ABZU - Create Write-Up

TOPIC OBJECTIVES

Business Process Procedure Overview

Background
A write-up is generally understood to be a later change to the valuation of an
asset. This change can take different forms, depending on the reasons for the
change. There are two common reasons for write-ups:
1. You forgot to capitalize an asset in a fiscal year that is now closed, and
this omission must now be corrected (write-ups to APC are usually called
post-capitalization). Current year income statement gets a credit for the
extent of post-capitalization amount given the assumption that the Vendor
invoice was booked as an expense in the previous fiscal year.
2. The value adjustments (depreciation) that you calculated in the past were
too high. You must now correct this error using a write-up in the current
fiscal year. Excessive depreciation generally results from:
 The use of incorrect depreciation terms (incorrect expected useful life,
incorrect depreciation key)
 Unplanned depreciation, which is no longer valid in the current
situation
 A later reduction in the acquisition and production costs of an asset
(for example, due to a subsequent credit memo).

Scenario
This system task is used to post write-Up. SABIC America will rarely be
performing the Post-Capitalization transactions since these scenarios are very
remote.

Prerequisites
None.

ABAA - AFAR : Unplanned Depreciation - Recalculation of

Depreciation
ABAA - Unplanned Depreciation
 
There is an unexpected permanent reduction in the worth of the asset that you have to post as
unplanned depreciation.
 
As a rule, the system automatically determines the planned depreciation for the current fiscal year by
means of the depreciation keys entered in the master record. If you need to specifically set the
amount of depreciation, the system offers a manual unplanned depreciation forecasting option. This
means you can manually increase the planned values managed for the asset.The G/L accounts in
Financial Accounting are not initially affected by this posting transaction. Asset line items are
created, but no FI posting documents. The general ledger accounts are updated and the corresponding
FI documents are created by the periodic depreciation posting run. The system then determines the
depreciation to be posted up to a specific period, and creates the accompanying posting documents.

During posting system automatically calcualtes the depreciation in different amounts for different
depreciation areas.
 
After posting you can see the same in AW01N in Planned values section under 'change' column against

AFAR - Recalculation of Depreciation
 
This might be necessary if:
 
· You have changed depreciation keys.
· You have made mass changes that you programmed yourself, and these changes affected data
relevant to depreciation.
· You want to calculate subsequent revaluation (after the legacy data transfer is closed) using current
index figures. In order to correctly calculate replacement values, however, you can only use index
series that calculate historically.
 
This program enables you to recalculate planned annual depreciation using the depreciation terms
that are valid at the time that you start the report. You can also run the report in test mode.
However, you can only recalculate planned depreciation for fiscal years that are still open. After the
system recalculates the planned annual depreciation, it creates a statistical log with the total number
of assets processed and the number of assets with errors. You can check the assets with errors using
the asset value display transaction.
