In compliance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 141 we must change book value to fair market value, remaining useful lives with a deprecation date staring 06/01/07. The company code in SAP does not change. The past deprecation and values must retained. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
t-code AS02 will help you to change your remaning useful life, your depreciation start date, and your depreciation method (key) but i dont think you can change your book value. Is that also a part of your question? plz confirm !
We do not want to change the book value, but do need to have the first acquisition date to be 06/01/2007 and I do not think you can change that field either.
You might have to go in Screen Layout and try to change acquisition date to modifiable mode instead of display mode ( I think default is display mode only). If this doesnt work than try t-code ANSICHT, select the appropriate category and under it select field no. 11 Acquisition data and set it to Mainten. mode and may be than i think you would be able to change the acquisition date. I think you have to give it a try.
I guess I need to clean up my issue a little. My company has been owned by a holding company for several years. We were recently brought by another company. The new company wants all of our current assets to have a acquisition date as of 06/01/07 and they will also have a new value, but they will still be in the same company code. Our thoughts are to copy/transfer the current assets to new assets and then retire the current ones as of 5/31/07. We have tried to transfer an asset into a newly created asset and this works except for it brings all values with it and we do not want that. We have a audit company that has accessed all our assets and has given them all a new value and life on a spreadsheet. These new values have to be retained in SAP some how, other then manually. Any suggestions?
I got one word for you, "Revaluation". Try to find out more info on this forum about revaluations. In the mean time if i find something on it, i will post it here.
I really do not know that much about it. The company that acquired us had an accounting firm do a spreadsheet of all assets and they calculated the fair market value that they want us to show.
Have you or anyone else used a transaction type of 896 - Adjustment-revaluation (downward) or 898 - Adjustment-revaluation (upward) and when would you use this transaction.
