Asset Cross year with fluctuating depreciation

Hi Experts
I was wondering if you guys could help me. The scenario is like this.
**Posting period for this company is K4 (calendar year).
Asset purchased during
a) 1 February 2010 - 31 January 2011 > Depreciation percentage is 5%
b) 1 February 2011 - 31 January 2012 > Depreciation percentage is 6%
etc
Could you guys provide me with some notes on how to configure these settings.
Thank you very much

Assuming you are in ECC 6 and activated EA-FIN component, you can do so by giving an effective date by assigning a different depreciation key in teh master data.

Asset Fiscal Year End Closing - Depreciation not posted completely in 2010

Hi Experts,
I have an issue concerning AA 2010 year end closing, since there is one asset which depreciation in 2010 was not posted completely, meaning that we cannot close 2010 fiscal year.
This happened because of the following situation:
Vendor Incoice was posted in 30.12.2010, with a document date 31.03.2010 (meaning that for this asset the depreciation calculation start date was 01.03.2010). Then, in 30.03.2011 someone post the reversal document, with posting date 31.12.2010.
So for this asset I donu2019t have any depreciation posted in 2011 and no values in depreciation book, for the asset, meaning that even if I change the depreciation calculation start date for 01.01.2011, it will still be necessary to run depreciation in Dec.2010.
However I cannot run depreciation for this asset for 2010 because it will have impact in 2010 balance sheet, which cannot happen.
Do you have any ideas to solve this problem?
Thanks!
Best regards,
Andreia Nascimento

Hi,
As i have already suggested you for the [SIMILAR THREAD|Re: Asset Fiscal Year Closing not possible], which you have only posted in FI forum, there is no other alternative than running the repeat dep run for FY 2010 for period 12.
Please do not cross post your questions.

Asset Transfer - problems with incorrect depreciation values/period

Hi,
I'm trying to do an asset transfer between two company codes with transaction ABT1N using the gross method.
My problem is that when the asset is transferred the number of depreciation periods restart in the receiving company but with the net value from the sending company.
Example:
Company 1100:
Asset 1:
Aquired: january 2005
Value: 10 000 $
Depreciation time: 5 year x 12 months = 60 periods
Transfer to company 1200 on july 2007...
Depreciation in 1100 so far = 5 000 $
Net value to be transferred to CoCode 1200: 5 000 $
Here comes the problem, when I look at the depreciation time in company 1200 after the transfer, I see that the system now wants to depreciate the net value of 5 000 $ on another 60 periods period. This means that the asset will have a lifetime of 7,5 years in total instead of 5 years.
What I want to do is that after the transfer the depreciation should only by the the number of periods that is left from the original depreciation start in company 1100. This means that after the transfer there should only be 30 depreciation periods left in company 1200 on the transferred asset.
Thanks for response! I will add a lot of points to thoose that provides me with solution solving info.
Best regards
Carl-Johan

Carl,
This is where you can influence the fileds to be transfered in the transfer variant [1-Gross in your case].
Asset Accounting>Transactions>Intercompany Asset Transfers>Automatic Intercompany Asset Transfers>Define Transfer Variants-->Specify Transfer of Fields (for New Asset in Target CoCd)
Select the variant 1-Gross method and then click on the Depreciation area on the left bar. The system will display the all the Depreciation area for the Chart of Depr in question. Here for each depreciation area you can dictate what values from the old asset need to be trf to the new asset.
In your case, the system is not transfering the remaining useful life. Precisely you need to transfer the field group 19-Expired useful life and 20-Expired life in periods.
That should do the needful for you.
Have a nice day.

Fixed Asset: Current Year Depreciation

Dear Experts,
Previously, fixed assets was managed manually in an excel sheet and depreciation was calculated manually in the excel sheet.
My client wants to start using the FA Addon in March. I managed to import all the fixed asset master data with its Cost, Acc. Depn and NBV. They all tally with the GL balances as at 31.12.2010 which is the last day of the accounting year.
However, I have problem with the current year accumulated depn figure. When I run depreciation for Jan-Feb, the figure does not tally with the GL balances as at 28.02.2011.
For example:
Fixed Asset Cost: $5,859.00
In SAP B1
Depreciation method: Straight-line depreciation
Calculation medthod: Percentage of Acquisition Value
Percentage: 33.33%
Planned monthly depreciation: $162.77 <-- Not sure how B1 get this figure
Therefore, accumulated depreciation for current year as at 28.02.2011 = $325.54
Manual via Excel
Depreciation method: Straight-line depreciation
Calculation medthod: Percentage of Acquisition Value
Percentage: 33.33%
Accumulated depreciation for current year as at 28.02.2011= ($5,859 x 33.33%) / 12 x 2 = $325.47
How do I get the current year depreciation to tie with the GL?

Hi Joyce,
I understand the issue you are facing is that
accumulated depreciation for current year as at 28.02.2011(calculated by Fixed assets addon) = $325.54,
but
accumulated depreciation for current year as at 28.02.2011(calculated by excel)= ($5,859 x 33.33%) / 12 x 2 = $325.47
you want to know how system calculate the accumulated depreciation as $325.54?
in order to make it clear,
please let me know how did you define the FA master data,such as the net book value,useful life,remaing life and so on.
Please check the FA master data->general tab and calculation tab,as it is not possible to attach the screenshot to show the relevant data,please log a SAP message for the further assistance.
Kind regards,
Eleven

Fixed Asset calculates extra period for Depreciation

Hi All,
I have imported the Fixed Asset for 2007B for the Year 2010. while checking the import, i notice that the system calculates an additional period for depreciation.
Here is my scenario :
a. Asset Cost = 15,863.12 (purchased on 31-May-2007).
b. Useful Life = 36
c. Remaining Life = 4
The above are displayed according to import file.
At the Depreciation Tab, there are 5 rows of planned depreciation calculated. Period 01 to Period 05.
How can the system calculates 5 periods when there is only 4 remaining periods for the asset?
This happens to all the assets being imported.
Please advise.
Jessie

Further information.
The Net Book value = 1762.94
with Accumulated Depreciation = 14100.18.
So the remaining 4 periods should be calculated as = 440.735 (per month for 4 months).
but it is displayed as 352.59 per month for 5 months.
The Fixed Asset is setup as Monthly Basis.
Using Straight Line Mehtod = Net Book Value / remaining life.

Re - Process asset accounting year end process

Hi,
Case- XYZ company is already on K4 fiscal year variant, they want to switch from K4 (calendar year) to V3 (Non- calendar year). Standard SAP process is to create shortened fiscal year for 3 months. But this is only allowed if no entries posted in new fiscal year. This XYZ company is already in the month of Feb. How can we manage this situation in SAP. Asset accounting is implemented in the system. Planned depreciation has already been calculated for 12 months, how can we rewrite planed depreciation? and depreciation has been posted for one Jan 2011.
Plan 1- Keep K4 variant as it is and control this with the help of OB52 to restrict posting. This will allow them to run their day to day process with out any errors in fiscal year 2011
Plan 2 - Maintain K4 as shortened fiscal year and update table T093C to allow system to identify that this 2011 fiscal year is shortened fiscal year. but in both cases question remains what to do with planned depreciation of remaining 9 months?
Waiting for your feed back.
Thanks and Regards,
Sany..

Hi
The system will show you the list of Assets which are incomplete.
I think for the incomplete asset you have not assign the group asset.
Hence in AS02 transaction enter one by one the incomplete assets and complete the same. then run the AJAB transaction which will allow you to close the asset year.
if the answer is helpful kindly assign points
Thanks & Regards

Open asset acctng year in closed FI fiscal year - asset not totally posted

Hello Friends,
In January we have closed 2010 in finance but Asset accounting year remained open.
Now I have an asset with planned depreciation in 2010 which was not posted. Now I can't close asset accounting for 2010.
I have read about SAP note 29694 and program RACORR20_A in the forum, but I'm not sure about it's consecuences. Can't I just delete the planned depreciation in 2010, close the year and set an unplanned depreciation for the same value in 2011?
Thanks in advance.
Juanma.

Hi Juan
You have 2 choices, one of which you have identified already
a. Note 619969 - This will let you post dep in 2010... This will change balance in your FI books
b.Note 29694 - If you dont wanna post anything in 2010 due to legal issues, then use the program mentioned in the note and this will make Posted dep = Planned Dep
Advisable is Note 619969 of the two

Adjust Asset Fiscal year more than 2 years backward

Hello SAP Guru,
We have a problem in Asset accounting today for US company codes. We would like to implement tax bonuses for our old assets in SAP. Currently the tax bonuses are calculated offline and it cause so many effort on the tax department. We would like to adjust depreciation calculation of our assets to include bonus depreciation. We already set-up depreciation key needed. The problem now is when we tried to change the depreciation keys of our old assets, special depreciation did not take effect. Then I found out that special depreciation only reflect for open fiscal year. How can we do this if we want to post special depreciation (Asset Level only) more than 2 years backward.
Please help,
Thanks!
Jhero

Hi Jhero,
As a rule it is only allowed to have max 2 fiscal years open (included the current fiscal year).
The closed fiscal year in all depreciation areas have to be the same.
Conclusion: it is not possible to open the fiscal year 2006 with legal means.
Of course you can change the closed fiscal year also directly in table T093B but this should be done from a experienced consulter.

ERROR Message no. AU265 :While closing asset accounting year ------ URGENT

Hi All,
THE ISSUE IS URGENT . Please help in resolving it.
One of our users have missed to do the repeat depreciation run for
Asset 4464 (Co. code 0006)in 12th period as she has raised a credit
memo for this
Asset after she did normal depreciation run for period 12, 2007.
Than the financial year 2007 FI-GL was closed and when she was trying
to do Asset year closing for 2007 through t-code AJAB she got the error
that depreciation not updated for asset 4464 and realized that she hasmissed a repeat depreciation run .
Than I replied back to her that there is no other way out to solve this
problem other than to get the last fiscal year opened and than do the
repeat run and not to do any posting for this year before closing the
previous year.
But in the mean while she has already posted the depreciation for
Jan 08 for all assets and also posted the value for 4464 Asset in
Period Jan08 . Now when she is running AJAB she is getting error the
following error.
AU265 : Documents from last posting run in 2007 are not yet updated.
The sequence which the user has followed is as follows:
First, I ran depreciation for all assets in period 1, 2008 with no errors. But, the December depreciation for asset 4464 did not post in this run.
Then, I posted depreciation for asset 4464 in period 1 2008 (see document 300000881), with no errors by following the steps in the attached document.
1.     T-code AFAB
2.     Entered the criteria with repeat run for Asset 4464(I knew SAP would not allow me to post to 12/2007)
3.     F9 to process in background
4.     T-code SM35 to process batch
5.     Received error that period 12/2007 was not open for posting
6.     Changed posting date to 01/2008 and processed the batch
7.     Now, the remaining December 2007 depreciation for asset 4464 posted. See document 300000881.
8.     T-code AJAB (Year-End Closing Asset Accounting), again
9.     Received message that the Close was not carried out because Documents from last posting run in 2007 are not yet updated.
Please tell what can be done now to resolve this error.
Points will be rewarded if your answer helped.
Thanks & Regards,
Prachi

Prachi,
I faced a similar situation from 2004, we transfered that portion of credit memo into a dummy company code / Asset and a manual adjustment in 2007 for the credit memo portion... ofcourse there will be a difference but explainable...
In your situation... check if you can open 2007 repost the depreciation for 12 and clear this issue?
Hopefully this helps.

Updating fully depreciated assets during creation of subsequent depreciation area

I am subsequently adding multiple depreciation areas in SAP. The system has been live for many years with a legacy system handling the depreciation for the tax books via dual maintenance. I have been able to bring in the new areas via AFBN without issue except for one thing. Many of these assets are fully depreciated in Book01 in SAP but they have remaining tax life. The problem is when the asset is fully depreciated and I assign it cost or try to make a change in the depreciation area tab it automatically fully depreciates those values.
Has anyone ran into this before? What options are there to provide a solution?
To recap; Want to add tax book values to assets already live in SAP. Issue is assets already fully depreciated. Any adjustment to keys and UL on them results in a calculation but regardless it fully depreciates whatever that amount will be.
Many thanks,
Jack

Hi Jack,
I suppose, there are some settings somewhere, which do not allow the asset to have values.
Presumption:
1) AFAMA - Base method -Treatment of end of life: In the depreciation key: there is not "dep. after pland. life end" allowed
2) In OADB there are wrong settings (perhaps no positive acquisition values allowed)
3) Perhaps this is constitutional area and in OADB there is rule for the derived area which is broken.
Best regards Bernhard

FI-AA: Assignment asset class to chart of depreciation

Hi all,
does anybody know whether it's possible to assign asset classes to a specific chart of depreciation (or let's say to delete this assignment)?
The background of the question is the following: Some asset classes should not be used in some company codes. All these company codes use the same chart of depreciation, so I thought there must be a possibility to delete the assignment of this asset class to this chart of depreciation. Unfortunately, I haven't found this setting in the IMG.
The SAP Message no. AC 012 tells for example, that there is an assignment "asset class to chart of depreciation". This is the message:
In order to be able to assign chart-of-depreciation-dependent data to asset class 120204, the following conditions have to be met. You have to have already
1. Defined at least two active charts of depreciation
2. Assigned asset class 120204 to more than one chart of depreciation
However, at the moment this asset class is only assigned to chart of depreciation 1.
As we have definitely more than one active chart of depreciation, there must be this assignment, but how can I change it?
I've seen that I can set a block for an asset class in a chart of depreciation in transaction OAYZ (ANKB-XSPEB / Indicator: Block asset class chart of depreciation-specifc). But I think that I will still see the asset class in the match code search (F4) when I set this indicator.
Does anybody know how I can delete an asset class form a chart of depreciation so that it won't be found via match code search? I've checked almost the whole FI-AA tree but haven't found a solution...
Thank you very much!
Regards,
Peter

Hi Eric,
thanks for your answer. As far as I can see, the option "chart of depreciation only" in transaction AM05 has the same effect than the parameter "chart of depreciation" in transaction OAYZ.
As I receive a transport request via transaction AM05, it seems that this changes the same customizing table.
Fortunately, all company codes in this chart of depreciation need the same settings, so a validation rule seems not to be necessary.
It's just strange that there is no possibility to edit the assignment asset class to chart of depreciation in customizing (I think the assignment to all asset classes in the system will be created automatically when I copy the chart of depreciation). I think the only possibility would be to edit the respective tables manually (what I definitely won't do).
Another strange thing I see in the system: There are 2 asset classes 120203 and 120204, which are both set up equally. When I try to block these in AM05, I'll receive the error message AA 111 for asset class 120204, while the asset class 120203 can be blocked without problems. When I use matchcode search F4, I can see 120203 while 120204 is not found.
Message AA111 is the following:
Chart of dep. 100 does not exist in class 120204 (Create chart of deprec.)
Diagnosis
Chart of depreciation 100 does not exist in class 120204.
Procedure
Create the chart of depreciation 100 for asset class 120204 using the transaction 'Create asset class' and the function 'Create chart of dep.'.
There is the assignment asset class to chart of depreciation.
When I check asset class 120204 in OAYZ (Determine Depreciation Areas in the Asset Class) I'll get the following message (I don't get this message when I check 120203):
Deprec. area 50 was changed and deactivated. Please check.
Message no. AC 631
Diagnosis
Depreciation area 50 was added to asset class 120204 because this depreciation area was newly created in Customizing.
System Response
The system adds the new depreciation area to the asset class, but its status is 'deactivated.'
Procedure
Check if this action by the system is correct. Maintain the depreciation areas in the asset class, and remove the 'deactivated' indicator there, if you choose.
For sure, depreciation area 50 was not newly created in customizing (as stated in the error message), as this depreciation are is in production for years! There must be another reason for this.
However, this says to me that the assignment asset class to chart of depreciation is created by SAP automatically and this can't be influenced.
Therefore I'll just block the asset class in the chart of depreciation with the disadvantage, that I'll see this asset class when I use the matchcode search F4 (e.g. in AS01). This seems to be the only solution.
Thanks again for your help (you got some points for that ;-).

Peter

Asset Transfer Report with matching new asset number

Hi,
During the past week, our company transferred over 2000 assets from several companies to one company. As a result of the transfer, the tax depreciation keys and tax depreciation life weren't carried over to the new assets. I am wondering if anyone here know how can I generate a asset transfer report with one column listing all transferred out assets and another column listing matching transferred in assets? I used ZFI_INTERCOASTR- Intercompany Asset Transfer, it gave me a transfer report with all the transfer in and transfer out in one column.
Edited by: Peggy Wang on Nov 24, 2009 3:40 PM

Hi,
you can create yourself an ABAP Query on logical database ADA. In node ANEK you have per each (transfer) transaction the information from which asset the transfer was done. With the ABAP Query you can configure your output list completely flexible.

Markus

Cannot see asset report year 2008

cannot see asset report year 2008
the system show that i must change fiscal year.
but i want to see report year 2008 before calculate depreciation month 12.2008.
what should i do ?
please help.

Hi
If u use fiscal year V3 Variant means April to march , thenthis error is not showing
But if u use calender year variant means Jan toi Dec , then this error is
showing
U can change asset Fiscal year first , then u see the report
Note : it is not mandetory u run the depreciation first then u chnage the asset fiscal year
In Asset accounting 2 financial period are open
Suppose if u use fyApril 2008 -march09 and new financial year start april2009-march10 , then u close the period in asset accounting april2007-,march08
Same in case of calneder yera , if u use calender yera jan 08 to dec 09 and new financial year jan2010 to dec 2010, then u close the periodin asset accounting jan 07 to dec 07
so first u close the asset period t.code ajab , then u chnage the fiscal year ajrw
Then u see the report
If u have any query , feel free ask me , if this is suitable then give me suitable point out of 20

To Reduce Asset Value Which has Run Depreciation

Hi,
I have a request to reduce asset value, but the asset has run depreciation for three month in the system, I want to know how to reduce the asset value and recalculate previous depreciation posted value of the asset?
Please share the detailed procedure within the thread, if can provide the manual for this case step by step, it's better! Thanks in advance.
All suggestion will be awarded.
Tao

Hi Tao,
Do you want to reduce the Asset value from $10,000 to $ 5,000? If so, please post a Credit entry to the asset account.
        pstg
CR    75       Asset account         ****
DR    40       Concerned account ****
If you are in the same year, then the system would recalculate the Depr and post the difference in the next Depr run. But if you are in the different FY, then post a write up depr for the Asset value reduced (Depr on $5,000 in previous FY). Use t-code ABZU to post the write up.
Please revert in case you have any questions.
