Asset Depreciation Write up ABZU

Hi Guys,
Our client has migrated the asset balances and unfortunately there was a depreciation run which made their balances out by few thousand dollars compare to their legacy system. Initially I have suggested ABZU (write up) bearing in mind that all the assets have opening balances from previous year. It worked fine with assets which had migrated opening balances (period 0) but there were some assets which were migrated from old system but acquired in current year. Now thatu2019s where the problem occurs, as system doesnu2019t allow ABZU with no opening balances or previous year balances.
Is there any way I can do some adjustment to depreciation posted and reduce a portion of depreciation and add it back to asset account.
Can you please provide your expert advise here.
Thanks

How are tax updates handled in SAP for asset depreciation?

We are implementing Assets and currently using a system that not only calculates the tax on depreciation but also updates any new changes to the taxes as mandated by the federal and state government.
My understanding is that SAP does not auto update the tax changes in the system unless we have a tax software, is that right? And if we have no need for a tax software just to update depreciation tax changes, what are the options out there that will enable the new tax to be calculated and applied in SAP?
We are looking for an auto option instead of manually updating the percentage rates/tax for calculating depreciation in SAP. Is there any software that can be interfaced to SAP that can perform this function and enable the calculation of depreciation tax?
Appreciate any input/suggestions or help in resolving this issue.
Thanks

In AM you set-up a separate depreciation are for TAX with complete different rules as your normal depreciation. You can do with it what you want to get the correct values.
Based on your tax requirements you can set this up. If there is a specific question you can drop it on this forum:
You have option like revaluation, inflation, unplanned depreciation, write up...... When you have activated the extension AE-FIN you have some extra options.
There is not a standard for tax changes. You have to know the change and based on that to use the correct option to update the values. There are hundreds of possible changes.

Asset depreciation posting via interface

Hello,
My client would like to use WBS elements as investment measures to bring capital projects through WIP and capitalize to FXA's. However, they want to maintain an external asset accounting system as the system of record for depreciation, write ups, write downs, etc. Our system will receive these postings via interface.
They would also like to record depreciation of a single FXA to various WBS elements based upon a crosswalk from the asset accounting system. I am trying to find a way to make multiple JV's to post this,
Dr Depreciation expense, key 40 - WBS
CR Accumulated Depreciation, key 75 - FXA.
Thus, FI-AA's manual depreciation and unplanned depreciation transactions will not meet this requirement as far as I can tell.
I have been trying to make ABF1 or FB01 work. ABF1 will allow for this posting, however, I am not able to select the individual asset on the credit line. Is this a screen layout configurable item? FB01 will not allow a depreciation transaction type to be used in the transaction at all.
Can anyone help with this?
Thanks,
John

To be frank, any solution that is built around something like ABF1 should be reconsidered. I'm all for delivering creative solutions when required to but wouldn't propose something like that to a customer... at least not without a "you'll get no support from SAP on something like this". Since the external system will track all of the asset's depreciation calculations and value adjustments, why not just post a simple FI document using a BADI? Why muck it up with ABF1? It would seem that if they accept the fact that they are leaving SAP then they are leaving behind some integration benefits as well. Trying to regain those benefits by posting to a recon account and (hopefully) maintaining a reconciled set of books between the GL and FIAA isn't logical to me.
Posting costs to a series of CO objects is the job of CO. You might be able to come up with a solution using FI-AA but I would expect more problems related to document creation as you have already found. Just post it to a high level WBS/IO and then allocate using whatever logic they require. At least you'll have the tools to do so within CO.

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 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

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

Hi,
Try Reports
S_ALR_87012936 - Depreciation on Capitalized Assets (Depreciation Simula

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

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?

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

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
