Various questions regarding AS91, closing fiscal year and creation by error

[Former Member]

Dear all,

I have some problems with asset accounting:

1. I created three assets in AS91 with acquisition date in 2007, these assets should not yet be depreciated so I put a depreciation key without depreciation. But since I put a useful life, the first time I ran AFAB ( 31/01/2009) depreciation was posted for all the periods until January 2009. How can I reverse this?

2. In one of my companies, they are not able to close fiscal year 2007 due to one asset which is not depreciated completely. How can I fix this to be able to close fiscal year 2007?

3. An asset was created by error and was already depreciated once. How can I delete the asset without being a retirement? A retirement wouldn't be correct as this asset actually has never existed.

Thank you so much

Claudia.

The depreciation calcualtion is based on a compleet fiscal year, when you make changes the depreciation for the current fiscal year will be corrected. When you use ECC6 with EA-FIN. You make time dependend periods for your depreciation. (to 31-12-2008 no depreciation and after 01.01.2009 depreciation)

When you change the depreciation ket and you rerun depreciation for 2007 and 2008 it wiil create in that fiscal year postings to

See 1, rerun depreciation aftr changing back the depreciation key

3. An asset was created by error and was already depreciated once. How can I delete the asset without being a retirement? A retirement wouldn't be correct as this asset actually has never existed.

Reverse the first posting with AB08 or do a reversal in FI

Thank you for your help.

I know that depreciations are adjusted every time I run AFAB again, but my problem is the following, I have some assets which in January 2009 were completely depreciated although they should have been completely depreciated throughout 2009. Since the outstanding amount of depreciation in Februrary is cero, I am not able to adjust, whatever I put in useful life, the system doesn't reverse the depreciation of january anymore.

Do you have any ideas what I could do?
