Asset revaluation - not by "standard" way

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I have a following problem. I created a new depreciation area that will be used for one time revaluation. Not to get into details why I will just say that I need to have in a new depreciation area a new value of an asset. So I have a new depr. area and using AB01 or ABSO I can post a new value on the asset in the new depr. area wihtout touching the 01 depr. area. But event though I have set up the integration with GL for this new area nothign is posted there. I know I need to use periodical posting so I tried using the transaction ASKB Periodic posting but it did not find any documents that need to be posted?? Why is that??

This is quite urgent for me so any help is very much appreciated.

Thank you,

Dusko

Hi

Did you check the OADX settings. How the depreciation area is setup to be posted to GL accounts?

Thanks

Yes, OADX setting is 2 - Post assets periodically in General Ledger.

Just to give some more info.

So I have all the configuration (hopefully) set up for the new area.

Now my procedure is the following:

1. I run AFBN to opet new depreciation area in a certain class.

2. I run AR29 to equalize the ANLB and ANLC tables so I reecive no error regarding that.

3. I specify in the asset master record a start date for depreciation in this new depreciation area. Yes this date is different than the real asset acquisition date and thus depreciation start date.

4. I also specify a new useful life.

5. With the transaction AB01 I can post a certain amount, with the same posting date as the date I inputed as a depreciation start date, and doing that I use a new customized transaction type that is used only for this depr. area.

6. Then I can check and see that really my asset has some value in the area 60.

7. I tried running ASKB thinking it will acctualy post this transaction I made with AB01 to GL but it doesn't?!?

Any ideas what to do? I am out of ideas

Thanks,

Hi

Normally, when the legacy assets are transferred to SAP, we create the master data and then update the take over values in transaction AS91. But this updates only AA module and doesnot update the GL. There is a separate transaction OASV for updating the GL account.

I am just thinking that since you are creating a new dep area and running the transactions in AA module, might be the GL is not updated. Check the possibility of updating the GL accounts for that particular depreciation area using OSAV.

I tried but I don't see now any connection between that transaction and the transaction made on the asset? There is an amount in GL but it isn't connected to AA. I can not for example double click on the amount in the new depr. area that I posted with AB01 and receive an accounting document.
