  • 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

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

  • Stop depreciation and interest on one depreciation area

    We have area 01 depreciation and area 70 - which for us is a managerial (statistical) depreciation posting with interest.  When this depreciation and interest is posted the offset is to a contra account so when looking at the FI side it nets to zero.  The asset is owned by the leasing company and we indicate on the time dependant tab which operating company is getting the statistical depreciation and interest.
    Our issue is the they 'transfer' these assets to another operating company with a fair market value.  The asset itself does not leave the leasing company and true FI depreciation is not touched.  Since we need to show a new value for the asset for the statistical depreciation and it gets a new depreciation schedule we found creating a sub asset and doing ABSO to 'write up' area 70 with the FMV of the transfer amount allows us to start the statistical depreciation to the transfered operating company with no issues.  The issue is stopping the area 70 depreciation and interest on the main asset - to the first operating company. 
    I tried putting a scrap value equal to the remaining book value on the main asset in depreciation area 70 and that did stop the depreciation - but it's still trying to post interest for the next period and beyond. 
    Ideas?  Options you guys can think of?
    Thanks
    Karla

    Hi,
    a) Copy the retirement transaction to a new one and restrict it to post only in area 70. You can then completly dispose the asset in that area.
    b) Use/create a depreciation key in that area that has Shutdown = Yes. In the time dependant tab you can then set the asset to shutdown and it will stop depreciating.
    Kind regards

  • Stop depreciation of a Fixed Asset

    dear all

    thanks in advance

    The best way for you is to restore from your latest backup.  Otherwise you might have to take more time to find the deleted information.  The longer the time laps, the harder the restore.

  • 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.

  • To stop depreciation for 2 months

    Hi All,
    I have one asset capitalized in August and the depreciation start date is 01-Aug-2010. Now the asset will be used actually
    from November 2010. I want to stop the depreciation calculation from 1st August to 31st October 2010. I can't use asset shutdown feature and I can't change the depreciation start date to a later date. What may be the possible solution to stop planned dep. calculation for the specified period.
    Regards,
    Santanu

    Hi Santanu
    To realize your business scenario, you set additional depreciation intervals in depreciation area by going through following steps:
    1, AS02 -> Tab : Depreciation -> double click on depreciation area
    2, click on button u2018more intervalu2019 -> click on button u2018add intervalu2019 -> input 2010.10.01 to field u2018From-Date of New Intervalu2019
    3, in first period from 1900.01.01 to 2010.09.30, use depreciation key u20180000u2019
        In second period from 2010.10.01 to 9999.12.31, use original  depreciation key.
    Hope itu2019s helpful
    Best regards

  • 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!
    D.

    Hi,
    You can Use Shutdown check box and give the shutdown interval in the Time dependent data tab of Asset master.

    Hi SAP Experts

    thanx in advance

    An other optio is to use scrap value in the Asset. Click 2 times in the tab depreciation areas on an area and jou can fill int field. When the filed is not there you can make it optional in customizing.
    When it is for a compleet group depreciation key / depreciation are use the option from Saubag

  • What is the best way to stop the depreciation of an asset

    I had tried ticking the asset shutdown field, but it didn't works. I change the depreciation key , e.g. 0000-zero depreciation, it works, however i do not know what is the implication of doing this.
    What is the best option to stop depreciation of an asset?

    Hi,
    No depreciation for a period of time
    If you have an asset which would not be used for production purposes for next six months as the plant is being closed.
    Therefore you don't want to retire the asset and neither do you want depreciation to be carried out during these six months period.
    Once the plant is opened, from then on, you want to execute the depreciation run.
    You can utilize the Asset Shutdown feature on the Time-dependent tab of the asset master record.
    Select the Asset Shutdown checkbox - create a time interval - Save.
    If you cannot find the checkbox, it could be hidden :-
    In AS02 click Environment -> Screen Layout -> Master data
    Select the Screen Layout and click Logical Field groups
    Select 3 - Time-dependent and click Field group rules
    Tick Opt, Mnno and Sbno - Save
    Optionally,
    you can set the Depreciation key in the Deprecation Area Tab.
    You can also change the depreciation key to '0000' (No depreciation and no interest) for each of your depreciation books. Just make sure you have run depreciation up through the current month before doing so. When you are ready to put the asset back into service, reset the keys to their original values. The system will calculate no depreciation during the months where you have the key set to '0000'.

  • Depreciation Stops after period 10 FY 2009

    The asset has stop depreciation after  period 10 FY 2009 and the remaining FY 2009 depreciation(2 months) go to FY 2010.
    The particular asset has been created as a sub-asset and it has LINR as the depreciation key and the capitalization date is 31.01.2004 and first acquisition on 01.10.2005. The useful life for 01 Depreciation Area is 5 years and ordinary dep starts from 31.01.2004.The acquisition valuse of asset is 49635.66 USD.
    It has been depreciating asset since 2006 i.e . 9927.13 USD per year. till 2008 but now in 2009 it is depreciating asset only for 10 months and remaining 2 months are being added up in next year.
    Plzs. help me out in analysing the calculation and if any other information reqd. in this regard plzs. let me know.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    as it seems the useful life ends with period 10/2009. If you do not allow the depreciation to be calculated after end of the useful life, then the system will stop at the end of useful life. Check the depreciation phase used in 2009 and then you can check the base method assigned to your depreciation key.
    In the Asset Explorer you can show the depreciation calcualtion on the planned values tab. In the depreciation trace there should be period factor used visible. If you use the old depreciation calculation there should be a perioc factor 10/12 (if your fiscal year uses 12 periods) in your fiscal year 2009.
    According to your description I assume that you have a changeover method in the current depreciation phase assigned which is "changeover after end of useful life", what results in the continuation of depreciation in the next following fiscal year. You can find detailed documentation about changeover methods [here|http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_03/helpdata/en/4f/71ddac448011d189f00000e81ddfac/frameset.htm]. And there is also an [Example for changeover after end of useful life|http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_03/helpdata/en/4f/71ddb9448011d189f00000e81ddfac/frameset.htm] where your described system behaviour is documented.
    Hope this help.

  • Stop Future Depreciation

    I am on SAP 4.7 and I need to be able to stop future depreciation on an asset, but not reverse the depreciation that has been applied so far.  I have changed the depreciation key to 0000 and it will stop depreciation but it does a posting that reverses the depreciation that has been posted.
    Thanks,
    Toni

    As Manish said, the shut down functionality is the best option. Just follow the below said guidelines....
    Use AS02 - Change Asset, go to Time-Dependent and click on More interval. Then Click on Add Interval, insert the date from when the system should not calculate depr., press enter and now check the Asset Shut down indicator here. Do not change any Depr key or any other fields. This should allow you to serve your purpose.
    If you need to shut down the depr for a period, then use two periods. The first one with period from the depr should not get posted with Shut down indicator checked and the second one with period till the depr shd not be posted with Shut down indicator unchecked.
    Please revert in case you have any questions.
    Regards,
