Automatic Posting in different depreciation area (4.7 and 6.0)

Dear all,
I want to understand how it is possible the procedure of automatic posting in different depreciation areas.
Exemple: I post a specific movement via ABAON, and automatically the system creates another document (with sequencial number, because uses THE SAME DOCUMENT TYPE), to another depreciation area (using ASKB). And that procedure happens in 4.7 version.
Now, in different version, like ECC 6.0, the system react the same as in 4.7, but uses another method when creates the document, as I say in the next path:
Financial Accounting >Asset Accounting>Integration with the General Ledger>Post APC Values Periodically to the General Ledger>Specify Document Type for Periodic Posting of Asset Values
This is the customization part to associate the new document (another depreciation area, as I've explained before).
This step is possible to choose only one document type. But in version 4.7 (at least it is what is happening in my client) the document type is choosen according to the first document, the one, I post in ABAON (or another transaction with similar characterics).
Please anyone can help me?
Thanks in advance,
CCT

Addendum:
The options in ECC 6.0 are:
0 Area Does Not Post
1 Area Posts in Realtime
2 Area Posts APC and Depreciation on Periodic Basis
3 Area Posts Depreciation Only
4 Area Posts APC Directly and Depreciation     -> V2 update
5 Area Posts APC Only
6 Area Posts Only APC Directly                         -> V2 update
If in the area is set the posting indicator 4 or 6 (V2) than it means it's a virtual posting (like 'post direct'). The postings in those area area technically processed via "V2-update". With this update a log table is written where all successul updates of this area are stored.
When you start RAPBER2000 this log table is compared against all postings (since the last run) and if there is any posting missing RAPERB2000 collects this missing posting.
This means, if in background for some reason, that we cannot tell in retrospect, there was an update error, or an error occurs due to missing customizing (please check you ASKBN posting in transaction ARAL which should tell what happened during your posting) ASKBN will pick up the outstanding posting and created/posts the FI document.
In your case the difference might be that This documents is posted either directly per V2 posting (=realtime) or later with RAPERB2000 and this causes different document types.

Posting for different APC values to different Depreciation Areas

Hi All,
I am trying to manage in ECC 6.0, different APC values for different depreciation areas, i.e. APC values differ from one dep area to another. I need to post the APC to GL only (i.e. for the 01 i.e. Book Depreciation area). For the remaining depreciation areas for the purposes of reporting I need to maintain different APC values.
One way to achieve this is by maintaining Parallel ledger. Is there any other way this can be achieved.
Thanks in advance
Krishna

Hi,
Use the trnasaction ABSO and clik in the button Dep. Area.
Now you can fill in the value by depreciation area. (when this is set up) use the Trans act type 100

Logic of different Depreciation Areas

Hi,
Kindly tell me the logic of different Depreciation eys?
Regards

depreciation areas are used to calculate different values in parallel for each fixed asset for different purposes. For example, you may require different types of values for the balance sheet than for cost accounting or tax purposes. You manage the depreciation terms and values necessary for this valuation in the depreciation areas of each asset.
SAP allows you to define up to 99 depreciation areas, you can manage many different types of valuation (Customizing: Valuation). Depreciation areas are grouped together, according to the requirements of a specific country or economic area, into a chart of depreciation
You can post both the asset balance sheet values and the depreciation values from the individual depreciation areas to separate balance sheet accounts or income statement accounts in the general ledger. You specify the accounts individually in the account determination key for each depreciation area. Define the account determination key in FI-AA Customizing and specify the key in the particular asset class
Usually you need to post more than one depreciation area in parallel to the general ledger if you are creating different financial statement versions. You can define any number of balance sheet versions per chart of accounts in FI (General Ledger) for this purpose. For each balance sheet account and income statement account, you specify in the financial statement version the balance sheet position or income statement position in which the account values should appear
The depreciation areas in a chart of depreciation have no automatically defined features. You determine the features of each area individually, based on the basic structure, which is the same for all depreciation areas. You can make specifications for the following levels for each depreciation area:
At the chart of depreciation level
At the company code level
For legacy data transfer
Features at Chart of Depreciation Level
Use
You can specify the following features for a depreciation area at the chart of depreciation level (Customizing: Valuation ® Depreciation Areas).
Features
Posting Values from Depreciation Area to General Ledger
You can automatically post asset balance sheet values (APC/ proportional value adjustments) and depreciation from each depreciation area to the corresponding general ledger accounts. You can choose whether values are automatically posted immediately online in Financial Accounting (at present, only possible for one area per chart of depreciation; with two exceptions: investment support areas managed on the liabilities side, and areas solely for revaluation), or are posted automatically at periodic intervals to Financial Accounting.
In addition, you can specify that only depreciation (no APC values) should be posted automatically. This type of posting might be useful for depreciation areas for cost accounting depreciation.
Managing Certain Values
In the definition of a depreciation area, you can specify if the area should manage acquisition and production costs (APC). Areas that do not manage APC are, for example, depreciation areas only for value adjustments shown on the liabilities side (for example, investment support).
In addition, you specify in each depreciation area whether the net book value of assets in the area is allowed to be positive and/or negative. The system rejects any posting that leads to a net book value that contradicts the rule you entered.
Allow negative net book value in all areas
That have depreciation below zero
That are intended for value adjustments shown on the liabilities side
That are derived depreciation areas, and can have negative values because of their calculation formula.

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

Different Transaction Types for Different Depreciation Areas

Dear Friends,
When I am viewing the asset explorer for the asset, it is oberved that for book derpreciation 01, the asset transaction type "acquisition value" is updated and am able to view the same.
However when I am going through the tax depreciation area, the transaction type intercompany transfer" got updated and the acquisition values are not updated.
I would like know the reason of how the system is going to update different transaction types in different depreciation areas since the postings only takes effect in book depreciation and same should be diplayed for tax depreciation.
Thanks in advance!

hi
go to OAYA
select "Limit Transaction Types to Depreciation Areas"
select the trnsaction type you using .
select depreciation area specification
and maintain entries for every dep area you want to maintain for transaction type.

How to post depreciation to different depreciation areas

Hi,
Can any body explain how to post depreciation to different dep areas other than 01 book dep,
and how to take the reports according GAAP and IAS.
Regards,
prasad

Hi,
When you create depreciation areas like Book, Tax, Costing etc., the system posts values like APC and Depreciation simultaneously in all the areas. You don't need to do any thing.
Just posting values through F-90, F-92, etc and for Depreciation AFABN.
This above holds good as long as you are posting to a single ledger.
The above answer is slightly different in case you are having parallel ledgers. Let me explain by taking an example.
Lets assume you are implementing for an Indian client whose parent compnay is in Dutch.
As per Indian GAAP you need to submit the local reporting on April to March basis and for Ducth Jan - Dec.
Assets in Indian GAAP are capitalised with values including frieght, Installation and trial run till Commencement date lets say @ 20%
Assets in Ducth GAAP are capitalised with only Cost, Frieght & Insurance (This is only an example) and the depreciation rate is 15%.
In this scenario you will be creating two ledgers(IN SAP sense and not the accounting GLs) with different fiscal year variants and will be defining Leding ledger and Non leading ledgers and Ledger Groups.
IN this case lets assueme Indian GAAP is Leading ledger and Dutch GAAP is Non Leading ledger and a ledger Group lets say "LG"
When you post using the transation code FB01L you will be using ledgers or ledger groups that are effecting with this transaction.
If you use the regular T codes without using the Ledger Groups, System posts the transaction to all ledgers simultaneously.
When You want to post the transaction as I said in the above example, you will be using FB01L like capitalising total cost in "LeadingLedger" and upto CIF value to "Non leading ledger"
NOw from the configuration front you will be creating seperate set of Depreciation keys for each GAAP and will be creating a depereciation area for Dutch GAAP.
You will also need to create a derived depreciation area which is the difference of Book Dep Area (as per Leading Ledger) and teh Duthc GAAP depreciation area (Non leading ledger). You can use the Wizard here which will guide you.
For Book depreciation are its always realtime posting and for other areas its periodic posting. i.e. as a monthend process you need to do,
For this you need to run TCODE ASKBN (Periodical posting ) anad AFABN.
ASKBN checks for the difference in APCs, Depreciations, Loss or gain on account of retirements differently for diffrent depreciation areas and posts the values.
When it comes to reporting all Standard reports will give you the flexibility of taking the reports based on Depreciation areas.
You have a TCODE "OARP" where in you will get all the asset related transaction reports.
The above scenerio is explained with an assumption of you using SAP Version above 4.7EE.
Reward if you find this explanation useful.

Avoid depreciation posting for a depreciation area

Hello experts,
I have the following problem:
I created a new valuation area for fixed assets that is to be active since 31.12.2007. Values are going to be uploaded for the new area in this transfer date. Afterwards, depreciation for years 2008, 2009 and 2010 is to be run in order to post the depreciation of the new area during these years but I don´t want any depreciation to be posted in area 01 by any means, because for this area depreciation is already posted. I know that no depreciation shoud be posted because planned depreciation is already equal to real depreciation in area 01 but just in any case I would like to avoid depreciation to be posted in this area.
So, I thought about shutting down the asset for area 01 but when testing it. I don´t see the efect, I mean the asset keeps depreciating. I put the shutdown flag in the asset master data and also created a new depreciation key, to assign a different key depending on depreciation area. For the area I need sutdown, shutdown indicator is set to "yes" at the assignment of calculation method (transaction AFAMA) but for the depr. area I don´t need the sutdown indicator is set to "no" .
Is it a good idea to use asset shutdown in this case or is there any risk of area 01 trying to adjust the already posted depreciation?
Why shutting down the asset is failing since I configured both asset master master and depr. key?
Is there another solution (different to shutdown) to avoid posting depreciations in area 01?
Thanks in advace, rmb

Hi,
my last answer was wrong - I'm sorry.
Shutdown is the correct solution.
For shutdown there are 2 settings relevant.
1) in Asset master date you hav set the flat shotdown.
2) In depr. Key you have not set "Shutdown. Yes"
      ad 2)
AFAMA:
Depr. Key
    -> Assignment of Calculation Methods
     -> please see the last field below.
For sure I would not change the standard depr. key, i would make a copy.

No posting information for depreciation are 30 US GAAP

Dear expert:
We use parallel accounting with account-base solution(specific accounts + common accounts) for local and US GAAP,our system key configure as following:
OADB:define depreciation area
Area. Name of area Real g/l
01 Book depreciation ticked 1
30(Copy 01) US GAAP depreciation ticked 4
FS00:Create G/L accounts according to AO90,One accounts group set of local FA default accounts,another accounts group set of FA for US GAAP which start with "U" .
AO90: define G/L for depreciation area 01 and 30 seperately with different accounts group set of FA.
finanly use f-90/AFAB/ABAVN.. to post, FI document only has the local FA g/l accounts of depreciation area 01, No information about the US GAAP FA G/L accounts of depreciation area 30.
Please help me out ,thanks.
Best regards

Hello John
     The indicator of Post to G/L account of depreciation area 30 is "4 area posts APC directly and depreciation",here is APC directly,maybe it shouldn't need to run ASKB,
     If the indicator of Post to G/L account is "2 APC and depreciation area on periodic basis**" it should need to run ASKB.
     I do not quite understand the function ASKB, and system returns error when I run ASKB as you said:
Error 1
Account F21100001 in company code 1000 cannot be directly posted to
Message no. F5354
Diagnosis
Account "F21100001" in company code "1000" is marked as a reconciliation account for account type "A" and cannot therefore be directly posted to.

Accounts for different depreciation areas

Hello all!
I have the following question:
In our company there are 3 depreciation areas for assets. And my problem is that when I try to look through the accounts in depr.areas, I see the same accounts in all areas as in main one. But the account should be different in accordance to AO90 and dep. areas. When I run ASKBN to provide postings in GL, my accounts in AW01N for areas are not changed - Debit and Credit are the same for all.
I expected t see different account for different areas, Could I get it and how???
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Is your all 3 dep areas will post to GL?
Thanks,

GR/IR Automatic Clearing for Different Business areas items

Hello All,
we have different business areas, and some times we create a PO for all business areas and invoice it in a specific business area
in F.13 automatic clearing:
for GR/IR account
Documents with different business area cannot be cleared.
any idea to solve this issue is appreciated,

Thanks for your reply,
I've tried such a solution with more parameters ( EBELN, XREF3 and EBELP)
but in F.13 :
- the document cannot be cleared when >>> selecting GR/IR account special process.
if we treat GR account as a normal GL account, I mean without selecting GR/IR account special process.
the document can be clear
i want to be able to clear the document with selecting GR/IR field ( is it possible )
and if it is not allowed, do we will face a problem by clearing GR account without selecting GR/IR parameter ??
Many Thanks

Different Year of closing in different Depreciation Areas

Hello Asset Gurus, we are on ECC 5.0 and we did in 2009 activate a new depreciation area 32 in two of our chart of accounts to make them same as the other two chart of deprections for easy inter-company asset transfers. We did use AFBN to activate this new depreciation area and completed year-end.
However we were implementing SRM project usings a parallel quality system and in the process, somehow got the fiscal year closed for depreciation area to be 2007 instead of 2009. The OAAQ show that the fiscal year close for all company codes is 2009 but OAAR show that the fiscal year closed to be 2007 for depreciation are 32.
We need to resolve this before we get this year-end and want to know if you guys have any idea in during this directly in the production system using OAAR or some other transaction and what are the draw backs, if any.
Thanks for your feedback.
Joseph Teli

ji,
You can change the last closed FY for a single dep area direclty in OAAR.
Hope your FY is APR to March
Then first close the FY 2009 by AJAB.
And open Fy 2010 by AJRW
Now change the last closed FY to 2007 in OAAR for 32 area.
No other implications in this regard till the next year end closing of FY 2010. Means to open FY 2011 in AJRW in next year, you must close Fi-AA till FY 2009 atleast. Coz you can open only 2 years at a time in FI-AA.
Thanks,
Srinu

Which Depreciation Area is used to post values to G/L

Hi,
I do understand that multiple depreciation area can be created and used in asset master at the same time to meet multiple requirements of the company. Lets say that we have two separate requirements of handling Depreciation of Vehicles. Book depreciation and Tax Depreciation.lets say that the companies policy is to depreciate vehicles @ 10% but tax authority required it to be depreciated @ 15%. Now i can create two different depreciation areas for this and assign two different rates in asset master against each depreciation area. my question is when i execute the depreciation run through AFAB which amount of depreciation will be posted to G/L account? Book depreciation of tax depreciation? if only book depreciation is to be posted to G/L where would i get asset position based in tax depreciation rate and what will be the purpose of creating a separate depreciation area if no posting is going to be made to G/L with its reference. Please help me out here i am completely lost.
Regards,

Hi Faizan,
We do maintain all the depreciation area in t-code OADB. Under each depreciation area, we define if depreciation post in Real time or not. If you are using classic GL, you will select this option for Book Dep area only. For Tax dep area, no real posting will be done, however you can view the dep details in asset reports.
If you are using new GL, then refer to below link. This could be useful.
