Calculation of Depreciation for Group Asset

Hi Experts,
I am getting a problem while doing depreciation for group asset
Ex: 80,000; Rate 10%
total depreiaiton p.a is Rs 8000/-
as per the Indian standards if it is below 180 days it should take Rs 4000/-, but in my system it is showing Rs 3333.33
my depreciation start date & capitlization date is 01.11.2007.
Regards,
Satya Vani.

Dear,
Reshma.
Looking at your Questions let us take explanation for Group Assets :-
1 ) We need to create new different asset class for Group Class in OAOA. Then permit the depreciation area for only Group Asset in OAYM as it is in your current scenario India is Depreciation Area 15 Just select your company code in OAYM and check the Grp Asset field for respective area 15. Then go to OAAX here we have to maintain the assets classes particularly for Group Assets. So check your Group Asset classes for Group Assets. Cerate different Group asset classes for your said requirement.
In these depreciation areas, it is then possible to make an assignment to a group asset. You make this assignment in the specifications for the depreciation area in the asset master record. When you post an acquisition to this kind of asset, the system duplicates the line items from this depreciation area on the given group asset.
2 ) According to me you have to create different depreciation keys for Group Asset classes. Assign the Depreciation keys to your newly created Group Asset Classes in OAYZ and make sure you are deactivating 01 area which is Book Depreciation area.
3 ) As far as I know this is the only functionality available to handle Group Assets. How ever SAP does not have any standard Group Assets functionality. SAP does not supply asset classes to be used solely for group assets. It is we have to determine as per varying Business Process.
I hope this will clear your doubt makes you to understand. Please revert back for further clarification. Welcome you.

Pankaj A Bhalerao.

How to accout unplanned depreciation for group assets

Friends,
Unplanned depreciation is accounted for group assets few years ago.This is for special depreciation areas.
Now i would like to reverse this amount as write up unpalnned depreciation, but system is throwing eror message that: This function is not possible for group assets.
OR
The issue what we are facing is special dep areas has one cent as -ve acquisition due to which we are unable to deactivate the asset. This one cent was accounted as unplanned dep few years ago. How do we make the APC as zero when it has -ve APC in special dep areas.
pl, suggest how to go about this.
Thank
NNS

Hi,
This is not possible in the standard and this is not a from SAP intended and provided solution. Therefore I ask you to be really careful and test it bevore on a test system. (and perhaps to discuss this with your SAP consultant)
The workaround to remove the group asset from table ANLB-ANLGR from the asset could be done by creating your own program.

Calculated Re depreciation for an asset

Hi,
Please help me in solving the below issue,
The unplanned depreciation was been charged in the month of December for the fiscal year 2010 and it has been reversed. I want to charge the depreciation once again for the same asset but it should not get effected in the FI.

Hi Binoy
From accounting point of view, if depreciation changed in sub ledge, fixed asset accounting, the changes shall be reflected in GL. What I am talking about is that we can control the changes effecting in previous year or current year due to whatever reason, e.g. previous year has been closed and audited etc.
If you are in above situation, then you can choose re-open previous year 2010 and repost the unplanned depreciation or judge the depreciation in 2011 even it happened in 2010 by using T-cd:ABZU.
Hope itu2019s helpful.

How to stop Depreciation for some assets & start again.

Dear Friends,
We have a requirement where we have to stop Depreciation for some assets as they are not in use and again post depreciation when they put in use.
For ex: Asset Value is 10,000 and monthly Depreciation is 100. Asset has been depreciated for first 6 periods in year with 100 each in every month & we want to stop depreciation for coming 3 months and post depreciation when they put in use. Asset should not be depreciated when they are not in use and calculate regular 100 if we run depreciation again if we put in use. So total Depreciation of the asset for the year should be 900 (First 6 Months & last 3 months).
Please explain step by step process to do this and your kind cooperation to solve this issue is highly appreciated.
Points will be rewarded for sure if my problem solves.
Thanks & Regards,
Naveen Kumar.

Go to AS03 Asset Master/Dep tab and observe the dep key
Goto AFAMA and select that dep key and click on assignment of calculation methods
You can see last row for shutdown field and select YES
Go to asset master at AS02/Time dependent data and select shutdown check box and enter period
If shutdown check box is not available goto as03 and goto menu environment-screen layout and master data and identify the screen layout number
Go to SPRO-Financial Accounting (New)-Asset Accounting-Master Data-Screen Layout-Define Screen Layout for Asset Master Data-Define Screen Layout for Asset Master Data-
Select your screen layout and click on logical field groups and select 3 (Time dependent data) and click on field group rules and make shutdown field as optional.
This will allow you to change the shutdownfield asset master data.

How to calculate the depreciation for an asset under repair for a month

Hi,
I have placed an asset (Laptop) into service 01.01.2013 and I have calculated the depreciation for the 1st period and in the second period 01.02.2013 the laptop is broken and which was sent to the service center and for that entire month no depreciation is calculated. I wanted to start the depreciation for the same asset on 01.03.2013.
how to process for the depreciation for 3rd period and for the 2nd month what should be the activity of the asset?
Please explain in detail.
Thanks,
Santhosh.

Hi,
If you do not want to post depreciation for an asset, then assign depreciation key 0000 for the asset.
OR
Use the asset shutdown option in field status group in time dependent tab.

Account assignment for group asset is different from that in asset

Dear experts,
I have creted one main asset . and i have created group asset. and my main asset class and group asset class are both are different.If i continue that error assets are shoud be craeted .but the depreciation key and usefull life and ordinary depreciation will going and it's showing grey.
My question at the time of assighning the group asset for the particular assets the below error is comming.
Account assignment for group asset is different from that in asset
Message no. AA810
Diagnosis
The account allocation 14000 of the group asset 140000001 0 is different from account allocation 1000 of the asset.
System Response
This error needs to be corrected for balance sheet valuation (usually determined in depreciation area 01). For all other depreciation areas, this is only a warning you should check.
Procedure
Check your entry. When an individual asset has a different account assignment than the group asset, it is not possible to reconcile the individual asset to the group asset in reporting by means of accounts.
kindly help on this issue

Differentiating the asset class for group assets

Hi,
I want to create group assets in AS21. For creating group assets I want to create a seperate asset class. I could not find any option of differentiating the asset class for group assets in transaction OAOA (i.e., Define Asset Class)
How we can identify that an asset class can be used only for group assets and not for individual assets.

<<Plagiarised from http://help.sap.com/saphelp_45b/helpdata/en/4f/71dfff448011d189f00000e81ddfac/content.htm>>
HI
A group asset is represented in the system by a separate master record. The structure of this master record corresponds to the structure of the normal asset master record. You can determine the structure of this master record using screen layout control, just as you do for normal master records. Just the same as a normal asset, a group asset can have any number of sub-numbers. In this way it is possible, for example, to collect all the acquisitions for one year in a single sub-number master record at the level of the group asset.
There is a separate master data transaction for creating group assets (Asset ® Create ® Group asset). This transaction corresponds to the transaction for creating normal assets. However, there are certain special considerations to keep in mind for master data maintenance of group assets:
Group assets can only be deleted when all the assets belonging to them have been marked for deletion.
Group assets can only manage depreciation areas that have been specially marked. You mark them using an indicator in the company code specific specifications for the depreciation area (FI-AA Customizing: Specify depreciation areas for group assets).
Group assets have to be assigned to an asset class, just as normal assets do. You use an indicator in the asset class to specify that the class can be used only for group assets.
Assignment of an Asset to a Group Asset
You can assign an asset to a group asset by specific depreciation areas. For this purpose, there is a special field in the asset master record (in the detail display of each depreciation area). You enter the number of the group asset in this field. Once this entry is made, the system calculates and posts the depreciation for this depreciation area only at the level of the group asset. In this way, you can also assign one asset to different group assets in different depreciation areas.

Stop depreciation for an Asset

Hi,
I understand when we create a asset master, the number of life years and the depreciation key are copied from the asset class it belongs to.
However, the finance side requires to pause depreciation for a asset, or they could want to stop depreciation for this asset, and how do we go about doing it? The situation now is that this asset already have depreciation posted.
I appreciate any help.
Thanks

You can use the asset shutdown functionality so you can pause the depreciation for a given period of time.
AS02 > Time dependent tab , click the asset shutdown. In case asset shutdown is not available, check spro and customise fixed asset master data.
Hope this helps.

Error occured while doing depreciation for an asset

Hi,
I could running the depreciation for an asset in AFAB t-code.
The msg is ""Testrun Completed successfully" and "No document were created for this run". I have purchased the asset for the month of April and wanted to run the depreciation for that month.
Please Advice.
Thanks
Bnoy

Dear Bnoy,
If you look at the message itself saying Testrun completed successfully. So mean you are runnning depreciation posting program in TEST RUN mode, so it is understood not to post any document in system in real time and if any error occurs must show in simulation mode.
If you dont found any error in TEST RUN, next running time remove TEST RUN and execute the same again, here at this time system will post the document and asset explorer will get updated with posted values.
I hope this will help you to understand depreciation posting functionality, and you will be able to overcome the facing issue.
If you have any doubts feel free to share, you are welcome !

Pankaj A Bhalerao.

In oneasset class i have created 2 assets by using of aso1 after that i acquired one asset for that i run the depreciation for first 5 periods, it has been showing depreciation for those period but if i am trying to run the depreciation for second asset i

in on asset class i have created 2 assets by using of aso1 after that i acquired one asset for that i run the depreciation for first 5 periods, it has been showing depreciation for those period but if i am trying to run the depreciation for second asset it is not showing first 5 periods why it is not showing? Is there any reason?

Hi
Repeat run you can do only for the last depreciation period. For the asset which you are tryin to post depreciation from July to Jan, please check the asset value date which you have given while posting the transactions or in the asset master.
If the asset value date is in July, then deprecaition from July - Jan will get posted in the current month depreciation in total. You will not be able to post depreciation individually month wise using AFAB.

Issue on migration of tax depreciation balances for group assets

Dear Experts,
My client is using group assets for tax depreciation report India.
The SAP implementation was done in 2006 during the data migration the
client was not clear of the values both individual asset wise and
group asset wise to migrate to tax depreciation area. So the tax
depreciation for some of the assets are migrated with some
(non caluclated) value.
Now the client want to see the tax depreciation group asset wise or if
possible individual asset wise.For this the group asset need to be
created and assigned to each individual asset in the asset master
record.
The fiscal year variant is v3, april to march with 4 quaters June,
Sep, Dec, Mar.
Now when the data migration for the current year come into picture
I can use AS81/AS82 for loading current year opening balance and
accumulated depreciation for all the group of assets as a whole. Or
I can use AS91/AS92 to load balances into tax depreciation of
each asset individually. But I am not sure whether this is correct.
And also what to do with the previous years balances. I am very
confused. Somebody suggest good solution.
When I create a legacy asset or group asset in AS91 and AS81
respectively the fields in the Takeover values screen are grayed
out and do not allow mw to input values. But I am able to enter
values by clicking the button Transactions in the Takeover values
screen and able to enter a value date , transacton type and amount
for tax depreciation area. Here again I am not convinced using 100
transaction type for current year opening balance. I used
transaction type 652(Unplanned tax depreciation on current year
acquisition) for accumulated current year dpereciation upto second
quarter septemeber 2008.
In asset explorer under "Planned values" tab the opening balance
must be visible under Fiscal year start column but it is displayed
under change column as I entered values for tax depreciation area
in AS81 in Transaction screen with asset value date as 01.04.2008
transaction type 100 and amount as xxxxxx and value date 30.09.2008
652 xxxxxxxx.

Need for Group asset

Hi Experts
Any body guide me about group assets we have Building, Plant and machinery,vehicles,computer,furniture&fittings
I need to configure seperate asset class for each asset or I can maintain same asset class for all assets
please guide me,
Regards,
Vani

Hello,
As a general rule, the system calculates depreciation at the level of individual assets. Certain types of calculation needs or tax requirements (such as in the U.S.A.) make it necessary, however, to calculate depreciation at a higher level. For this purpose, you can group assets in the FI-AA system together into so-called group assets. You can group assets together per depreciation area to form group assets.
Definition: group asset
Asset Accounting (FI-AA)
A combination of a number of assets for the purposes of a common, summarized calculation of depreciation.
A group asset is represented in the SAP System by a separate master
record.
So it is up to your requirement weather you want to go with Group Asset or not.
But the rate of Depreciation is different for asset classes so it is better not to go with Group Asset.

Calculation of Depreciation for Tax for India

Hi
In India, there is a requirement that the Depreciation for Income Tax should be calculated based on the date of Acquisition. If an asset has been acquired before or on completion of 180 days of a Financial Year, than the calculation of Depreciation is allowed for full year. If the asset has been acquired after 180 days , depreciation is allowed only for 180 days. Hence for an asset acquired on 25/09/2009, system should allow calculation of depreciation from 01/04/2009, assuming that the fiscal year starts from 01/04/2009 and ends on 31/03/2009. However, if the asset is acquired on 07/10/2009, the system should allow depreciation from 01/10/2009. Sap has delivered standard depreciation keys for the same in reference chart of depreciation for India 0IN.
But if the asset has been acquired on 01/10/2009, still the asset has to be depreciated from 01/04/2009, since the asset has been acquired for less than 180 days into the fiscal year. The system is working fine for asset capitalized on 25/09/2009 and 07/10/2009. But we are not able to map the same if asset is capitalized on 01/10/2009 and 02/10/2009. For these two dates, the depreciation should start from 01/04/2009.
I have checked the period control setting and calender assignments and everything seems to be in place. How can we tackle the issue?
Regards
Sanil K Bhandari

Hi
The same has been resolved.I Created a new assignment in Period Control IT for my fiscal year variant. For month 10, i added a new line item with no of days as 2 in addition to no of days as 31 for month 10.

Avoid Depreciation for particular asset

Sir ,
Is there any possibility to avoid to run depreciation for particular or specified assets.
Tamil Selvan.

Hi
Select the check box of Asset Shut Down in Time dependent tab in Asset Master.
Asset shutdown
Set this indicator if you want to shut down the asset for the displayed period of time.No depreciation will be calculated for assets that have been shut down when you use an appropriate depreciation key.
Or Select Dactivation date in General Tab in Asset Master
Deactivation date
The system enters the asset value date of the retirement posting for a full retirement in this field.Once an asset has been deactivated, you can no longer post to the asset (with one exception: posting a reversal of the last retirement). In order for you to be able to make correction postings after an asset has been deactivated, you can also manually change the deactivation date in the asset master record
Thanks
