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,
Sandeep

Hi Ramu,
You can define all possible depreciation areas for your asset and then you may activate it or deactivate it using the following path:
Financial Accounting >> Asset Accounting >> Valuation >> Determine Depreciation Areas in the Asset Class
Transaction Code
OAYZ
This can be done irrespective of whether the depreciation area is defined in the Chart of depreciation or not.
Detailed procedure is given in this link

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 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.
Nikhil

Check 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.

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.

Hi,
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.

Uploading assets in depreciation area

Hi
We have a very typical situation. We have assets in area 01. They have a Gross Book Value and Accumulated depreciation on them. But these assets are NOT in area 22 (local area).
We need to extend these assets to area 22 and then upload the Gross Book Value and Accumulated depreciation balances as on 31.12.2014 in area 01 to area 22.
How can this be done? Our year end is December 31 therefore also consider asset fiscal year end closing. If you can share some document on how this could be done, it would be great.
Will it be better to have the balances loaded with 01.01.2015 instead of Dec 31 2014.
Best wishes
Raj.

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

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.

Activate a depreciation area

In OAYZ for an asset class I have a revaluation depreciation area deactivate (area 44).
Now I must insert with AS91 in a company with the same chart of depreciation new assets in this class but the user want to insert value in this area (area 44) actually deactivate.
If I activate this area there are problems with all the other assets of the other companies that are in this class?
Thank for the reply.
Best regards.
Roby

Hi Roby,
if the depreciation area 44 is active in OAYZ it is available if you create a asset via AS01 or AS91. Then you can deactivate it in AS01 or AS91. This can be done in the tab strip "Deprec. area". If the asset is saved there is no more possibility to activate the areas. So, when you create a asset you can decide if you want to have the area 44 in the asset or not. This has no impact on other assets. If you would deactivate the area in OAYZ it would have a impact on assets which you create up to now, but not on already created assets. If a asset is already created it is not that easy to implement a new area. (Then there would be a little bit complicate procedure with RAFABNEW).
Hope this clarify your question.
regards Bernhard

Re activating Depreciation area

Hi Experts,

RAFABNEW can only be executed by chart of depreciation.
It cannot be executed by company.

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.

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.

How to include depreciation are in asset master data

I have already activated depreciation area in the asset class but it did not appear inn asset master data.
How to include it there?
Tks,
Naej

Hi,
There are 2 aspect which you need to consider.
1) For exisiting asset as used AFBN as suggested by Srinivasa to activate the depreciation area.
2) For new asset OAYZ configuation would populate the dep key and life.
Thanks

Different Year of closing in different Depreciation Areas

Hello Asset Gurus, we are on ECC 5.0 and we did in 2009 activate a new depreciation area 32 in two of our chart of accounts to make them same as the other two chart of deprections for easy inter-company asset transfers. We did use AFBN to activate this new depreciation area and completed year-end.
However we were implementing SRM project usings a parallel quality system and in the process, somehow got the fiscal year closed for depreciation area to be 2007 instead of 2009. The OAAQ show that the fiscal year close for all company codes is 2009 but OAAR show that the fiscal year closed to be 2007 for depreciation are 32.
We need to resolve this before we get this year-end and want to know if you guys have any idea in during this directly in the production system using OAAR or some other transaction and what are the draw backs, if any.
Thanks for your feedback.
Joseph Teli

ji,
You can change the last closed FY for a single dep area direclty in OAAR.
Hope your FY is APR to March
Then first close the FY 2009 by AJAB.
And open Fy 2010 by AJRW
Now change the last closed FY to 2007 in OAAR for 32 area.
No other implications in this regard till the next year end closing of FY 2010. Means to open FY 2011 in AJRW in next year, you must close Fi-AA till FY 2009 atleast. Coz you can open only 2 years at a time in FI-AA.
Thanks,
Srinu

Fixed asset Write up Error. ABZU(Parallel depreciation area 32 is not poste

Hi Sap Gurus,
      I am running into an error when trying to post a write up via "ABZU". Here is the error message "Parallel depreciation area 32 is not posted". Message no. AA565.
Diagnosis
The asset to be posted does not manage parallel depreciation area 32, or transaction type that you are using is limited to certain depreciation areas, and does not contain depreciation area 32. This is incorrect.
System Response
Posting is rejected.
Procedure
Check the asset and the transaction type.
I tried "Limit Transaction Types to Depreciation Areas" in t-code:OAXE for derpeciation area 01 and 32 but still i am getting the same error. I am using ttype:700. When i look into derpeciation tab in asset master record i have depreciation area 32 is there. Is there any configuration piece i am missing. We are using area 32 as IFRS in group which is copy of 01.
Any help will be appreciate.
Thanks and Regards,
Babu

Hi,
There are the following reasons:
1) The wrong transaction type is being used. Please verify that you are using transaction type in the 700 series for your write-up.
2) The transaction type is restricted to certain depreciation areas.   In transaction OAXE the transaction type can be restricted to post only to certain areas. If the asset manages a parallel area you have to extend the posting to include the parallel area.
3) The asset was created before you introduced parallel currencies and does not manage the parallel area. In this case, the parallel area must be created on the asset or the values need to be transferred to a new asset that manages the parallel area.
4) Transacion types 600 and 601 can only be used for assets that have a calculation key in their depreciation area that allows no automatic calculation (for example depr key MANU). The unplanned transaction types however can be used with assets that allow automatic calculation.
You also need to verify that there are entries in Table ANLB for the asset in question for the depreciation area.
5) Your company code uses parallel currencies (currency types 10-co.code currency, 50-Index based currency, 30-Group currency...for example). The assets created in this company code must have the depreciation areas for parallel currencies active. You can only do this in activating the depreciation areas with parallel currencies for all the asset classes used in this company code.
Check transaction OAYZ to make sure the areas are activated for all asset classes in the co.code. If not, you will need to       activate these areas and ensure the asset has all areas assigned.

Updating fully depreciated assets during creation of subsequent depreciation area

I am subsequently adding multiple depreciation areas in SAP. The system has been live for many years with a legacy system handling the depreciation for the tax books via dual maintenance. I have been able to bring in the new areas via AFBN without issue except for one thing. Many of these assets are fully depreciated in Book01 in SAP but they have remaining tax life. The problem is when the asset is fully depreciated and I assign it cost or try to make a change in the depreciation area tab it automatically fully depreciates those values.
Has anyone ran into this before? What options are there to provide a solution?
To recap; Want to add tax book values to assets already live in SAP. Issue is assets already fully depreciated. Any adjustment to keys and UL on them results in a calculation but regardless it fully depreciates whatever that amount will be.
Many thanks,
Jack

Hi Jack,
I suppose, there are some settings somewhere, which do not allow the asset to have values.
Presumption:
1) AFAMA - Base method -Treatment of end of life: In the depreciation key: there is not "dep. after pland. life end" allowed
2) In OADB there are wrong settings (perhaps no positive acquisition values allowed)
3) Perhaps this is constitutional area and in OADB there is rule for the derived area which is broken.
Best regards Bernhard
