Influencing Planned Useful Life and Ord.dep.Start date during Interco Trf

[Former Member]

Dear Expert,

I have configured a prototype where I am able to do a gross transfer for book area and a Net transfer for tax areas. This works just perfect. However, in the receiving company code I want to treat the values in tax books as new acquisition. Thus, on the receiving asset I want to:

1. Prevent the Expired UL fields to be copied from the sending asset; and

2. determine the Ord.Dep.Start date based on the 'First Acquisition on' date instead of the Capitalization date.

Does anyone has any idea on how to do this? I have the configuration for the transfer variant which does not copy the above values, but these are being forced by the system.

Please let me know. Thanks.

Vishal.

Hi Vishal,

19 In CU you have the following settings.

CU: FI-AA:

-> Transactions

-> Intercompany Asset Transfers

-> Automatic Intercompany Asset Transfers

-> Define Transfer Variants

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

"02 Useful life "

2)

F1 Help of the field "Capitalization date":

"...

You can also enter this date manually when creating an asset. However,

this does not lead to the asset being capitalized, but only to this

date being the default for the asset value date when the first

acquisition is posted...."

Hi Bernhard,

Thanks for your reply. I did not quiet understand what are you trying to say. Do you mean I have to copy the 'Useful life' by specifying it in the configuration node suggested by you? My current setting is that it does not copy and I don't want to copy it because in the receiving company code the Useful life for such assets is different.

As you have pointed, I can enter the capitalization date manually during the interco transfer. However, the result of this would be that the determination of the expired useful life for book depreciation (area 01) will be incorrect. In my scenario, I want the transfer to work as follows:

Receiving company code:

Book 01 : Gross transfer; Expired UL taken over from sending asset so that in receiving cocd the asset is depreciated over the remaining useful life; Ord.Dep.Start date taken over from sending asset.

Tax books: Net Transfer; Planned UL from the default asset class values; Expired UL=None; the asset is depreciated over the planned useful life. Treatment is like a new acquisition in tax books. Ord.Dep.Start date to be determined based on acquisition date and the period control of the depreciation key.

I hope I could explain myself more clearly. Do you have any ideas on how to do this?

Vishal.
