Deactivate a depreciation Area

Hi Guys
I wan to deactivate a depreciation area. Depreciation area does not post but it is a real depreciation area.
Is there any risk to deactivate the depreciation area for the asset class in OAYZ ?
We do not want this depreciation area be activated any more.
Thanks

Hi
But I do not want to use this depreciation area any more for any other asset.
So I have several suggestion but I am confused:
- In OABN (this only manage ordinary depreciation)
- But I think the safety procedure is deactivating it in OAYZ.
I am wondering what are the steps to deactivate the depreciation area in a safetely way whitout impact.
The depreciation area itself did not post in GL , nevertherless it is it is a real depreciation area. (OADB).
Can anyone suguest all the steps , why I have to do it in OABN rather than in OAYZ.
I think that if I have to deactivate the depreciation area I have to do it in OAYZ (for asset class, then new assets won´t have this depreciation area available whereas old asset still show this depreciation area in AS03.

Deactivate a depreciation area (Real area but does not post)

Hi Guys
I want to deactivate a depreciation area.
It is a real depreciation area but area does not post in GL.
Is there any risk in deactivating the depreciation area in the asset class ? We do not want to use this area any more '
Thanks

Thanks Anil
But my question is
Should I only have to deactivate the depreciation area in the asset class OAYZ ? In this case new asset won´t see this depreciation area , but old asset still show this depreciation area in AS03. It seems no issue with this approach.
Someone has suggested me also to deactivate it in OABN (but this depreciation area did not post) If I untick ordinary depreciation field in OABN when I go to the asset I have an error message:
"You cannot manage ordinary depreciation in area 60
Message no. AA656
Diagnosis
According to Customizing settings, ordinary depreciation cannot be managed in area 60. The posting being processed changes ordinary depreciation.
Procedure
Check the amount entered and the transaction type."
So, what is the safety procedure just go to OAYZ (I think this is the right way) and unclick the field "deact" ?
"Indicator: Depreciation area is deactivated
Set this indicator if you want the depreciation area to be inactive in this asset class or asset (although it is defined in the chart of depreciation)."
Any other suggestion ?

New Depreciation Area - AFBN

Dear Experts,
My user has given a new scenario where we have to calculate tax depreciation for assets transferred from US books to SG books. When the transfers were executed, the tax depreciation area was not set up in the SG books' Chart of Depreciation. We do have other company codes assigned to the same chart of depreciation. For these other company codes, tax depreciation calculation is not required. In addition, the transferred assets and the assets in the other company codes share the same asset classes. The requirement is that we want to calculate the tax depreciation in the SG book only but not the other company codes.
Initially, we are looking at setting up the tax depreciation area in the SG book and activate the depreciation area via AFBN (program RAFABNEW). This will activate the tax depreciation area for all existing assets under the chart of depreciation/asset class assignment. However, we found out that we could not deactivate the depreciation area in the existing assets in the other company codes. This is regardless of whether we activate the field XAFBE (deactivate depreciation area) in the depreciation area layout. Seems that this only works with new assets.
Would like to seek your advice on the options available other than creating new asset classes for these transferred assets.
Is it possible to enhance the program RAFABNEW to include company code and asset classes?
Thank you.

This is another option that I used on that scenario, but it is up to you if you want to follow the same approach. We created a custom program that will put a temporary deactivation date on the assets the we do not want to extend the new book. Basically this is direct update on field ANLA-DEACTIV.
Then we run AFBN, since the assets are deactivated, new depreciation area will not be created on these assets, but only on those assets that are active.
Then you can set the deactivation date again back to "Blank" after you run AFBN.
Thanks!

Can anyone please tell us where to switch this function on?
Many thanks,

Normally you will delete the depreciation areas after copying from reference chart of depreciations. SPRO --> Financial Accounting --> Asset Accounting --> Organizational Structures --> Copy Reference Chart of Depreciation/Depreciation area --> copy/delete Depreciation Areas.
After creation also
If you doesn't want to use the deprecation areas you can deactivate at asset class level also.

Re activate depreciation area: AFBN/RAFABNEW

Hi Experts,
We are trying to re activate an old depreciation area. I came across a note explaing how AFBN can help re activate. But the job RAFABNEW runs for chart of depreciation. I want to know if this can be configured to run for one company code.
Thanks,
Sandeep

Hi Ramu,
You can define all possible depreciation areas for your asset and then you may activate it or deactivate it using the following path:
Financial Accounting >> Asset Accounting >> Valuation >> Determine Depreciation Areas in the Asset Class
Transaction Code
OAYZ
This can be done irrespective of whether the depreciation area is defined in the Chart of depreciation or not.
Detailed procedure is given in this link

How to bring back deactivated depreciation areas in AS92

We deactivated 6 depreciation areas in AS92 for 1 asset. How can we bring them back? Thanks!

OAYZ is to change activate/deactivate depreciation areas for the asset class. In AS92, I can deactivate depreciation area for a particular asset but how do I reactivate the depreciation area that I deactivated in AS92? THanks!

Activate a depreciation area

In OAYZ for an asset class I have a revaluation depreciation area deactivate (area 44).
Now I must insert with AS91 in a company with the same chart of depreciation new assets in this class but the user want to insert value in this area (area 44) actually deactivate.
If I activate this area there are problems with all the other assets of the other companies that are in this class?
Thank for the reply.
Best regards.
Roby

Hi Roby,
if the depreciation area 44 is active in OAYZ it is available if you create a asset via AS01 or AS91. Then you can deactivate it in AS01 or AS91. This can be done in the tab strip "Deprec. area". If the asset is saved there is no more possibility to activate the areas. So, when you create a asset you can decide if you want to have the area 44 in the asset or not. This has no impact on other assets. If you would deactivate the area in OAYZ it would have a impact on assets which you create up to now, but not on already created assets. If a asset is already created it is not that easy to implement a new area. (Then there would be a little bit complicate procedure with RAFABNEW).
Hope this clarify your question.
regards Bernhard

Post directly depreciation area to GL accounts

Good morning
I am trying to post directly depreciation area to GL accounts and for this, I set the fiscal depreciation area to 4.
But, the G/L accounts are empty (any entries, any message).
We use ECC6 version (NewLedger is deactivate) .
Many thanks for your help.
Alexandre

You won't be able to correct the matter in a straighforward fashion. Obviously, you will not be able to repeat the depreciation posting run for Dec.
What you can do is:
1. First in customizing change the GL accounts for depreciation to the correct one.
2. Then pass a JE from the incorrect to the correct accounts.
You can also see SAP note 82499 for more information on this topic.

Hide Depreciation Area

Hello,
The user requests that one of the depreciation area (Area 02: Tax depreciation on balance sheet values) will be masked.
There are changes that were made on that depreciation area 02 and he doesn't want them to be displayed.
When he open Transaction AW01N - Asset Explorer, he don't want that informations about Dep. Area 02 appears.
Thanks
Tarek

don't agree with Deactivation suggestion. I think you want users not to see the value in Dep Area 02 and not deactivate it. If you deactivate then system would not calculate any value.
My suggestion is ask your Basis Person to check in AW01N TCode if he has option for Data Element AFABE (Depreciation Area). If so then you can add Dep Area which you want users to see in this field and Basis then can create a role using this Data Element and assign to respective users.
Thanks,
Sanjay

How to delete depreciation areas when a posting is made in asset accounting

Hi All,
We are implementing asset accounting to few of our company codes as a new company code start up project. We have opened depreciation areas for tax for one company code and found that we are not going to use this company code for asset accounting.
We have already opened 2 depreciation areas one for tax and the other as difference between book and tax depr in our development client. One of our member has created an asset and posted values to it. Now, we were told that we dont need to open the depreciation areas. When i am trying to delete it system giving error message saying you cannot delete the derived depr as the values have already been posted.
Please advice how i should proceed with the above issue for deleting the depreciation areas. Your help is much appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Hi Rose,
For the below mentioned issue do the following:
1) reset all the depreciation data ( t code OAGL)
2) reset all the asset account co code data (t code OABL)
then u can go and delete the depreciation areas.

Kiran

Unable to assign the depreciation area to co. code

Hi,
I am getting the below message
Inconsistency between FI company code BHEL and chart of deprec. BHEL
Message no. AC481
Diagnosis
You tried to assign chart of depreciation BHEL to company code BHEL. According to its Customizing definition, this company code manages parallel currencies.
The chart of depreciation does not contain a corresponding depreciation area for each of the currency types that are defined in the company code.
System Response
This assignment is not possible.
Procedure
1. Check the currency types of the company code.
2. Specify a corresponding depreciation area for each currency type.
Please any one explain the way to resolve.
Thanks,
Rajesh.

Hello Rajesh,
Please search the asset accounting forum. A lot has been written on this very question already. I would have included a link but I have noticed that, sometimes when I answer a question, someone for some obvious reason deletes the question or subject to which I provided an answer.

Write up an asset for a depreciation area

Hi All,
We have 2 Depreciation areas 01 for local, 02 for IAS.
I try to write up as asset with t-code ABZU, but it only takes effect for area 01.
My problem is how to write up an asset which takes effect for area 02 only?
Thanks.
Claude

Hi - First determine the transaction type that you are using in ABZU. Eg you use transaction type 700.
Go to tcoe OAXE ( limit transactions per deprecation area) and select the area 02 for display for selection. You can select the always post option if this transaction type should always post for this depreciation area.
Thanks,
Zaid Azam

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.
