Overview
The system supports the removal of an asset from the asset portfolio in the following manner:
Deactivation – Archiving
If you scrap a fixed asset or sell it, the system automatically assigns a deactivation date to the asset as a result of the retirement posting. If you reverse this transaction, the system removes the deactivation date. If you later want to post subsequent acquisitions to the asset, you can also cancel the deactivation date manually in the master record.
Using a special archiving program, you can remove deactivated assets from the database and transfer them to an archive file (see Archiving). Bear in mind, however, that the asset history sheet also frequently includes transactions from the previous year. For this reason, the deactivated assets from the previous year cannot be archived (minimum residence time = 1 year).
Deletion of Assets Without Postings or Legacy Assets
You can directly delete an asset master record to which no postings have been made, without archiving. In addition, it is also possible to manually delete legacy assets from your previous system during the legacy data transfer process. Follow these steps:
Delete all the transferred values for the legacy asset using the legacy asset change transaction.
Set the deactivation date for the legacy asset using the legacy asset change transaction (on the first master data screen).
Delete the legacy asset using the delete transaction (AS06).
Blocking
Set the blocking indicator in the asset master record. Once the blocking indicator is set, you can no longer post acquisitions to this asset. The idea behind this, for example, is to prevent future postings to an asset under construction once the project is complete.
Transfers and asset retirement postings to blocked fixed assets are still possible.
