Dep area neg. value

we have one asset, group depreciation area is in USD, but our comp code currency is JPY, due to exchange rate fluctuation, the group depr. area now have negative value: -230 USD, but book dep. area is positive value, now we can't do any transaction against this asset because one of dep. area (grp dep. area) is negative, how to resolve this? thanks

Hi,
It is possible to maintain allvalues allowed in the tcodes : OADB and OABN. Here maintain the Allvalues allowed or negative values allowed in the Asset Accounting.
May i hope your problem was solved.

Newly activated Dep Areas-How values computed

Hi Gurus,
We have just activated a new Dep area 61.   This area 61 is a difference from 01 and 60 Areas.
We just noticed that the ordinary depreciation for area 61 started only for Period 4 amounting to 15.56.   Period 01 to 3 is not there. In Area 01, The dep amount was scattered to 3.89 and it seems that the 15.56 is the dep value for 4 periods (Pd 1 to 4 which is 3.89 x 4 = 15.56).
Is this the way it behave.?
Can i perform adjustment only for Area 61?

Hi Pankaj,
We activated Area 60 for Period 4. And Yes, this seems to be a catch-up menthod.   But the thing is.. user is complaining that they need to adjust value in Area 61.
Ex.
Area 01                          Area 60               Area 61 Derived Dep area (01 - 60)
Pd. 1     =     -3.89           none                   None
Pd. 2     =     -3.89           none                   None
Pd 3     =     -3.89           none                   None
Pd. 4     =     -3.89           -15.56                 -11.67
Pd. 5     =     -3.89           -3.89                   None
Pd. 6     =     -3.89           -3.89                    None
Now the question is... they are insisting that Area 61 needs to be adjusted and reflect zero due to audit purposes.
Area 61 is derived dep area coming from Area 01 and Area 60.    If i perform adjustment, this will not allow.
Please help.

Asset values updation in Eco. Dep area 50

Dear All,
I have created one asset for Good will as on 01.02.2010 (go live date 01.02.2010) by using AS91, and i updated APC cost and Acum Depreciation for Dep area 50 - Eco. Depreciation only.
Right now my client want to add some new values (because of wrong value updated at the time of take over values)
How can i do the additions for those assets. i have total 4 Dep. areas but this asset have only one dep. area 50 - Eco. Dep. , more over they run the Dep. for last year (FY - 1st Jan. to 31 Dec.) Please suggest me.
Regards
Radha

Dear Murali,

EX: Asset no. 10001
take over values 100000
actual value 250000
Right now i have to add 150000 in that asset

Information Message-Values for Ordinary deprec. have changed in dep. area 0

We had changed the scrap value for few assests and when ever we goto AW01N i.e asset explorer ,it displays the message -
Values for Ordinary deprec. have changed in dep. area 01 in fiscal year XXXX.
The user doesnt this message popping up every time we look at an asset now.

Hi,
start transaction AFAR for the company code as real run. That will recalculate all asset values and should solve the problem.
Alternative would be to go to AS02 and choose "edit -> recalculate values" from the system menu.

Asset Activation with different values in dep. areas via CJ88

Hi,
I would like to activate an asset via CJ88 from an AuC.
The challenge is that I would like to activate different values in different depreciaton areas.
I have seen that the AuC uses transaction types 338/339 for the transfer posting. In this transactions types it is possible to choose transactions types for the transer posting for the new asset which is currently 331/336. What I have done is that I copied 331/336 to Z31/Z36 and adapted them so that its possible to chosse the values for the different dep. areas. I also replaced 331/336 in the types 338/339.
But when I run CJ88, it still takes 331/336....
Any idea? Is my approach possible? Any other Idea?
Thanks and best regards,
Sebastian

Hi Sebastian
Assume you want to settle 100 to Dep Area 01 and 120 to Area 15
During initial settlement, let the system settle 100 to both using 331/336
You make a copy of them and limit the Z trans type to Dep Area 15 alone.. Then post 20 USD to Dep Area 15 using ABSO

Values for Ordinary deprec. have changed in dep. area 01 in fiscal year 200

Hi Guru,
I m in the process of upgradation from 4.6C to ECC 6.0.
In Asset Accounting in 4.6C there is a facility of batch input thereby the user can replace the block cost centre by new one. As this facility is not available in ECC 6.0 so I have figured out all asset master in which the block centre are entered. And one by one replace the old cost centre by new one in asset master. When I ran the dep. "AFAB" there were no error. But for few assets the dep. shows positive value and cumulative dep. as zero. When I display the master of these assets and go into asset value of that asset then it give the message
Values for Ordinary deprec. have changed in dep. area 01 in fiscal year 2008
Message no. AU390
Diagnosis
Depreciation terms were changed in depreciation area 01 since the last time depreciation was recalculated. The values for Ordinary deprec. that were saved in the database in fiscal year 2008 are therefore different from the newly calculated values by an amount of 102385.74-.
Procedure
Check if the newly calculated values are correct. If they are, then carry out a depreciation recalculation. You should be aware that if you recalculate depreciation, new values could arise for all open fiscal years, and these would then have to be posted to the general ledger by means of a depreciation posting run.
If, on the other hand, you want to keep the values that are saved in the database, you have to set the depreciation terms back to how they were at the time of the last depreciation recalculation.
To see a comparison of the old and new values, you can use the Display dep. calc. function in the asset value display or the Recalculate values function in the Asset Accounting menu."
Guru, New value is absolutely wrong as it reversed all the dep. charged upto previous period.
please tell me what I can do & how i colud check whether any body has changed the dep. term or not.
Thanks

Imbalances between the dep area values

Hi
We have separate areau2019s for local currency- 01 (INR) and Group Currency- ( 03 ) for reporting purpose. The Group dep area was set up the dependent area of 01. What ever values are posted in dep are -01 the same values are automatically updated to group
dep 03.
But last month we have posted the depreciation in the company codes. After that we have executed the reports at the both area ( 01 & 03 ). Now these dep area are showing the different values in AM & FI at group currency ( USD ). Even the local currency values are updated similarly in AM & FI.. There was no problem in local currcy u2013 INR (dep are-01 ), there is a problem in group currency u2013 USD ( dep are- 03 ).
Why the values are updated differently in AM u2013 FI at group currency- USD only ?.
We have set up different GL accounts for both dep areau2019s
Dep areau2013 01 ( local currency u2013 INR )
Dep area- 03 ( Group currency u2013 USD )
Thanks
Ram

Have a look to the asset value date when you created the posting, I think it takes the exchange rate from that date. For the depreciation it takes the date from the last day of the Month.
How you have setup Specify the Use of Parallel Currencies??? -- Yes
SPRO:
Asset Accounting / Valuation / Currencies / Specify the Use of Parallel Currencies
Have you assigned 03 to Group currency? - yes

Stop Depreciation for a specific Dep Area

All
I am able to stop depreciation for a specific period. My requirement is to stop depreciation for a specific Depriciation Area -01. My client has 4 dep area's (01,02 & ..). Depriciation has stopped in both the depriciation areas (01&02). I had activated Asset shut down and increased the useful life only for Dep Area 01 & not Dep area 02. Both Dep Ar. 01 & 02 use the same Dep Key. Client requirement is Dep has to be stopped for a specific period and specific Dep Area(01). I had stopped dep for a specific period but this has stopped for both the dep area's (01&02)..
Is there a solution to the above. Please let me know if any.
Regards
Sekhar

Check by marking indicator D-Default value from company code and depreciation area in definition of depreciation key in AFAMA.

Error when selecting depreciation area as real dep. area

When trying to create a new derived depreciation area and select it as real dep. area in order to be able to post values in FI-GL, I get an error and the system does not allow me to post. I´m working with version 4.6 and need to post values in GL from a derived area. Can anyone help me?

And is it possible to post in the derived area even though it is not real?
I´ve set the depreciation area as to post only depreciation but when try to assign accounts it does´nt let me
the error says:
There is a separate maint. transaction for
assgnmt in area 11
and then I click and I get the following answer:
Please maintain area 11 in FI-AA Customizing:
Under Investment Support if depreciation area 11 is an investment support area.
Under Reserves for Special Depreciation if area 11 manages special depreciation
But the derived area is not an Investment support nor a Reserves for Special Depreciation area.

*Depreciation reversal with conversion in Parallel Currency Dep Area*

When we creat depreciation run in version 4.6c (RABUCH00) the program performs a batch session and post depreciation entry in Company Code currency -in our case-(GBP) and parallel currency (USD) as, entry should be
posting key GL A/c                        GBP USD
75              Accumulated Depn A/c   76GBP    38USD
40              Depreciation Exp A/c      -76GBP   -38USD
entry is posted in other depreciation area (which is opted for posting) in dep area currency USD.
We are observing a issue where the entry for a particular
asset is actually posted as
posting key GL A/c                        GBP USD
70              Accumulated Depn A/c   76GBP     1USD
75              Accumulated Depn A/c -38GBP   -1USD
50              Depreciation Exp A/c     -76GBP   -1USD
40              Depreciation Exp A/c      38GBP     1USD
hence my query is
1. Why for a particular asset amounts are getting reversed.
2. Why these amounts are not converted in parallel currencies when we change GL layout of parallel currency.
SAP OSS Note No. 0000733192 RABUCH00 and parallel currencies with value 0 has relevant documentation on this topic but it fails to explain why this happens in particular asset.Can you provide any explanation ? Thanks.

Hi Hui Bin Liu,
How did you solve this?
I have that same issue right now and can't figure how to solve it.

Depreciation for the Dep Area 03 is positive for the month of december

Dear All,
My client has run the Deprecation for the month of Dec 2011 and for only one asset the value in the depreciation area 03 is become positive. Eg; for 11 months value is credit 1000 and in the month of December it has posted as Debit 1000. And the value of the asset has in the deprication 03 is same as 2011 value because dep. is zero.
Please assit me in this case as I its financial year close.
Regards,
Jayraj

Hi Jayraj,
I assume that the DEP KEY might have been changed for the Area 31 to 0000 after running the dep update run for NOV period but before running the DEC dep update run in AFAB/AFABN.
This could be the only reason, where the whole Dep for the year will get reversed.
Ex: You might have created an addtional DEPRECIATION INTERVAL for Dep area 31, where the starting date for the the same could have set to FY start date.

Srinu

Posting Different APC without changing the Book dep area APC

Hi All,
I am trying to post in ABSO different APC amount for different depreciation areas. I am able to post either increase or decrese of amount in APC for all the areas.
The screen in ABSO requires an amount to be posted, which can be changed for different depreciation areas.
My requirement is not to change the book dep area posting, i.e. "0" is to be posted for Book deprecaition area, and either positive or negative values for remaining areas depending upon the transaction type.
Can anyone help with this.
Thanks in advance
Krishna

Hi,
    In SPRO
    AA>Transactions> Aquisitions> Define Transaction types......
    Copy the TType that you would usually use to a new one.
    Then use "Limit Transaction Types to Dep.Areas" to restrict it to the Areas
    that you want to post to.
    Use this Ttype in ABSO then area 01 will not be posted to.
Kind regards

Deactivation of dep area in asset master data

Hi,
I am trying to deactivate a dep area in an asset.
I could see deactivation check box available in AS03, but when it comes to AS02, I am not able to see the deactivation indicator column and also does not appear if I double click and go inside dep area details in As02.
I check screen layout for dep areas applicable and screen layout mentions deactivation indicatoy is optional.
So how could I deactivate in AS02 now?
Regards,
SKD

Hi Viswa
It is no authorization issue.. It is expected and standard behaviour
You cant deactivate any dep area in the asset master once you create and SAVE.. In the current circumstances,
a. Put a deletion flag in the Asset Master... If any values are posted in it, then scrap the asset w/o revenue
b. Create a new asset and deactivate the Dep Area in it
