Do not retire a specific depreciation area

Hello All,
I have a requirement not to post any retirement on a specific depreciation area. I know that we can limit transaction on specific depreciation areas. But I wonder if there is some configuration other thatn limiting transaction type to post on specific depreciation area.
Thanks!

Hi Jhero
You need to create a Z trans type from the regular trans type ans restruct to to the desired dep area
That should suffice

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!

Depreciation run for specific depreciation area

Hi,
In AA, we defined 2 depreciation area for all the assets class, one for local(01), another one for group(30). all the area will be posted to FI.
according to requirement, we would like to stop specific depreciation area depreciation run for certain asset(not asset class). this means that for depreciation area 01, it will be work, but for 30, it should be stopped. may be 3 months later, this asset will be restart run depreciation for area 30.
Would anyone know how to do that? thanks.
Ben

Hi
Hope you have to change the Config settings then.
Go to AO21 and select your screen layout and double click Field Group rules and under FG 18 you have Deactiv. area make this enrty optional and also select the check box MnNo.
Save the entry.
Come back to AS02,now the dep area will be available for deactivation.
Good Luck

AUC Settlement - values are not updated in all depreciation areas

Dear Friends,
I got a problem with Asset AUC settlement.
We have created a AUC, while creating asset master, we mistakenly deactivated one of depreciation area(area 70). After few days my user run settlement (in the year 2014). When user run settlement all values move to new asset except depreciation area 70 because in AUC asset area 70 is deactivated. But in new asset area 70 is required.
Now user realised it, is there any way to enter values in area 70, becuase we are using parellel ledger concept, area 70 is assigned ot one ledger when user run GL balances system showing differences in balances.
Please help me to solve this issue.
Thanks
Sudheer

Hi Sudheer,
This t.code will activate the dep.areas for all existing assets. If you want to activate for specific assets, then it is not possible. Alternatively, you select the check box "Leave values initial" and run the program. Here the check box will not update any values for the new dep.area for the existing assets. After that create a custom transaction type and limit the transactions for the new dep.area, after that do posting for the asset which you want postings.

Mukthar

Asset values not coming in depreciation area

Hi Experts,
Following the management requirement we have created a new depreciation area 50 with posting indicator "0".
We found that asset posting from CJ88 (AUC to Final settlement) is not getting updated in depreciation area 50.
Please help me this. Necessary details are mentioned below:-
1. Depreciation area 50 is activated for main asset class but not for CWIP.
2. For depreciation area 50, value maintenance is set as Only Positive values or zero allowed.(Screen shot attached)
3. Transaction type 336 is not restricted to any depreciation area.(Screen shot attached)
Am attaching relevant screen shot.
Thanks in advance

HI Mukhthar,
Thanks for the prompt reply.
In some cases system is updating values in depreciation area 50 even CWIP is not activated but in maximum cases system is not updating the values.
I have carried out the changes in quality by activating depreciation area 50 for CWIP and perform a test case and it works but i want to know the root cause of this issue that why system is behaving like this and how it updates value in some cases.
Please suggest

I have done the consistency check and it shows no errors in depreciation area set up.
When Trying to settle an internal order in KO88 to a fixed asset I am getting the below error message.
*Data inconsistency: Parallel depr. area is not posted Message no. AAPO104*
Diagnosis
For chart of depreciation ZCH, you defined this area (or these areas) as parallel depreciation areas for depreciation area 01. In the current transaction, however, not all of these areas are posted. This is not allowed.
Procedure
Check if the transaction type is limited to certain depreciation areas. If there is such a limitation, add the missing depreciation areas for the transaction type.
Check if the asset that is being posted manages all these depreciation areas.
I have checked the transaction types and they are not limited to any depreciation areas. I have activated depreciatio areas in the asset class and maintained the account determination nad assigned g/l accounts.
Please help me if I have missed any settings.
Thanks & Regards
Nirmala

Hi,
AAPO104 is generally a customizing error: the check points to consider are generally the following regarding parallel currencies: I think you have checked most of them already...
* The parall. dep. area must have the same settings as the original area (e.g. allowing APC).
* The parall. dep. area must set for identical values take over.
* The parall. dep. area must set for identical parameter take over.
* The parall. dep. area must be assigned to the currency type which is defined as parallel in FI in trx. OB22 (e.g. 30).
* The parall. dep. area must be activated in the asset class (transaction OAYZ)
Furthermore, a problem can also be that in OABT you have a parallel area customized, taking value from another area, which is customized and seen in T093. If for example this parall.area is missing on your Asset Under Construction but is there on the final asset this obviously will create the error AAPO104, too.
In any case check your settings are correct in regards to parallel depreciation areas. They must manage same values as original areas. If they don't it cannot be a parallel area.
Maybe you also need to consider the information in SAP note 317806.
Also, looking at your different depreciation areas above, it looks that you have set up a ledger scenario (areas 01 , 02 and 29). I wonder, do you have a correct set up for the parallel currency for your ledger scenario? If I am not mistaken, I don't see a derived parallel currency area. Could this be the problem?

Brigitte

Delete Depreciation Area

Hi everybody
I have a error when I configure. The first I configure all information about asset for depreciation areas (01,02,15,20,30,31,32,41,51). But finally, I deleted depreciation area 41,51. Now I want to determine depreciation areas in asset class. But it notice error:
"Contact your system administrator (table error)
Message no. AA826
Diagnosis
Depreciation area 41 has not been defined in the chart of depreciation HDQC.
Procedure
Define the depreciation area using in FI-AA Customizing"
And
Diagnosis
The function module FIAA_WRTAFB_CHECK/FIAA_PARAFB_CHECK checks depreciation area 41 in chart of depreciation HDQC. However, this depreciation area is not contained in the table listing all the depreciation areas (T093/T093A) which the module checks.
Procedure
Inform your system administrator.

Thaks for the advice, it also worked for my problem which was:
I copied the chart of depreciation from chart of depreciation DE (1000) to a customer specific new one (CDPH). I also deleted many of the depreciation areas because we only required 5 of them (Local GAPP, Group GAAP, tax accounting, cost accounting, IFRS). I also customized those 5 depreciation areas successfully.
But the problems came when I tried to customize: Asset Accounting / Valuation / Depreciation areas / Defione depreciation ares: Function: "Specify Area Type". I had the problem that it was not possible to delete depreciation area 59 (Investment support). So I did not worry too much and walked on with customizing.
When I came to customizing: Asset / Valuation / Determine Depreciation Area in asset class it was not possible to for me to save any changes in the asset classes (depreciation terms (Depreciation key, useful life) Screen layout), I always got the error message: "Field group NDJAR does not exist in field group table".
Then I read you advice and applied FM "AA_AFABER_DELETE" and just entered the relevant chart of depreciation (CDPH) and the depreciation area which I finaly wanted to delete (59) and after 2 seconds the problem was solved.

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.

Country specific Dep Area

Hi All,
If there are two depreciation areas say 01 and 10 and 01 dep. area is my Book Dep area and 10 dep area is my country dep area.
So now when i run the dep posting, should the dep be posted to both the dep areas.
I am aware of how to configure this technically, but i need to understand the process - how do we post the dep in the country specific dep area.
Thanks and regards,
Ankur

Hi
As SAP only one depreciation area can be real (posting) and other depreciation area are normally for reporting purpose. But, we ca have a derived depreciation area which is deemed as real depreciation are which can be posted.
Like
Dep - 01
Dep - 10
Derived depreciation is suppose 51 which (DA-01 less DA-10)
In this case you can deem depreciation area 51 as country specific depreciation area.
Thanks

How to Update the APC values in another Depreciation Area

Hi
We have an issue that:
Due to our configuration mistakes the past values have not posted to our depreciation area 15 (Tax depreciation) and our Group Assets are not updated with these values. Now we have rectified the configuration but we want to update the already posted values in depreciation area 15 (Group Assets).
How we can update the same.
Thanks in advance to all.

You can use transaction ABSO and use a copy from the transaction type 158 Gross interco.transf.acquis. prior-yr acq.
You have to create a new transaction type copy from 158 and Limit Transaction Types to Depreciation Area 15

Depreciation areas in ANLP

Hi All,
In the table, ANLP, I can not see some specified depreciation areas and their values even though I see the data for all specified depreciation areas in AS03.
For example, 40 and 60 depreciation areas are specified in OABN. However, in table ANLP, I just obtain results for depreciation area 60 and I can not see the depreciation area 40. For this problem, how can I get the data for depreciation area 40 and depreciation area itself in ANLP?
In general, how can I see all specified depreciation areas and see data for those depreciation areas in ANLP?
Points will be rewarded!!
Cheers!

Thank you Nathan!
I have changed the posting status for depreciation area 40 but I still can not see it in ANLP. At that point even though some depreciation areas has posting status 0 (means no posting), they have data in ANLP. For example, depreciation area 25 and 40 have posting status 0 but I can see data for depreciation area 25 in ANLP but I cannot see for 40. How can I obtain data for depreciation area 40 in ANLP? What else can I do to obtain?

Posting assets to some depreciation areas

Hello SAP Gurus,
I have a Chart of depreciation with :
01 Corporative area (principal ledger)
02 Local area (local ledger)
03 Revaluation of local area
07 Fiscal area
08 Revaluation of fiscal area
Question is, how can I post to local or fiscal area without posting to pricipal area 01 ?. Using FB01 with a movement class that doesn't post on area 01 throws the followin error :
&CAUSE&
You have entered a transaction type which only updates depreciation
areas, which are not automatically entered in the General Ledger.
Therefore, no document can be created for Financial Accounting. In the
transaction you have selected, however, you can only post business
transactions with documents.
&SYSTEM_RESPONSE&
&WHAT_TO_DO&
Via the menu bar 'Postings' and pull-down menu 'Miscellaneous', you can
post without a document. Alternatively you can enter a transaction type
which updates the depreciation area and has automatic entry to the
General Ledger.
How can I do that without destroying the local balance for the local ledger. I need to user the counterpart account..
Help in advance.

If I understood you correct, your depreciation area does not post values in general ledger. And you wish to post something to that depreciation area and to have contra account in GL? That is not possible; or your depreciation area posts to GL and you will be able to use transaction type that corresponds to this requirement, or your depreciation area is not posting to GL and you have to use ttype which is not updating GL.
FB01 requiers creating of financial document and your ttype is saying that posting is related to depreciation area which does not post to GL. So, this is not possible. If you need posting in that depreciation area (which does not posts to GL) you need transaction like ABSO, not standard FI transactions.

Screen layout rules for depreciation areas

Hi Experts,
One quick question. Where do we see screeen layout rules for Asset depreciation areas. SPRO path or transaction code to view this would be helpful.
Regards,
Santosh

Hi Ragini
Thanks for reply. It seems transaction code OA78 is wrong. It says transaction code OA78 does not exist. I am working on SAP R/3 4.7 version.
I know that we can define screen layouts for depreciation areas through transaction AO21.
However I would like to know how can we find out screen layout assigned to a particular asset or particular asset class. In transaction OAOA we can see screen layout rule assigned to asset class, but not screen layout for depreciation areas for that asset class.
Any pointers on this would be highly helpful.

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,
subst. will never work in such a case!
suggestion:
transfer asset to new asset with correct depr.-parameters with <b>abumn</b>
and run afab for the new asset
