Group Assets Post Capitalization

[Former Member]

Hello Gurus,

I had attached an asset xxx to the group asset 111 for post capitalization. The closed fiscal year is 2007. The capitalization date for both the group asset 111 and the asset xxx in the asset master I had put in as 11/30/2007. now when I try and do a post capitalization in the year 2008, the system does not calculate the depreciation for the period 12 in the year 2007 to be posted as the value adjustment in the year 2008 (as yr 2007 is closed)

Where as for the other asset yyy which is not attached to the group asset, the system calculates the depreciation for period 12 and posts the amount as the value adjustment in the yr 2008.

I have checked the configuration and I does not see any thing remaining to be done. Does any one have any idea in this regard.

Thanks

Few of checks you can do:

(1) post-cap check box was checked during creating the asset xxx

(2) asset xxx posted with ABNAN

(3) correct deprec key with period control in the cap year (period control should not indicate to start depreciation from next year)

(4) Optionally, you can post unplanned depreciation ABAA to your asset xxx for year 2007 in year 2008.

Hello, Thanks for a quick reply, but

Few of checks you can do:

(1) post-cap check box was checked during creating the asset xxx -

---

Not checked for asset yyy as well but getting calculated for it

(2) asset xxx posted with ABNAN - Yes

(3) correct deprec key with period control in the cap year (period control should not indicate to start depreciation from next year) - Same depreciation key for asset yyy as well, getting calculated for it

(4) Optionally, you can post unplanned depreciation ABAA to your asset xxx for year 2007 in year 2008.- Client does not want to do that.

Please see if there is any other way

Thanks

Ok so than how was that asset created? Asset xxx and yyy both. Were they created with AS91 using pr-yr cap date?

The group asset was created with AS21, the asset xxx (attached to the grp asset) was created by AS01 and grp asset was attached to it through the depreciation areas and asset yyy ws also created through t code as01. pr yr cap date was put in the asset number xxx & yyy in the tcode as01 while creating the asset masters.

request you to please simulate the scenario if possible. All things in both the assets xxx & yyy are the same like depreciation key etc

Your process of creating assets xxx and yyy using AS01 with pr-yr cap date is not std SAP (specially for post-cap scenario). Your cap date should be in displaye mode only and it gets auto populated based on the acquisition posting. This could be the reason you are not getting the same results for the asset xxx attached in group and asset yyy not in group.

My recommendation is to create an asset shell (AS01) with post-cap check and than use pr-yr cap date and try posting with ABNAN and see if you are getting the required results.

Hi Amit,

I am having the exact same issue. Do you have a solution that you could share?

Hello,

For some reason, the business scenario was dropped by the client, so we stopped working on this, but this stil remains to be solved.

Thanks
