How to write-ups in Asset accounting?

Let me give a senario first:
asset APC : 10000 $
capitalized and APC date: 2000/01/01 (YYYY/MM/DD)
old depreciation method: straight-line, 10% rate, useful life is 10 years.
Now suppose the time is 2002/01/01, company changes the asset useful life to 5 years, in the aim of completely depreciate the asset 3 years later, the problem is the net value of that asset is 8000 $ by the old depreciation method.
new depreciation method: straight-line, 20% rate, useful life is 5 years.
To make the new method possible, the net value of that asset should be 6000 $ now, which means I need to manually post the 2000 $( 8000-6000) as write-ups. I define a new depreciation area and a new transaction type( write-up for new method) in the system, but when I execute T-code ABZU, two messages pop up, one is that " you can not post write-ups " , another is " Contact your administrator (table error) ", detail information below:
1.You cannot post write-ups
Message no. AA402
Diagnosis
None of the areas to be posted in accordance with the transaction type entered manages one of the depreciation types entered or cumulative values.
Procedure
Check the transaction type.

2
Contact your system administrator (table error)
Message no. AA380
Diagnosis
Inconsistency between the specifications for transaction type 700 and for the depreciation areas in chart of depreciation SHDE.
Depreciation area 32 is defined (in Customizing), so that it is required to take over values from area 01. However, one of these ares cannot be posted to, due to the specifications in transaction type 700. This combination is not allowed.
Procedure
In Asset Customizing, maintain the specifications in transaction type 700 for the depreciation areas that can be posted using this transaction.
I want to know whether using write-ups to deal with this business senario is right or not ? And if it's the right way , how to solve the aforementioned problems and make it happen?
Thanks in advance and points will be awarded to those who give the leads.

Hi,

What is mean of write-up in asset accounting

Dear all,
In asset accounting what is the mean of WRITE-UP.In which case we use this transaction. Can we use this t.code for any movement.
Advise me
Thanks & Regards,
Srinivas

Hi
A write-up is generally understood to be a later change to the valuation of an asset. This change can take different forms, depending on the reasons for the change. There are two common reasons for write-ups:
1.     You forgot to capitalize an asset in a fiscal year that is now closed, and this omission must now be corrected (write-ups to APC are usually called post-capitalization). Current year income statement gets a credit for the extent of post-capitalization amount given the assumption that the Vendor invoice was booked as an expense in the previous fiscal year.
2.     The value adjustments (depreciation) that you calculated in the past were too high. You must now correct this error using a write-up in the current fiscal year. Excessive depreciation generally results from:
u2022     The use of incorrect depreciation terms (incorrect expected useful life, incorrect depreciation key)
u2022     Unplanned depreciation, which is no longer valid in the current situation
u2022     A later reduction in the acquisition and production costs of an asset (for example, due to a subsequent credit memo).

How to post xpenses in asset accounting

hi,
how do i post freight expenses to an asset account and at the same time credit the vendor who has provided the freight. can i do it in abzon ?
what i think is
 Asset A/c
 to expenses a/c in abzon (giving expense a/c as offsetting a/c)
 Expense A/c
 to vendor A/c in fb60
tell me if it is correct, or there is any other procedure and correct me if accounting entries are wrong

Hi,
As per generally accepted accounting procedures, any expenses incidental to bringing the asset to use need to be capitalised, which means that they need to be added to the value of Asset Account.
The accounting entry can be
Dr Asset
Cr Clearing A/c
On invoice
Dr Clearing A/c
Cr Vendor
On payment of freight to vendor
Dr Vendor
Cr Bank
Please check the relevance to the issue in context. you can post to the asset with an appropriate acquisition transaction type.

Tahnks in advance!!!

Hi, Qunli
If you haven't the documentation of the BAPI, you can search in here http://ifr.sap.com/catalog/query.asp
You can find the BAPI in SAP FI(470 or above). Under the 'Accounting Interface' hierarchy, you can find a 'AcctngBilling' BO, and the Post method of it is the BAPI you're calling. (you can search to demonstrate in Tcode BAPI). There is some explain for the interface, if it is not enough, I have some sample application which call this BAPI.
Hope it will be helpful.
Thanks a lot

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

Asset accounting-QUESTIONS

Hi Gurus,
I got some questions for asset accounting request all of you to kindly extend your help
my questions are
    What is Asset History? ( OAOA)
2)     How the data flows from Asset Accounting to Controlling?
3)     When the asset value is zero and the Company is still using the asset then, how the Company generally proceed to calculate depreciation further? (Curb) (SPRO>Financial Accounting>Asset Accounting>Depreciation>Valuation Methods> Depreciation Key>Calculation Methods> Define Base Methods)
4)     In asset accounting, why 0% Tax code is created for not taxable transaction and why it is compulsory to do it before assigning the chart of depreciation to company code?
5)     What configuration is required to bring all the Fields in depreciation area tap of Asset master creation?(AO21) and (AS01)
[If we make any changes in Tcode AO21 and they are not getting reflected in depreciation area (Last Tab) in creation of asset master (AS01). So how to make the configuration to get those changes reflected in dep. area (last tab) in creation of asset]
6)     What are difference between Germany Chart of Dep. and Great Britain Chart of Dep. (UK)?
Be assured about the points
Thx

Hello
Charts of depreciation are used in order to manage various legal requirements for the depreciation and valuation of assets. These charts of depreciation are usually country-specific and are defined independently of the other organizational units. A chart of depreciation, for example, can be used for all the company codes in a given country
In the simplest scenario, all of your company codes are in the same country and are subject to the same legal requirements for asset valuation, meaning that you only need one chart of depreciation.
The chart of depreciation consists of the following parts:
In general, you are required to calculate values for assets for different needs, both internal and external (such as book depreciation and cost depreciation). Therefore, the Asset Accounting component enables you to manage values for assets in parallel in up to 99 depreciation areas. The chart of depreciation, therefore, is a directory of depreciation areas organized according to business management requirements. You define the characteristics, and thereby the significance, of the individual depreciation areas in each chart of depreciation. A depreciation area is always assigned to only one chart of depreciation.
You flexibly define the keys for the automatic depreciation of assets in each chart of depreciation. They are based on elements for calculation (calculation methods, period controls, and so on) that are available client-wide.
Use
SAP supplies typical reference charts of depreciation for each country. They have different depreciation areas and depreciation keys depending on that countrys specific requirements. You cannot use these charts of depreciation directly. You must create your own chart of depreciation by copying the reference chart of depreciation. Delete any depreciation areas that are not needed.
You can document the meaning of any chart of depreciation you set up in the system by writing a description for it.

You cannot post write-ups

Guru's
we are getting this error message while posting the write up for a asset which has Accumulated depreciation for the pervious year as well as normal planned depreciation in the current year.
You cannot post write-ups
Message no. AA400
Diagnosis
According to the transaction type, you have to post to area 01. However, in this area, there is either no accumulated depreciation or the write-up depreciation type(s) are not managed in this area.
Procedure
Check the transaction type.
who can i post the write up for the assets with out this error??? is this error should be interpreted as, due to no accumulated depreciation or write up depreciation is not in the particular asset for current year or previous year???
kindly help me in this regards. Thanks in advance.
With regards

Hi,
Write-ups are used for correction of depreciation values calculated in
the past (closed fiscal years). It is not possible to post write-ups to
assets that have been acquired within the current year. If you attempt
this, you will receive error AA402. Please review the R/3 Library
documentation for further information. The documentation describes the
procedure for write-ups as well as the two situations where write-ups
can be used.
A write-up is generally understood to be a later change to the valuation
of an asset. This change can take different forms, depending on the
reasons for the change. A write up can only be posted, if there are
accumulated values on an asset, it means the posting of a write up
corrects the depreciation from the past.
For example - The value adjustments (depreciation) that you calculated
in the past were too high. You must now correct this error using a
write-up in the current fiscal year. You can only post a write up, if an
asset has accumulated values.
But again the write-up functionality is designed to change prior year
asset not current year acquired ones.
If manual changes are necessary it may be possible for you to use
transactions ABMA - Manual depreciation or ABAA - Unplanned depreciation
to correct the depreciation amount.
Open the new fisical year and do the write-up from the previous fisical year

How to delete depreciation areas when a posting is made in asset accounting

Hi All,
We are implementing asset accounting to few of our company codes as a new company code start up project. We have opened depreciation areas for tax for one company code and found that we are not going to use this company code for asset accounting.
We have already opened 2 depreciation areas one for tax and the other as difference between book and tax depr in our development client. One of our member has created an asset and posted values to it. Now, we were told that we dont need to open the depreciation areas. When i am trying to delete it system giving error message saying you cannot delete the derived depr as the values have already been posted.
Please advice how i should proceed with the above issue for deleting the depreciation areas. Your help is much appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Hi Rose,
For the below mentioned issue do the following:
1) reset all the depreciation data ( t code OAGL)
2) reset all the asset account co code data (t code OABL)
then u can go and delete the depreciation areas.

How to link Purchase Order using account assignment category "F"* to asset

Hello,
I'd like to know how to link Purchase Order, using account assignment category "F" to asset .
When I enter asset no. in my ANEK table, po no(ebeln) and po item(ebelp) field is blank.
whether every line item in a Purchase order have differrent asset.
can anybody give me the link between asset and materal no?
Regards,
Rachel

Hi Rachel,
Your message is a little bit confusing. There is no link between the asset and material number. If you want to post your purchase order, using account assignment F - that is internal order - you may do it. Futher, you can settle the postings from this order to asset.

How to post externally to asset reconciliation account

Hi,
I need to post one entry externally to asset reconciliation account & I dont want to update asset due to that entry. How to do that?
Pl. help. I will award points for suitable answer.
Thanks
Veena

You are permitted to post the recon account undercertain special circumstances :
USe the transaction codes OAMK and OASV.
Kindly read the SAP on line documentation before making a postings directly to the recon account.
Definition of the Reconciliation Accounts
You are not allowed to manually post to the reconciliation accounts for Asset Accounting in Financial Accounting. Normally, you designate the corresponding General Ledger accounts in Financial Accounting as reconciliation accounts. This change, however, can no longer be made in Financial Accounting, once these accounts already have balances from the legacy data transfer. However, you can use a special report to assign these accounts the status of reconciliation accounts in Financial Accounting (in Customizing for Asset Accounting, choose Preparing for Production Startup ® Production Startup ® Set Reconciliation Accounts).
There is another report for removing this specification (Reset Reconciliation Accounts).
Subsequent Correction Postings to Reconciliation Accounts
Suppose you have already defined the asset G/L accounts in Financial Accounting as reconciliation accounts, but still need to transfer balances to these accounts, or make corrections. You can make correction postings to these reconciliation accounts with a special posting transaction in Customizing for Asset Accounting (Transfer Balances), using posting key 40 or 50. You can only postings to those accounts in a company code with implementation status (Customizing for Asset Accounting, choose Preparing for Production Startup ® Production Startup ® Activate Company Code).

How to test a new transaction type in Asset Accounting?

Hello everybody,
I need to explain how to test if the creation of a new transaction type in Asset Accounting was correct.
In other words, under what condition what should be the expected result.
The requirement was:
Create 2 new transaction types in asset accounting in order to book various business transactions:
- Create a new transaction type in asset accounting in order to book the credit memo.
- Create a new transaction type in asset accounting in order to book the scrapping cost.
And we make it throught AO73 transaction - Define Transaction Types for Acquisitions u2013 and OAYA transaction - Limit Transaction Types to Depreciation Areas u2013
Many thanks in advance,
Alvaro

Hi Alvaro,
I think best is you test a posting with the standard transaction typ delivered by SAP first. For example for credit memo in the aqcuisition year the standard tty is 105. If you post with this transaction type you then can check the document and you will see what line items are posted in which way.
To create your own transaction type:
You can check the customizing in the standard transaction type and then you could copy it to your own transaction type and give it your own name, and which you may then want to limit to certain depreciation areas via OAYA as you rightly pointed out.
For retirement by scrapping I would suggest the same: make a posting using the standard delivered transaction types and then check the document to see how the system posts. The make the required admustments in your own created transaction type copied from the standard transaction type.
I hope this helps,
Kind regards,
Brigitte
