we've set the asset to be capitalized from PO when we perform Invoice Receipt (MIRO)
and also set the asset value date to Invoice Posting Date
the question is :
if we bought an asset for example 100.000 USD..
then we perform GR and IR... with rate of 9000 IDR / 1 USD
we get the capitalized value in depreciation area 01 --> 100.000 USD * 9000 = 900.000.000 IDR
but in depreciation area 99 we got value of (assuming todays rate is 8900 IDR / 1 USD) 900.000.000 IDR / 8900 = 101.123,59 USD
differs from real value of 100.000 USD
how to get the initial value of purchase 100.000 USD to enter in deprec. area 99 ?
what should i do ? any idea ?
thank you...

Hi Sasmito,
Please check the config in OABC (Specify transfer of APC values). You should use 01 depreciation area in valuead field and select identical check box for depreciation area 99.

hello, good presentation,
I would like to know about this paragraph,
Could you explain the reason of this activity? how could I distinguish a real depreciation area? is it mandatory?
"We should always copy the depreciation areas from the real depreciation area when creating depreciation areas for the parallel currencies. Since, we are using two parallel currencies i.e EUR and USD. We should define two depreciation areas for parallel currencies for each of the depreciation areas. i.e we should define 1 depreciation area for USD and 1 depreciation area for EUR for both Book Depreciation area and Special tax depreciation area. Therefore we will have 4 depreciation areas for parallel currencies 2 for Book depreciation and 2 for Special tax depreciation."

Hi Roberto,
Thank you. Regarding your questions, it is mandatory to copy the depreciation areas for parallel currencies from the real depreciation area because inconsistencies will arise in transfer of APC values and depreciation terms if you dont copy from real depreciation area.

Very nice thank you. Just one point -
6. Specify Transfer of Depreciation Terms: (OABD)
Here we specify the transfer rules for the transfer of deprecation terms to the depreciation areas.
I believe here value 01 in row 2 and column 3 above is ineffective and therefore better left blank as it does not adopt dep terms and gives a warning message to that effect in asset master creation in last tab unnecessarily.

Thank you for this informative document. It would be nice to show tcodes along with some spacing between the screen shots and the various item points that have been numbered. That way, nothing is crammed up and can be better read and understood.

The editors on Jive aren't very good. It's hard to properly format a document or blog on SCN.

Thank you Nathan. I always wondered why everybody was doing the same thing. But I have seen some of your documents and one I recently read about 'Asset counting - how are asset master record tabs and fields' where the format, spacing, font and screen shots were far superior to this one. Nevertheless, this is a great forum and I look forward to studying Asset accounting from your articles and blog. Perhaps, you are the expert.

Well, the editors are bad but not completely worthless. I see a lot of bad formatting as well but I think that's when the author is pasting the material in from MS Word.
