Negative Assets (SAP Library - Asset Accounting (FI-AA))

Negative Assets

Use

You can specify that an asset class allows assets with negative acquisition and production costs (and positive depreciation). You make this specification using an indicator in the detail screen of the depreciation areas in the asset class. Managing negative assets allows you, for example

To collect investment support on negative assets, or to represent investment support as a negative sub-number to the respective main number (see Complex Asset with Component Parts) or

To collect credit memos on special assets.

Caution

Please note that you can only use one of the above possibilities on any given asset. It is not possible to manage a depreciation area for investment support on an asset that is set up for using credit memos in the book depreciation area.
