Procedure

  1. Check whether you really need to post a write-up, or if it is sufficient to identify the amount of the write-up in an appendix to the balance sheet. In the second case, you need a new transaction type and a separate depreciation area to allow for this separate identification of the write-up in reports

  2. In the first case, proceed with step 2.

  3. Determine the reason for the write-up. It is particularly important for you to decide the type of depreciation for the write-up (ordinary depreciation, special depreciation, and so on), and which depreciation areas should be posted. Choose the appropriate transaction type (transaction type group 7xx).

  4. Determine the amount of the write-up.

  5. Check whether it is necessary to change the depreciation terms of the asset. This may be necessary in order to ensure the correct calculation of depreciation in the future. If necessary, change the asset master record.

  6. Post the write-up (   Postings   Manual val. corr.   Write-up   ).  

  • Enter the transaction type (for example, 700) in the initial screen. The transaction type controls the depreciation types (ordinary depreciation, special depreciation, and so forth) for which you will be able to enter write-up amounts in the transaction.

  • Depending on the definition of the transaction type that you used, the next screen should allow you to select the depreciation areas you want to post.

  • In the main screen for the transaction, enter the amount of the write-up for each type of depreciation. Choose an asset value date in the current fiscal year.

  • You can choose the function Areas and enter a different write-up amount for each depreciation area.
