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.

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.

Depreciation area 50 deleted from asset master.
