SIMG_CFMENUORFAOA39 - Specify Memo Value

In this step, you define a memo value for each depreciation area/ company code. This memo value is the amount that is not depreciated, in order to have a memo posting for an asset, which has already exceeded its useful life. The system reduces the planned annual depreciation in the acquisition year for the asset by the amount of the memo value.

You can activate or deactivate the memo value by means of an indicator in the asset class, although it has been defined on depreciation area/company code level (this is applies especially to asset classes for low value assets).

The memo value function is provided in the system in order to allow for managing memo values from a previous system in FI-AA. When you specify a memo value, it is mandatory that all of the affected assets have a book value at least equal to the memo value at all times. Generally, you do not need to manage memo values. The system always considers gross values (that is, acquisition values and value adjustments), and not just remaining book value. This fact ensures that fully depreciated assets with a book value of zero are also shown in all legally required reports.

You must have worked through the Asset Accounting requirements of the Company code.

The standard SAP depreciation areas do not take memo values into consideration.

1. Enter a memo value in the definitions of the depreciation areas concerned.
2. Specify the asset classes, for which this memo value should not apply (such as, asset classes for low value assets).
