Does SAP able copy the first acquisition on field and acquisition year

[Former Member]

Hi expert,

Would like to seek for your advise as below:

Below is the scenario how to main the sub-asset where I would like to split the main asset to sub-asset and transfer the value from main asset to sub-asset using ABUMN.

1)Does SAP able to copy the first acquisition on field and acquisition year field from main asset to sub-asset with the difference posting date in sub asset when transfer the value from main asset to sub asset using ABUMN?

And what is the impact and how to configure with the above mention scenario?

2)What is the impact if we create the sub-asset from the main asset asset by changing the ord depreciation start date and shorten and extend the useful life of the sub-asset?

3)What is the difference if the sub-asset use the same ord depreciation start date with the main asset and sub-asset using difference depreciation date (which is later date) from the main asset with the same capitalization date and aquisition date with main asset?

4) What is the impact if we maintain sub-asset with the same capitalization date , ord depreciation start date ,aquisition date with main asset but we maintain the sub-asset with shorten and lengthen the uselife?

5) What is the impact if we maintain the with the same capitalization date with main asset but with the difference ord depreciation start date,aquisition date with the main asset and with the difference useful life?

Please help.

Many thanks.

Hi KH,

1) Yes. Sub will has different acquisition date and year from the main.

2) The monthly depr will change.

3) Later ord depr start date than the main, will make the depr of sub will start at a later time regardless what is the capitalization date and aquisition date of main

4 and 5) The monthly depr will change.

Hope this helps.
