ABZU - Create Write-Up

TOPIC OBJECTIVES

Business Process Procedure Overview

Background
A write-up is generally understood to be a later change to the valuation of an asset.
This change can take different forms, depending on the reasons for the change.
There are two common reasons for write-ups:
1. You forgot to capitalize an asset in a fiscal year that is now closed, and this
omission must now be corrected (write-ups to APC are usually called post-
capitalization). Current year income statement gets a credit for the extent of
post-capitalization amount given the assumption that the Vendor invoice was
booked as an expense in the previous fiscal year.
2. The value adjustments (depreciation) that you calculated in the past were too
high. You must now correct this error using a write-up in the current fiscal
year. Excessive depreciation generally results from:
 The use of incorrect depreciation terms (incorrect expected useful life,
incorrect depreciation key)
 Unplanned depreciation, which is no longer valid in the current situation
 A later reduction in the acquisition and production costs of an asset (for
example, due to a subsequent credit memo).

Scenario
This system task is used to post write-Up. SABIC America will rarely be performing
the Post-Capitalization transactions since these scenarios are very remote.

Prerequisites
None.
