ADR Asset Depreciation Range System

Has anyone set up ADR, Asset Depreciation Range System in Oracle Fixed Assets and how was it done?
ADR--Asset Depreciation Range System. Method that should be elected to depreciate tangible property placed in service after 1970 and before 1981.
The midpoint of ADR class lives is used to determine the applicable recovery period for purposes of ACRS and MACRS. This is still being used in some states.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciagted.
Carlos

1)
are there new assets created to the new class?
if no , correct number range with as08.
in case of need you must reset number range on dev and transport it
2) check values with aw01n and afar
in case of need change valuation parameters or cancel documents with ab08
hope that helps

Fixed assets depreciation wherein local and system currency is differeent

Hi,
We just have a question regarding the Fixed Asset Depreciation if Local and System Currency is different.
Setup of Currency:
Local Currency = USD
System Currency = Peso
During monthly amortization the depreciation is in Local Currency (USD) converted amount at the time of acquisiton if other currency is used. The corresponding system amount which is in Peso will use the FOREX rate based on the posting date of the depreciation run.
What we want is to maintain a correct lapsing schedule of Fixed Assets in both PHP & USD, and both following the accounting standard. Therefore, to be in line w/ the standard, we have to use the historical rates.
Is it possible that when the depreciation was posted in system currency the historical or the acquisition rates will be used not the conversion rate when the depreciation was done?
Thanks,
Janice

Hi Janice,
I don't think that is possible to maintain system consistency. if you could assign FOREX arbitrarily, what is your accounting principle?
Thanks,
Gordon

Asset Depreciation Posting : Manually Posted??

Hi All,
I am facing a new problem related to asset accounting, that whenever i try to post the dep to a newly created asset through AFAB system creates no documents and the message comes like : "One depreciation document already manually posted." But my asset is new and i have not posted any dep till yet, so that message is coming.
Please help me.
Thanks & Regards,
Suman

Hello
This is probably because you are using a document type with same number range than another doc. type that has already been used to post manually.
When posting Depreciation last entry in TABA from previous
posting run is used to assign next doc. number (if is the first posting it will take first number from the number range assigned to dep. doc. type).
Do not use number range used for depreciation for other doc. types.
Display doc. number already posted with FB03 to find out
more.

Asset depreciation for legacy data

Hi,
I encounter the following problem, please input some advices.
An asset from legacy system needed to be migrated into SAP.
In the old system, it starts to depreciate at rate of 20% per year, but after a period of time, it changes the depn. rate into 14%, and will keep using 14% in SAP.
My question is how to handle the changed of rate in SAP during migration? As the lump sum depreciation figures in old system in higher than 14% per year which calculated in SAP, SAP would calculate an adjustment figure and post in coming period during depreciation.
Is it possible to maintain 2 items of depreciation attributes? Specifying the starting dep date and the rate for each period.
Best Regards,

No, I understand it is not possible to have one depreciation key to have different rates in it.
The following are some examples
17% --> 6%
17% --> 14%
15% --> 14%
20% --> 14%
Since the depreciation keys have been created for those on left hand side, I'm thinking is there a possibility that I just created two more for 6% and 14%, and telling system change of depreciation rate by specifying the date of change on each asset... Just wonder got this kind of setting or not.
Thanks!

Asset Depreciation - Unit of Production Depreciation

Hi,
I would like to know whether anyone has configured the unit of production (UoP) depreciation (Tcode: AO250 . Currently I would like to configure only 1 key for the depreciation and at the end of the period, my depreciation run can be based on the number of qty consumed (to allow me to key in, is it possible?). At the moment, when I run the depreciation, I am not able to determine the number of qty or measurement consumed and depreciate on that. I do not want to go to IMG to change the remaining units to run the depreciation.
I hope there could be another way because looking at the standard and from my understanding, if I have 1000 types of assets with different number of unit/total of units I need to have to configure 1000 Keys for UoP.
Is there any other configuration material where I can refer to? Thanks.

Hi,
You can only update your UOP from t-code A025 and it is only in IMG. No choice there.
Also, if you have 1000 different assets each having different units for depreciation, how can you wish to fit all of them into one single key. It is simply impossible. You have to maintain as many keys as there are different units for assets. The system need to know separately for each key the total units, remaining units and the units for each period to calculate depreciation.
Try if it is possible to bring as many assets under a unit by choosing a common base for depreciation.
Thanks

Asset Depreciation fun in special posting period

Dear Gurus,
Recently my Finance Manager decided to hv a cut-off date for all the FI transaction on 14-Dec-2007.
These are the rules:
1.) All the FI transaction < 14-Dec-2007 posted in period 12
2.) All the FI transaction Between 15-Dec-2007 and 31-Dec2007 will be posted in special posting period 14.
3.) All year-end adjustment will be carried out in posting period 16.
My problems are:-
1.) How can i proceed the Asset depreciation run for period 12 and special period 14.
2.) How the system select or capture the asset doc? By posting date or by posting period?
3.)If possible pls give some examples when we should use these options and what are the advantages?
   a.) Planned posting run.
   b.) Repeat
   c.) Restart
   d.) Unplanned posting run.
Thanks.
Lim J

1.) How can i proceed the Asset depreciation run for period 12 and special period 14.
Hi, First of all you need to understand the function of special period. You need not to mention the spl period of depr. run.
The system considers period 12 as usual.
2.) How the system select or capture the asset doc? By posting date or by posting period?
By posting date.
3.)If possible pls give some examples when we should use these options and what are the advantages?
a.) Planned posting run.
       When you run the depr. on regular peiod basis ie., one by one, U choose (a)
d.) Unplanned posting run.
      When you want to calculate the depr. for some periods as a whole, U choose (d)
b.) Repeat
     Suppose u ran the depr for Jan. In Feb. you have capitalised an asset for Jan. So, U have to calculate depr for the new asset for jan.   U choose (b).
c.) Restart
       When you are running depr. you might have face some uncontrollable problems like power off, server down etc. In such instances, you choose (c).
Get back to me. if you are not clear

Hi Asset Depreciation

Hi All,
        when i am executing depreciation the system is giving error that CO Object is required for Depreciation Account and Profit Center is required for Accumulated Depreciation.
        But i had mentioned cost center in asset master data. why the system is not posting to that cost center what i mentiond in asset master. whether i have to define in OKB9 for these cost elements.
       please advice how to solve this issue. because depreciation should be booked to respective departments mentioned in asset master data.
regards,
srinivas.n

Hi,
have you set account assignment object in t-code ACSET?
in order to take cost center from the master data, you should set ACSET.
Set the following :
AccAsgnObj = KOSTL
Tra               = *
Account assignment object = APC value posting
then tick colomn AccAssgnt .
Do the same thing for "Account Assignment Object" = Depreciation run.
that is in the SAP version ECC6.0.
It will be a little difference in version < ECC6.0
Hope it can help.

Asset Transfer with Asset depreciation Strat date

Dear All,
I have a scenario where the asset depreciation needsto be calculated based on the asset transfer date,
For example if the asset accquired on 01.03.2011 and it is puts into used on 16.04.2011, tehn depreciation should be calculated from 16.04.2011.
To achive the smae while creating the asset master i have created depreciation start date in future date. When ever I wil ldo the asset trasnfer throguh ZProgram it will update the depreciaiton started with asset transfer date.
My problem is that if the same Asset get transfered from one location to other location that should be depreciated with the specified cost center from asset transfer date.
When Ever I do further transfer the system is considering the depreciation from transfer date only its ignoring the previous date which are not posted depreciation.
Please let me know is it the depreciation calculation will have with multiple transfer dates.
Regards,
Rama Mohan

Dear Mohan,
Generally the following points are relevant.
1. Specify Transfer of Fields
CU: FI-AA:
-> Transactions
-> Intercompany Asset Transfers
   -> Automatic Intercompany Asset Transfers
    -> Define Transfer Variants
     -> Specify Transfer of Fields (for New Asset in Target CoCd)
      -> 03#Ord.dep.start date
If you mark "03#Ord.dep.start date ", the system is calculating
depreciation from the year of capitalization.
2. Transaction type: Indicator: Transfer adopting dep. start date
Indicator: Transfer adopting dep. start date
Set this indicator, if you want to adopt the historical depreciation
start date and capitalization date from the retiring asset when you
perform intercompany asset transfers or intracompany transfers.
3. Also, could you please verify these setting in you system according
to note 327088
4. Period control of the depreciation key.

Asset depreciation calculation for prevous year when legacy data transfere

Hello,
Asset Legacy Data transfer has made as on 31.12.2006. so, for the first period asset depreciation calculation has done wrongly i.e. on the first period of 2007. but it was not noticed at that point of time, now after 2 years, the cumulative difference is coming out very big.
for 1st period, in Asset Value Tab of AS03, for period 01 , 2007 when i am checking right now it shows for dep. Area 01 right now that Amt to be post (14.48) instead of that in the next line for Dep. area 20 and in the next line it shows, Amt. to be posted ( -0.28). hence, for next period only differnce amount is posted in G/L side instead of actual it should be posted as 14.76.
so, now because of this error, my G/L and AA sides are not matching up.
eventhough i post manual reversal entry via FB01, when i will run ABST2 there will be problem.
if i run manual unplanned depreciation, then will my problem of not matching of Asset side and GL side will be solved. ?
also, please provide suggestion from your end in order to solve this issue.
Thanking you for your help.
Jigs.

We cannot post any depreciation to previous fiscal year 2008 as no planned depreciation is envisaged for the previous year 2008. The transfer date for Legacy asset data transfer is maintained as 12/31/2008 and takeover values are uploaded accordingly. Hence, 2009 is a first year for Asset Accounting of the company code.
However, Depreciation posting program checks for previous period log while executing for the current period. The logs are stored in u201CTABAu201D table. For new company code there will not be any entries in TABA table.
Due to missing functionality, System is checking for previous year depreciation posting logs even though the current fiscal year is first year for planned depreciation and giving error message AA 687.
As per SAP Note 144441 this error can be rectified with the help of correction program ZACORR_TABA_ENTRY_CREATE.
Steps to Rectify the Error:
1. Copy correction program from SAP Note 144441 into SAP System.
2. Execute the program with transaction code SA38
3. Check the values in test mode
4. If the table is updated with documennt number , remove the test mode tick and execute again
5. Execute the deprecation

Some question about asset depreciation value?

In our system, there is a asset acquisition value 3297600, use life 5 years.
We use Straight line to calculate depreciation value of one month is 3297600 / 5 / 12 => 54960, this asset will be completed depreciation in 2011/08,
Original Value
2011/01　-54960
2011/02　-54960
2011/03　-54960
2011/04　-54960
2011/05　-54960
2011/06　-54960
2011/07　-54960
2011/08　-54960
When our user transfer other asset value to this asset, the asset depreciation becomes a strange value.
The User trasnfers two asset value to this asset. The first asset transfered 303090 (Asset acquisition 3030900, Accumulated depreciation -2727810) in 2011/03/31, The second asset transfer 12480 (Asset acquisition 149,760, Accumulated depreciation -137,280) in 2011/04/30
User expects the deprecaition value as below
2011/01　-54960
2011/02　-54960
2011/03　-54960 + -50515
2011/04　-54960 + -50515 + -2496
2011/05　-54960 + -50515 + -2496
2011/06　-54960 + -50515 + -2496
2011/07　-54960 + -50515 + -2496
2011/08　-54960 + -50515 + -2496
But current asset calculated the deprecaition value as below
2011/01　-54960
2011/02　-54960
2011/03　-54960 + -50515
2011/04　-54960 + -50515 + -2496
2011/05　-54960 + -50515 + -2496
2011/06　-54960 + -50515 + -2496
2011/07　-54960 + -50515 + -2496
2011/08　1,949 (?)
2011/09　-107,971 (?)
2011/10　98,534 (?)
2011/11　-100,483 (?)
I don't know why the SAP calculated depreciation period becomes to 2011/11?
How can I change the asset depreciation value to "User expects the deprecaition value"?
The user chooses depreciation key AS90 Configuration as below

Hi,
In SAP there are different settings depending if you what the additional incoming charges to depreciate with independent start dates, versus all subsequent acquisitions to an asset record adopting the existing "Capitalized on" date in master data for the very first acquisition to record.
Are you getting the other option not desired?

Asset depreciation calculation based on net book value adjustment

currently I have one asset depreciated based on acquisition value, I want to depreciate using netbook value starting from May,
thus May and afterwards depreciation should be 61107 USD.
but accountant forget this and depreciate asset in May with amount 54628. the June planned depreciation is still based on Acquisition value, i.e. 61150.
So how to adjust June depreciation, if I create a new depreciation key with multi-method based on NBV and change asset master,
will this solve problem?
how to adjust May posting since it is already posted? thanks

Thank you for the reply.
But The issue here is I changed the depreciation key based on NBV, but planned depreciation still based on acquisition value for the following months. by the way, OAYR is monthly depreciation. I didn't tick the smoothing, I think this will affect whole company code. I only want to change the depreciation key based on NBV for three assets only, the rest of assets still using Acquistion value depreciation.
I do test in a sand box, now the latest posted depreciation is April, original depreciation key is Z001 (based on Acquisition value),
I changed the depreciation key to Z002(based on NBV), in AS03, I can see the planned depreciation for May is still 61150(based on Acquisition value). I run AFAB, (test run), the result is same.
My objective is let May and subsequent months planned depreciation to be 61107 based on NBV of April.
Simply change the depreciation key doesn't work at all, anyone have the solution, which other fields in asset master I need to change? or do i need other configuration? thanks

Asset depreciation forecast

Hi,
Is there a std sap report wherein it would list all the assets and also forecast the depreciation period wise for say period 1 to period 12 for the year 2008. I want the listing of all the assets along with the forecast not like in asset explorer wherein you would get for only a particular asset.
Thanks in advance,
Purab

This is regarding Asset Depreciation Calculation

Dear All,
I had doubt regarding Asset depreciation calculation.If i want to Dpreciate the Total Asset value Upto 95% and 5% is scrap value ,where do we configure this setting in SAP Asset Module.
Thanks & Regards,
Prasanna.M

Hi,
You can achieve this by either scrap value / memo value in your depreciation area.
Go to AS02, go to dep area tab, double click on depreciation area and in detail section enter the scrap value percentage or value. This procedure is only possible, if scrap value maintainance is allowed at main asset and sub asset number in AO21.
This will resolve your issue.
Thanks,
Srinu
