This issue can be handled in two different ways, depending upon user requirements, i.e., from which date the user wants to calculate depreciation expenses.
1. If the user wants to calculate depreciation from January 2008, then post the asset acquisition using transaction code F-90 with reference to a vendor or using transaction code F-91 through a clearing account.
2. If the user wants to charge depreciation starting from the original purchase date, then post the acquisition through transaction code ABNAN. Then enter that date, 07/01/2007 in this example, in the Orig. val.dat field as shown in
Figure Using transaction code ABNAN
