ABT1N: asset transfer during the fiscal year - depreciation value incorrect

[Former Member]

Dear all,

I made an asset transfer with ABT1N and asset value date 01.11.2009 from asset A to B.

The depreciation run AFAB for the old assets has already been made until period 12.

So the asset transfer cancelled the depreciation of period 11 and 12 for the old asset (A).

But the planned and posted values for the new asset (B) are made from period 1 to 12 but I have expected that they are made from period 11 to 12.

Do you have any idea what happened?

Cheers

Dear Carsten,

I have the same problem like you.

I also like to transfer assets from company A to company B with asset value date 01.04.2011. The AFAB in company A in period 01 until 03 2011 was successful.

AFAB in company B in 04 2011 tries to depreciate the period 01 until 04 within period 04, and thats not correct.

We only like to depreciate period 04 within 04.

My question: how did you solve this problem?

Cheers,

Stefan

Dear Stefan,

Generally there are the following points to influence the treatment of depreciation on the sending and the receiving asset at a transfer.

1. Period control of the depreciation key of the sending and the receiving asset .

2. Customizing point: Specify Transfer of Fields

CU: FI-AA:

-> Transactions

-> Intercompany Asset Transfers

-> Automatic Intercompany Asset Transfers

-> Define Transfer Variants

-> Specify Transfer of Fields (for New Asset in Target CoCd)

-> 03#Ord.dep.start date

If you mark "03 Ord.dep.start date ", the system is calculating depreciation from the year of capitalization.

3. Transaction type: Indicator: Transfer adopting dep. start date

Indicator: Transfer adopting dep. start date

Set this indicator, if you want to adopt the historical depreciation

start date and capitalization date from the retiring asset when you

perform intercompany asset transfers or intracompany transfers.

4. Also, could you please verify these setting in your system according to note 327088

Dear Bernhard,

thank you for your answer.

One point from your mail is not really clear for me:

2. Customizing point: Specify Transfer of Fields

CU: FI-AA:

-> Transactions

-> Intercompany Asset Transfers

-> Automatic Intercompany Asset Transfers

-> Define Transfer Variants

-> Specify Transfer of Fields (for New Asset in Target CoCd)

• Douple klick on "Specify Transfer of Fields (for New Asset in Target CoCd)"

These entries I can mark now.

1 Gross method

2 Net method

3 Revaluation method

4 Transfer within a company code

5 Investment measure settlement

6 Line item settlement from independent AuC

7 Gross variant (affiliated company)

8 Gross variant (non-affiliated company)

100 Joint Venture historical

101 Joint Venture current year

These point I cannot find. Which point I have to mark ?

-> 03#Ord.dep.start date

If you mark "03 Ord.dep.start date ", the system is calculating depreciation from the year of capitalization.

Pleae give me an idea what I did wrong.

Many thanks in advance

Hi All,

We are also facing the same kind of issue. We have trasnferred a asset from one co code to another co code, however in the new co code the depreciation started from the begining.

Example:

We have depreciated for first period, but in the new co code the depreciation is started again from the first period. This is not correct. the Transaction type used is 153.

Please suggest what could be the issue.

Dear Jayasudha,

in my experience the answer are in the 4 points I have described on Apr 21, 2011 4:42 PM.

Could you please check and give me a feedback.

Dear Bernhard,

you're welcome.

Meanwhile I found the solution:

1. Changing field 'Depreciation calculation start date' on 01.04.2011

2. Changing field 'Depreciation key' from LINS to LINI

That's it, after implemetation this solution in subtitution transaction ABT1N/AR31 are working fine.

Thanks for you help.

Regards

Stefan
