Hi All,
I have a peculiar problem 
I was wondering if anyone else faced this sorta issue or if they can suggest a fix.
We have an asset that had a value of 2992.65 at the beginning of 2013
We transferred this asset to another asset within the same company code
As you can see in the screen shots above the line item shows a posting of $0 for both the assets, the one transferred from and to for depreciation area 01. I checked the transfer variant and it isn’t restricted by a transaction type and this functionality has worked for 99% of our assets. The transfer should have been of 2992.65 as it was a complete retirement and this should have made the NBV of the first asset 0 and the second asset 2992.65
Problems
1)The transfer should have posted a retirement of 2992.65 rather than posting $0 as we posted a complete transfer. ANEP shows a posting of $0 for book area 01- I checked the transaction types and it isn't limited to a depreciation area. Most of the assets got the value to all the depreciation areas, but a few like this one didn't. Any ideas why this happened?
2)NBV of the asset wasn't 0 as shown in the first screen shot above, but the system still entered a deactivation date on the asset master. Standard SAP doesn't allow us to enter a deactivation date on an asset which has a value. So why did SAP deactivate this asset?
If I remove the deactivation date on the asset and try to add it back, it tells me that the deactivation date can't be added to an asset that has a value. Why did it deactivate it in the first place?
We faced this issue for around a 100 assets and it is very random. There is no pattern to identify the problem and we can't recreate the issue. SAP says that it isn't an issue if you can't recreate the problem. It keeps happening randomly and I am unsure as to what is causing it.
Any ideas?
Things I have done so far
1) checked table ANEP and it doesn't have value for the transactions shown above, but it does for some other depreciation areas
2) Checked to see if my transaction type was restricted to a depreciation area
3) Checked to see if message AAP123 was deactivated in our system and it is not.
4) Contacted SAP and they said, recreate the issue or it is not an issue!
5) Tried recreating the issue by using the same data and it works fine.
Can anyone please give me a suggestion on fixing this?
Thanks,
Zaid
