Depreciation Problem after asset transfer

Hi All,
During our month end, our user did the asset transfer within the same company code. When he runs the Depreciation through AFAB, the new asset is not showing any depreciation for current month, where as Old asset has some balance. I checked the new asset and in the Depreciation area, the Dep. start date is showing as 05/02/08. We changed the date to 03/02/2008 through AS02, but still it is not showing up any depreciation. I do have following questions.
1. Can we transfer asset before depreciation run or run the depreciation first and then do the transfer. In our case we already transfered, so how do we fix it.
2. I wonder how it is getting the Odep. start date as 05/04/08. Is it defined some where in Depreciation key/
3. Can we run depreciation excluding that new asset. If so, how it can be done
Please let me know if anyone has come across this, and how to solve this.
This is an urgent.
Thanks
Kris

Hi Muriel,
I am very sure you did not do it correctly. Now, this is the step to follow:
1. First adjust the APC value to what it should be using transaction code ABSO. Once you're sure that your Acquisition Value is correct, the next thing to do is
2. To execute transaction AFAB(Depreciation Run) in "Test Mode". This would give you the depreciation that would be posted by the system asset by asset. This are under three main headings namely: "Planned", "Posted" & "To Post".
Depending on your depreciation method, the "Planned" figure gives the total amount the system would post for the financial year whilst the "Posted" figure gives you what has been posted up to date and the "To Post" figure gives you what would be charged to the P&L when you run AFAB in Production mode.
Your Net Book Value(NBV) at the end of the depreciation run for say November 2006 would be NBV = APC - (Posted + To Post)
If Posted + To Post (i.e. Accummulated Depreciation) is more or less than what you expect it to be from you manual calculation, you then need to adjust the figure upward or downward depending on the situation at hand. That is when you now need to
3. Perform Manual Depreciation Adjustment using either transaction code ABAA or ABMA.
You can then use AW01N to view the asset. You would be able to see the different postings made. Do not forget to run AFAB in production mode. If not, no depreciation value would be posted and your report would still be wrong.
I hope the above helps.
Do not forget to award the points please.

Jacob

Issue in Depreciation Adjustment while Asset Transfer

Hi,
We have some old legacy assets which is capitalized in 2010 and depreciating for the last 4 years, These old assets contain the value of several different assets and the usefull life of the old asset is 50 years, Now we need to segregate these old asset to different new assets , my process contains
1) Creating new assets with different asset class with different usefull life
2) Transfer the respective value from the main asset to the new assets
3) Adjustment of depreciation already posted.
Here i am facing some issues regarding the asset transfer , anybody suggest which is the best way to transfer the asset acquisition value to new assets ?
when i am using ABUMN to transfer the values , system posting depreciation value adjustment which is the alredy posted depreciation for the past 4 years with the usefull life as 50 years. Is there any methode to adjust these value ?
If i am posting Asset transfer with F-02 (with negative posting) , system will transfer the net book value and start the depreiation calculation based on the usefull life of the new asset. Here system is not considering the depreciation already posted.
Is it possible to make changes in the system where assets will consider the depreciation start date as 2010 (old asset depreciation start date), If i am manually changing the depreciation start date then system is calculating the depreciation start date as 1st period of the current year (because previous years are alredy closed),
instead of 5 years usefull life ,system depreciated the values with 50 years, i need to adjust the posted depreciation and when i create a new asset with usefull life of 5 years i need to manage the asset as already 4 years usefull life is expired.
Is there any solution ?

Hi Ajay,
Case : We have an asset 1000, which contains a value of $ 100000, it was capitalizes in 2010 with usefull life of 50 years and past 4 years depreciating with 50 years usefull life, This is a legacy asset and contains the value of so mny different assets.
Now we need to create different assetd with different asset class and contains different usefull life, We need to transfer the value from Asset 1000 to these new created assets, here my concern is about the depreciation already posted to the asset 1000,
Assume my new assets value is $ 20000, i can transfer the value from asset 1000 to my new created asset. but here depreciation should be a problem because last 4 years depreciation is calculated as 20000 @ 50 years , but actual usefull life was 5 years.
Is there any methode to adjust the already posted depreciation.

Depreciation forecast after Asset revalution with AR29N inconsistent

There is a need to revalue assets on a certain date in the current
fiscal year. We did all the steps necessary to carry out revaluation
using Transaction AR29N, using the "new valuation of an asset"
function. After the reval the asset master was updated with the new Depreciation key and new useful life/dep start date.
SAP calculated the forecasted depreciation incorrectly in the
first few attempts, but after some testing it worked fine and we posted
periodic depreciation. This worked as expected. Using the same settings
in the same company code a new asset was revalued with a new value
date. The problem has returned although nothing was changed in the
system, The fore casted depreciation does not make sense.
Examples:
1. Asset Original Value at FY start - $100 with a planned dep of $1 for
the remaining useful life. Depreciation for 4th FP posted. Asset revalued
with a value date corresponding to FYP 04/2011. Revalued at $1200 with
new useful life of 24 months and new Dep start date corresponding to
start FYP 03. Expected depreciation PM is $50. This scenarion worked
fine.
2. Asset Original Value at FY start - $100 with a planned dep of $1 for
the remaining useful life. Depreciation for 4 FP posted. Asset revalued
with a value date corresponding to FYP 05/2011. Revalued at $2400 with
new useful life of 24 months and new Dep start date corresponding to
start FYP 03. Expected depreciation PM is $100. SAP shows forecasted
monthly depreciation of $108 per month

Hi Manish,
Are revaluated values appearing correctly in asset explorer (AW01N) both APC and depreciation.
If no then I would suggest to run AFAR for recalculate depreciation.
Thanks!!!

Vista DEP problems after Easy Transfer

Found a solution - My reader 9.1 started shutting down Vista after I transferred files with easy transfer - I tried fresh downloads and tried to exclude pgm from DEP - no luck/no support from HP/Adobe/Microsoft - however found a solution by installing Foxit

i use vista with iTunes 8 myself, never had this problem. But you can try this:
1) go to control panel
2) choose Safety
3) Under Windows Firewall, click Allow Programs to pass thru windows firewall (sorry i use a chinese vista so u may want to find an option with the same meaning)
4) choose continue in the pop up menu
5) then in the list of exceptions, check "iTunes"
hope this works ^^

Oracle Fixed Assets API for updating depreciation flag after conversion

Hi frnds,
Do we have any API's or update program to update the depreciation flag after asset conversion. We are converting all the legacy assets from 11.0.3 to r12 with a depreciation default flag of 'N' since depreciation is already calculated in 11.0.3 and we don't want to calculate any depreciation when we run our year end depreciation in R12. But anyhow at a later point we need to update the depreciation flag to the original value that of 11.0.3 in r12, so can you please help me if there is any API or standard program to update the depreciation flag.
Thanks,
Purnender

Welcome to the forums !
Pl post exact details of OS, database and EBS versions. Pl see if MOS Doc 206474.1 (Oracle Assets Adjustments API Documentation Supplement) can help

Asset Transfer - problems with incorrect depreciation values/period

Hi,
I'm trying to do an asset transfer between two company codes with transaction ABT1N using the gross method.
My problem is that when the asset is transferred the number of depreciation periods restart in the receiving company but with the net value from the sending company.
Example:
Company 1100:
Asset 1:
Aquired: january 2005
Value: 10 000 $
Depreciation time: 5 year x 12 months = 60 periods
Transfer to company 1200 on july 2007...
Depreciation in 1100 so far = 5 000 $
Net value to be transferred to CoCode 1200: 5 000 $
Here comes the problem, when I look at the depreciation time in company 1200 after the transfer, I see that the system now wants to depreciate the net value of 5 000 $ on another 60 periods period. This means that the asset will have a lifetime of 7,5 years in total instead of 5 years.
What I want to do is that after the transfer the depreciation should only by the the number of periods that is left from the original depreciation start in company 1100. This means that after the transfer there should only be 30 depreciation periods left in company 1200 on the transferred asset.
Thanks for response! I will add a lot of points to thoose that provides me with solution solving info.
Best regards
Carl-Johan

Carl,
This is where you can influence the fileds to be transfered in the transfer variant [1-Gross in your case].
Asset Accounting>Transactions>Intercompany Asset Transfers>Automatic Intercompany Asset Transfers>Define Transfer Variants-->Specify Transfer of Fields (for New Asset in Target CoCd)
Select the variant 1-Gross method and then click on the Depreciation area on the left bar. The system will display the all the Depreciation area for the Chart of Depr in question. Here for each depreciation area you can dictate what values from the old asset need to be trf to the new asset.
In your case, the system is not transfering the remaining useful life. Precisely you need to transfer the field group 19-Expired useful life and 20-Expired life in periods.
That should do the needful for you.
Have a nice day.

Asset Transfer with Asset depreciation Strat date

Dear All,
I have a scenario where the asset depreciation needsto be calculated based on the asset transfer date,
For example if the asset accquired on 01.03.2011 and it is puts into used on 16.04.2011, tehn depreciation should be calculated from 16.04.2011.
To achive the smae while creating the asset master i have created depreciation start date in future date. When ever I wil ldo the asset trasnfer throguh ZProgram it will update the depreciaiton started with asset transfer date.
My problem is that if the same Asset get transfered from one location to other location that should be depreciated with the specified cost center from asset transfer date.
When Ever I do further transfer the system is considering the depreciation from transfer date only its ignoring the previous date which are not posted depreciation.
Please let me know is it the depreciation calculation will have with multiple transfer dates.
Regards,
Rama Mohan

Dear Mohan,
Generally the following points are relevant.
1. Specify Transfer of Fields
CU: FI-AA:
-> Transactions
-> Intercompany Asset Transfers
   -> Automatic Intercompany Asset Transfers
    -> Define Transfer Variants
     -> Specify Transfer of Fields (for New Asset in Target CoCd)
      -> 03#Ord.dep.start date
If you mark "03#Ord.dep.start date ", the system is calculating
depreciation from the year of capitalization.
2. Transaction type: Indicator: Transfer adopting dep. start date
Indicator: Transfer adopting dep. start date
Set this indicator, if you want to adopt the historical depreciation
start date and capitalization date from the retiring asset when you
perform intercompany asset transfers or intracompany transfers.
3. Also, could you please verify these setting in you system according
to note 327088
4. Period control of the depreciation key.
regards Bernhard

In oneasset class i have created 2 assets by using of aso1 after that i acquired one asset for that i run the depreciation for first 5 periods, it has been showing depreciation for those period but if i am trying to run the depreciation for second asset i

in on asset class i have created 2 assets by using of aso1 after that i acquired one asset for that i run the depreciation for first 5 periods, it has been showing depreciation for those period but if i am trying to run the depreciation for second asset it is not showing first 5 periods why it is not showing? Is there any reason?

Hi
Repeat run you can do only for the last depreciation period. For the asset which you are tryin to post depreciation from July to Jan, please check the asset value date which you have given while posting the transactions or in the asset master.
If the asset value date is in July, then deprecaition from July - Jan will get posted in the current month depreciation in total. You will not be able to post depreciation individually month wise using AFAB.

Asset Transfer to another Plant without transferring Accum. Depreciation

Our Client has some special requirement in Asset Accounting.
Suppose he has an Asset at Plant A with Original Cost - 1,00,000/- & Accumulated Depreciation of 40,000/-.
He wants to transfer it to Plant B at 60,000/- & 40,000/- Accumulated depreciation to remain in plant A(old plant).
But When we use TCode - ABUMN - Asset Transfer within a Company Code,
it transfers both 1,00,000/- Original Cost & 40,000/- Accumulated Depreciation thereon to new plant(plant B).
is it Possible in SAP?
Client is using SAP ECC 6.0 (Indian Localization)

Can we change asset transfer date after going productive since five years

Hi,
I got a requirement where there is an asset since 1993 in legacy system, which now should be moved in to SAP.
But problem is we went live in 2003, I had set asset transfer date to 31-12-2003. Now I need to take over asset acquisition value & accumulated deprecation into SAP as on 2008 date.
It means I need to change asset take over date to 31.12.2008 from 31-12-2008. So can any one tell whether I can go ahead and change the asset transfer date, if I could change what would be effect on the existing assets?
Best Regards,
Giridhar

There is no impact on your existing asset when you change the take over date only a message when you run reports on old fiscal years. The old fiscal year should be closed and you can no longer be reopend (it is no longer there, take over is later) You can test this first in you test system
But it is better to use the other option no customizing and manual posting with OASV for the asset values. 2 minutes work and the asset is in
Even for conversions I go now for this option (own transaction key Y47) and no longer using AS91!.
When values are wrong you can reverse the posting and post again.

Consult Transfer problem after CCM upgrade from 3.3.4 to 4.1.3

I upgraded a CCM Cluster installed into a main site. In addition there is a branch office WAN connected by an MPLS Link with the main site; the branch is connected to PSTN using a Voice Gateway H323. The upgrade was perfomed from 3.3.4.sr2 to 4.1.3sr3a.
Now there are problems with consult transfer only on the branch office; main site don't is affected by the problem.
It's really strange because it occurs for 50% of the time, sometimes it works fine ..
To better explain the problem:
when a user receive a call from PSTN or from another phone (into same region or remote) and want to transfer to another collegue he press "transfer softkey", talk with the collegue and when he try to transfer the call "transfer softkey" appear disabled. If he transfer the call without consult the call is transferred correctly.
Later I have unistalled the 4.1.3 sr3a and installed 4.1.3 sr2 but nothing is changed
Someone can help me ?

Hi Brent,
Do you perhaps have "on hook" transfer enabled? With this enabled you don't need to press the Transfer key a second time to complete the transfer.Have a look:
When on-hook transfer is enabled, you can either hang up or press Trnsfer, then hang up.
If on-hook transfer is not enabled on your phone, be aware that hanging up instead of pressing Trnsfer cancels the transfer action and places the party to be transferred on hold.
Onhook Call Transfer
Modifications to the Call Transfer feature add the onhook (hangup) action as a possible last step to complete a call transfer. The Transfer On-hook Enabled service parameter, which enables onhook call transfer, must be set to True for onhook call transfer to succeed. If the service parameter is set to False, the onhook action ends the secondary call to the third party.
In the existing implementation, if user B has an active call on a particular line (from user A) and user B has not reached the maximum number of calls on this line, the Cisco IP Phone provides a Transfer softkey to user B. If user B presses the Transfer softkey (or Transfer button, if available) once, user B receives dial tone and can make a secondary call: user B dials the number of a third party (user C). Cisco CallManager provides a Transfer softkey to user B again. If user B presses the Transfer softkey again (or Transfer button, if available), the transfer operation completes.
With the new onhook call transfer implementation, user B can hang up after dialing user C's number, and the transfer completes. Both the existing and new implementations work in both the case of a blind transfer (user B disconnects before user C answers) and also in the case of a consult transfer (user B waits for user C to answer and announces the call from user A).
The previous implementation remains unchanged: user B can press the Transfer softkey twice to complete the transfer.

Getting error while doing Intercompany asset transfer

This is the first time that they are doing an intercompany asset transfer in our client. Intracompany asset transfers were done in the past. While doing an intercompany transfer, an error is popping up as given below.:
Account 'Contra account: Acquisition value' could not be found for area 01
Message no: Au133
Diagnosis
When creating the accounting document the system could not find account 'Contra account: Acquisition value' in depreciation area 01 for Company code( sending company code)
Procedure:
Enteer this account in the account determination for Asset Accounting.
Since, this is the first time an intercompany transfer is happening I assume that there is some configuration or some settign that might have to be done. Please could you help me.

Hi,
first set your COD with OAPL.
Go to transaction AO90 and select your COA and click on account determination, and select the account determination key, which is used for your sending asset and doublie click on blanace sheet accounts.
There one field will be there called Contra account: Acquisition value, so enter a B/S GL account there and SAVE it.
Since this account is required to enter at both COD level, like sending assets COD and receiving assets COD. But if you have your both assets in same COD, no need to maintain twice.
The purpose of this GL account is used while transfering one asset from one company code to another to capture the NBV as clearing entry between inter company code trasnfers. (This is as good as OBYA settings in FI). But this GL account here is not specific for one particular company code as like in FI.
This will solve your problem.
Cheers,
Srinu

ABUMN asset transfer

Hey Guys,
When doing an inter company asset transfer we are facing an issue as the current year depreciation for tax books remains on both the old and new asset. Before doing an asset transfer I could change the key to 0000 but in my copy controls I am copying the depreciation key to the new asset as well, so that will mean that the new asset will also get the key 0000 but I want the new key to use the original tax key that was assigned to the asset being transferred. How do you over come this issue?
This problem is only for the tax books
E.g. Asset 76333 is being transferred. key NA0
      Acquisition value            10000
      Accum Depreciation         5000
      Current year depreciation 200 ( half year convention)
   When I do an ABUMN- it copies all the information from the original asset
     New asset 76334
Acquisition value    10000
Accum depreciation 5000
Current year dep     200
The current year depreciation is being calculated for both the assets. If I change the key of the asset being retired to 0000 , then the new asset will also have key 0000. I want the new asset to have current year depreciation of 200 but the old asset should have 0000.
Please advice

Hi,
Your OAYZ settings will have priority over copy rules of dep key in AO21.
Change your dep key as required and post ABT1N with that asset and give sending asset as reference asset. Since your new asset will copy settings from OAYZ for the dep area tab, but not from the copy rules of sending asset.
I have tested too.
Thanks,
Srinu
