Hi,
Write-ups are used for correction of depreciation values calculated in
the past (closed fiscal years). It is not possible to post write-ups to
assets that have been acquired within the current year. If you attempt
this, you will receive error AA402. Please review the R/3 Library
documentation for further information. The documentation describes the
procedure for write-ups as well as the two situations where write-ups
can be used.
A write-up is generally understood to be a later change to the valuation
of an asset. This change can take different forms, depending on the
reasons for the change. A write up can only be posted, if there are
accumulated values on an asset, it means the posting of a write up
corrects the depreciation from the past.
For example - The value adjustments (depreciation) that you calculated
in the past were too high. You must now correct this error using a
write-up in the current fiscal year. You can only post a write up, if an
asset has accumulated values.
But again the write-up functionality is designed to change prior year
asset not current year acquired ones.
If manual changes are necessary it may be possible for you to use
transactions ABMA - Manual depreciation or ABAA - Unplanned depreciation
to correct the depreciation amount.
Open the new fisical year and do the write-up from the previous fisical year

Cannot post write-ups

Hi all,
Please help me with this error
AA400
Diagnosis: According to the transaction type you have to post to area 01. However in this area, there is no accumulted depreciation or the write-up depreciation type(s) are not managed in this area.
i have tried to look into existing config and the depreciation area allows unplanned and revaluation with all the accounts maintained.
I just would like to confirm if write up or decrease depreciation to date is allowed only if the asset has an accumulated depreciation value at the start of the fiscal year ony.
Fiscal year is 2008 and asset aquisition date is 2008. Posting write ups is not allowed if i use a value date that is 2008. However, if i enter a different value date which is 2009, writeup can be allowed already.
I just want to make sure that i have the correct understanding.
Please help me. I have a severity 1 issue and need to complete this very soon.
Thanks,
Ritchie

One of the prerequisite for Writeup is that it can only be created for accumulated depreciation (that is, depreciation from previous years).

Problem with posting write-ups in ABZU

Hello,
May I ask for your help on my concern about transaction ABZU? My asset was capitalized on 31.03.2009 and it has depreciated until last month. I would like to delete this asset because it should not have been recognized as ana sset, so my first procedure would be to derecognize the depreciated that was posted.
If I use transaction ABZU and use transaction type 700, I encounter an error that says "You cannot post write-ups". The long text explains that "None of the areas to be posted in accordance with the transaction type entered manages one of the depreciation types entered or cumulative values.".
If I use transaction type 710, I encounter the same error, but the long text says " According to the transaction type, you have to post to area 01. However, in this area, there is either no accumulated depreciation or the write-up depreciation type(s) are not managed in this area.".
I checked transaction OABU, and I could see that the depreciations areas allow unplanned depreciations. I cehcked the asset reports and the asset explorer and I can see that it contains accumulated depreciation.
What could be the reason for the error? Could it be some some settings in other customizing transaction other than OABU?
Thanks in advance for your advice.
Regards,
Peter

Hi peter
In the previous post you have mentioned that Depreciation is being Run from March - June.
iey i said 4 months.
Pass a JV means you post a document Crediting this Asset and Debitting any AUC(or any Expense G/L Account) for the Acquisition Amount.
After that you go and check in AW01N -->Asset Explorer, system will write the the Adjustment entries in all the periods of the useful life.
you then reduce the useful life for 5 months,then you will see the Total of the Depreciation posted for 4 months(it will be positive amount).
why 5months is 4months already Depreciation posted and 1month for running the Adjustment Amount(which is positive so that G/L Account Balances will also be adjusted).
You first try this scenario in test environment, you will be able to know clearly.
Hope you understand.

Venkat

You cannot post to asset 150000 0 (investment support measure)

Hello All,
I am getting Error while doing KO02 Order settlement
I selected Cat - FXA and select asset (asset under construction)
When I am trying to save
You cannot post to asset 150000 0 (investment support measure)
with Message Number Message no. AA311
Regards,
Kiran.

Hi,
You cannot directly include settlement rule for AUC. This is automatically included after settling.
1. Create an Internal Order through KO01 and from that Extras --> Create AUC.
2. Then you post expenses to AUC.
3. You settle the IO through KO88. When you settle the internal order automatically it would be settled to AUC which is in IO.
4. Check the IO you can see the settlement rule with AUC line item
5. Now select FXA rule and select the final asset.
This is will solve your problem and this is the procedure.
Thanks & Regards,

Unable to Close the Purchase order : You cannot post acquisitions to asset

Hi All
Purchase order unable to close due to asset being capitalised and captured in last FY.
We are getting the below error message.
You cannot post acquisitions to asset 125782
Message no. AA394
Diagnosis
You want to post an acquisition to this asset. However, according to depreciation key Z620 that was used, acquisition postings are only possible in the year of the initial acquisition or of the capitalization date.
Procedure
Check the asset number, the asset value date and the transaction type. You have to create sub-numbers for subsequent acquisitions using this depreciation key. However, these sub-numbers cannot adopt their depreciation start date from the main asset number.
Please help us to resolve the issue and how to close the Purchase order.

Hi,
Please notice that error AA394 may be displayed correctly due to customizing settings of the depreciation key in transaction AFAMA when setting field XNAZUG (Acq.only allowed in capitalization year) > YES
The only workaround is to change your settings regarding field 'Acquisition only allowed in capitalization year'   > NO
Also have a look at SAP Note No. 211283 to understand how the flag operates.
I hope this helps to clarify.
Kind regards,
Brigitte

You cannot post to asset in company code 0001 fiscal year 2009

Hello,
I am receving subject mentioned error when I am posting asset to fixed asset. Please advise me to rectify the same. I tried AJRW but couldn't succeed.
Regards,
Prashant

HI
Is your company code - 0001? since generally it is standard SAP company code and system would give such error untill you will execute any of the asset report or transaction with your correct chart of dep and company code, like AS02, if you will try to display any of the asset with your company code , then next time it will allow you to do the transactions.
Further if your company code is 0001 and error is related to your company code only , then please run AJAB for the year 2008 (since you want to post in 2009) in test run and in foreground, it will give you error log , if anything is preventing year close.
Complete the tasks of the year 2008 and close it , open the new year 2009 by AJRW.
Also check the FI period if you are acquiring assets from MM then also check MMPV, all should be open for your desired posting date.
Cheers
Mukta

    values.
But when we tried to post the things in development server, it is working fine and when comes to prd server it is throwing this type of message.. what should we do now.
Is there any settings need to be configured in the system so as to post write up of dep???
Pls advice us to resolve this issue as early as possible....
we are at the end of closing the booking of accounts

Hi,
if it is a newly capitalized asset in the current year change your depreciation settings accordingly. You can only post a write-up if the asset has cumulative depreciation at fiscal year start.

How to write-ups in Asset accounting?

Let me give a senario first:
asset APC : 10000 $
capitalized and APC date: 2000/01/01 (YYYY/MM/DD)
old depreciation method: straight-line, 10% rate, useful life is 10 years.
Now suppose the time is 2002/01/01, company changes the asset useful life to 5 years, in the aim of completely depreciate the asset 3 years later, the problem is the net value of that asset is 8000 $ by the old depreciation method.
new depreciation method: straight-line, 20% rate, useful life is 5 years.
To make the new method possible, the net value of that asset should be 6000 $ now, which means I need to manually post the 2000 $( 8000-6000) as write-ups. I define a new depreciation area and a new transaction type( write-up for new method) in the system, but when I execute T-code ABZU, two messages pop up, one is that " you can not post write-ups " , another is " Contact your administrator (table error) ", detail information below:
1.You cannot post write-ups
Message no. AA402
Diagnosis
None of the areas to be posted in accordance with the transaction type entered manages one of the depreciation types entered or cumulative values.
Procedure
Check the transaction type.

2
Contact your system administrator (table error)
Message no. AA380
Diagnosis
Inconsistency between the specifications for transaction type 700 and for the depreciation areas in chart of depreciation SHDE.
Depreciation area 32 is defined (in Customizing), so that it is required to take over values from area 01. However, one of these ares cannot be posted to, due to the specifications in transaction type 700. This combination is not allowed.
Procedure
In Asset Customizing, maintain the specifications in transaction type 700 for the depreciation areas that can be posted using this transaction.
I want to know whether using write-ups to deal with this business senario is right or not ? And if it's the right way , how to solve the aforementioned problems and make it happen?
Thanks in advance and points will be awarded to those who give the leads.

To post write up in the current fiscal year

Hi,
I am trying to post write up in the current fiscal. However, the system is not allowed to post me. I know that the write-up needs to be posted from the next fiscal year. However, due to the requirement, we need to post in this current and switch off the message. I have already switched off the message in OBA5, but still, I cannot proceed to post with write-up in the current year. Is there a way that I can post this.
The following are the error details.
You cannot post write-ups
Message no. AA400
Diagnosis
According to the transaction type, you have to post to area 01. However, in this area, there is either no accumulated depreciation or the write-up depreciation type(s) are not managed in this area.
Procedure
Check the transaction type.
Regards,
Ravi

Hi Ravi,
A write up can only be carried out if you have cumulated depreciation   values (from previous years). In the current fiscal year depreciation should be posted the 'normal' way. Write ups mean that too much depreciation was posted in a previous year and that you will correct this in the current year. Therefore, the system does not allow posting write ups if there exist no cumulative depreciation values from   previous year. In other words you cannot perform a write up for an asset in the year of acquisition.
Also make sure that the depreciation area(s) is defined as such to manage cumulative depreciation type or write-up depreciation type. This should eliminate the error 'AA400'.
Following is the menu path to take:
CU: FI-AA
     -> Transactions
     - > Define Transaction Types for
         - > post-capitalization (trans. AO77 and OAXD)
          -> manual depreciation (trans. AO78 and OAXE)
For both,- select your Chart of Depr.
         - >select your Transaction Type
         -> select Depr. Area Specs.

Asset write-ups

Hi,
I've posted the asset legacy balance via F-02 without accumulated value. Now I'm trying to post the accumulated value on August 2007 via ABZU but the system prompt an error message "You cannot post write-ups".
Is there any configuration that I need to set-up first before I can execute tcode ABZU?
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi ,
You need to ensure that the Transaction Type 700 is not checked for no manual use & also you need to limit Transaction types to dep areas.
Go to Tcodes AO78 then OAXE.
It should resolve your issue.
Please reward points as a way saying thanks....
Have fun

You cannot use this transaction type to post to this asset
Message no. AA834
Diagnosis
The transaction type entered belongs to transaction type group 15. According to the specifications for this transaction type group, posting with transactions types belonging to this group are only allowed in specific asset classes (for example, asset classes for assets under construction).
The asset to which you are posting belongs to class XXXXX (chart of depreciation XXXX). You cannot post to this class using the transaction type you have entered.
Procedure
Check the asset number entered. You may want to allow posting with this transaction type group for the asset class of the asset.
I know normally we do this way
During charging
Dr Exp A/c WBS name
Cr B.S A/c
During settlement
Cr Exp A/c WBS name
Dr AuC GL A/c
But we have situation that during settlement, we are doing reverse
ie., Cr AuC GL A/c
