Asset transfer

[former_member1279634]

Hi Gurus,

We have 2 options in transferring assets to a new cost center.  One is thru AS02 (add time interval) and the other is thru ABUMN.

My question:  Is it okay to use both methods of asset transfer on the same Company Code? Like we will use AS02 on transferring assets for a specific asset class while we will be using ABUMN in transferring assets for the remaining Asset Class.

Thanks.

Hello Elli

each asset is assigned to a Cost Center and CC to a Profit Center

If the PC on sending and receiving asset is same, use As02. Else, use ABUMN

Hi Ajay,

In our case, PC on sending and receiving assets will always be different.

If it's okay for us that the old postings will remain in the Old profit center, will it still be advisable to use the combination of AS02 and ABUMN as a means of transferring our assets?

We actually wanted to retain the old asset number in transferring our assets.  However, we have been using ABUMN for several years now. So we are thinking if we can just use AS02 on some assets and ABUMN for the other assets.

Thanks.

Yes, you can (if you are ok with values on Old PC)

AS02 will change the CC which gets the depreciation expense.  The depreciation that was posted will stay in the old CC.

ABUMN will also transfer the costs to the new asset -- in the new CC.

Third option is to flag "specify time-independent management of organiz uits" at the company code.  Then, you can change the CC using AS02 (without creating a new interval) but SAP will treat it as a transfer.

Can someone explain what PC means? I'm looking to transfer an asset with no book value as it's been fully depreciated to a new plant. I don't know if it matters that the accumulated depreciation comes with it. I'll have to look up GAAP standards but I would imagine since no more depreciation will be posted to it that using AS02 and just changing the cost center would suffice. I would also imagine that we wouldn't want the accumulated depreciation to come with it since it didn't depreciate at the new plant. Many different ways to do this on this forum and it's gotten quite confusing. The time-interval part what effect is that have? just when the asset changed cost centers?
