  • Dep start date need to be changed it is grayed out ,went to screen layout.

    Hi
    I wanted to change the dep start date in asset master data,but in DEp area tab the dep start date is grayed out.
    I went to screen layout of asset master dep area..but where is the setting to change it to change mode.It has only the Req opt etc field.

    Hi
    First you see the screen layout assigned to the asset. use AS02 goto Environment -Screen Layout-Select Master Data. See what screen layout is using.Go to the screen layout and check whether this filed is optional or supprsed, if it is supprsed than make it optional.

  • Setting the Asset Value date as the dep start date

    Hi,
    I need to pick depreciation from the asset value date and NOT the dep start date in the asset master record. Is this possible? IF it is, then what config changes needs to be done.
    Thanks

    Hi
    You can define that in the multi level method assigned to your depreciation key.
    Assign points if the information is  useful to you

  • Mass updation of Dep start date in Asset

    Hi All,
    Please note that I have created a new depreciation area for client for tax reporting purpose(areas do not post).The client wants to update the depreciation start date in all the assets with this new dep area.This can be done through customizing settings( transfer of dep terms) but then the useful life will also be identical to reference area(01) which client wants to change as per requirement and should not be same as reference area.
    The other options are LSMW & BDC upload where i can do a mass upload for depreciation start date for all the assets.However I have not used this feature.
    I would really appreciate if someone can help me with the steps.
    Regards
    Pranay

    Hi,
    To do the mass changes to the assets create a substitution in Asset Accounting in GGB1.
    Asset Accounting - AM Master data mass change.
         Create a step under the substitution with the required changes(take Deparea and Asset Classes in Prerequisite)
    You would require multiple substitutions. Precisely one substitution for all the asset classes with the same set of Deprecation start date and Useful life.
    In OA02 create new entry for the compny code.
    In AR01select the assets for which the mass change needs to be done.
    select the Create work list icon on appln tool bar. Name the work list. select Change asset w/o dialog (bulk change). Give the substition name that is created.
    In AR31 give the worklist details
    Select the Release Work List icon on the appln tool Bar.
    the changes will be effective for the existing selected assets.
    Try first in IDES before you do the actual changes. This will work.
    Thanks,
    Raja.

  • Calculate depreciation start date based on user defined field in asset

    Hi,
    I have a specific scenario where the start of depreciation date for asset needs to be calculated on user-specific logic.There is a additional field "installation date" in asset master screens.The requirement is that for depreciation areas 10 and 11 user wants that the depreciation start date to be calculated on the installation date rather than capitalization date.
    I tried using the exit AMAV0001 where we can change the asset value date which determines the depreciation date at the time of first acquistion to asset.But the problem is we can't change it as per depreciation area wise and thats why posting error was coming.
    Please suggest if any idea on this.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Adriano,
    in your example 2 issues influence the described behaviour:
    1) In your example the revaluation occurs in the capitalization year, in which all acquisitions (and revaluations) are managed under the period for the first acquisition. Only as of the year following the capitalization year the period control "pro rata" would really consider the revaluation or another acquistion as of period 4. In case you want the period control also being considered according to the posting period in the capitalization year, set the indicator XBZDAT with the correction report from note  92925.
    That should solve your issue.
    2) In case you use the new depreciation calculation engine you have the possibility to use individual period controls for revaluation also. This means you could specify period control for acquisitions as "pro rata" and for revaluations "next month". To realize this create a new transaction type for revalutions as described in note 1138166 . Unfortunately this feature is not possible with the old depreciation calculation engine.

  • System does not reset asset retirement date for Depreciation Area specific transaction after area has been deleted

    Good day,
    I needed to create a new depreciation area in a live system. The depreciation area would not post to the GL, but would be used for tax purposes in a currency other than the local currency. When creating this area the asset values were translated at the system exchange rate which did not agree with the values of the manually maintained tax register. I proceeded by creating new transaction types that would only post to the new area, one of which was an asset disposal transaction, which would be used for downward adjustment of the APC value. I made my adjustments at the end of the previous financial year, but had to start over and proceeded to delete the depreciation area to allow me to start over.
    After reinstating the depreciation area, my original adjustments were removed, however the assets which APC values needed to be adjusted downward using the disposal transaction, was giving me the AA 478 Posting transaction is not possible (value date not allowed) error.
    I've reviewed the asset postings and there is no record of my original adjustment documents. The problem seems to be that field ANLA-ABGDT (Last Retirement Date), is still indicating the date of my previous adjustments and that this was not updated when the Depreciation Area was deleted and reinstated.
    Again, I do not have any documents which I can access or reverse to update this table. Is there any way to clear this field without reversing the disposal document?
    I'm also looking at implementing SAP note 1618286, to make error message AA478 a warning. I could not implement SAP note 533378 since it only supports component version 46c and we are currently running component verson 605.
    I would appreciate your consideration of my problem.
    Regards
    Marius

    If you are in Test System, you can use function module AA_AFABER_DELETE to totally delete the depreciation area (tcode SE37, specify chart of depreciation and depreciation area), After that recreate your depreciation area and run AFBN. But before you do that, have you created a retirement transaction type that limits the posting on your new depreciation area? If not create one.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks!

  • Add a existing depreciation area to an existing asset

    Dear All,
    We have erroneously deactivated the main depreciation area (book depreciation) on an legacy take over asset. How can we reactivate the same?
    History so far:
    We took over legacy assets on 30.06.2005 (when we went live) in the Asset Management module. All the legacy values were taken over. Depreciation was run and subsequently year 2005 was closed in the Asset Management module.
    After almost 15 months we found that one legacy asset does not have the main depreciation area (book depreciation) activated.
    I tried substitution rules, but the field ANLB-AFABE is not available for substitution. Even when I add this to the table GB01 (Bool Class 30) it does not become available for substitution.
    Can some one advise, if they have faced a similar problem.
    Regards

    hi,

  • Different Asset value dates for different depreciation areas

    Hi All
    I have a requirement for different capitalization dates in different depreciation areas for some LATAM countries .How can this be achieved?

    Hi
    Hope you can achive this requirement by entering Depreciation calculation start date in depreciation area tab of asset master against each depreciation area
    Depreciation calculation start date
    'As a general rule, the system determines the depreciation start date from the asset value date of the first acquisition posting. However, you can also manually enter a calendar date in the asset master record for the start of depreciation. In that case, the system ignores the asset value date of the acquisition posting.'
    Please check different scenarios in development system and then do it

  • Issue with Ord Start Date

    Hi,
    I am having issue with Ord Start Date.
    When i create XYZ Asset now when i do the acquasation for that new asset. Example: Using FB01 i enter todays date and i do the posting.
    Now when i go to DEP Area TAB for the DEP Key (M200) - The Ord Dep Start Date is 15 Dec 2010.
    For this DEP Key Period Control Methods (T code - AFAMP) - Acquisation Entered is ( 6 that is - at the start of year) and the Period Control is ( T code - OAVS) (4 that is - First year convention at half year start date).
    Our client is using the fiscal year as 1 June 2010 to 31 May 2011.
    So when i do acquistion for the asset as per the period contol the Ord Dep Start Date should be 1 Dec 2010, but here it is talking 15 Dec 2010.
    Why is system talking 15 days more.
    Regards.

    Hi
    Which Fiscal year variant are you using??
    Did you maintain it in OAVH? Copy the existing entry in OAVH for K4 to your Fisc Yr var and try again
    And also, 04 does not figure for Acquisitions in AFAMP under 0004.... Whatever you specify in OAVH must also be a part of AFAMP

  • Change in start date of tax depreciation not for posting in mid of year

    Hi Experts,
    Tax depreciation area is not for posting. The fiscal year is from Jan to Dec. I want to calculate tax depreciation from May 2011 based on Net Book Value of tax depreciation as on 30.04.2011. But once I change the start date of tax depreciation in asset master to 01.05.2011, the system ignores the previous depreciation so I am not getting the NBV of tax depreciation of 30.04.2011.
    Is any setting is required to get this. I can not do changes in posting rules since this tax depreciation is not for posting any thing.
    The fiscal year 2010 is closed and NBV of tax depreciation as on 31.12.2010 of one asset is 80000, If I change the start date of tax depreciation from 1.1.2011 then system correcly take NBV of 31.12.2010 for further depreciation calculation. But if i change the start date of depreciation in between of year the system is calculating depreciation based on NBV of 31.12.2010 but ignores the tax depreciation from 1.1.2011 to 30.04.2011, which I previously run using AFAB.
    Need your assistance to know is it feasible to do this.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Harshad

    Hi Harshad
    The behaviour of the system is very much correct, it is designed to behave that way...
    One, you should not have changed the dep start date....
    two, NBV in SAP is always taken to be NBV @ the start of the year....
    The best wayout I can suggest here is, if you are on EhP4 and EA-FIN active
    a. Change the Dep Key in the asset... You can maintain Time Dependant Dep Terms in asset master i.e. Dep Key X from Jan-Apr and Dep Key Y from MAy onwards
    b. This will however, calculate dep based on NBV at the start of the year, but based on new useful life
    c. Considering your eg: The system is posting more depreciation i.e. 5333 instead of 5155.... So, calculate this amount outside the system and post a Manual Write up ABZU inorder to reduce the Dep and increase the NBV
    Even if you are on not on EhP4, you can follow the same approach as above.... i.e.
    a. Change the Dep Key in asset master.... This will throw up new dep figure, on the basis of New Useful life and NBV at the start of the year
    b. Post a write up from ABZU....
    No need to do Asset to asset transfer in my opinion
    Only diff between EhP4 and Non EhP4 is that the differential depreciation would be lesser if you are on EhP4... i.e. instead of 5333 now, system may throw up depreciation amount of 5666.. So, you may need to post write up of 5666-5155
