Extending existing assets to another depreciation area

hi
We have some assets that have been created in depreciation area 01 already and have been in existence since last five years.
Now the requirement is to show these values also in another depreciation area 22 wef 1st Jan 2011.
For example here is a sample list
Asset     Class     Description                                   Model                                              Cost center                                              Cap.date                                              Aquis value
1100224     1000     icecold     nissan     CCDN7410     12/31/2010     2,754,042.00
1100517     1000     ice cold     nissan     CCDN7410     1/28/2011     895,036.00
What is the best way to get this done?
Please advise.

Hi K. Gunasekar
It is not possible to tranfer assets from one depreciation area to another. Please ask and understand the requirement from the client for such a thing.
It is intracompany asset transfer that we use usually in such cases. But inter-business area transfers are not possible.
Still, you can read more on transfers here > http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/4f/71e876448011d189f00000e81ddfac/frameset.htm

Assets: synchronising two depreciation areas which post to G/L

Hi All,
For assets, I've three depreciation areas:
- Book depreciation (posts to general ledger),
- Spec.tax depreciation (posts to general ledger)
- Cost-accounting depreciation.
I have to make the depreciation posting in first and second areas synchronised. For example, If, for a ceratin asset, I set a percentuage depreciation of 10% in the Book depreciation area, and a percentuage depreciation of 10% in the Spec.tax depreciation area, I expect that the depreciation process lasts 5 years.
How could I obtain this way to do?
Thanks
Gandalf

Hi Gandalf,
Use transactions OABD and OABC to achieve your purpose. In transaction OABD depreciation terms in the given depreciation area can be transfered to another depreciation area. In transaction OABC - one depreciation area adopts the value of another depreciation area.
Hope this helps.
Cheers

Mass transfering of assets into another depreciation book

Hi All
Please clarify my below query.
when an asset was initially capitalized in the wrong asset class. Asset master in the correct asset class should first be created and thereafter the values will be transferred via the transfer within company code function in the Fixed Assets module.
For example, 10 units of laptop were initially capitalized in one asset master with IT cost centre. If 5 units of the laptop need to be transferred to Finance cost centre, a new asset master in the same asset class will be created and partial transfer will be carried out for 5 units to the new asset master.
1. is it possible to mass transfering of assets into another depreciation book if yes.
please provide me the necessary steps to do the above activities.
Thanks & Regards
K.Gunasekar.

Hi,
It seems like you have an asset, with 10 Qty in an asset master.
Try to do asset partial transfer with ABUMN for 5 qty.
Hope this might help you.

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

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

Assets - Customizing of Depreciation Areas

Good Morning!
We are customizing the Depreciation Areas (In "Define Depreciation Area) and one of them is "Tax Reporting". This Area cannot be posted to General Ledger so we have defined in this transaction that this Area is not going to be posted in GL.
The problem is that when we go for example to Transaction AWO1N (Asset Explorer), for this Depreciation Area we do not have the period posted value. If we want to run a report for this Area for a specific period, SAP does not allow us because for this Area SAP do not define the planned useful periods.
Many thanks in advance!

This is Ok, but we need a monthly report for this Dep. Area. We have tried to run the report S_P99_41000192 because this one should allow us to have this monthly information but it doesn´

Value of asset in new depreciation area is Zero

Hello All
I have created a new depreciation area 11. In OABC it is set as 01 (values from book depreciation). In OAYZ, I have assigned the new depreciation area to new asset classes. Then I transferred to value from old assets to new assets by ABUMN and run AFBN for opening the new depreciation area.
In AW01N, I can see the new depreciation area for the asset but with zero value. In the transactions I see the transfer with transaction type 158 and with zero value for the new area. The transaction type taken for book depreciation is 310 and has the correct value.
Can anyone tell me how to get the net book value in area 11.
Thanks,
Sangram

Dear Sangram
To ad a depreciation areas you have to proceed as follows. Point 3 explains how to get how to get the net book value in
area 11.
1. Create Depreciation area via OADB.
2. Activate Depreciation area via OAYZ.
3. Automatic opening of new depreciation are via AFBN and program
   RAFABNEW :
3.1     Indicator: Leave values initial = not ticked.
             Do not set this indicator if you want the system
             to copy the values from depreciation area 01.
3.2     Indicator: Leave values initial = ticked.
             Set this indicator if you want to open the newly created
             depreciation area without any values i.e. blank.
4. Recalculate depreciation via AFAR and program RAAFAR00.

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.

Depreciate the assets in the depreciation area 15 (taxes) only

I need continue with the obsolete asset depreciation, so, I need those assets are not depreciated on areas 01, 02, 03, just need depreciate in area 15(taxes) for report purposes only,
we tried to lock the depreciation on 01, 02 and 03 areas by changing the depreciation key to 0000,
and it worked.. but dont know how depreciate the area 15....because when the AFAB is run, the asset doesnt appear there...we could made the depreciation on area 15 in a manual way only
in other words
I have already setup area 15 for taxes only with no update to G/L. I also set my asset with 0000 dep key for areas 01 and 03 and LINI to area 15. But when I run AFAB, I was expecting to see my asset depreciating for area 15 only, but it didn't show up in the output list. do you know how can I depreciate only area 15 (taxes) ? Is there a place to set AFAB transaction to consider area 15 in the depreciation? ...

I have already setup area 15 for taxes only with no update to G/L.
If you have disabled your depr area to post it to GL how can you expect to see it in AFAB run. This looks like a notional area for Tax depreciation. Why dont you run Tax depreciation report and get your depreciation values from there... Check your business scenario if Area 15 is suppose to post to GL or not and configure accordingly.

Transfer of a Asset from one Business Area to Another Business area

Hi Gurus,
I am working for a Indian client in ECC6.
presently we are using "ABUMN" TCODE to transfer asset from one business area to another business area. But, in this process we have to create a new asset or transfer to a existing asset with new business area. So, we are retiring the Old asset transferred and the total value and accm. dep is transferred to the new asset.
Now, my client doesnot want to create a new asset, he wants the old asset no. to be retained and keep track of the transfers from one business area to another.
In Time Dependent intervals, i am unable to change Business are. it is only allowing to keep track of changes in Cost centre. Likewise i want for Business area.
Can anybody help?
regards
Jaya

Hi Jaya,
we need to maintain the screen layout rules for the asset master data for the above issue.
Path: SPRO, Financial Accounting, Asset Accounting, Master Data, Screen Layout, Define Screen Layout for Asset Master Data.
Double click Define Screen Layout for Asset Master Data.
Select your screen layout and double click "Logical field group" folder.
Then double click on "3 Time dependent data" and double click "Field group rules".
Here maintain the rule for business area exactly as it looks like for cost center.
Hope this helps you....

Depreciation area set in Asset Class does not appear in asset master data

Depreciation area does not appear in the asset master data however it is set in the Asset class. If other asset is created in the same Asset class that depreciation area is automatically set in the asset master (it proofs that it is not a problem with Asset class).
I tried to set that deprecition area directly in the asset master data but all the fields are blocked for changing (is it possible to change that?).
What should I do as I need to post on that area ?
Thank you,
Jean

Ok Zaid! thanks,
But what treatment should I give to that asset? Because now it is not being evaluated in that area but we need to do it.
The asset was created in the prior exercise (year).
Regards,
Jean

Trnasfer of Asset frm one Business Area to Another in same Company code

Hi Experts
In my Asset Accounting Business Area is mandatory field and when I transfer asset from one business area to another business area system change the asset number from old to new number, the problem is that suppose asset A with useful life of 10 years already utilized three years in business area 1010 and after three years when I transfer this asset to another business area 1020 system again calculate 10 years in new asset which is wrong it should be seven years because 3 years already used in previous business area, please help me that how to resolve this issue.

Hi
If you are transferring to a new asset - You can maintain the useful life in the new asset master as 7 yrs
Else, do the settings in IMG > AA > Transactions > Transfers > Inter CO Asset Trf > Define Trf variants.... Here, you can try to configure which fields must be taken over during transfers... This is usually used for Cross Comp Trf.. however, try to use in your case and see if it works

Posting entry in one depreciation area

Hi
I am capitalizing one expense in company's act depreciation area (i.e. book depreciation area) and capitalizing it in another depreciation area (say IFRS depreciation area)
How to do this in SAP
Because i need to create asset master in one depreciation area and post acquisition and depreciation in one depreciation area.
How to handle it in SAP asset Accounting

Does it mean i need to create one transaction type and i need to limit it to one depreciation area YES
With the limtation from a new transaction type to that depreciation area you want to post to it is only posting in that depreciation area.
It is not relefant if there are other depreciation areas in the master data from your asset for the posting
