About Depreciation Run

Hi,
All SAP Experts,
I want to know the complete process of Depreciation run.
I would highly oblige to you all for helping me out.
Thanks,
Jainendra

Hi Jainendra,
The following are the steps required to be performed during Depreciation run, depending on which industry you are.
1. Maintain Unit of Production(UOP) Figures (Txn Code: S_ALR_87009161)
2. Re-calculate Depreciation for UOP first in "Test Mode" and then in "Production Mode"(if there is a need for it). (Use Txn Code: AFAR).
3. Perform Manual Depreciation Adjustments(if needed). That is, Post unplanned depreciation. (Use Txn Code: ABAA)
4. Review the depreciation adjustment posted. (Use Txn Code: AW01N)
5. Perform Miscellaneous Adjustments(If required). That is, Post depreciation adjustment. (Use Txn Code: ABSO).
6. Review the depreciation adjustment posted. (Use Txn Code: AW01N).
7. Post manual depreciation(if required). (Use Txn Code: ABMA)
8. Review the depreciation adjustment posted. (Use Txn Code: AW01N).
9. Run depreciation first in 'Test mode' and then in 'Production Mode'. (Use Txn Code: AFAB).
10. Process Batch Session generated. (Use Txn Code: SM35).
11. Run Asset Reports to review your postings.
 - Review Asset Explorer report. Use Txn Code: AW01N
 - Review Asset Balance Report. Use Txn Code: S_ALR_87011963
 - Review Asset History Sheet. Use Txn Code: S_ALR_87011990
I hope the above helps.
Do not forget to award the points please.

Question about Depreciation Posting Run

I Gurus:
I have a question about Depreciation Posting Run; I want to block two active assets for not entry in the Depreciation Posting Run and don´t affected it.
I try to blocked the fixed asset in AS06 transaction but de active asset is affected in Depreciation Posting Run.
Could you please help me??
Thanks a lot

Hi,
To my limited knowledge, one can deactivate the assets after transfering the value from the to be deactivated asset.
As per the generally accepted accounting principles, assets with value should have an impact in our financial statment. In SAP, deactivating assets means, wrongly created assets which will not have any value and will not have impact any of your financial books of accounts.
I think, you are looking for a functionality, where you do not want to depreciate the assets (ex. Land). If it is so, you can give the Zero percentage by creating a new dep. key if you are using depreciation key based calculation of depreciation.
Hope it clears your doubt,

Depreciation Run for closed fiscal year

Hi All,
We bought some assets on 2005 through direct purchase and these assets are in under operation, but not having the asset master record in the SAP system.
Now we have decided to bring these assets into the system as the capitalised date is 10 Nov 2005 and for this purpose, we had created the asset master record and applied the t.code: ABNAN to post the values to these assets.
"My concern is about how to provide the depreciation run to these assets for the closed fiscal year from 2005 to until Nov 2007.The present closed period in the production system is 2006".
I request you to all kindly give your values on the above mentioned issue.
Thanks with regards,
Ran

Hi
Just give the dep start date as 10 Nov 2005 and run the dep for the current posting period the depreciation will get posted for the year 2005 and upto the current period,in the current posting period.
As the past reriods are all closed you cannot post dep in the year 2005.
You will have the whole dep for that particular asset posted in the current posting period.
Hope this helps
Good Luck

Single depreciation run for multiple company codes

Hi experts,
How can I carry out a depreciation run for multiple company codes in one transaction? I thought about creating a variant and running a batch job but you can only select the run for one company code at a time. Am I missing something here. Kindly provide explanation of how this can be done.
Thanks.
Ben

Use the program RAPOST2010. There is no transaction for this program, but you can create your own if necessary, for example ZAFAB.
Please not that there is a separate forum for asset accounting.

Profit Center blocked error in depreciation run

We are upgrading SAP system from 4.6 to 6.0. It was noticed that Profit Center blocked error is being captured in depreciation run test run in the upgraded version. In 4.6, this error is not being captured. Is this an enhancement in the upgraded version?

I have not search information about it. I found this change only positive. Now you have direct to solve the error (wrong profit center) and not later with the retirement. It is only when they block profit centers or assign an other profit center to a cost center that they have to contact asset accounting for changing the asset. In the old version the values on the profit center where wrong, now you have to correct them. I see this more as a bug in the old version that is solved now.
When you don't want this have a look to the error message and turn it of when that is possible, but then you accept that the vallues in profit center accounting are wrong

Fixed Assets - Depreciation Run - Error -10 (Transaction Without Amount)

Fixed Assets - 2007A 8.00.00.07 Depreciation Run.
Error
"The depreciation run 100000004 failed and has been cancelled.
Error -10 (Transaction Without Amount).
Cannot work out what is causing this.

Hi,
Check your selection criteria once again. From your error message I can presume that you have mentioned about your original amount for calculating depreciation value.
Check have u missed any field which related to amount.

Tax Depreciation running

Hi
I have done configurations for Depreciation calculation. I have three depreciation areas : Book depreciation, tax depreciation and cost accounting depreciation.
By running AFAB, I can view the book depreciation and post it also.
I am unfamiliar about the tax depreciation running and posting. I request your comments on this urgently.
Please tell me about the pre-requisites for doing this also
Regards

Dear Babu
Its like this, In Indian context you will create say maybe 13-14 group assets through AS21.like
Plant & Machinery 15% GroupAssetNo 1001
Plant & Machinery 80% GroupAssetNo 1002
Plant & Machinery 100% GroupAssetNo 1003
Building 5% GroupAssetNo 1004
Building 100% GroupAssetNo 1005
Building - Roads 10% GroupAssetNo 1006
etc.
In the"Allocations" layout you have field Group asset. Enable this field. While creating the asset through AS01, if it belongs to class Plant&Machinery then give it an appropriate Group Asset number 1001,1001, 1003 under the allocations tab. At the end of fiscal, listing of Group Asset 1001 will provide you the details of Block of P&M to be depreciated at 15%. Further transaction listing will provide you the list of additions / disposals to the block.
The only issue you will get stuck is that not more than one person can work with a single Group asset i.e if someone is processing GA 1001 then company wide no one else can work on that. So you need to create group assets quite intelligently.
Hope that clarifies.

Depreciation run issue.......

Hi,
I am trying to re run the depreication as it calulated wrongly for last 2 months. Now when i am executing it through AFAB T.code, it is giving me an error that posting period is not open for period 1. Our fiscal year start in Oct and ends in Sept. I checked the OB52 settings and there it is shoiwng that currently period 3 is open.
So is there any other way through which i can re run the depreciation posted. I don't think business will agree to open the closed period.
Please suggest.
Regards....

Hi
To post an acconting document in a particular period, that period should be opened. And in case of depreciation run also, accounting document is generated by the system. So it's necessary to open the period to execute depreciation.
Otherwise you can correct the incorrect depreciation in current period if it's ok as per your management.

Repeat depreciation run can change cost center in GL a/c or not?

Hi Gurus,
I have hit the following issue.
Fixed Asset 1 originally assigned to CC-01 for month of March.
And my user has run depreciation for March already.
Later she changed cost center to CC-02.
Then she repeat depreciation run for the month of March, from the depreciation result shows the new cost center CC-02.
But there is no document generated and thus from corresponding GL account, there is no change, still point to CC-01.Which means CC-02 has not been posted to GL account yet.
May I please know if repeat depreciation run can change cost center in GL a/c or not?
If cannot, what should be the correct way to post the new cost center in GL?
Thanks a lot.
Best Regards
Li Juan

Hi, I have tried the method you mentioned.
I managed to generate the new document (Message shows: Document is posted under number 7500000000).
So can I say that repeat depreciation run cannot change cost center for corresponding cost element?
Everytime user has to do manual posting.
Thanks a lot.

Depreciation run in 2007- batch posted in 2008.Csq: Can not close FY07

Hi SAP Guru,
My client has an issue with a depreciation run of 12/07 posted in 12/08. FY=calendar year.
How can this be solved since a depreciation run CANNOT be reversed.
They created an extra asset acquisition in dec 2007 but forgot to run depreciation program in repeat mode before closing period 12/07 in GL. Now end 2008, they couldn't closed FY07 in AA because depreciations were not completely posted. They executed the depr run in repeat mode for 12/07 but manually changed the posting date to 31/12/08 in the batch.
How can this inconsistency between GL and AA be solved now?
My idea is to change the asset key to 0000, execute the posting run of 12/07 in a repeat mode again and post it like they did on 31/12/08. This will create two inconsistency but with opposite signs.
Then reopen 12/07 in GL and again post the depr run in repeat mode but with correct posting date.
But I'm not sure this would work... Please advise? Any other solution would be higly appreciated!
Many thanks!
Stephanie

Hi Tom,
Thanks for the quick response!
I am glad to hear that the log level is the reason for the output and not an issue with the broker!
Thanks again....

Depreciation Run executed for a period but no posting found

Dear Experts,
I have checked a few of the FA in the Fixed Asset Master, and confirmed that they have not been depreciation run yet for period "2009-02". My current period is set to "2009-02" as well.
But when I tried to run depreciation run for "2009-02", I always get no posting.
What could have cause this problem?
Much Thanks in Advance!
Warmest Regards,
Chinho

Hi Chinho,
1, please make sure there is APC value for the asset. Means:
acquisition was created for the asset. You can check it from FA master data->document tab
Or the asset was imported into system with a APC value.
2, If the acquisition/import was done before current fiscal year, please make sure 'fiscal year change' to current fiscal year was done.

Error in depreciation run - assets under construction

Hi!
Could someone please help me with the following:
My customer has a large amount of assets under construction (AuC) and also other assets. None of the assets under consctruction should have a depreciation key (or depreciation key 0000) and no depreciation accounts are allocated in transaction AO93 for AuC . But my customer now has incorrectly created a few AuC (that should NOT be depreciated at all) with depreciation key LINK. What happened?
1) Test run depreciation (AFAB) for all assets in period 1 during 2010. In test run no error log was created, everything looked fine.
2) Executed depreciation in background.
3) When looking at each of the assets in transaction AW01N I can see that all assets (both real assets and AuC with depreciation key) has depreciation posted in period 1. BUT, no depreciation has been posted in general ledger on any of the asset classes!
4) I have now changed the depreciation key on all AUC in AS02 to 0000 so that no depreciation will be calculated.
5) Trying to run AFAB again for period 2 but error message says that period 1 was terminated and that period 1 should be restarted.
6) Trying to run period 1 again in AFAB with restart but error message says "Account 'Acc.dep. accnt.for ordinary depreciation' could not be found for area 01" and refering to all of the incorrect AuC that I have corrected (to no depreciation key)
Please how can I go on? I want to reverse the depreciation in period 1 since I didn't get any posting i the general ledger. And then I want to make a new depreciation run only with correct assets (only depreciation on real assets, not on AuC).
Please help!
I am very thankful for any help!
Many many thanks in advance!

Hi, Can you please how the issue is solved because i have the same problem which i need to resolve immediately. Please reply me as soon as possible

Project Code to be included in Depreciation run

Hi Friends,
Previously, the Cost Center was mandatory for all assets. Now, they want the depreciation to flow to either a cost center or to a project code. In accordance with the requirement, I had made Cost Center optional, along with Maintenance Order. Previously Cost Center was mandatory and Maintenance Order was not shown in the asset class master data configuration screen.
Hi Friends,
Find below the description of the issue faced.
Previously, the Cost Center was mandatory for all assets. Now, the depreciation HAS to flow to either a cost center or to a project code. In accordance with the requirement, I had made Cost Center optional, along with Maintenance Order. Previously Cost Center was mandatory and Maintenance Order was not shown in the asset class master data configuration screen.
Further, there was a validation which checked that each asset master had a Cost Center field filled in and a substitution which filled the Cost Center field with a default Cost Center. I have changed the validation to reflect that either a Cost Center or a Maintenance Order is filled in. I have modified the Substitution to reflect either a Cost Center or a Maintenance Order.
Before the above changes were made, the Depreciation run was being executed without any error. After the above changes were made in the system, the Depreciation Run is ending with an error "Account 551100 requires an assignment to a CO object - Message no. KI235"
Even prior to the error, the Default Account Assignment tab in the relevant Cost Element was empty.
I have checked the Field Status Variant and Cost Center is only optional in that.
Can you suggest any further config. settings that have to be changed? Two SAP Notes, 827363 and 98778 have suggested patches, which have already been applied to SAP.
Regards,
GV Shivakkumar
