Posting Unplanned Depreciation when asset net book value is zero

We recently transferred some assets from one company code to another. However, when they transferred, the depreciation all reversed out YTD.
We are now trying to post the YTD depreciation back in under the original company code, but when we try posting unplanned depreciation, the following error message appears -
"In area 01, you can only post manual dep. up to the amount 0.00"
I believe this is because the asset does not have any net book value now.
Any suggestions on how to resolve this?
Many thanks,

Hi Susan,
do you have the option to reverse the transfer postings? If so, you could specify another period control for transfer postings (such as fiscal year start, etc.) in your depreciation key, with which you can influence how much depreciation is left back respectively transferred.
It is correct that you can´t post an unplanned depreciation on the sending asset now, because the net book value would go below zero. As unplanned depreciation does not influence the ordinary depreciation in the year of posting, this value below zero can not be adjusted with a reduction of planned ordinary depreciation.
I am wondering which effect you´d like to have on the sending asset. Did you post a complete retirement? If so, there should be no APC left which you can depreciate on the sending asset. And as the net book value is zero already, which effect do you want to get? You have to keep in mind that the non-depreciated APC will be continued to depreciate (normally) on the receiving asset. But maybe I misunderstood the problem here ...

Assets: Net book value 1

Hi experts,
I got the issue that an asset shouldn't be depreciated totally (0) but the net book value of the assets should remain 1 u20AC.
So in the asset explorer the assets has value 1 u20AC, although the depreciation is finished.
Does somebody know, where I can set it in IMG.
Many thanks and best regards,
Nikolaus

Hi
Please set the value in
IMG-> Asset Accounting-> Valuation ---> Amount Specifications -
> Specify memo Value.

Error when posting unplanned depreciation

Hello,
When posting an unplanned depreciation we are facing an error "In area 01 you can post manual dep upto the amount 0.00".
I checked the depreciation area and in it when for unplanned depreciation changed the setting to postive values but the error persists. I also tried all values and still the error persists. I also checked the transaction type 640 and there also if I made changes to allow postive values the error still persists.
I also want to mention that is not happening if I used another asset belonging to another asset class.
Please let me know if there is something else I am missing out.

Error with message AA640 - Net Book Value positive in area 03

Dear friends,
I have an error " net book value positive in area 03" when creating asset using AS01.
"The Complete error is : Your posting has produced a positive net book value in area 03, This depr area is managed on the liabilities sida. The area can only have negative net book values. It does not manage APC.
i already check my customizing for depreciation area 03 - Special reserves because of spec tax depr , and the setting for special depr already set to Only Negative values or Zero Values.
Please anyone can help me for fix that problem
thanks a lot
Regards
-Silvy-

hi
Since you are indeed working with the depreciation area for 'special reserve', the arithmatic for this derived depreciation area would be ideally tax depreciation area - book depreciation area.
kindly confirm if this the arithmatic used for your depreciation area 03.
if this is not the case please let me know the arithmatic used for the derived depreciation area 03.
thanks

Problem with depreciation posting for an asset with a '0' net book value.

Hi,
I have a problem with depreciation posting on one asset. I think it should not be calculated and posted at all.
On 1st November 2010 (our Fiscal year starts on 1st November) there was acquisition posted to an asset and then it was reversed on the same day - so the net book value was '0'.
In AFAB depreciation run for April 2011 - it posted depreciatoion of 0.01 Euro, so now the book value is -0.01.
Do you know how this could have happened and what can I do to get the value of this asset back to 0?
Thank you,
Karol

Hi Murlidhar,
Thank you for your reply.
I just have one doubt - as depreciation of 0.01 Eur was posted in previous period leaving net value of asset equal to -0.01 Eur.
Shouldn't I get ritd of this asset value before I proceed with the steps you suggested?
I think it is not possible to reverse the depreciation - so I struggle to find a way to bring asset value back to zero.
Thank you,
Karol

Calculation of Depreciation on Net Book Value after posting Revaluation on

How to calculate the depreciation on Net book value after posting Balance sheet revaluation ABAW? The depreciation is been calculated on APC and not on NBV, as the APC of asset has been revalued after the revalution posting, ideally the next period depreciation should be calculating on the new NBV, but the system is not doing this. Is there any specific configuration that Iam missing here.
Kindly Reply.

Incorrect net book value of asset

Hi Experts,
I have a scenario as below :
SAP has recorded an incorrect net book value of asset # xxxxx due to an intial write-off via depreciation expense of a credit balance. Only 1 period of depreciation should be booked.
How it is possible ?
Can any body through some light on this.
Awaiting your reply.
Thanks & Regards
Aditya

Hi,
You would have been posted your question with the actual scenario with values, rather than asking general queries.
Hope you understood what i am trying to say.

Net Book Value - Asset Accounting

Dear Gurus,
I need a clarification regarding Asset uploading in ECC 5.0.
I have uploaded asset balances upto 31.01.07.(Fiscal Year - Apr to March). I have given the acquicition value in the field '***.acquis.val.' and accumulated depreciation upto 31.01.07 in the field 'Accm.ord.deprec'.
When i execute the depreciation for Feb 2007, system is calculation depreciation on net book value as on 31.01.07. But it has to be calculated on the net book value as on 31.03.06.
Please help me in this problem.
Note: Base value - 24 (Net Book Value) in Multi Level Methods.
Thanks & Regards.
Ganesh

Hi Venkat,
When ever you upload asset balances the below two points to be considered.
First, you need to upload the balaces of assets which were not acquired during the current fiscal year(In your case acquired before 31.03.2007)
Secondly, you need to upload the balances of assets acquired during the year (from 01.04.2007 to cut over date (need to be defined in the system)).
You can use LSMW for uploading.

Murali

Which table contains net book value for Assets created with AS91.

Which table contains net book value for Assets created with AS91.
I have a problem locating where the net book value is stored in SAP. Is it simply calculated and not stored in any one place? I am trying to predict how SAP will calculate the net book value for some assets we plan on converting, but my formula doesn't always work consistently and I have not idea what is going on. If it is stored in a table some place, can anyone please let me know!
Thank you all

Hi anar.samadzade & Michael Stewart
It is not possible to directly get net book value of an any Table. You must migrate the gross book value (acquisition cost) and the accumulated depreciation. SAP will then calculate the NBV.
Gross Block & Accumulate Dep you will get from Table: ANLC

Remaining Net Book Value after Settlement and Depreciation Run

Experts,
I have an AUC Asset that has not been settled for two years. After recording additional current year expenses to the AUC (F-90) in December, running depreciation for area 01, and settling the asset to another fixed asset, the December depreciation is being reversed out and a net book value remaining. This is being carried forward to the next year.
Thinking it was an issue with depreciation and current period acquisition postings, all F-90s were reversed and reposted to November and Depreciation again re-ran. The asset was then settled again, only this time the November acquisitions and the December acquisition depreciation postings were reversed and carried forward to the next year.
Any ideas what could be causing this and how to resolve it?
Thanks
Jon

The value date of the settlement was 12/31/2009.

Rounding net book value - Depreciation calculated even 0%

Dear all,
I'm becoming crazy with ERP6.
We are upgrading our SAP from 4.7 to ERP6, EA-FIN is active.
Now if I look the asset explorer or whatever FI-AA reporting with the planned depreciation, I have a difference on the depreciation values, but only for lands ( Depreciation key 0000) - We have set "round net book value at the end of the year", but It seems that now, the system rounds the net book value, even if the depreciation key is 0% . (not the case in 4.7)
please advice
Thanks
nat

Hi,
This has nothing to do with the depreciation key.
If you have flagged in tr. OAYO the following rounding specifications:
Ind: Round net book value
This indicator specifies that the net book value of an asset should be rounded to whole units of currency at the end of the fiscal year.
You specify the type of rounding in the same screen. ...."
.....the system makes this rounding.
But this was also the same in former releases.
regards Bernhard

Transfer of Net Book Value of Assets to Reserves.

Hello,
Due to changes in the Companies Act the useful of several of our assets has expired, but book value of the assets still remain.
I have a requirement where I want to transfer the net book value of such assets to a Reserves G/L account, without effecting the P&L.
Normal asset retirement transactions affect the P&L, i.e. loss or gain.
Is it possible to do this somehow?
Regards,
Pradeep

Hi,
use a transfer variant which uses the net method. That should fulfill the requirement.

Markus
