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.

  • 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.

    Hi....
    As per your issue
    1. Use shut down tick mark in the respective assets masters in AS02
    2. Block respective assets masters for temporary purpose
    3. And change the Depreciation keys to 0000
    Once run the depreciation for October and replace all the settings.
    I hope it will helps you.

  • Stop depreciation for few months

    Hi,
    I want to stop depreciation for few months.
    For those months system should not calculate the depreciation.
    for example, i dont want to calculate depreciation for assests for the sep, oct months, after that system should calculate depreciation.
    how to proceed this.

    HI,
    The system will calculate the depreciation based on the useful life defined. But depreciation won't be calculated for the shutdown period as defined in the Asset Master.
    For example if you define 12 periods (1 to 12) of useful life for an asset, and assume that shut down period is 3 and 4, then the depreciation won't be calculated for period 3 and 4 but the useful life of the asset will be extended to the period 13 and 14. (i.e period 1 and 2 of next year). and the depreciation will be calculated for period 1 and 2 of next year.
    Thanks

  • Stop Depreciation for a specific Dep Area

    All
    I am able to stop depreciation for a specific period. My requirement is to stop depreciation for a specific Depriciation Area -01. My client has 4 dep area's (01,02 & ..). Depriciation has stopped in both the depriciation areas (01&02). I had activated Asset shut down and increased the useful life only for Dep Area 01 & not Dep area 02. Both Dep Ar. 01 & 02 use the same Dep Key. Client requirement is Dep has to be stopped for a specific period and specific Dep Area(01). I had stopped dep for a specific period but this has stopped for both the dep area's (01&02)..
    Is there a solution to the above. Please let me know if any.
    Regards
    Sekhar

    Check by marking indicator D-Default value from company code and depreciation area in definition of depreciation key in AFAMA.
    Thanks and regards

  • 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 !

  • 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.

  • 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.

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.

  • Stop Depreciation of an Asset

    Hi Gurus,
    We have an asset that was capitalized last March 2011with useful life of 3years.  To be specific, the item is a television set.
    Goods receipt was transacted last March for this asset with ttype 120 with an entry of Dr. Asset and Cr. GR/IR Clearing Account.
    2 months of depreciation were already posted last April and May 2011.
    The problem is that the department head told our accounting dept that this item should not be treated as an asset and should be charged to a personal expense.
    Kindly advise on how we can stop the depreciation this month June and the succeeding months.  Pls advise also on how can we correct the previous postings that were already made on this asset (GR and depreciation) given that the books for the previous months were already closed.
    Thanks,
    Ellicec

    Dear:
              Please check if  reversal of the Past Depreciation(posted) is possible through Write-Up ABZU - Miscellaneous is the transaction used for Write-Up of past depreciation.
    Transaction effects will be like
    Accumulated Dep A/C Debit
    Deprecation exp a/c A/C Credit
    For more info please check link
    /people/nathan.genez/blog/2008/06/26/reversing-a-depreciation-run-in-asset-accounting
    OASV can give credit to Acc dep posted for an asset class but not to a particular asset.

  • Is it possible to stop depreciation for a certain period?

    Hi all,
    I am wondering if it is possible, and how it is done if yes, to stop the depreciation. For example in the 2nd year of an asset the user wants no depreciation on that asset for 5 months, after which the asset starts depreciating again. Also life is prolonged for this 5 months.
    Thanks for ideas!

    Hi,

  • 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

  • Depreciation for transfer asset

    Hi Sap Guru,
    I use ABUMN to transfer asset A (100%) to  asset B.
    And the APC value is 617.00 and accumulated depreciation is 37.02.
    I use   " percentage from useful life (0011) ".
    but I find the system use APC amount to calculate the depreciation for the transfer year not including the adjustment value (37.02) ???
    And therefore ,the monthly depreciation of asset B is not the same as that of asset A . why ???
    Can we make the system calculate the depreciation for B according to APC and adjustment value ?
    please help me answer the question . thanks a lot.

    Hi,
    we find the depreciation amount will recalculate based on the depreciation parameter in new asset .
    Therefore , we make all depreciation parameter including depreciation key , useful life, depreciation start date etc in new asset the same as those in old asset.
    And then , the depreciation amount will be the same.
    You can use path Financial Accounting>Asset Accounting>Transaction>Intercompany Asset Transfers>Automatic Intercompany Asset Transfers>Define Transfer Variants>(Specify Transfer of Fields (for New Asset in Target CoCd))
    to transfer the depreciaiton parameter to new asset.
