Asset Reclass with AS91

[Former Member]

Dear All,

Finance dept in my company need to move our old asset to new class, which have longer useful lifetime. (16 to 20yr)

Their constrain is, SAP must keep the acquisition value and acquisition date, and also the depreciation posted.

So we decided to use AS91 transaction code, to takeover the old asset acquisition and date. For the old asset, we simply just block them, and will not use the asset class in the future.

I changed the old asset transfer date value: 31.12.1997 to 30.11.2006, created new legacy asset, and then changed back the old asset transfer date value to 31.12.1997.

When I checked OAAQ, I'm surprised that the closed fiscal year turns into 1997, not 2004 (I haven't close the 2005 fiscal year yet).

And I cannot run the asset display balance list report, because it says :

Fiscal year change not yet made for company code 551

I don't know what to do. Should I rerun AJAB (Asset fiscal year change) from 1998 to 2004? and can I have my asset balance list report??

Do I make some mistakes here?

Pls help me. Thank you in advance.

Hello ,

First please check when your take over date is set in the customizing for asset take over values under Financial Acc.> Asset Acc. > Asset Data Transfer > Parameters for Data Transfer > Date Spec. > Specify Transfer Data/Last closed fiscal year. I think your date is 31.12.1997 in this step which means your real legacy asset transfer has done by this date. What you are doing now is , taking over values to 1998 instead of 2004.

I suggest not to use AS91 . Instead of this, create a new asset in right asset class, then set up master data and dep. terms according your wishes then transfer old asset to new asset through ABUMN.

Thank you Baris,

Your answer is helpful, but I'm sorry I don't know where to check the box.

Yes, my transfer date is 31.12.1997, because I want to move it back into original transfer date, so I change it back again.

I have suggested the fin dep to use ABUMN, but they didn't want it, because they'll lose the correct acquisition value and acquisition date from the old asset.

My concern is, I have already used the AS91 to create 11 new legacy asset in transfer date 30.11.2006. Is there any way I can get back the transfer date to 31.12.1997 and I can see the Asset balance list?

Also, what will be happen if I let the transfer date to 31.12.2005?

My company has been running SAP since 1997. So it would be a great problem if I can't get the company asset balance again.

Regards,

Fth.

Hello again,

In the customizing step, i mapped above, you can change the take over date. Set it as 31.12.2006 .Then use as91 or as92 to takeover values. I have not experienced it before , that is why, do it in the test environment first. But i think it will work. This date has to be the last day of the fiscal year, otherwise the system wants you to enter the 2006 transactions manually on the current year transactions take over. If you have trouble to reach the customizing , please go to SM30 and maintain the table V_T093C_08. Please keep in mind that, this date is controlled when creating master data or asset posting, if posting date or acqusition date is less then this date, systems prompts the user that like "this is an old asset, please use as91" etc.

Hi Fatah,

You can use ABUMN without losing the acq.value & Date.

In SPRO AA>Transactions>Intercompany Asset Transfers>Automatic...... >Define Transfer Variants

Define a new variant that does copy the required values / Fields and then use that with ABUMN.

Kind Regards

Thank you very much on your replies. My problem has been solved by deleting assets that created with as91, and then run AJAB from 1997 to open year 2007.

Then the original asset is moved with ABUMN.

I hope this won't be happen anymore...

I read the original posting again to understand better, i think you problem can be solved with a new depreciation key, or just changing the depreciation terms to another(16 to 20 year). You can keep the acq. date, and value . To recalculate depr. you can use AFAR. Before these, please set you take over value to orinal value 31.12.1997.
