Asset takeover date and asset split

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I have an asset X with NBV of say 2000 (APC 5000 and Acc Dep 3000). This is currently available in system as one single asset.

The problem is u2013 above asset is in fact a sum of many small assets for which useful life is different and NBV is different (we are tracking it outside SAP as of now)

Say Asset 1..with APC of 300, Acc Dep as 200 and NBV of 100 u2026total useful life is 10 yrs and remaining useful life is 2 yrs

Asset 2..with APC of 400, Acc Dep as 250 and NBV of 150 u2026total useful life is 10 yrs and remaining useful life is 4 yrs

Similarly I have different assets which add up to asset X as mentioned above.

Asset take over date is 31.12.2009 (We follow Jan to Dec year). We have gone live in mid 2010.

I would like to bring those assets into Sap now. I mean make the adjustments now u2013 split the asset X to different assets. (We did not calculate dep for asset X until now from go u2013 live).

We want to the calculate dep for newly created small assets from month May, 2011.

Could someone help me with the correct process to be followed.

One option I am thing about is u2013

1) Scrap the asset X (40 posting key will be posted to u2018asset disposal accountu2019 (P&L Account))

2) Make co code status to u20182u2019 and make changes to take over date.

3) Create new assets (in AS91) for all small assets with their useful life (Say for asset 1 u2013 I will keep total useful life as 10 yrs and remaining useful life as 2 yrs

4) In takeover values in AS91 u2013 I will put APC as 300 and Acc Dep as 200 for asset 1.

5) Make an entry through OASV for total APC, Acc Dep and remaining value to u2018asset disposal accountu2019 (P&L Account u2013 which is posted in point 1)

6) Put the co code back to active status u20180u2019.

My Questions u2013

1) Can I follow above method or is there any other easy way?

2) What should be the takeover date? Is it 31.12.2010?

3) Should I change the takeover date back to 31.12.2009 after my transactions are complete or can I leave it as 31.12.2010? Its affects.

4) In OASV can I make posting to u2018asset disposal accountu2019 which is a P&L account? (System might ask for cost center which I thought I can provide it in OKB9).

5) Will the above process effect my current assets in SAP? I mean I do not want to spoil the current set up in system.

Thanks in advance for the patient reading and providing solution.

Kumar

Hi Ajay,

Here I would like to get details of APC and Acc Dep also in the newly created assets. Also there are few assets which have zero value (I mean say APC is 200 and Acc Dep is 200).

Client wants to have details of APC and Acc Dep also in newly created assets and also retain these zero value assets for some time in SAP.

So might be above process will not hept me. So I thought of going through takeover date change and AS91 - but I got held up in exact take over date to be used.

As of now take over date is 31.12.2009 in system. We went live in mid 2010.

Now what should I put as take over date? (We follow Jan to dec year)

Thanks,

Kumar

Hi

You can use Post Capitalization as explained here...

Or you can choose other tr type instead of 100 in ABSO.. One of the Tr types allows you to enter the Accum Dep as well... You can press F4 and choose the Tr type

Hi Kumar,

You Specify the transfer date for the asset data transfer. This date derermineds the status of posting to be used for the transfer. Posting up to this date will be included in the transfer. This specification also determines whether you want to perform the transfer during fiscal year ( with transfer of posted transcation/depreciation in the current fiscal year) or at the end of the fiscal year (with out transctions).

If the trasfer date is not the last day if the fiscal year ( according to the fiscal year variant FI), the system interprets this as transfer during the fiscal year. The system cannot transfer any historical transactions. It can only transfer cumulative values from the end of the last fiscal year, and the transctions in the current fiscal year (This is only possible for the transfer during the fiscal year).

Ex....

Transfer date - December 31, 2009

Last Closed fiscal year 2009

Specify the take over date as 31.12.2009. If the company gone live with SAP on 01.01.2010.

I hope above note will clear your doubt.
