asset transfer

Presently upon the transfer of an asset from one asset class(A)  to another class (B) within the same company code in SAP, the depreciation of this  asset  is computed  on the lifetime assigned to the new asset class(B).  Instead, the depreciation should have been computed on the remaining life of the asset of the new Asset Class (B).

It is SAP standard behavior to use the useful life of new asset based on the asset class.

When you transfer asset through ABUMN, you should manually change the useful life

In ABUMN, enter document date, posting date, asset value date, and text.

In the “transfer to” section, select New Asset. You will see that “Master Data” button gets displayed. Click on that Master Data button, enter additional information Cost Center, Plant.. etc and then click on Additional Data – this will take you to AS01 and you can change the useful life in Deprec.Area tab.

Hi

i am facing the same issue also in my system.. but now we are testing the new approach to automatically transfer the expire useful life to the new company code as below screen

Spro-Financial Accounting (New)-Asset Accounting-Transactions-Inter company Asset Transfers-Define Transfer Variants

and then choose Specify Transfer of Fields (for New Asset in Target CoCd) then click on Gross method and choose from the left screen the ( under tab : Deprecation Area) - Field transfer of field groups

Please test first on Quality and then proceed to production if successful

also My Mr. Mukthar till us his opinion about the approach ..

Hi Tushar,

When you transfer the asset, the system won't update the useful life of the asset. You have to manually change the life in the receiver asset.
