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,

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.

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

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´

Different Asset value dates for different depreciation areas

Hi All
I have a requirement for different capitalization dates in different depreciation areas for some LATAM countries .How can this be achieved?

Hi
Hope you can achive this requirement by entering Depreciation calculation start date in depreciation area tab of asset master against each depreciation area
Depreciation calculation start date
'As a general rule, the system determines the depreciation start date from the asset value date of the first acquisition posting. However, you can also manually enter a calendar date in the asset master record for the start of depreciation. In that case, the system ignores the asset value date of the acquisition posting.'
Please check different scenarios in development system and then do it

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.

Different Transaction Types for Different Depreciation Areas

Dear Friends,
When I am viewing the asset explorer for the asset, it is oberved that for book derpreciation 01, the asset transaction type "acquisition value" is updated and am able to view the same.
However when I am going through the tax depreciation area, the transaction type intercompany transfer" got updated and the acquisition values are not updated.
I would like know the reason of how the system is going to update different transaction types in different depreciation areas since the postings only takes effect in book depreciation and same should be diplayed for tax depreciation.
Thanks in advance!

hi
go to OAYA
select "Limit Transaction Types to Depreciation Areas"
select the trnsaction type you using .
select depreciation area specification
and maintain entries for every dep area you want to maintain for transaction type.

Depreciation run for specific depreciation area

Hi,
In AA, we defined 2 depreciation area for all the assets class, one for local(01), another one for group(30). all the area will be posted to FI.
according to requirement, we would like to stop specific depreciation area depreciation run for certain asset(not asset class). this means that for depreciation area 01, it will be work, but for 30, it should be stopped. may be 3 months later, this asset will be restart run depreciation for area 30.
Would anyone know how to do that? thanks.
Ben

Hi
Hope you have to change the Config settings then.
Go to AO21 and select your screen layout and double click Field Group rules and under FG 18 you have Deactiv. area make this enrty optional and also select the check box MnNo.
Save the entry.
Come back to AS02,now the dep area will be available for deactivation.
Good Luck

Avoid depreciation posting for a depreciation area

Hello experts,
I have the following problem:
I created a new valuation area for fixed assets that is to be active since 31.12.2007. Values are going to be uploaded for the new area in this transfer date. Afterwards, depreciation for years 2008, 2009 and 2010 is to be run in order to post the depreciation of the new area during these years but I don´t want any depreciation to be posted in area 01 by any means, because for this area depreciation is already posted. I know that no depreciation shoud be posted because planned depreciation is already equal to real depreciation in area 01 but just in any case I would like to avoid depreciation to be posted in this area.
So, I thought about shutting down the asset for area 01 but when testing it. I don´t see the efect, I mean the asset keeps depreciating. I put the shutdown flag in the asset master data and also created a new depreciation key, to assign a different key depending on depreciation area. For the area I need sutdown, shutdown indicator is set to "yes" at the assignment of calculation method (transaction AFAMA) but for the depr. area I don´t need the sutdown indicator is set to "no" .
Is it a good idea to use asset shutdown in this case or is there any risk of area 01 trying to adjust the already posted depreciation?
Why shutting down the asset is failing since I configured both asset master master and depr. key?
Is there another solution (different to shutdown) to avoid posting depreciations in area 01?
Thanks in advace, rmb

Hi,
my last answer was wrong - I'm sorry.
Shutdown is the correct solution.
For shutdown there are 2 settings relevant.
1) in Asset master date you hav set the flat shotdown.
2) In depr. Key you have not set "Shutdown. Yes"
      ad 2)
AFAMA:
Depr. Key
    -> Assignment of Calculation Methods
     -> please see the last field below.
For sure I would not change the standard depr. key, i would make a copy.

Accounts for different depreciation areas

Hello all!
I have the following question:
In our company there are 3 depreciation areas for assets. And my problem is that when I try to look through the accounts in depr.areas, I see the same accounts in all areas as in main one. But the account should be different in accordance to AO90 and dep. areas. When I run ASKBN to provide postings in GL, my accounts in AW01N for areas are not changed - Debit and Credit are the same for all.
I expected t see different account for different areas, Could I get it and how???
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Is your all 3 dep areas will post to GL?
Thanks,
Srinu

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

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.

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.
