2746985 - Cannot Set Deactivation Date For Migrated Fixed Asset

A deactivation date for the migrated Fixed Asset ABC is desired, but this is not possible because the Deactivation Date is grayed out. It is noticed that the status of the Fixed Asset ABC is Capitalized, despite its value being zero. Normally, when the value is zero, the status would show as In Preparation.

This is a migrated Fixed Asset. The migration service always sets the status of migrated Fixed Assets as “Capitalized,” even if there are no postings. With its zero value, the Fixed Asset cannot be scraped or sold. Therefore, the Deactivation Date needs to be set, which will then retire the Fixed Asset.

(ABC represents the Fixed Asset ID)

SAP Business ByDesign

1. Go to the Fixed Asset work center.
2. Search for Fixed Asset ABC.
3. Select Edit.
4. Go to Tab Master Data.
5. Go to Sub-Tab Life Cycle Data, here can you see that the Deactivation Date cannot be maintained.

For migrated assets, the Deactivation Date field is disabled as long as Fixed Asset migration is enabled in Business Configuration.

1. Go to the Business Configuration work center.
2. Go to the Overview view.
3. Search and open the Activity: Disable Data Migration Per Object.
4. Notice that Fixed Assets is checked. Disable it and Save.

Now the Deactivation Date in the migrated Fixed Asset will be able to be maintained.

NOTE: If you wish to use the migration of Fixed Assets in the future, you need to enable the migration again in Activity: Disable Data Migration Per Object.
