Asset Migration

[Former Member]

Dear all,

I'm new in SAP Asset Accounting and would like to ask couple of questions related to Asset Migration

Question 1

Acquisition Date: 01.01.2014

Go-Live Date: 01.08.2015

Acquisition Cost: $12,000.00

Accumulated Depr (2014): $2,400.00

Accumulated Depr (2015): $1,400.00

After performing AS91 and OASV I found something that I don't understand in my Asset Explorer. I wonder where $1,080.00 comes from?

Below is the Depreciation Key used for this asset class:

Question 2

Using the same example as above:

Acquisition Date: 01.01.2014

Go-Live Date: 01.08.2015

Acquisition Cost: $12,000.00

Accumulated Depr (2014): $2,400.00

Accumulated Depr (2015): $1,400.00

In AS91 and OASV, how much exactly should I enter for Accumulated Depreciation? Is it 2014 + 2015? Or 2014 only? Because in the Asset Explorer, it shows a cumulative amount of depreciation of 8 months in Period 8 (Jan-Aug '15).

Cheers,

Hi,

According to me, pertaining to your 1st question, can you share the screen shot of Multilevel method of Depreciation Key ZB20, as I think the issue is that system is calculating depreciation @ 9% of the value of 12000 as the same is displayed in the Asset Explorer. So after the screen shot I would be able to help you out more in that issue.

Regarding 2ndd question, if Acq date is 01.01.2014 and the Go live date is 01.08.2015 then in the AS91 Take over values, you have to mention in Accumulated depreciation field as 2400$ and in the ordinary depreciation field you have to post cumulative amount of depreciation posted in this year i.e. 1400$ for that asset. In configuration for Asset Legacy Transfer you might have configured the last posted depreciation in legacy data date as 07 2015.

Hi Malhar,

Thanks mate!!! Solved for both questions.

Q.1 Multilevel Methods for the Dep Key is set with multilevel percentage on depreciation calculation. I will change/create a new one since the existing one cannot be changed.

Q.2 Done!

Dear Afig,

in your first case.

system calculate Dep 1080 for full year.

90x12=1080

please check  you have mention Golive date in configuration:-

Financial accounting New-Asset accounting-asset data transfer-Parameter for data transfer-date specification-Specify Transfer Date/Last Closed Fiscal Year

mention here golive date then system will calculate Depreication only for 01.08.2015
