Asset Accounting - Transfer Method (Gross Method - With / Without transfer Asset historical value)

174 Views

Hi SAP Experts,

I have received one requirement from my Client to transfer one Asset from one Company code to Another and as per my Analyze, there are different SAP standard Transfer Variant available along with Transfer Methods are available on the basis of Different Relation Type.

Relationship Type:

1. Legally Independent Unit

2. Legally one Unit (Same Chart of Account and Chart of Depreciation)

Transfer Method:

1. Gross Method

2. Net Method

3. New Value method

As per my requirement I need to Transfer one Asset from one Company code to another within same Chart of Account and Chart of Depreciation. So for this Scenario Relationship Type: 01 and Transfer Method: 02 and 03 are not applicable.

I need to Transfer Asset value from CoCd: 1000 to CoCd: 1001 with Gross method.

Here in SAP we have two option under Gross method,

Method: 01 - Gross method without transfer of values to dependent areas

Method: 04 - Gross method with transfer of values to dependent areas

So instead of using SAP standard I have created my own Transfer Variant:

1) 51 - Gross method - COD 5000 without value

=> Gross method without transfer of values to dependent areas (04)

=> Relationship Type: 02

2) 52 - Gross method - COD 5000 with value

=> Gross method with transfer of values to dependent areas (1)

=> Relationship Type: 02

Now the confusion is that when I have transferred Two Asset by using both the Transfer Variant the result is same and The Asset is transferred with all the historical APC and accumulated value adjustments of the asset for capitalization.

T_Code: ABT1N

From Asset: 10000009 (CoCd: 1000) To Asset: 10000010 (CoCd:1001)

51 - Gross method without transfer of values to dependent areas

From Asset: 10000008 (CoCd: 1000) To Asset: 10000007 (CoCd:1001)

52 - Gross method with transfer of values to dependent areas

So if we have two different Transfer method: Gross Method (With / without Value) Could you please tell me what is the purpose to use two different method: 01 and 04.
