Now i want the capitalization not the document posting date, i want to update with some other date.  How it is possible.

Answer 1

Hi,
You can assign 'capitalization date' for MIGO in the following configuration location:
SPRO > Financial Accounting > Asset Accounting > Transactions > Specify How Default Asset Value Date is Determined
There are two steps:
1. Create a variant containing your default choices for determining the asset value date for many transactions
2. Assign the variant to each company

Here is the complete instruction from SPRO:
Specify How Default Asset Value Date is Determined
In this step, you define which rules the system should use in each company code when determining the default asset value date when posting asset transactions. You need this step only if you have special needs in regard to the asset value date, since there are standard rules in the system that meet most needs for setting the asset date.
The default asset value date is particularly important for transactions that are initiated in applications that are integrated with Asset Accounting (such as acquisition from goods receipt). In that type of transaction, the default asset value date is not displayed, and therefore cannot be changed manually when you post.
You specify the rules for determining the default asset value date in value date variants. You can assign one value date variant to each company code.
You enter two rules in the value date variant for each accounting transaction:
- one primary rule
- one alternative rule, in case the fiscal year determined on the basis of the primary rule is not the same as the fiscal year of the posting date.
In addition, you can define new rules in this step. You have to use the standard SAP enhancement AMAV0001 to set up the program logic for new rules for determining the default asset value date.
