Hi,
Our client is looking to enable asset impairment functionality in SAP. An asset impairment is different from a revaluation. Revaluation occurs when a business adjusts the assets prices from a mark to market perspective. An impairment occurs when the business realizes the assets it possessu2019 are worth more or less then what is declared on their balance sheet. SAP FA has standard transactions for revaluation of assets and allows to determine the GL accounts in transaction (AO90 under revaluation account assignment) but nothing for impairment.
I know there are several options listed on the forum to post an impairment but none provide the end result I am looking for
The closest option I have is using ABAVN with a partial retirement (but the posting is wrong).
The client provided the following example:
Facts:
u2022Fixed asset with original cost of $100
u2022Original useful life of 10 yrs
u2022Straight-line depreciation
u2022Impaired to $50 at end of 2nd year (after $20 of depreciation) expense
u2022No expected change in useful life
The related posting must be:
-50 cr. FA acquis
20 dr. Acc. Depr.
30 dr. impr loss (P&L)
After the impairment posting the depreciable base is 50, original useful life is 10, and remaining useful life is 8.
The asset would continue to depreicate at a rate of 6.25 per year for 8 years.
Has anyone configured this in their system?
Thanks,
Kuldeep
