Post-capitalization vs subsequent acquisitions

Hello everybody
What´s exactly the difference between Post capitalizations and subsequent acquisitions?
According to what I´ve read Post capitalizations are for closed fiscal years. When I´m choosing the Original Value date (ABNAN) the system sends an error message if I write a date of the current fiscal year, however, when I post the document the system changes the Original Value date to the first date of the current year. That does´t make any sense to me.
So, if it´s impossible to post with an Original Value date with a difrerent fiscal year than the posting date, why should I ever use Post-capitalizations over subsequent acquisitions?

Asset Post capitalization.....

HI Experts,
Please clarify me on the below issue...
1. Asset post capitalization means, if we forgot to capitalized asset for the closed fiscal year, then we have procedure to capitalize those assets... that will be calling as post capitalization of Asset..
Am i right?
2.Is it possible to create a sub asset (post capitalization asset) with the same capitalization date of main asset?
If it possible, is the system will calculate depreciation from the beginning?
Thanks in advance
satya

Dear,
Post Capitalization is for.....
Post-capitalization represents subsequent corrections to the acquisition and production costs of a fixed asset. An example of when you need this type of correction is if you neglected to add expenditures and costs linked with the acquisition or assembly of an asset to its APC in a fiscal year that is now closed.
2.Is it possible to create a sub asset (post capitalization asset) with the same capitalization date of main asset?
Yes.
And it must calculate depreciation from that date.

Subsequent acquisition in the first year of life of an asset and ...

Hi all,
so I have a problem with asset depreciation values regarding subsequent acquisition. The current setup is the following:
APC = 100.000
Acquisiton date = 01.05.2009.
Date of first depreciation = 01.06.2009.
Monthly value of depreciation = 333,33
Total year depreciation = 4000
Useful life 25 years
Now I want to post an additional acquisition of another 100.000 and it is posted on 1.07.2009. meaning the first depreciation period will be 01.08.2009.
The problem is that on the 01.08.2009. the depreciation amount is 1.333,33 and on 01.09.2009. it is 666,66 and it should be in both months 666,66, leaving the rest to be depreciated at the end, prolonging the useful life if necessary. So if anyone has an idea how to solve this I would be very thankful!
Best regards,
D.

Post-Capitalization of Cash Discount for Asset

Hi,
We are in ECC 6.0 and have activated Document Splitting.
Further, have provided asset field in Define post capitalization of cash discount to assets in Document Splitting of SPRO.
After the both, my expectation is to see the entry as stated by SAP in the scenario of Post-Capitalization of Cash Discount for Asset.
But unfortunately, the discount amount is not being capitalized on the payment date, but is being posted to cash discount account.
Kindly let me know what mistake i might have carried for this.
Thanks and Regards,
Purna.
Scenario: Posted invoice for asset purchase using F-90 with payment terms as 2% cash discount if paid within 15 days.
Assume: Asset purchased on 06.01.2012 and as per the payment term if paid before 20.01.2012 i will get 2% cash discount.
Have made the payment to vendor using T-code F-53 on 10.01.2012, even though i see a cash discount is being calculated as required, but the account is an cash discount received account. Instead, what i was expecting is the asset account.
Hope, my question is being clear and i will look forward for a reply.

Hi,
Please check your config below.
IMG->FA->AA->Transactions->Acquistions->Prevent Subsequent Capitalisation of discounts...
If the indicator is set for your company code, system will not capitalised the subsequent discounts.

Credit memo for subsequent acquisitions in Fixed Assets

According to the Fixed Asset help file - section Credit memo for Subsequent Acquisitions it Says " Fixed Assets *DOES NOT* allow posting a credit memo for a subsequent acquistion. What are the exactt circumstances in which Fixed Assets will block these credit memos. I have added subsequent Acquisitions and Fixed Assets appears to allow credit memo's where depreaction has not been run and also where depreciation has not been run. How does this blocking mechanism work?

Hi John
It appears that there is no good answer to your question. From my undertstanding, the SAP Fixed Assets add-on is a very basic solution, and does not anticipate many of the changes that can occur once an Asset is acquired. Frankly, it is pretty basic when handling the initial acquisition.
Not that this will help you with this particular install, but the Fixed Assets add-on from B1 Fixed Assets LLC does a very thorough job of creating Assets, where you can use any or all of Invoices, Credit Memos, and Journal Entries, mixing and matching to create the Asset. Once the Asset has be added, making Cost Adjustments is almost as thorough, and provides considerably more options to recognize the Cost Adjustment. You can see a viedo of a relatively simple Asset Acquisition on YouTube (www.youtube.com/b1fixedassets).
Let me know how you get this issue resolved - I am very interested.

Catch-up depreciation for the Subsequent Acquisitions in later years

Dear expert,
We have the following scenario:
First an asset master record is created and it receives an acquistion value at the date 2013-08-09.
The next year, we find there's something wrong with the acquistion value, so we make the subsequent acquisition at the date 2014-04-05. Refer to my country's Accounting Standard the sebsequent acquisition need a catch-up depreciation to be calculated based on the ordinary depreciation start date on the asset master data.
As the asset value date of the sebsequent acquistion must be the same year with the posting date and the configuration of the Period Control Methods can not meet the requirement.
Is there any configuration or enhancement can meet the requirement.

Hi Zhuo
If you want to increase the asset value i.e. the Value posted earlier was less
Go to ABNAN, Choose Value Date = 2013-08-09 and Doc Date / Posting Date = Date of Current year
CHoose T Type = 401, and you can also enter a Off-Setting GL of your choice
This will catch up the Depreciation from last year 08/2013 to 12/2013 .
After ABNAN, when you do AFAB, the depreciation for Jan-2014 to May 2014 will be catched up
If you want to reduce the asset value,
Do ABGF

Revenue from post-capitalization from transaction ABNAN

I am working for a local governmental entity, and I am trying to add assets to our system that should have been recognized as acquisitons in previously closed fiscal years. I understand that the transaction I should be using is ABNAN, post-capitalization, however; a problem that I'm running into is, after I post the transaction and perform the next step, transaction ASKB, to post full and contra accrual account postings, I get the following error message: "Revenue from post-capitalization could not be found". We do not have that account set up, nor do we think it's applicable. These are not donated assets from outside our organization, these are simply assets that did not get captured through our normal acquisition processess. Is there a way to run transaction ABNAN and not get this message? Might this be something that can be changed through configuration? Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your help and information Kartik. We are almost done with this being resolved. In the process of creating the assets using AS91 we are encountering an error message regarding the Date of the Legacy Data Transfer. This date is currently 06/30/05. Since we want to use a capitalization date of 06/30/07, is there any negative impact on changing this transfer date to 06/30/07? Changing the date in a test environment allows us to proceed but I wanted to make sure there were no negative impact since we are not familiar with the purpose of this date.

Difference between post-capitalization and write-up of an asset

Dear Experts,
Kindly explain the difference between post-capitalization and write-up of an asset in SAP.
Regards
Komal

Hi Komal,
Post Capitalization means correction of the value of an asset, which is either set too low due to not carrying out a capitalization in the past, or which is treated entirely as expense.
where as Write up is the reversal of past depreciation and write-up is necessary either when the depreciation posted was too high or when the reasons for unplanned depreciation no longer exist.

Related to post capitalization of assets

hi friends,
i am tryind to do the ABNAN(Asset transaction -post capitalization), when i entering the current date as original value date it throwing the error "The date entered is not in a closed fiscal year" and if i am trying to enter the 2006 date i.e. last fiscal year it throws the error as below
SYST: Error when caclulating fiscal period --> F1
Message no. AA655
Diagnosis
An error occurred while determining the fiscal period 00000000 in period version Z1.
Procedure
There are three things which could lead to this error:
1. The period version Z1 allocated to the company code has not been created. In this case, you should create the period version.
2. The period version has been created, however the allocation of calendar dates to the fiscal periods has not been correctly performed or in particular with calendar-dependent period versions has not been completely performed. Check whether the date entered 00000000 for period version Z1 has been maintained and enter the missing period.
3. The calendar date 00000000 is invalid. This is a system error. Contact your Systems Specialist.
can you please help me out and this is very urgent for me.
Thanks nd Regards

Hi
Pls run the depreciation run AFAB again. The system should post the depreciation on remaining assets. Even after this you are not able to post depreciation, then use manual depreciation to post the depreciation using t code ABMA
Pls assign points if the information is useful to you

Group Assets Post Capitalization

Hello Gurus,
I had attached an asset xxx to the group asset 111 for post capitalization. The closed fiscal year is 2007. The capitalization date for both the group asset 111 and the asset xxx in the asset master I had put in as 11/30/2007. now when I try and do a post capitalization in the year 2008, the system does not calculate the depreciation for the period 12 in the year 2007 to be posted as the value adjustment in the year 2008 (as yr 2007 is closed)
Where as for the other asset yyy which is not attached to the group asset, the system calculates the depreciation for period 12 and posts the amount as the value adjustment in the yr 2008.
I have checked the configuration and I does not see any thing remaining to be done. Does any one have any idea in this regard.
Thanks
Amit

Hello, Thanks for a quick reply, but
Few of checks you can do:
(1) post-cap check box was checked during creating the asset xxx -
Not checked for asset yyy as well but getting calculated for it
(2) asset xxx posted with ABNAN - Yes
(3) correct deprec key with period control in the cap year (period control should not indicate to start depreciation from next year) - Same depreciation key for asset yyy as well, getting calculated for it
(4) Optionally, you can post unplanned depreciation ABAA to your asset xxx for year 2007 in year 2008.- Client does not want to do that.
Please see if there is any other way
Thanks
Amit

1 - Post capitalization mean you are creating the asset in the system, after it has been capitalized (put to use)
hence the depreciation on the asset needs to start from a date prior to current date
also called the capitalization date.
2 - use t-code F.01
