Asset depreciation date setting

Hi ,
I am facing difficulty .
When asset is acquired through *Purchase order* and then *Goods Receipt* Document date: 10.03.2011, *Posting date: 14.06.2011,* system populate the *depreciation start date as 14.06.2011*, here system take this date from posting date.
The problem is that some time assets came before Gr so I want the depreciation start from the day when actually assest physically arrived in the company on 10.03.2011 instead of posting date .
Is there any possible way in which i can relate depreciation start date to the document date rather than posting date .
Thanks and Regards ,
Shikha Singh Chauhan

Hi,
If this situation happens not often, the best and easy solution for this is to change the ORD DEP START DATE manually in AS02.
Basically, while receipt of physical assets itself you will get the delivery order also, so people do MIGO immidiatly. But there wont be a point where doc date and posting date are having gap of 3 months.....
By changing the asset value date determination rules as suggested by consultants above will serve your purpose, but there are some limitations involved in it. since if you set DOC DATE as DEP ST DATE, then both dates must fall under same FY.
Ex: if you follow calendar year as your FY, if you receive physical asset on 25Dec and receipt delivery order on 05Jan....Since in this scenario, system will not allow you to enter these dates, again system should have the ALT RULE for value date determination also in the below path.
SPRO->Financial Accounting->Asset Accounting->Transactions->Specify How Default Asset Value Date is Determined->Define variant for determining default asset value date-> select the variant (SAP_DEFAULT)->Business Transactions->Acquisition from goods receipt-----For this transaction, you must have PRIMARY RULE as well ALT RULE.
Hope you got my point.

Srinu

System Picks up wrong Asset valuation date

Our fiscal year is OCT- SEP. Asset Revaluation took place in FEB 2010.
To post revaluation, I use transaction ABAW and Transaction type 897 for the revaluation with Asset date FEB 2010. But when I run depreciation System posts new adjustment considering this revaluation occurred as in Oct 2009, First month of fiscal year. (Even I put Asset value date of FEB 2010 in ABAW)So I am getting error in new depreciation posting.
I donu2019t know why it is calculating revaluation based on Oct 2009 book value instead of Jan 2010.
I appreciate your valuable inputs.
Thank you.

Is that anything to do with period control settings?
Kindly let me know if someone knows about asset value date setting in period control data for revaluation.

Depreciation area set in Asset Class does not appear in asset master data

Depreciation area does not appear in the asset master data however it is set in the Asset class. If other asset is created in the same Asset class that depreciation area is automatically set in the asset master (it proofs that it is not a problem with Asset class).
I tried to set that deprecition area directly in the asset master data but all the fields are blocked for changing (is it possible to change that?).
What should I do as I need to post on that area ?
Thank you,
Jean

Ok Zaid! thanks,
But what treatment should I give to that asset? Because now it is not being evaluated in that area but we need to do it.
The asset was created in the prior exercise (year).

Jean

Set up Depreciation Key with specific depreciation date

Hi Gurus,
       Our system is ERP 4.7. I am trying to set up the depreciation key with the specific depreciation date. Here is more detail; I have the tax requirement that the asset will get depreciated at 25% until 03/31/08 and 20% from 04/01/08. Is there a way that we can set up according to the requirement?
       Here is an example based on the logic. The asset is capitalized on 01/01/08 with the acquisition value, $1000. That means at 01/01/09 the accumulation depreciation will be 212.5 ( 3 month at 25% and 9 month at 20%). After 01/01/09 the asset will be depreciate with 20% until becoming $0
       I have been investigating in Multi-Level Methods, but it seem like I can define only year and period.
       If you know the solution, could you please provide with the detail how to set up?
Regards,
Song

How to update the New Depreciation Area in Asset Master Data

Hi,
Please guide me
How to update the New Depreciation Area in the Asset Master Data.
Regards
Srinivas

Hi,
a) The procedure is as follows:
1. Create Depreciation area via OADB.
2. Activate Depreciation area via OAYZ.
3. Automatic opening of new depreciation are via AFBN and program
   RAFABNEW :
3.1     Indicator: Leave values initial = not ticked.
           Do not set this indicator if you want the system
           to copy the values from depreciation area 01.
3.2     Indicator: Leave values initial = ticked.
           Set this indicator if you want to open the newly created
           depreciation area without any values i.e. blank.
4. Recalculate depreciation via AFAR and program RAAFAR00.
b) Helpful notes:
430618 (Procedure for setting up new depreciation area)
301113 (Restrictions of RAFABNEW)
421549 (RAFABNEW: Error with closed fiscal years)
c) A documenttation you find if you enter RAFABNEW in SE38 and press the butto "documentation"

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.
regards Bernhard

How to include depreciation are in asset master data

I have already activated depreciation area in the asset class but it did not appear inn asset master data.
How to include it there?
Tks,
Naej

Hi,
There are 2 aspect which you need to consider.
1) For exisiting asset as used AFBN as suggested by Srinivasa to activate the depreciation area.
2) For new asset OAYZ configuation would populate the dep key and life.
Thanks

Different Asset value dates for different depreciation areas

Hi All
I have a requirement for different capitalization dates in different depreciation areas for some LATAM countries .How can this be achieved?

Hi
Hope you can achive this requirement by entering Depreciation calculation start date in depreciation area tab of asset master against each depreciation area
Depreciation calculation start date
'As a general rule, the system determines the depreciation start date from the asset value date of the first acquisition posting. However, you can also manually enter a calendar date in the asset master record for the start of depreciation. In that case, the system ignores the asset value date of the acquisition posting.'
Please check different scenarios in development system and then do it

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

Setting the Asset Value date as the dep start date

Hi,
I need to pick depreciation from the asset value date and NOT the dep start date in the asset master record. Is this possible? IF it is, then what config changes needs to be done.
Thanks

Hi
You can define that in the multi level method assigned to your depreciation key.
Assign points if the information is useful to you

Asset depreciation in a closed fiscal year

Hello,
After closing fiscal year 2010 we noticed that asset "A" start depreciation date was incorrectly set to December, 15.
Now we have corrected this date to December, 1. SAP have re-calculated the depreciation so we have aditional USD 600 planned for December. (we have UDS 600 posted + USD 600 planned).
Is there anyway to force those USD 600 to be posted on the new fiscal year 2011?
Is there any other way to arrange our depreciation issue withhoul opening 2010 for posting?
Thank you in beforehand.
Juanma.

Hi
I believe, OAYF is relevant for recalculating asset accum dep during Legacy data transfer.... I dont know if it would help in this case
If you have not done the FY 2010 closing, system wont allow you to close till the time all planned depreciations are posted...
Refer note 619969... You can run AFAB for Period 13 and post the dep in Period 12.... After that, do a balance carry forward
However, if you dont wanna post in 2010 any more, then dont change the Dep Start date.... Let it remain as Dec 15.... You can post Unplanned dep for Jan 2011 using ABAA - Followed by AFAB (Unplanned option)

Asset capitalization date

Dear Experts,
I am buying asset by PO. As far as I know, when we check goods receipt field in PO, system must use MIGO ( goods receipt ) date as capitalization date of asset. but when I try to do MIGO for such an asset, system shows me following error:
- Asset 1111 111000010-0 is incomplete, check the asset Message no. AAPO184
Diagnosis
The 'incomplete' indicator was set for asset 1001 111000010-0 because required entries were not made.
After investigating I see in asset master data, that asset does not have capitalization date and system consider that asset incomplete. ( I created asset at the time of creating PO ). please tell me why this happens and system needs capitalization date while capitalization date for that asset must be MIGO date. and system must not stop me and show error.

Hi rakesh
Capitalization date were system will calculate the actual depreciation and how it can be GRN date ??
When you create assets in master data system you have to give capitalization date not as GRN date

Asset strat date

Hi,
I have purchased asset in 01.11.2008 dep need to be calculated from this date
configration is required for the above issue
Thanks and Regards
Radha

Your question is not providing the exact problem you are facing. However, depreciation start date is depended on following points.
1. At asset master data --> Depreciation area --> there is feild for "Ordinary depreciation start date" system consideres this date for calculation of depreciation.
2. System determines above date based on depreciation keys used as per configuration setting at period control of deprecition key.
3. However ever above date can be manually chaned by user while creating asset master record.

Asset acquisition date (How to change?)

Hi all,
As per http://www.jt77.com/financials/finan-15236.html
Asset capitalization date = 1day of depreciation calculation
Asset acquisition date = day of first cost allocation to the asset
Asset value date = date of effect in asset account of a posting
From the above dates, I would like to have a try to give my understanding on them.
Let say I have acquire an asset through a PO -> GR -> IR on 15 Oct 2007.
If I set the Cap Date as on 01 Nov 2007, and Asset Value date as on 01 Dec 2007, does this mean that ...
Question 1:
My Asset depreciation will starts on Dec, with 2 months depreciation, which is Nov and Dec (because my Asset Cap Date is on 01 Nov 2007)?
Question 2:
What if I want to change the Asset acquisition date to, say 01 Nov 2007?
I tried AB08 to reverse the asset, and change the GR posting date (through MIGO), and these date affect asset value date only.
I tried also to reverse the IR (using MR8M) and re-post the IR using Miro, with different Invoice and Posting date, these date only affect the FI documents.
I tried AS02, and I can only change Cap date, and NOT the acquisition date.
Please help on this, and clarify the usage / importance of the acquisition date.
As per AS03 (wrong first acquisition date)
Andreas Mann said that crucial is the "asset value date" (field BZDAT)it should be 31.05.2007, than first acquisition date is not important

Capitalization Date= Date on which the asset will be capitalized
Acqusition Date= Date on which first transaction is done on the asset after creation. It cannot be changed once a value is posted to the asset
Asset Value Date is important to determine the Depreciation
Asset value Date determines the postings to the asset. You can set the configuration for default asset value date. It is the date with which user wants to post to the asset, i.e it can be Document Date, Posting Date, Capitalization Date, Goods Receipt date. Check the list in
Asset Accounting> Transactions> Specify How Default Asset Value Date is Determined
Ordinary Depreciation Start Date Date on which the system starts calculates and posts depreciation
Ordinary Depreciation Start Date can be determined by the system through Priod controls defined or entered manually by the user. If entered manually it surpass the system calculated date.
