Uploading assets in depreciation area

Question

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.

Answer 1

Hi Raj,
The procedure is as follows:
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.         
Encluded note 317806.
