The posting to GL cannot get split between two cost centers. System will
adopt the cost center valid as at the date of posting the depreciation. You
would need to do a reclass from the new cost center to the old cost center
for the split you are looking for.

Hi Zunaid

In some cases you can assign a different cost center for a specific time
period from within the asset master record itself. It is called Time
Dependent assignment of cost center. This is possible if both cost center
1000 and cost center 2000 share the same business area and functional area.

If this is the case , then change the asset master record (T Code AS02) ,
go to the time dependent data tab, scroll below to see a push button for
adding more intervals. Create a new Time interval period and assign the new
cost center for this period ( from date 15 May 2011 to Cost Center 2000 ) .
Then do the same process by creating one more interval ( from date 01 June
2011 back to cost center 1000 ). In most cases this is sufficient.

You could also try creating a work list comprising the asset master record,
write a substitution rule to change the cost center and release the work
list. But you may have to do this process again on 01 June 2011 by suitably
re-writing the rule to change the cost center back to 1000.

If both the cost centers do not share the same business / functional areas,
then you could possibly create another asset master record and try doing an
intra-company code asset transfer.
