RAFABEW and AS92

[former_member280251]

Hi,

I need to create a new depreciation area for the assets.

The new depreciation area does not post.

The initial upload is in the current year -31.01.2013- (the assets were uploaded this year).

We also manage AUC with investment measures.

We are planning to run the program RAFABNEW in order to add the new depreciation area in the assets w/o any value (Indicator: Leave values initial), and then run AS92 in order to add the values to the assets

I have the following questions:

1) I was reading the program does not create the depreciation area for the AUC with investment measure. I also read some notes about doing a Z program for this assets. I do not need to add the new depreciation area for the AUC which already are in the system.

Can I have any problem with the AUC for running the program? Or the program only works with the other assets not considering the AUC?

Should I deactivate the depreciation areas for AUC at the time of running the program?

2) As I need to add values in the new assets I am planning to update them by as92 only in the depreciation area which was created by RAFABNEW. I will add the values w/o changing the initial transfer date in the system because we are in the same fiscal year.

Do you think we can have any problem of using AS92? The problem is the values of the new depreciation area is completely different from the other depreciation areas, so I need to copy then w/o value, and I do not find any better solution of using AS92 for uploading the correct values.

Thanks,

Cecilia

Hi,

AUC Assets are not depreciable assets. So no depreciation is to be posted on such Assets. So even if you add the Depreciation Area by Program RAFABNEW, still it wont be any issue. But it would be better to deactivate the depreciation area for AUC Assets and then run the program by which the New Depreciation Area will only be displayed in the Normal Assets. And then the value has to be passed to the Assets in such Area do not post depreciation through AS92 only, as you dont have any other way I suppose.

Hi Malhar,

Thanks for the reply. I am sorry but I do not understand what you mean of posting depreciation through AS92.

The new depreciation area does not post, so it does not post depreciation during the year, I only need to upload APC values and Accumulated depreciation by AS92 at 31.12.2012 (without changing the initial uploaded date), because I do not find other way to do it.

Thanks,

Hi,

According to my understanding, no values will be posted to this new Depreciation Area as this depreciation area is kept as 'Area Do not post'. What you have to do is create the new Depreciaiton Area by T-Code 'AFBN' in the Assetsand then through AS92, you can change the legacy data for the new Depreciation Areas. Kindly note that the Fiscal Year of Legacy Transfer date should not be closed.

Hi Malhar,

Thanks for the replies. I have one more question, because now I am wondering if is better to change the initial upload date. As we are going to do this process in November (30.11.2013) I am asking if I have to change the date from 31.01.2013 to 30.11.2013.

As the new depreciation area does not post and the fiscal year is the same I think is better not to change it. I will upload values (APC values and Accumulated depreciation) by As92 at 31.12.2012, and then the transactions during the year 2013 will be uploaded with a special transaction type which only posts in the new depreciation area.

Do you think I am right?

Thanks,

Cecilia
