Depreciation for the year to be posted halfly

Question

Hi Guys
In my implementation we have a scenrio, the depreciation for a particular depreciation area has to be done halfly i.e. only on period 06 & 12
I have done necessary configure for the weightage and for the relevant depreciation area
OAYL - i have clicked the check box for the relveant depreciation area
OA85 - i have given the weightage for the period 06 & 12 as 50% and for all the other period as 0
But when i run the depreciation AFAB - the deprecation is getting posted from the very first period
Did i missed any config guys
Thanks in advance
Warm Regards
Bala

Hi Bala,
When I look to your example you can use a nomal depreciation key like LINR. In the asset you have to say start at the middle of a year. Like on 01-07-XXXX.
In the period control from your depreciation key you can use start at the middle of the year. When the fiscal year is not the same as the calendar year you have to define that in the period controls.
When you create a posting then the depreciation keys looks to the period controle table and fill in automtatecly depreciation start date.
When this is in all the years you have to say
years month
0          6         0%
1                     50%
1          6         0%
2                     50%
It is then important that the depreciation start date is the first day of the fiscal year.
For tessting this you can better use the esset exploirer. There you can see the planed values by month for this year and the years tottals for the other year.
