Computaion of Depriciation of a newly defined Dep Area in Old Assets.

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I have created a new Depriciation area and have activated the new depriciation area to an AUC asset class. This newly defined depriciation area 03 is a real depriciation area and gets the apc values from dep area 02 which gets the apc values from Depriciation area 01 . Only Dep Area 01 hits the GL accounts.

Now, When i make a settle of an AUC, then newly created asset has the APC values for this newly created are 03. But when i see the old assets under the same asset class i dont see this new defined depreication area in their asset master (asset value tab)

Do we have any customizations , so that we have the depreciation area activated for the older asset too and have the respective deprication calculated till date as per the area 03.

Regards,

Hi,

Have you run AFBN for your chart of account. Also is your old asset an active asset as AFBN will include the new area on active asset. You may want to take a look at OAAR and open pervious yers only on new area and also you would have to open previous year in OB52 to make the system create area 03 for assets which are over its useful life. This could be tricky be carefull as to not recalculated any depreciation on 01 area.

Hope it helps.

Thanks

We have planned to do the same over some time but this is only working for new projects not old existing projects see the SAP documentation.

The only restriction is that this only working for new project after the implementation. It is NOT POSSIBLE to change existing project, even for a new WBS element in an existing project is not possible
