Hi,

you should consider the shutdown functionality. You can specify time-dependent periods on the asset master record level where you shutdown the asset. Then in this range of time no depreciation will be calculated or posted.

You find detailed information in the SAP Help Portal for Fixed Asset Accounting. Search with keyword shutdown.

Regards,

Markus

Markus provided you with a good answer. The Help portal contains the information on the shutdown feature. Additionally that topic has been discussed many times in this forum. Please do a 'search' and you will find threads related to that topic.

Hi Srihari

Do you want that the ownership of the assets still lying with your company. In such case you still need to depreciate the assets inspite of leased out. You should not use the option of Shutdown. To maintain the detailed use of assets for remtal/lease etc. it is better to have a Real Estate configuration. Above is applicable if you still want to depreciate the assets in your books of accounts First of all clear the objective of rental/lease.
