Sap Accounting: [sap-acct] AR29N new valuation of assets

[sap-acct] AR29N new valuation of assets

Posted by Luc (SAP FI Consultant)

Need to enter new value for all assets and write back depreciation for a couple of months to a certain date, due to an acquisition. So though we could use AR29N to mass update.
Have read the SAP Library documentation. And done the customizing.
Have read all posts about AR29N, although I'm still facing an issue.

We would like the existing assets that need a new value, to write back the depreciation and post the new value in depreciation area 01.
Our assets have a depreciation method = U % from remaining life calc. from depr. conversion date.
When running AR29N, we get the error message: 'dep.calculation method of key &1 is not percentage from useful life'.
Reading the SAP documentation, it seems that using AR29N it is only possible to use assets with depreciation method = D Percentage from the useful life.

Is there any way that we can use AR29N with our assets?
Do we need to change something?
Or what would need to be done?

Any insight and help is much appreciated.

Thanks.
