Transfer of existing assets to new asset class

Hello Experts,
We are working in a one-year old implementation of SAP ECC 6.0. A need has raised which is forcing us to transfer an asset with some Depreciation areas (we are currently working with ten areas between Real Depreciation Areas and Derived Depreciation Areas) to a new asset belonging to a new asset class with fewer areas.
We created the new Asset Class and tested in the quality environment using transaction ABUMN. An example was transferring an asset with two months of depreciation already posted and transferring this one to the new asset at the beginning of the next month.
The main issue is that we desire that the original asset keeps posting depreciation for the areas that are not transferred. Unfortunately, in our tests in the quality environment we have not accomplished this, what the system does is transfer the values to the new asset and then when you run transaction AFAB the new asset does post depreciation in the fewer areas that the Asset Class it is assigned to has but the original asset does not post any depreciation in any area.
We tried maintaining the Transaction Types for Transfers that were used by the system by deselecting the 'Deactivate fixed asset' but it did not work and then we tried creating our own Transaction Types but this also was of no use.
Hope you can shed some light into the issue!

Dear Sankar,
Thanks for such a quick reply. I have already considered that (SAP forcing you to transfer the whole asset) as a possibility. Unfortunately, as I have already mentioned here at our implementation we need something like this to happen.
Let me elaborate. For the fiscal Depreciation Areas we are required to keep the original information on the asset so that the depreciation that is calculated does not change but conversely for the other areas we desire to change the depreciation that is calculated and posted (for example, some assets will suffer a change in the useful life others might merge into one big asset, etc.) but what we definitely need is to keep the original information in the fiscal areas so we can keep reporting that and therefore can keep paying the correct amount to our local tax authorities.
As I mentioned before I have already considered that as an option. So what we thought was duplicating the assets (through a mass charge of all our assets with the current values), then transferring the 'clones' to assets with fewer Depreciation Areas (we will eliminate the Fiscal Areas since this new assets will be only useful for the non-fiscal depreciation calculation which is the one that will change).
To sum up: the clones will not generate depreciation because when transferred they will be worthless. The assets they were transferred to will generate the non fiscal depreciation.
And finally on the original assets we will deactivate the non-fiscal Depreciation Areas so that these assets continue to calculate the fiscal depreciation.
I would really appreciate your opinion on this strategy or if you think it is a bad or incorrect strategy I would appreciate even more an advise on this matter.
PS. a little doubt now also strikes me: what is the "Deactivate Fixed Asset" in the Transaction Type definition for?

Your games are stored on the Words with friends server, they should automatically load into your updated app when you sign in / login.

What's the best way to transfer ALL existing content to new iPhone?

Because "Backup" and "Restore from Backup" have not worked for me in the past. I don't want to have to re-create all of my existing app data - passwords, logins, game progress, etc. I'm not worried about email and contacts, as those are easily synced from Google - but losing the rest of my data again after "Backup and Restore" operations has me nervous about upgrading to 4s.

Yes, but I think the process is different between auto-syncing an iPhone and manually managing an iPhone.
If you auto-sync your iPhone you'll be prompted about purchases on your device which do not yet exist in your iTunes library. You would normally choose to transfer these purchases, then the auto-sync proceeds as usual and a backup of your iPhone is made with each auto-sync.
If you manually manage the iPhone's contents, just connecting it to iTunes may not automatically initiate these processes. If you just want to drag and drop a playlist from your library to the iPhone, purchases may not be transferred and a backup may not be created. But if you click the Sync button then these two things do happen. If you don't have any new purchases on the iPhone, you can either click Sync or Create Backup to just create a backup of the iPhone.

Transfer assets from one asset class to another having different depreciation keys.

Hi Gurus,
     I am a noob in FICO, and I am facing a problem while transferring assets from one asset class to another.
Below is the scenario.
I created two assets 100000000000-0 under asset class 4690a and 200000000000-0 under asset class 4690b. And I am trying to transfer the
asset from class 4690b to 4690a by selecting the option ‘New Asset’ in the transaction ABUMN. While doing this, I am receiving an error message as below.
'Posting with trans. type 300 not possible (No acquisition posted).'
     Message No. AA324.
Diagnosis:
     Transaction type 300 belongs to a transaction type group, which can only be used to post to assets to which posting has already been performed. However, no postings have been made to this asset.
Procedure:
     Use a transaction type from a transactio type group, which can be used for the first acquisition to an asset.
The error is related to the transaction type which I hadn’t explicitly created anywhere. But, when checked in transaction AO76, the transaction type 300 belongs to the transaction type group 30. In this group I am not able to find any solution related to the error.
Moreover, in some of the threads in SCN, I read that modifying the transaction type group might lead to something fatal.
Kindly help me in the below.
1. What exactly the error message is related with?
2. Is there any other method to transfer the asset to another class?
Please let me know if any further details are required regarding the scenario.

Hi ,
I understand that you want to transfer the old asset to new asset with different asset class with different depreciation keys and the old asset is not yet capitalized and does not have any Asset Values.
Assuming that since the First Asset is not yet capitalized, that seems to be that its just that ASset Master is created and no Asset Values appear in the Asset.(in other words no acquisition, capitalization, no dep. start etc.)..
Alternatively this asset can be advised to be blocked and flagged for deletion and create a new Asset in the new Asset Class and then capitalize the new asset by doing the acquisition according to the business process i.e. either via PO based process(GR) or Non PO based process.
The transfer of asset is required incase the old asset still have the values and you are transferring the old asset to new one with the left over values.
Also would request you to kindly share some screenshots of the AW01n of the old asset and screenshots of the AS03 to have more idea on it and provide a better solution to the same..
Warm Regards,
Vineet

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.

Create new depreciation class for the existing asset

Dear Experts,
Please explain step by step:
1. How to create a new depreciation class for the existing asset
2. How to make a asset transfer to the new asset in the new asset class?
Thank you in advance

Hi,
The pre-requsit of creating a new assets clause :-
1. Co. code assigned to Chart of Dep.
2. Dep areas have been defined
3. GL account no. is not more than 8 digit.
The transfer of an assets within the same co code can be done thru T.code ABUMN.

Transfer assets collectively to new class and create new assets like ABUMN

We need to change the account determination for a few Asset Classes that already have assets with postings. As a result we must create new asset classes and assign a new account determination.
Is there a program that would allow transfer assets collectively to a new asset class and create new assets automatically similar to ABUMN? T-code ABUMN allows you to transfer multiple assets but you must create the new assets first. ABUMN will transfer and create new asset but only does one asset at a time.
There are hundreds of assets with postings to be transferred from the old asset classes to the corresponding new asset classes.
Appreciate whatever input you can provide.

download the asset master data(original) and create new asstes using lsmw or any third party tool also.

Asset Transfer Report with matching new asset number

Hi,
During the past week, our company transferred over 2000 assets from several companies to one company. As a result of the transfer, the tax depreciation keys and tax depreciation life weren't carried over to the new assets. I am wondering if anyone here know how can I generate a asset transfer report with one column listing all transferred out assets and another column listing matching transferred in assets? I used ZFI_INTERCOASTR- Intercompany Asset Transfer, it gave me a transfer report with all the transfer in and transfer out in one column.

Hi,
you can create yourself an ABAP Query on logical database ADA. In node ANEK you have per each (transfer) transaction the information from which asset the transfer was done. With the ABAP Query you can configure your output list completely flexible.

Transfer Prior Year Asset to Multiple new assets

Hello friends,
We are required to breakdown one of our large Expansion Machinery Assets to multiple assets to reflect the main equipment purchased for the project.
There is a transaction in SAP (ABUMN) Transfer with-in Company Code. I think this transaction will work OK, EXCEPT for the following issue:
The Old Asset currently has a book life of 8 years. When we break this asset down, there are a few peices of equipment that we would like to depriciate at 12 years.
If we use Transaction ABUMN (Transfer) the transation will automatically move the % of depr allocation to the $ transfered based on book life of the old asset (8 years). What this will do is show the new asset (that has a book life of 12 years) as being over depriciated.
When this project is completed and the assets have been changed, I would like to show an adjustment in Depriciation Expense.
I am not sure as to which transaction ABAA or ABMA to be used to adjust the depreciation. Or is that I need to tackle this differently.
Please advise.
Regards
Umesh Gothankar

Dear Friends,
Thank you for spending time on my request. As a solution. I have used write-up in Asset Accounting to adjust the additional depreciation which was generated due to change in the useful life of Asset. I have still not done the changes in production system. Can anyone of you please confirm what I have done is correct. so that I can replicate this in our production system.

New asset class not showing in the list (AS01)

Dear Experts,
I have created a new asset class through the following configuration (IMG):
- FA - Asset Accounting - Organization Structure-Asset Class-Specify Account Determination
- Financial accounting --> Asset accounting --> Organizational Structure --> Asset Class --> Define asset classes
- Financial accounting --> Asset accounting --> Organizational Structure --> Integration with G/L --> Assign G/L account
When I would like to create a new asset through AS01 and want to choose the new asset class, there was not a new asset class I've configured before.
Am I miss a step when creating the asset class then?
Please advice.
Thank you.

Hi Putri,
Company code is assigned to Chart of Depreciation.
Just want to make sure that you go to t-code : OAPL first and then input your Chart of Depr.
Afterwards you can go to t-code : OAYZ and activate the depreciation area for your asset class.
All you have done is already ok. So just make sure that you work in the right Chart of Depreciation when you do the OAYZ.
Hope it helps.

New Asset Class Setting

Hello SAP Gurus,
I need to set a new asset class.

Unable to create a new asset

When I try to create an asset using transaction code AS01 I get a message SYST: Asset number 44000000 exists already(Contact your system specialist). The number 44000000 is already an asset and what should have happened was for the system to generate a new asset number. Instead it goes to the beginning of the range of asset numbers that can be assigned to that class. I have aleady checked and there is sufficient room for more assets to be created in that class.

Are you using internal or external no. ranges? If using internal than go to tcode AS08 and check ur current number for the given range. Try skipping 1 number under current number column and check if its working.
If using external number.. than you cannot assign the same number for next asset you are creating.

Can't generate new asset from Shopping Cart in SRM 7.0

Hi, we are using SRM 7.0 Extended Classic with an R3 4.7 backend.
When changing the account assignment to asset and clicking the Create Asset Master button, the system does not return an asset number from R3. No error message is generated except for the one indicating that you must enter an asset number.
We currently use SRM 3.0 and this functionality works fine and the enter an asset number error also comes up before generating the new asset number.
I have populated the attribute ANK in the org structure and the asset classes do show up in the SC. However, after selecting it, it disappears a second later.
Thanks,
Matt

Hi,
This is a known issue with SRM 7.0, SAP released SAP note 1351864 to fix this issue.

Asset Transfer ( Regular asset to AUC asset )

Can we transfer regular asset to AUC asset class.. When I'm going to transfer reguler asset to AUC it gave me following error
"Account 'Acc.dep. accnt. for ordinary depreciation' could not be found for area 01"
Regards
Kesharika

Hi,
You can transfer from normal asset to AUC asset only if you selected the check box trans APC only in Tcode OAY1 within your COD for TTY 300 and 310.
Please test the same in your sand box, i hope it works.
