Add or Remove Depreciation Area in Existing Assets Master

The document discusses how to add or remove depreciation areas from existing asset masters. It describes the three steps to add a new depreciation area: 1) create the area in OADB, 2) activate it in OAYZ, and 3) use program RAFABNEW to automatically open it for existing assets. To remove a depreciation area, it recommends using function module AA_AFABER_DELETE to delete the area from the asset master in a non-reversible way. It also briefly mentions using delta depreciation areas to manage differential values between two depreciation areas by running program ASKB periodically.

Add or Remove Depreciation area in existing Assets

Master
If we have created/added new Depreciation area and want to add the same in existing assets. 
We had followed three steps

1. Create Depreciation area via OADB.

I have added new depreciation area 50 in chart of depreciation

2. Activate Depreciation area via OAYZ.

3. Automatic opening of new depreciation are via AFBN and program RAFABNEW:-

Now asset no. 40000004 does not have depreciation area 50 in master
Run program RAFABNEW from SE38.

3.1 Indicator: Leave values initial - Set this indicator if you want to open the newly created depreciation area
without any values i.e. blank.
3.2 Indicator: Dep terms from asset class - Set this indicator if you want to open the newly created
depreciation area copied from asset class maintained in OAYZ.

AS03
By this we have find that the old assets value has been copied with new depreciation area.

Remove Depreciation area from asset master


If depreciation area is mistakenly added in asset master and we want to delete the depreciation area from
asset master
there are 2 function modules, but please pay attention this are not from SAP supported standard tools. They
delete areas without warning and the deletion is irreversible.

o To delete the area from standard tools: function module AA_AFABER_DELETE


o To delete area from asset   AA_AFABER_DELETE_FROM_ASSETS. 

Now we will delete the depreciation area 50 from asset master for testing purpose

Use function module AA_AFABER_DELETE from SE37


Give Chant of Depreciation & Depreciation area to be deleted.
AS03

Depreciation area 50 deleted from asset master.

DELTA DEPRECIATION
The design is such that whenever you have 2 dep areas posting to GL - You need to have a delta dep area which
manages the differential values between the two dep areas
And, periodically, you need to run ASKB in order to post the differential values to the delta dep area... For eg: if
you sell, the profit as in dep area 01 is posted in the parallel dep area also for IFRS... Then, ASKB at period end
will recalculate and post the profit/loss into the delta dep area
