LSMW and Asset value date

[Former Member]

We did some asset loads using LSMW and now these assets are showing no value in the asset value date. This is creating a problem as these assets are not correctly picked up by the asset balances report.

How do i update the value date on these assets

And how do i load the value date for the assets that I load using LSMW.

Any clarifications will be appreciated.

Thank you!

You'll have to change the values using AS92. The easiest approach is to make a recording of this transaction using LSMW. Very easy.

How can I change the asset value date in AS92. Can you clarify furthur.

Thanks

Can you clarify? Are you referring to the asset values? The capitalization date? The depreciation start date?

I'm assuming (perhaps incorrectly) that this is a legacy data takeover. There is no asset value date on the legacy takeover transactions. Asset Value Date only appears on the transactional postings (acquisitions, transfers, etc.)

Thats my question now if I want to update the asset value date on those legacy asets how should I do that.

i see that they did not update the BALTB when they did the legacy transfer. This means they only loaded assets using BALTD

Can you tell what would be the impact of doing so..

Ah. So these were transactions posted as part of a mid-year takeover.

I'm not sure how you can enter in a transaction as AS91 without entering in the AVD. It's required.

I would try and manually pull up one of the assets at AS92. If you can manually fix the date by going to the Transactions screen, (I'm not very hopeful that you can), then you can record that process. If you can't, then you would have to retire the asset, or reset the company code (depending on if you're not yet live).

I tried that, but the transactions tab is deactivated for those legacy assets. I guess I don't have an other option if I dont want to retire thsoe assets

I realized these assets were not loaded as part of a mid year takeover,

these assets are loaded with a transfer date as of the last closed fiscal year.

So does this mean it is correct that there is no need for transactions using BALTB or fill the transactions in AS91.

If thats the case how will the system take the asset value date on these legacy assets, or does it go by the capitalization date..

thank you

"So does this mean it is correct that there is no need for transactions using BALTB or fill the transactions in AS91."

You are correct. If the takeover date is at year end, then the [transactions] button is not available and a BALTB entry will error out (or be ignored... either way, it won't work).

"If thats the case how will the system take the asset value date on these legacy assets, or does it go by the capitalization date.."

It won't use the AVD. If there are no transactions, then only the asset's cap date (AKTIV) is really used.
