. Acquisition values are not allowed.
In OABC i've put "00" in the area where this new area takes values from, due to i don't want thhis new area to copy acquisitions values from area 01.
I've made the rest of the configuration also, to support revaluation transactions (mov 800) in this new area. But, I've got 2 problems now:
1. The new area i configured is missing when creating a new asset in AS01. However, when using AS91 the new area shows up. Any idea of why this happens that way?
2. I cannot add the new area in old assets. When using AFBN a message appears: "Depreciation area 20, which you want to create as a new depreciation area in chart of depreciation PVPE, has no depreciation area defined for value takeover. This may be be correct for normal operation, however for the purposes of creating a new depreciation in the productive system, you have to enter a depreciation area whose values are used as base values for the new area."
Message makes sense, because my new area is not copying values from any area (in tcode OABC i defined 00 as dep area source). The question is.. is there any additional tcode where i can add the new depreciation area to old assets?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
there are the following steps:
1. Create Depreciation area via OADB.
2. Activate Depreciation area via OAYZ.
3. Automatic opening of new depreciation are via AFBN and program RAFABNEW :
   3.1 - Indicator: Leave values initial = not ticked.
           The system will copy all the past years values from
           depreciation area 01.
3.2 - Indicator: Leave values initial = ticked.
           Set this indicator if you want to open the newly created
           depreciation area without any values i.e. blank.
4. Recalculate depreciation via AFAR and program RAAFAR00.

Go live   during fiscal year   How to transfer old asset to system

my project will go live on 1 august 2007 (i run depreciation to July )
and i configure specify transfer date/last closed fiscal year = 31.07.2007
and specify last period posted in Prv. system (transfer during fiscal year) = fiscal year 2007 period 7
my problem are
1   I cannot upload old asset that capitalized on year 2007 (ex. 01.01.2007)
    my upload customized program tell message Field RALT_DYNP_STRUC-ANBTR02 (6) is not an input fiel
    i try to manually upload by use T-code as91 create asset that capitalized date on 01.01.2007
    SAP system provide asset code but i cannot post value of asset
2   old asset that capitalized date is before year 2007 (ex.20.10.2006) can be uploaded
but when i see posted value(in asset explorer) depreciation will posted only in period 8 there will not post depreciation on period 9,10,11,12
Please help me.

Hi,
For conversion the most easy way is to the last date of last fiscal year:
31-12-2006 and create the assets capitalized after 31-12-2007 with the normal transactions in SAP.
In period 7 you run an unplanned depreciation run up to period 7
I have seen in some versions you create the asset with AS91 and then change the values with AS92.
For 2 you have to look to your depreciation keys, it schould be working

Create old asset in SAP

Hi!
I have a old asset that I wan't to create in SAP.
I can't do it by transaction as91 because of this:
Closed fiscal year does not agree with legacy data transfer date
Message no. AC199
Diagnosis
The closed fiscal year 2007 does not agree with transfer date 30.06.2000.
If you wish to carry out a transfer within the fiscal year, the date of the legacy data transfer has to be in the year following the closed fiscal year.
Example: Transfer date July 1, 1993; closed fiscal year 1992
In any other cases the transfer date has to be the last day of the last closed fiscal year.
Example: Transfer date December 31, 1993; closed fiscal year 1993
Procedure
Correct your entry.
How can I do it?
Please help!!
Thanks in advance.
Regards.

Hi!
First, thank you for your answer.
Sorry, I think my explication was not very good because of my level of english.
I read this for NEW company codes and I did with the transaction as91.
But now I have one asset in one OLD company code. All assets were introduced in SAP in year 2000.
But there is one asset that was not introduced.
Now I can't use as91, or I should change the transfer date, and I'm not sure if this date can be changed or affects the rest of assets for this company code.
Thank you in advance.
Regards.

Delete old assets and related classes

Dear Experts,
We have a new support client. They want to revise their Asset Classes as at the time of implementation too many asset classes (around 70) had been created. Now they want to have limited asset classes as per the Schedule VI.
On the other threads the solution suggested by experts is to create the desired asset classes and create new assets (per old asset) and transfer the balances from old assets to new assets through T.Code ABUMN.
My doubt is:
1. How feasible is above solution when already 1 year's data exists in assets?
2. If this solution is to be worked out, can we delete the old assets and asset classes, AFTER transferring the balances to new assets.
Regards
Amar
Edited by: Z_Amarendra on Jun 10, 2009 8:30 AM

Thanks Paul,
- How feasible would it be to go with this option?
- Can the new asset classes and and the assets be immediately used after transferring the balances through ABUMN? Or need to wait till new fiscal year...?
Reply awaited

Creation of Multiple Similar Assets

Hi experts,
I need to ask if following is the best that can be done for splitting few assets of one class to another class or is a better solution exists for it Or is there any transaction/report that can create Multiple Similar Assets?
Currently, we have one asset class in which assets of two categories are created. We now need to split them to individual classes. For that we researched on how to transfer one category of multiple assets within a Company Code and found that there is a possibility of tranferring multiple assets through txn ABUMN.
The problem arises that we can only transfer asset to existing ones when the case is 'Multiple Assets Transfer', while we can create new Asset when the case is 'Single Asset Transfer'. WorkAround that we found is to first create Similar Assets in new Asset Class, record it and do it through LSMW for creation of assets in bulk.
Hope if anyone went through such situation and like to share his experience
Thanks for reading

Hi
I did not have such experience earlier but sure your workaround is perfect. Goahead. Transaction code ABUMN is mainly for such transfers and/or asset class adjustments

Clear old assets?

In Dreamweaver MX, I have deleted several old Templates. They
appeared to be gone from my site, but when I closed and reopened
Dreamweaver and clicked the Assets tab, they are back. I cannot
delete them again, because Dreamweaver can't find the files. They
are not listed in the Templates folder. Is there a way to clear
this list so that only the templates which current exist will be
listed?

"Recreate Site List" did the trick. Thanks!

New user to Oracle 11i who needs help on creation of new fixed asset class

Hi all,
I am new to my Company who is using Oracle 11i. And the Company has a new class of fixed asset and a GL code has been created. But there is no link between the Fixed Asset Manager and the GL code, i.e. depreciation is not linked, additions are not captured into "Cost register", no asset number was assigned in Oracle. Please help.
Thanks,
Simon

Hi.
No, Simon, it does not work that way.
First, be sure that the distribution line has the flag "Track as Asset" checked.
Second, the GL Account to be used on the distribution line must be the one defined, in the FA Asset Category, as the Asset Clearing Account.
In FA, navigate to /Setup/Asset System/Asset Categories. Following, query a Category. There you can see which account has been used as the Asset Clearing Account.
You can use as many Asset Clearing accounts as you which, but normally, all Categories share the same account.
Now reverse the distribution line and cretae a new one with the correct account. Post it, run the Mass Additions Process and you will see the that the addition was created.
Hope this helps.
