New Depreciation Area - AFBN
Dear Experts,
My user has given a new scenario where we have to calculate tax depreciation for assets transferred from US books to SG books. When the transfers were executed, the tax depreciation area was not set up in the SG books' Chart of Depreciation. We do have other company codes assigned to the same chart of depreciation. For these other company codes, tax depreciation calculation is not required. In addition, the transferred assets and the assets in the other company codes share the same asset classes. The requirement is that we want to calculate the tax depreciation in the SG book only but not the other company codes.
Initially, we are looking at setting up the tax depreciation area in the SG book and activate the depreciation area via AFBN (program RAFABNEW). This will activate the tax depreciation area for all existing assets under the chart of depreciation/asset class assignment. However, we found out that we could not deactivate the depreciation area in the existing assets in the other company codes. This is regardless of whether we activate the field XAFBE (deactivate depreciation area) in the depreciation area layout. Seems that this only works with new assets.
Would like to seek your advice on the options available other than creating new asset classes for these transferred assets.
Is it possible to enhance the program RAFABNEW to include company code and asset classes?
Thank you.
This is another option that I used on that scenario, but it is up to you if you want to follow the same approach. We created a custom program that will put a temporary deactivation date on the assets the we do not want to extend the new book. Basically this is direct update on field ANLA-DEACTIV.
Then we run AFBN, since the assets are deactivated, new depreciation area will not be created on these assets, but only on those assets that are active.
Then you can set the deactivation date again back to "Blank" after you run AFBN.
Thanks!

New Depreciation Area tobe added to the existing Assets
Hi,
I had Run OAYZ to activate a depreciation area for a Asset Class
I run AFBN to add this new depreciation area to the existing assets.
When I go to Assets Explorer (AW01N) I get following area
Values for Ordinary deprec. have changed in dep. area 13 in fiscal year 2007
Message no. AU390
Diagnosis
Depreciation terms were changed in depreciation area 13 since the last
time depreciation was recalculated. The values for Ordinary deprec. that
were saved in the database in fiscal year 2007 are therefore different
from the newly calculated values by an amount of
476.41-.
Procedure
Check if the newly calculated values are correct. If they are, then
carry out a depreciation recalculation. You should be aware that if you
recalculate depreciation, new values could arise for all open fiscal
years, and these would then have to be posted to the general ledger by
means of a depreciation posting run.
If, on the other hand, you want to keep the values that are saved in the
database, you have to set the depreciation terms back to how they were
at the time of the last depreciation recalculation.
To see a comparison of the old and new values, you can use the Display
dep. calc. function in the asset value display or the Recalculate values
function in the Asset Accounting menu.
Proceed
Now if I try to click on proceed and recalculate the depreciation (AFAR) the system gives error
40001 0 WRK SURF FOR RDQ WRKPROJCT RMS-RSCH DATA OP. 2007 Error
in dep. calculation
Message no. BL001
Pl. guide me for the same.

[email protected]Hi Sanjay,
Execute T Code AFBN and add the new depreciation areas to the existing assets. This will add the new dep area to all the assets under the particular char of depreciation.

New Depreciation Area in Asset Master Data, for assets under construction.
Hi,
The issue is relating to New Depreciation area. We have created new Depreciation area as 80=IFRS. We had followed three steps
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 u2013 Indicator: Leave values initial = ticked. Set this indicator if you want to open the newly created depreciation area without any values i.e. blank.
In this we have find that the old assets value has been copied. But when we are doing internal order settlement through KO88 i.e. from pre-cap to AUC we are not finding new Depreciation area 80=IFRS in AUC. We had checked in AW01N.
Letu2019s assume that creating a new deprecation area is normally not required since these assets are not depreciated. But During the final settlement, the new depreciation area should also automatically supplied with values from the reference depreciation area from the AUC(assets under construction) in the completed assets. But we doesnu2019t find any values of in Dep Key = 80 IFRS for final assets.
In Assets Class of AUC we had used Investmnet Measure as Status of AUC.
Kindly provide solution for the same.
NikhilCheck Transfer Variant 5 (under Transactions->Intercompany Asset Transfers->Automatic Intercompany Asset Transfers->Define Transfer Variants):
5 Investment measure settlement
Your Transfer Method is most likely 1 now (without transfer to dependant areas), change it to:
4 Gross method with transfer of values to dependent areas
This should help. -
Value 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. But earlier when I did the testing in quality the transaction type was 310 for both the areas.
In AFBN, the check box Leave initial value was unchecked initially and when I ran it again I result was processed 0 and error 0. I reversed one asset and transferred to new asset class containing both depreciation area again. But again the value in depreciation area 11 is Nil.
Please help.
Thanks,
SangramHi Sangram
Since you are already executed AFBN with the option "Leave initial values", you cannot update the records now, as the table entries have already would have got created in tables ANLB,ANLC, etc.
Now if you want to copy values from other depreicaiton areas to new dep area, one option is to copy a ZZZAFANEW1 by doing a small modification (that is by changing all ABAP commands INSERT to UPDATE) and execute this program. This will update the values from the source depreciation area to target depreciation area, even if table record already exists.
This code is available in SAP note no.317806
Test it thoroughly before using it in Production client. Also take care to enter a correct source and target depreciation area to avoid further problems.
Hope this helps.

FI-AA new depreciation area - treatment depreciation previous years
Hi,
In the FI-AA module , next to the already existing depreciation area 01 for Fiscal reporting with full integration of postings to FI-GL, I have created a new depreciation area 20 for te purpose of Management reporting which takes over its APC values from depreciation area 01 and does only post different Depreciation values to FI-GL.
Subsequently I updated the data for the new depreciation area in teh already existing asset master data records ( different depreciation keys).
The depreciation calculation and resulting postings for the current year are correct.
However I wonder what will happen with the data for the previous years;
when i look in the asset explorer i do see for the new depr area in the "posted values" tab that it reports for the previous years planned depreciation amounts . However we do not want to post these amounts in the previous years because these years have already been closed and audited.
Will we be able at the end of this fiscal year to changeover FI-AA to the new fiscalyear ( transactions AJAB, AJRW) without the system complaining with error messages that we first need to also perform the depreciation postings for all the previous years in this new depreciation area ?
Many thanks in advance for your much appreciated help.
Kind Regards,
ArjanCan you please tell me how you added the new depreciaton area to the existing asset masters in those classes ? To get the new depreciation area to show up? We just did the same thing and we're only working with assets that were acquired this year - but we can't get the new depreciation area added to the assets that already existed in those classes. If you figured out how to do that it would sure help us out. I look forward to your response. We're in 4.7.
Thanks
Karla
Never mind found it from reading other posts. I used AFBN and it worked. Thanks

New Depreciation Area after go-live
Hi Gurus
We are on ECC 6.0 in a production environment having gone live in April 2008.
We had gone live with only Depreciation Area 01. Other depreciation areas were de-activated. We have a requirement now to create a new depreciation area 15 for Income Tax Depreciation. We have activated the Dep Area 15 & did the necessary configuration including activation of group assets. We have run the program AFBN for creating new Dep Area. We have created a couple of assets which are also working fine.
However, when we try to update the depreciation values for assets (using AS92) which are already gone live from April 2008, we encounter a problem. We cannot change the depreciation key for Dep Area 15. Also, the group asset field is deactivated for gone live assets. But it works fine for assets created afresh.
Please help.
RegardsHi,
You have to select specific asset classes for group assets via the config.
and you can set default dep keys at asset class level. via config. (maintain dep keys for dep area 15)
Please check and revert back.
Thanks,

Adding new depreciation area to assets
Hi,
1.I created a new depreciation area 13( tax depreciation) . When I am executing the transaction AFBN for adding this depreciation area to all the assets, first I am getting the error message
+/- sign rule for the new depreciation area is too restrictive
Message no. AU 113 " and
" Closed fiscal years for areas 01 and 13 differ by more than 1 years ".
2. I am in 4.6C and in OAAR, for depreciation area 13 the closed fiscal year is 2002 and for all others 2007.
3. The OSS note 421549 is already implemented.
Any help for resolving this is highly appreciated.
thanks
Srinivasa VepaHii
as u said the message says that the closed fiscal year for dep.area 01 and 13 is more than one year.
and u also state that the fiscal year close for dep area 13 is 2002 and for all others is 2007.
so first step u need to do is to close the fiscal year for dep. area 13 till 2006.
here the functionality of AA works like it allows only 2 fiscal year to be open at the same time.. so as the dep. area 13 is open since 2003 it will give u an error..
so please try to close all this and i m sure it will solve ur query......
thanks

The pre- requisite for creation of depreciation area are
- Reporting of depreciation as per different laws i.e in india, we need to report depn as per Ind accounting standards, as per income tax act, etc
- Whether we are using parallel currency or not for that company code.

Re activate depreciation area: AFBN/RAFABNEW
Hi Experts,
We are trying to re activate an old depreciation area. I came across a note explaing how AFBN can help re activate. But the job RAFABNEW runs for chart of depreciation. I want to know if this can be configured to run for one company code.
Thanks,
SandeepHi Ramu,
You can define all possible depreciation areas for your asset and then you may activate it or deactivate it using the following path:
<b>Financial Accounting >> Asset Accounting >> Valuation >> Determine Depreciation Areas in the Asset Class</b>
Transaction Code
<b>OAYZ</b>
<i>This can be done irrespective of whether the depreciation area is defined in the Chart of depreciation or not.</i>
Detailed procedure is given in this link

Add depreciation area to old assets (revaluation area)
Hi guys,
I've created a new depreciation area for setting revaluation of assets. This new dep area only contains revaluation of assets (we'll only have revaluation and depreciation of this revaluation in this new area), so I've configured it to manage only revaluation values. Acquisition values are not allowed.
In OABC i've put "00" in the area where this new area takes values from, due to i don't want thhis new area to copy acquisitions values from area 01.
I've made the rest of the configuration also, to support revaluation transactions (mov 800) in this new area. But, I've got 2 problems now:
1. The new area i configured is missing when creating a new asset in AS01. However, when using AS91 the new area shows up. Any idea of why this happens that way?
2. I cannot add the new area in old assets. When using AFBN a message appears: "Depreciation area 20, which you want to create as a new depreciation area in chart of depreciation PVPE, has no depreciation area defined for value takeover. This may be be correct for normal operation, however for the purposes of creating a new depreciation in the productive system, you have to enter a depreciation area whose values are used as base values for the new area."
Message makes sense, because my new area is not copying values from any area (in tcode OABC i defined 00 as dep area source). The question is.. is there any additional tcode where i can add the new depreciation area to old assets?
Thanks in advance.
EduardoHi,
there are the following steps:
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.
The system will copy all the past years 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.
