Depreciation is posted to both interal order and cost center

[former_member613996]

Hi Team,

Currently depreciation is posted to both internal order and cost center due to configuration of transaction ACSET.

This is happening from starting but now (in between of Financial year) we want it should only post to cost center even though the asset master having detail of real internal order.

Can this requirement be control by removing the line items of internal order?

Please let me if this process is correct and its impact? let me know the correct process

Quick answer would be appriciated

Thanks in advance

Hello ananya1209

Since the assignment for Cost Object for Depreciation posting is to both IO and Cost Center, it would allow posting to both if the IO and Cost Center are both maintained in Asset Master. The posting to IO will be a real posting, while the posting to Cost Center would be statistical posting. Real postings to two cost objects cannot happen at the same time. The only option is to remove the IO from Asset Master and let the cost center remain. In such a case, the posting would happen to Cost Center as a real posting which you expect to happen.

Hope this clarfies.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi Sail,

Thanks for reply.

The internal order had been removed from asset master but now we want this should not happen next time so is it recommendable to change setting of transaction ACSET?

Where if we delete the line items of the internal order which have active account assignment.

Thanks

Hi ananya1209

Please make IO as optional in ACSET. Do not remove it since there would be transnational data posted.

In the asset class field set up configuration, hide the IO as a field.

Thanks & Regards

Hi,

It's possible to use time-dependent intervals to keep historic interval for cost center & internal order assignment and a new interval for cost center assignment only. This impacts not only asset depreciation postings, but also other asset related postings.

If you have to keep the real internal order in your asset master, a CO substitution rule could be a solution to only post to cost center in case of a depreciation.

Hi Jonathan,

As per my view, Substitution would be restricted to particular internal order.

Can we make change in setting in transaction ACSET?

Please let me know if my understanding is wrong.

Thanks

Hi,

A CO substitution rule is not restricted to a particular internal order, but can be used to remove internal order in case of reference transaction AMDP (asset depreciation posting).

Removing the items of internal order in transaction ACSET might work without any regression, but I'm not really sure as I've never tried this myself. And I don't have access to a SAP system with necessary setup at the moment to test myself.
