Answer:
When you add new depreciation area, you have to execute AFBN transaction.
When you have activated the area you can run the program AFBN - New Depreciation Area to load the values in the depreciation area. When it create posting in FI you have to make a total posting for the values with the transaction OBF1 or OASV

1. Create Depreciation area via OADB.
2. Activate Depreciation area via OAYZ.
3. Automatic opening of new depreciation are via AFBN and program RAFABNEW
