SAP Note 18896 - Transfer in the acquisition year

Symptom:

During the transfer in the acquisition year, it seems that an incorrect depreciation is calculated on the receiving asset.

Solution

Transfers are always valuated for one month in the middle of the month (SAP standard delivery).
Example (for a non-adjusted month): Transfers from 01 up to an including 15 are always backdated to the first of the month. Transfers from the 16 to 31 are dated to the end of the month.
This makes sure that the depreciations are always completely calculated between transferring and receiving fixed asset through the transfer.
This also means that wrong account assignments in the acquisition year, especially under consideration of a first-year convention, may not be corrected with transfers. Instead, you should use

• the general reversal functions of Financial Accounting OR

• the reversal functions of Asset Accounting if the document was posted using transactions of Asset Management.
