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.

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

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

Post revaluation to selected depreciation area of an asset

Hi,
We are using depreciation area '01' for posting to GL accounts and '02' for fiscal reporting. It turned out that couple of assets had wrong depreciation key specified for depreciation area '02', which resulted in wrong depreciation calculated for '02' in last 3 years.
We would like to correct it now, once we discovered this issue. One of the ideas was to create new revaluation transaction type which is active only for depreciation area '02', which will only change value of asset in that particuaral area without affecting correct '01',
However, after configuring new transaction type in AO84 and assigning it to '02' depreciation area in OAXJ, when I tried to run ABAW for this asset - it gave me error AA 380.
'Inconsistency between the specifications for transaction type Z11 and for the depreciation areas in chart of depreciation PTI.
Depreciation area 02 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 Z11. This combination is not allowed.'
Is it possible to configure postings only to one depreciaton area? If not - is there any other easy way of revaluating only one depreciation area for an asset.
Thank you,
Karol

Hi Blaz,
Thank you for your reply. I am trying to increase the value of the asset in depreciation area 02, because due to wrong depreciation key it got fully depreciated last year in 02. I want to add the value to 02 which should have not been depreciated in last 2 years. Is there a way to increase its value using ABAA?
Thank you,
Karol

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
Samir

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

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

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´

Posting to only main depreciation area

Hi,
My clients need to post and asset adquisition to only main area (area 01) for the rest of the depreciation areas the asset APC value must remain 0. Problem is that adquisition is made though PS. During settlement (CJ88) every single area gets the same value. So How can I correct that afterwards ? For example using tx ABSO or something like that.
Thanks in advance,
Matias A.

hi,
you have to create a separate movement type and restrict it to area 01 only. You can do it in customizing.

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.

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.

Depreciation area for non leading ledger - Posting

Hi SAP Guru's.
I have one project for migration to new GL ledger with scenario 7.
I had finised configured in SAP system.
I create new depreciation area 41 is for nonleading ledger and need to post to GL ledger.
Now in depreciation area 01 , system had finished dreprciation posting run on period 05 already.
When I run AFAB , system not allow me to repeat post on period 01 , 02, 03 and 04.
Can anyone point me to the solution?
Thanks in advance for your great help.
Regards,
May.

Thanks first.
ASKB was "Periodic Assets posting" but in our IMG the G/L posting indictor of prallel depreciation area was 3 (only post depreciation) and 6(only APC directly).
The setting was configured through the SAP wizard "Setup Areas for Paralle valuation".
Can you give further advice?

Depreciation area not posted

I have one requirement for my new depreciation area 93, the depreciation area 93 will take same value as depreciation area 01,
but using different depreciation key
my detailed requirement is :(1) any asset disposal only post to depreciation area 01 but not 93, how to configure this?
(2). depreciation area 93 need to run monthly depreciation area, we create accumlated depreciation account and Acquisition account for each asset class in depreciation area 93, but these accounts master are not defined as reconcillation account-asset
is it a issue when we run afab for depreciation area 20
(3), when we run askbn, it doesn't adjust accumulated depreciation in depreciation area 93, should we use fb01 to upload accumulated depreciation for depreciation area 93?

Hi,
1) Use a limited transaction type.
2) Should be tested
3)   When opening of new depreciation area via RAFABNEW you have the following flags:
a.     Indicator: Leave values initial = not ticked.
           Do not set this indicator if you want the system
           to copy the values from depreciation area 01.
                                                                                b.     Indicator: Leave values initial = ticked.
           Set this indicator if you want to open the newly created
           depreciation area without any values i.e. blank.

Parallel depreciation area not posted when trying to settle an order.

Hi,
We have requirement of using parallel currencies in one of the cocode.So I havee set up parallel currencies in AA as well.
We have three currencies EUR as Local currency, USD as Group Currency and CHF as Index-based Curremcy.

I have done the consistency check and it shows no errors in depreciation area set up.
When Trying to settle an internal order in KO88 to a fixed asset I am getting the below error message.
*Data inconsistency: Parallel depr. area is not posted Message no. AAPO104*
Diagnosis
For chart of depreciation ZCH, you defined this area (or these areas) as parallel depreciation areas for depreciation area 01. In the current transaction, however, not all of these areas are posted. This is not allowed.
Procedure
Check if the transaction type is limited to certain depreciation areas. If there is such a limitation, add the missing depreciation areas for the transaction type.
Check if the asset that is being posted manages all these depreciation areas.
I have checked the transaction types and they are not limited to any depreciation areas. I have activated depreciatio areas in the asset class and maintained the account determination nad assigned g/l accounts.
Please help me if I have missed any settings.
Thanks & Regards
Nirmala

Hi,
AAPO104 is generally a customizing error: the check points to consider are generally the following regarding parallel currencies: I think you have checked most of them already...
* The parall. dep. area must have the same settings as the original area (e.g. allowing APC).
* The parall. dep. area must set for identical values take over.
* The parall. dep. area must set for identical parameter take over.
* The parall. dep. area must be assigned to the currency type which is defined as parallel in FI in trx. OB22 (e.g. 30).
* The parall. dep. area must be activated in the asset class (transaction OAYZ)
Furthermore, a problem can also be that in OABT you have a parallel area customized, taking value from another area, which is customized and seen in T093. If for example this parall.area is missing on your Asset Under Construction but is there on the final asset this obviously will create the error AAPO104, too.
In any case check your settings are correct in regards to parallel depreciation areas. They must manage same values as original areas. If they don't it cannot be a parallel area.
Maybe you also need to consider the information in SAP note 317806.
Also, looking at your different depreciation areas above, it looks that you have set up a ledger scenario (areas 01 , 02 and 29). I wonder, do you have a correct set up for the parallel currency for your ledger scenario? If I am not mistaken, I don't see a derived parallel currency area. Could this be the problem?

Brigitte

System does not reset asset retirement date for Depreciation Area specific transaction after area has been deleted

Good day,
I needed to create a new depreciation area in a live system. The depreciation area would not post to the GL, but would be used for tax purposes in a currency other than the local currency. When creating this area the asset values were translated at the system exchange rate which did not agree with the values of the manually maintained tax register. I proceeded by creating new transaction types that would only post to the new area, one of which was an asset disposal transaction, which would be used for downward adjustment of the APC value. I made my adjustments at the end of the previous financial year, but had to start over and proceeded to delete the depreciation area to allow me to start over.
After reinstating the depreciation area, my original adjustments were removed, however the assets which APC values needed to be adjusted downward using the disposal transaction, was giving me the AA 478 Posting transaction is not possible (value date not allowed) error.
I've reviewed the asset postings and there is no record of my original adjustment documents. The problem seems to be that field ANLA-ABGDT (Last Retirement Date), is still indicating the date of my previous adjustments and that this was not updated when the Depreciation Area was deleted and reinstated.
Again, I do not have any documents which I can access or reverse to update this table. Is there any way to clear this field without reversing the disposal document?
I'm also looking at implementing SAP note 1618286, to make error message AA478 a warning. I could not implement SAP note 533378 since it only supports component version 46c and we are currently running component verson 605.
I would appreciate your consideration of my problem.
Regards
Marius

If you are in Test System, you can use function module AA_AFABER_DELETE to totally delete the depreciation area (tcode SE37, specify chart of depreciation and depreciation area), After that recreate your depreciation area and run AFBN. But before you do that, have you created a retirement transaction type that limits the posting on your new depreciation area? If not create one.
Hope this helps.
Thanks!
