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

Depreciation Posting for Unit of Production Method

HI,
This question is related to posting of Unit of Production depreciation method.
Ref to my own Thread - Hourly Depreciation on Assets
I have configured the deprecitaion key for UoP method. The same is been assigned in Asset Master.
But now the problem is, during AFAB processing the assets with UoP depreciation key is not getting picked.
Is there any other way to post the depreciation for such asstes?
Thanks & Regards,
Ajay Gupte

Hi,
Thanks for your replies.
1. UL field status is optional in "screen layout for depreciation areas" config and we do not want to change to any other method, t.code OA77 does not exist.
As per help for field UL it says "If a useful life is not entered in the asset class, and you use depreciation keys that calculate automatically, this field is a required entry regardless of the settings in the screen layout control".
2. Thanks for this we are using 0018, if we use 0019 it is calculating.
I will try this and let you know.

Asset calculate depreciation by unit of production method

Hello Everyone,
       since SAP go live , our SAP system use calcuation depreciation by straight line method in all asset class
but now we would like to change asset class "Machine" calculate depreciation by unit of production method .
we want all asset in asset class "Machine" have their own depreciation also.
such as Machine A can produce 10,000 unit in life time , 2014 period 1 produce 500 unit , 2014 period 2 produce 200 unit ,so each period have different depreciaiton value
Machine B can produce 300 unit in life time , 2014 period 1 produce 22 unit , 2014 period 2 produce 14 unit , so each period have different depreciation value
so each asset number should their own depreciation value.
I read some SAP document about unit of production calculation method such as http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/dd/ea2c7dd435d1118b3f0060b03ca329/content.htm
and other sources.
it's look like that SAP use depreciation key ,and transaction code AO25 ( to specify production unit in each period)
so if we have 10,000 asset number that want to use calculate depreciaiton by unit of production method.
do we have to configure 10,000 depreciation key and then use transaction code AO25 to specify production in each period ?
do we have better solution to calculate depreciation by unit of production ?     If possible we do not want to configure 10,000 depreciation key.
Thank you in advance

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 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.

You can lock the asset classed as per COD from t.code AM05 or one more you can lock the asset classes from OAOA.
Go to OAOA select your said asset class see Lock Status area there you can see option Asset class is blocked Tick it.

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.

Repeat depreciation, after changes in depreciation key

Hi Everybody,
Could you please explain the problem - The depreciation was posted till to 5th period. Now I want to change depreciation percentage for one asset from begining of the 1st period, now we are in 6 th period. It is possible to do depreciation run
for one asset from 1st to 5th period?
Thanks for watching Forum.
Regards

You change the depreciation rate for the asset.
Then in the depreciation run put only that asset for which you have changed the depreciation rate, then make a test run to see if you are getting the desired results.
Then you can make the depreciation production run. But in case of production run depreciation will run for all the periods. You cannot run only for that particular asset in production run.
You can make a repeat run for all the assets as you have the comfort that you have verified the depreciation calculated during the test run.

How to get Depreciation key independant from Depreciation area

Hello,
We are using two depreciation areas 01 book depreciation and 15 Tax, in our asset class we have put for both the same depreciation key (GD50) but with a different uselife for every depreciation area
Now when we create a new asset (AS01) intially the correct uselife appears ( tab depreciation area) but apparently when i want to change the one for depreciation area 01 its also changed in depreciation area 15 - how can we avoid that 15 is 'linked' to 01?
Many thanks

Depreciation run for specific depreciation area

Hi,
In AA, we defined 2 depreciation area for all the assets class, one for local(01), another one for group(30). all the area will be posted to FI.
according to requirement, we would like to stop specific depreciation area depreciation run for certain asset(not asset class). this means that for depreciation area 01, it will be work, but for 30, it should be stopped. may be 3 months later, this asset will be restart run depreciation for area 30.
Would anyone know how to do that? thanks.
Ben

Hi
Hope you have to change the Config settings then.
Go to AO21 and select your screen layout and double click Field Group rules and under FG 18 you have Deactiv. area make this enrty optional and also select the check box MnNo.
Save the entry.
Come back to AS02,now the dep area will be available for deactivation.
Good Luck

Deactivating ABAP UNIT in Production system

Hi All,
I have gone through the documention of ABAP UNIT for unit testing. In the documents it is mentioned that the Test classes created for Unit Testing are Local Classes and does not make any negative impact on the Production environment Because these classes are Inactive in Production system.
Can anyone please reply to the follwoing:
1) Are the Test classes Inactive by default in production system?
2) If No then what is the procedure for Deactivating Test classes in the production environment?
3) What is the transaction code for checking the status (active/inactive) these classes?
4) Is the menu path Programs->Test-> ABAP_Unit is inactive in production?
Thanks and Regards,
Ashvender

1) Unit Test Framework will look for the Type of Client. If your client is Production client, Unit test framework will automatically make them inactive.
The check happens to allow to run Unit test in FM SABP_AU_TEST_PROGRAM_FROM_EU.
3) Unit Test classes will be complied in the production system but you will not be able to exectue them.
When we create Unit test in development, Table TAUNIT_PROG_INFO is being updated (HAS_TESTS = 'X'). But when we transport our objects along with the ABAP Unit in Production client, this table is not being updated.
4) You can try running the ABAP unit by Program > Test > Unit Test in Production, but will give you message "Unit tests are not possible in production clients".
