Yes, it is possible to retroactively introduce the imputed depreciation area in SAP S/4HANA On-Premise in the asset master data. In SAP S/4HANA, changes to the depreciation areas, including the addition of a new depreciation area, can be made under certain conditions. The following steps are usually necessary: 1. Check the configuration: First you should check whether the depreciation area is already defined in the configuration (Customizing). This is done in Customizing under the path: Financial accounting -> Asset accounting -> Depreciation areas -> Define depreciation areas. There you must ensure that the imputed depreciation area is set up correctly. 2. Addition of the depreciation area in the asset master data: Once the depreciation area has been set up in the configuration, this depreciation area must be added to the asset master data. This can be done under transactions AS01 (Create), AS02 (Change) or similar. Go to the "depreciation areas" within the asset master data and add the new depreciation area. 3. Subsequent data entry: Subsequent postings or adjustments may need to be made for the new depreciation area in order to display the historical values correctly. This can be done via the Asset History Sheet or similar reports and transactions. 4. Adjustments in reports: Ensure that all reports that use depreciation areas are adjusted accordingly to include the new imputed depreciation area. 5. Test and validation: Before go-live, it is important to test the changes thoroughly in a test environment. Check that all relevant processes work correctly and that the data appears as expected in the reports. Note that the introduction of new valuation areas into ongoing operations requires detailed planning and coordination with the business departments to ensure that all affected processes and system integrity are maintained. It is advisable to seek assistance from an experienced SAP consultant or the relevant support team to ensure a successful and efficient implementation.
