Through transaction code ABUMN, you can reclassify assets. In the reclassification process, you can only transfer APC and accumulated costs to a new asset class with immediate effect. Depreciation expenses will be transferred to the new G/L when you run depreciation. However, during the depreciation run, you can't transfer previous depreciation expenses that were already charged to the cost center. But you can transfer current-year depreciation to the new depreciation expenses account. While entering the transaction in transaction code ABUMN, enter in the value date field the date on which you want to transfer your expenses to the new account.
