Fixed Assets: Incorrect Depreciation value posted after Legacy data Convers

[Former Member]

Below is the Config data;

Date of Legacy Transfer /Last Closed Fiscal Year 01/31/2007

Specify Last Period posted in previous system (OAYC): 2007/1

Below is the Asset Data

Asset Values (AS91)

APC: 240

Capitalization date: 01/01/2006

Life of the Asset: 2 years

Ord. Depreciation Posted in Legacy System: 130

Asset Balance (calculated field): 110

When I run the Depreciation Run (AFAB), for the month of February, I see that the value posted is not 10 dollars, but more than 10 dollars. The system is <b>"Recalculating"</b> the Depreciation for January also, which is incorrect as last posted period in Legacy System is 2007/01

With Best Regards

Nilabh,

According to the thread above you are posting accumulated depreciation thru 01/31/2007 in AS91. This is incorrect. In the takeover value section of AS91 you should be defining the accumulated depreciation as of 12/31/2006 in the "Accm.ord.deprec" field. Then, still within the takeover values screen, you must specify the depreciation posted during the year (January) in the "Ord.dep.posted" field. The reason SAP is re-posting depreciation for January is because you are not separately specifying the current-year depreciation already posted by the legacy system.

Hope this helps. Please assign points if useful.

Thanks,

Hi Chad Busbee,

I am facing a problem with Legacy asset data transfer.

The system is to go-live on 1st Oct 2007.

Fiscal year is Jan-Dec

TCode: AS91

Configuration done for asset legacy data transfer

1. Takeover date : 30.09.2007

2. Last period in which depreciation was posted in previous system: 9

Problem : The expired useful life is not being calculated properly,when I create legacy asset using AS91.

Eg. If an asset has been acquired on 9th Dec 2005, the expired useful life should ideally be 1Year 9Periods but the system is showing 1 year 1 period, i.e it is considering only till Dec 2006 and ignoring the periods for 2007.

Any solution on same. Is the takeover date wrong?Am i missing sthg in Config or year-end closing or fiscal yr change?

Hi,

When you are doing a data transfer you can better do that on the end of the last fiscal year with the values on that time with AS91 (you can post the balance values with the transaction ABF1 and trans. type 100 without asset number)

The assets for this year you create with AS01 and the posting with ABZON (use the correct Asset val. dat (you can do this manual or using an LSMW)

Then you are running a depreciation run with the option Unpanned posting run for the cum depreciation from the last posting period. The depreciation should be the same as in your old system and from there you are running every posting period your depreciation

Hi Ashokkumar,

Checked up with OAYF. Current Indicator: Recalculate accumulated depreciation is NOT set.

Is there something that I have missed out. Do it to check it ?

Other possible Hint:When creating the Asset in SAP using T Code AS91, the values on the Tab Depreciation Tab, for the Depreciation Area ‘Book Depr’ the Orde Dep Start date is the default date is the same as Capitalization date. Do I have to change it to Feb/01/2007, as in SAP system the Ord Depr Start date theoretically is Feb/01/2007. On the contary should not SAP program understand this as I have declared my Last Depr in Legacy System to be Jan /2007

Hi Nilabh

I've the same problem with an asset transfer (as91) during financial year.

I've set:

1) asset transfer date = 06/01/2007

2) OAYC = 2007 / 05

purchase is not valuated with as91 but with tcode ABZO

-> I posted :

-APC

-depr. of past yeras

-depr. of current year

BUT sy´stem is recalculating depr. for periods 01-05 in 2007!!

hope s.o. can help

Hi Andreas

I am facing the same problem...as yours...

The scenario is , My financial period is Jan to Dec.

My system is going live by tomorrow ( 02/Oct/2007).

Takeover date for legacy asset data transfer is set to 30.09.2007(30th Sept 2007)

Posting period in which depreciation has been posted in the Old system is 09(Sept 2007)

While Legacy data transfer(using LSMW) with TCODE AS91 following values have been uploaded:

1. ACQUISTION VALUE (Field ANBTR0_01)

2. ACC DEPRECIATION POSTED (Field ANBTR01_06)

3. ORDINARY DEPRECIATION (Field ANBTR01_16)

System is taking up the ACQUISTION VALUE and ACC DEPRECIATION POSTED values correctly, but not taking up the ORDINARY DEPRECIATION (Field ANBTR01_16) value, instead it is calculating the depreciation for Jan 2007-sept 2007.

For example, Depeciation for an asset is 100 USD in year 2006 & 20 USD till September 2007. And they were uploaded as the Acc Depreciation value & Ordinary depreciation.

All the 3 values are correct in the Asset masters when I view thru (AS93 and AW01N).........

But while executing the report S_ALR_87011963 or S_ALR_870012026 as of 30-Sept-2007, system is not reflecting the uploaded values and is recalculating the depreciation for Jan to Sept 2007...........

COULD U figure out the solution for same........

Hi Nilabh

Please check if you have any setting for your depreciation area in transaction OAYF.
