Different Settlement Across Depreciation Areas

Hello Experts.
Does anyone know if the following is possible:
- Within depreciation area XX I would like to capitalise to an AUC.  Costs may sit within the AUC for a long period of time (up to 2 years) without depreciation.
- Within depreciation area YY i would like to capaltise direct to a Fixed Asset and commence depreciation immediately.
The asset initially should exist only in GL accounts specific to area YY. 
When subsequent settlement is run a further asset should be created specific to the accounts in XX.
I cannot consider the option of creating the asset in both areas and simply not running depreciation in XX.  My client has an important requirement to mantain the asset as AUC within XX but also charge depreciation in YY.
Any help or comments would be greatly appreciated

Ronan.

you post the values to book depreciation area.
remaining depreciaton areas get the acquisition value from the book depreciation.
change the configuration

  • How to post depreciation to different depreciation areas

    Hi,
    Can any body explain how to post depreciation to different dep areas other than 01 book dep,
    and how to take the reports according GAAP and IAS.
    Regards,
    prasad

    Hi,
    When you create depreciation areas like Book, Tax, Costing etc., the system posts values like APC and Depreciation simultaneously in all the areas. You don't need to do any thing.
    Just posting values through F-90, F-92, etc and for Depreciation AFABN.
    This above holds good as long as you are posting to a single ledger.
    The above answer is slightly different in case you are having parallel ledgers. Let me explain by taking an example.
    Lets assume you are implementing for an Indian client whose parent compnay is in Dutch.
    As per Indian GAAP you need to submit the local reporting on April to March basis and for Ducth Jan - Dec.
    Assets in Indian GAAP are capitalised with values including frieght, Installation and trial run till Commencement date lets say @ 20%
    Assets in Ducth GAAP are capitalised with only Cost, Frieght & Insurance (This is only an example) and the depreciation rate is 15%.
    In this scenario you will be creating two ledgers(IN SAP sense and not the accounting GLs)  with different fiscal year variants and will be defining Leding ledger and Non leading ledgers and Ledger Groups.
    IN this case lets assueme Indian GAAP is Leading ledger and Dutch GAAP is Non Leading ledger and a ledger Group lets say "LG"
    When you post using the transation code FB01L you will be using ledgers or ledger groups that are effecting with this transaction.
    If you use the regular T codes without using the Ledger Groups, System posts the transaction to all ledgers simultaneously.
    When You want to post the transaction as I said in the above example, you will be using FB01L like capitalising total cost in "LeadingLedger" and upto CIF value to "Non leading ledger"
    NOw from the configuration front you will be creating seperate set of Depreciation keys for each GAAP and will be creating a  depereciation area for Dutch GAAP.
    You will also need to create a derived depreciation area which is the difference of Book Dep Area (as per Leading Ledger) and teh Duthc GAAP depreciation area (Non leading ledger). You can use the Wizard here which will guide you.
    For Book depreciation are its always realtime posting and for other areas its periodic posting. i.e. as a monthend process you need to do,
    For this you need to run TCODE ASKBN (Periodical posting ) anad AFABN.
    ASKBN checks for the difference in APCs, Depreciations, Loss or gain on account of retirements differently for diffrent depreciation areas and posts the values.
    When it comes to reporting all Standard reports will give you the flexibility of taking the reports based on Depreciation areas.
    You have a TCODE "OARP" where in you will get all the asset related transaction reports.
    The above scenerio is explained with an assumption of you using SAP Version above 4.7EE.
    Reward if you find this explanation useful.

  • AA implement aaset value for only one depreciation area

    Hi,
    Is it possible change acquisition value of asset for only one depreciation area, the area 20 for example?
    By point of view of FI I can post the accounts of area 20 by  trx OASV,
    but in AA how can I do?
    If I use the trx AB01 the  acquisition value is modified in every area.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    You upload the values in AM with the transaction AS91, this don't create postings in FI. It is possible to upload different values by depreciation area.
    With the transaction OASV you create manual the total postings in FI. An other option is to use the transaction  ABF1 (search on this forum with ABF1 how it is working)
    When an area post direct you have to use the transaction OASV (asset account is reconcilation accounts) for the other area you can use a standard FI posting.
    When you use AB01 you can create you own transaction type and limet them to one depreciation area or a group (tray to play with Tty 147, there you can fill in amounts by depreciation area.)

  • Parallel depreciation area not posted  when trying to settle an order.

    Hi,
    We have requirement of using parallel currencies in one of the cocode.So I havee set up parallel currencies in AA as well.
    We have three currencies EUR as Local currency, USD as Group Currency and CHF as Index-based Curremcy.

    I have selected Indentical and TTr check box for dep areas 02,31,32, & 42.
    I have done the consistency check and it shows no errors in depreciation area set up.
    When Trying to settle an internal order in KO88 to a fixed asset I am getting the below error message.
    *Data inconsistency: Parallel depr. area is not posted Message no. AAPO104*
    Diagnosis
    For chart of depreciation ZCH, you defined this area (or these areas) as parallel depreciation areas for depreciation area 01. In the current transaction, however, not all of these areas are posted. This is not allowed.
    Procedure
    Check if the transaction type is limited to certain depreciation areas. If there is such a limitation, add the missing depreciation areas for the transaction type.
    Check if the asset that is being posted manages all these depreciation areas.
    I have checked the transaction types and they are not limited to any depreciation areas. I have activated depreciatio areas in the asset class and maintained the account determination nad assigned g/l accounts.
    Please help me if I have missed any settings.
    Thanks & Regards
    Nirmala

    Hi,
    AAPO104 is generally a customizing error:  the check points to consider are generally the following regarding parallel currencies: I think you have checked most of them already...
    * The parall. dep. area must have the same settings as the original area (e.g. allowing APC).
    * The parall. dep. area must set for identical values take over.
    * The parall. dep. area must set for identical parameter take over.
    * The parall. dep. area must be assigned to the currency type which is defined as parallel in FI in trx. OB22 (e.g. 30).
    * The parall. dep. area must be activated in the asset class (transaction OAYZ)
    Furthermore, a problem can also be that in OABT you have a parallel area customized, taking value from another area, which is customized and seen in T093. If for example this parall.area is missing on your Asset Under Construction but is there on the final asset this obviously will create the error AAPO104, too.
    In any case check your settings are correct in regards to parallel depreciation areas. They must manage same values as original areas. If they don't it cannot be a parallel area.
    Maybe you also need to consider the information in SAP note 317806.
    Also, looking at your different depreciation areas above, it looks that you have set up a ledger scenario (areas 01 , 02 and 29). I wonder, do you have a correct set up for the parallel currency for your ledger scenario? If I am not mistaken, I don't see a derived parallel currency area. Could this be the problem?

  • Use of Different Fiscal Year Variant-Statistical Depreciation Area Postings

    An existing Company Code in SAP is going to have Fixed Assets implemented.  This Company Code is setup just like the others in our SAP instance: Same Chart of Accounts, Same Fiscal Year Variant, Fixed Asset procedures, etc.  For purposes of this question our company's Fiscal Year is from August 1st to July 31st.  In addition, this Company Code will post Fixed Assets just like the other SAP enabled Company Codes into Book Depreciation Area 01.  The company I work with is on ECC 6 but we use the Classic Ledger for Financials, and the Special Ledger is posted to but not really utilized.
    For the Country Specific/Tax Reporting purposes within Fixed Asset Accounting we have created a Statistical Depreciation Area 03 (I will call it Tax) with its own Life and Depreciation Key assignments with a setting of 0 in OADB-No Posting in GL for this Fixed Asset go-live, so I think we are set there.  The tricky part comes in the reporting.  The country in question requires information to be generated on a Calendar Year basis, which is obviously different than the Fiscal Year outlined above.  To my knowledge we would have to assign Tax Depreciation Area 03 to the Calendar Fiscal Year Variant: Financial Accounting>>Asset Accounting>>Valuation>>Fiscal Year>>Fiscal Year Variants>>Specify Other Versions on Depreciation Area Level. 
    The other piece of this is to get the Fixed Asset Reporting for Tax Depreciation Area 03 to work on a Calendar Year basis for the Company Code in question.  When I did some research I stumbled upon the link below.  In summary it says that you have to manipulate the standard Fixed Assets reports in Excel for Asset Acquisitions and Depreciation, and setup a new Retirement routine/transaction for posting into the Special Depreciation Area.
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/05/bc0bf3d8f811d1953e0000e82debf7/content.htm
    My questions are:
    1) Besides assigning a different Fiscal Year Variant for Tax Depreciation Area 03, is there anything else I need to worry about on the setup end?
    2) Is the article I posted accurate when it comes to how the reporting works and the need for setting up a Calendar Year specific Asset Retirement Routine?  If so, what are the configuration steps for setting up a Calendar Year specific Asset Retirement Routine?
    3) Is there anything else that I need to consider for enabling Fixed Assets at an existing Company Code with different Reporting requirements for Book/Tax purposes?
    Thanks in advance for all responses.  I am willing to answer any other questions on this subject if needed.
    Roman

    Hello Rio.  In our scenario, we still had to load assets in the legal entity with this issue.  When we loaded the fixed asset data into SAP we did with data accurate as of December 31, 2011; which for book purposes is 5 months into our company's fiscal year, and for tax purposes is the end of the 2011 calendar year.  The calendarized reporting for the tax depreciation will need to be pieced together manually using the SAP recommended methodology of combining report values, which I have pasted below.
    Since this is the only SAP-enabled entity that has this scenario right now we are in wait and see mode to see if this sufficient.  In the end the SAP path for Dual Calendar was too much of a risk.
    I hope this helps.

  • AUC Settlement - values are not updated in all depreciation areas

    Dear Friends,
    I got a problem with Asset AUC settlement.
    We have created a AUC, while creating asset master, we mistakenly deactivated one of depreciation area(area 70). After few days my user run settlement (in the year 2014). When user run settlement all values move to new asset except depreciation area 70 because in AUC asset area 70 is deactivated. But in new asset area 70 is required.
    Now user realised it, is there any way to enter values in area 70, becuase we are using parellel ledger concept, area 70 is assigned ot one ledger when user run GL balances system showing differences in balances.
    Please help me to solve this issue.
    Thanks
    Sudheer

    Hi Sudheer,
    This t.code will activate the dep.areas for all existing assets. If you want to activate for specific assets, then it is not possible. Alternatively, you select the check box "Leave values initial" and run the program. Here the check box will not update any values for the new dep.area for the existing assets. After that create a custom transaction type and limit the transactions for the new dep.area, after that do posting for the asset which you want postings.

  • Different Aquisition Value (APC) for group and local depreciation area?

    Hello,
    Is it possible to have different APC/acquisition value in your group and local depreciation area? We want to book the net book value as APC for local depreciation area while gross APC and accumulated depreciation are recorded in group depreciation area.
    Group Depreciation Area
    APC- 100
    Accum Dep- 20
    Local Depreciation Area
    APC-80
    I'd highly appreciate if you can give inputs.

    Hi,
    You did exactly whats required to acheive your requirement.
    There is no more further implications by removing the tick for a while and reverting after go live.
    While doing AS91, if you enter the APC value for 01 area, then that value will be automatically populated to the other dependent areas of 01 area. ( In case, if your other areas are in diff currency also, system will converts the 01 area value in to other area's curr by taking the exch rate).
    Here you can still change the APC values for the all other areas. (The other areas should have been unticked for Identical APC value check box in OABC).
    So while creating AS91, in tkaover values tab, enter APC value 80 in your 01 area and manually change the value in your group area. (REmove 80 and enter 100).
    For accum dep, in takeover values tab, enter accum dep 20 in group area only. (like OABC, in OABD also the other areas should be unticked for the identical value check box).
    This will resolve your issue.
    Thanks,

  • Different Transaction Types for Different Depreciation Areas

    Dear Friends,
    When I am viewing the asset explorer for the asset, it is oberved that for book derpreciation 01, the asset transaction type "acquisition value" is updated and am able to view the same.
    However when I am going through the tax depreciation area, the transaction type intercompany transfer" got updated and the acquisition values are not updated.
    I would like know the reason of how the system is going to update different transaction types in different depreciation areas since the postings only takes effect in book depreciation and same should be diplayed for tax depreciation.
    Thanks in advance!

    hi
    go to OAYA
    select        "Limit Transaction Types to Depreciation Areas"
    select the trnsaction type you using .
    select depreciation area specification
    and maintain entries for every dep area you want to maintain for transaction type.

  • Define depreciation areas with different fiscal yr variant under 1 cod.

    Hi FICO Gurus,
    I am a new student in FICO, here i have a question as following, ask for help,
    Does anyone know how to define depreciation areas with different fiscal year variant under one chart of depreciation?
    Such as:
    Book Keeping Fiscal Year Variant 1: Jun-15-2007 to Jun-14-2008, Non-Calendar Month
    Tax Calculation Fiscal Year Variant 2: Jul-01-2007 to Jun-30-2008, Calendar Month
    So far as I know, SAP provides Specify Different Fiscal Year Variants on Depreciation Area. But it requires the same starting date and ending date for fiscal year variants.
    Right now, the scenario here is different book fiscal year variant and tax depreciation fiscal year variant with different time span.
    Does Anyone know feasible and tested solutions?
    Any responses will be awarded.
    Thanks a lot!
    Samson

    I believe - and this is only my belief - (haven't tried it before) - you can define Depreciation Areas like you wanted.
    Broadly, the steps to do this would be:
    Create a Chart of Depreciation and create two Depreciation Areas within this for your Company.
    The chart of Depreciation will be assigned to the company code level, so you are okay there.
    Now create a FYV corresponding to the June 15 - June 14 depreciation year and assign these to the Company Code using the menu path:
    Asset Accounting --> Valuation --> Fiscal Year --> Fiscal Year Variants --> Specify other versions on Depreciation Area Level.
    Here, pick your company code and you should see both the areas assigned to it. Assign the FYV as required and then check to see if it works.
    Like I mentioned before, this is only a random thought. Haven't tried this before.
    Cheers.

  • Posting for different APC values to different Depreciation Areas

    Hi All,
    I am trying to manage in ECC 6.0, different APC values for different depreciation areas, i.e. APC values differ from one dep area to another. I need to post the APC to GL only (i.e. for the 01 i.e. Book Depreciation area). For the remaining depreciation areas for the purposes of reporting I need to maintain different APC values.
    One way to achieve this is by maintaining Parallel ledger. Is there any other way this can be achieved.
    Thanks in advance
    Krishna

    Hi,
    Use the trnasaction ABSO and clik in the button Dep. Area.
    Now you can fill in the value by depreciation area. (when this is set up) use the Trans act type 100

  • Different Asset value dates for different depreciation areas

    Hi All
    I have a requirement for different capitalization dates in different depreciation areas for some LATAM countries .How can this be achieved?

    Hi
    Hope you can achive this requirement by entering Depreciation calculation start date in depreciation area tab of asset master against each depreciation area
    Depreciation calculation start date
    'As a general rule, the system determines the depreciation start date from the asset value date of the first acquisition posting. However, you can also manually enter a calendar date in the asset master record for the start of depreciation. In that case, the system ignores the asset value date of the acquisition posting.'

  • Different useful life in depreciation area - same depreciation

    Hello,
    I have the same depreciation key but different useful life for some assets master data, but when I calculate the depreciation, in the second depreciation area I have the same depreciation amounts like in the first depreciation area. The second depreciation area posts depreciation only...
    Can you help me please?
    Regards,
    Mike

    Hi Mike,
    to answer this question you should at least provide detailed information about the depreciation key used. For instance depreciating with a stated percentage rate wouldn´t consider the useful life, same depreciation amount would be the result. And there are several other possibilities.
