Bonus depreciation Economic Stimulus Act of 2008 for FY Apr-Mar company

Dear SAP expert,
I tried to apply bonus depreciation by referring SAP note 1148489. But in some cases, I have a problem.
Our company's fiscal year is Apr.-Mar. Not Jan.-Dec.
I registered a test asset of acquired on 3/31/2008(eligible bonus dep.) and assigned depreciation key which is configured for the bonus depreciation to the asset in the master data. But when I tried to assign the dep.key, system shows error message.
Another case, asset acquired on 4/1/2008, system looks working properly.
I guess the system needs different configuration if company fiscal year is Apr.-Mar.
Could anyone help the above issue?
Yoshi

Thank you for your comment.
Is it multi level method? If so, I tried both 2008 and 9999. But it did not work same error(E651 SYST: Depreciation key ZTX1 is incorrect).
The definition is the following.
Acq.Year:2008
Years:0
Per:1
BaseVal.:01
Percent: 0.0000
Rem.Life: blank
Reduc.: 50.0000
Our system version is 470 Enterprise.
Yoshi.

Note 1148489 being updated for U.S. Economic Stimulus Act configuration

I'm in process of making configuration changes as recommended by SAP in Note 1148489 for the 2008 Economic Stimulus Act, and was planning to implement these changes in a couple weeks.
As of last week, I noticed that the note is in process of being updated, and was wondering if anyone knew the status of these updates (are the updates extensive - should I hold off on working on this?). Also wondering when the expected date of completion of these updates will be.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated, as I will need to communicate to the users if my implementation date will be postponed because of this.
Thanks.

Thanks for your reply. The note was available in English back in March, and that is what I was using. However, when trying to pull up the note now, the version has been updated to Version 4, but I get a message stating "The note is in the selected version/language not up to date".
I try to compare against Version 2 (the original version I was working off of), and nothing is available.
It looks like it is being updated, and I want to make sure that they don't change something that will affect the configuration I have done so far.
When you try to pull up the note now, do you get the same message as I stated above?

Bonus Depreciation for the year 2010

Hello Gurus,
I need to configure for the bonus depreciation based on the newly enacted US law 2010. The requirement is, for the asset purchased between 3rd Jan 2010 through 07th Sept 2010, the bonus depreciation need to be calculated @50% as special depreciation. The balance need to be depreciated as ordinary depreciation for 2010 and the remaining periods. For the assets purchased between the period 08th Sept to 31st dec 2010, the bonus depreciation need to be100%.
Please let me know the step by step configuration that need to be done for:
1. Depreciation key M20S.
2. The base method to be maintained
3. The multilevel method
4. The period control method for depreciating the values for the above mentioned dates
5. The bonus depreciation need to be calculated only for 2010 and should not be calculated for 2011 and onwards.
Also please let me know if there is any SAP note for 2010 Bonus depreciation calculation
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Sri

Bonus Depreciation for subsequent acquisitions in 2010

Hi all,
We have done bonus depreciation for 2010 and 2011 aand its working fine but for one scenario.
Assets acquired in 2009, had bonus depreciation calculated for 2009. But when there is subsequent acquisition in 2010, its not calculating bonus depreciation for the 2010 acquisitions. We are not using any sub asset concept but are adding to the original asset.
Please let me know how to ptoceed ahead.
Thanks a lot in advance,
Sajan

Hello Jay-R
I have the same question the multi level method maintained as below
My requirement is I need 50% reduction on the asset addition therefore for the year 2015 it should be 500 in reduction since there is 1000 addition to the asset. Please provide me your input on how I can achieve this.

Russian Bonus Depreciation

Hello,
For the Russian bonus depreciation we have tried to follow the configuration steps according to note 944927 but the configuration entry for the last step (Customizing for Financial Accounting -> Asset Accounting -> Information System -> Country-Specific Functiond -> Russia ->Investment and Improvements) is missing in our IMG. The highest installed Support Package is SAPKH60006.
Allthough we have tried to configure new depreciation keys for the bonus depreciation, this only works in association with linear depreciation methods. If we use non-linear depreciation methods the system calculates incorrect annual depreciation values.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
You don't need to create a special depreciation key for MACRS depreciation. If you are using the US depreciation chart, the key is already there. You do, however, have to set the calendar to the correct dates. But the standard depreciation key M200 works just fine. If you are not using the US depreciation chart, copy it in a testing environment and pull up depreciation key M200 in tx AFAMA and copy it from there. In this case, you would also have to adjust the calendar. I hope this helps.

E.

Full Bonus Depreciation irrespective of DPIS

Hi All,
We want the Full 50% Bonus Depreciation to be taken for the first year irrespective of DPIS, we want this only for Bonus Depreciation and not for the actual Depreciation for an asset having STL Depreciation Method, so we do not want to change the Prorate Date.
Is there any way to achieve this other than using unplanned or override depreciation. This link Re: How to Calculate Initial Depreciation Allowance for Assets? looked very relevant but the solution is not outlined. Please need your help and advise
Thanks,
Sarvesh

Hi All,
Please need your Invaluable inputs and advise.

Bonus Depreciation

11.5.10.02
Hi all,
I need your input from you experts. My tax laws required for a 20% bonus depreciation in the first year along with the regular monthly depreciation. However, when the asset is place in service the middle of the year the application doesnt calculate the full 20% bonus depreciation in stead it is porate among the remaing months left in the financial year.
Ho do I set the my Tax book to allow for full 20% to be calculated on the assets no matter which period in the finanial year the asset is in service?
Please your ideas are more than welcome.

Well, the only thing I can think of is to look at the bonus depreciation rule assigned to the asset. Maybe the wrong rule has been assigned to the asset? Or the rule has been set up incorrectly? You would really have to supply detailed information about the bonus rule setup in order for us to give you any good responses. Otherwise we are merely speculating, which means you could be off chasing down dead end alleys and not figuring out the issue. There is no proration involved in the bonus depreciation rules window, but you do define a from year and a to year. So maybe from year is 1 and to year is 2? Don't know. Could be possible that you have run across an Oracle programming error. If the bonus rule looks ok, I would suggest reporting this to Oracle support.

Special/Bonus Depreciation

Hi,
There is one asset on which special/bonus depreciation is applicable say @50% each year. Depreciation is calculated at the end of year. Both ordinary dep and special dep. are calculated correctly.
Now there is further acquisition in the next year to the same asset. At the end of 2nd year, when the depreciation is calculated, ordinary dep is calculated correctly but no special dep. is calculated.
The company is using declining bal. method.
What can be the error. Can anyone help me out.
Regards.

Hi
Acq yr. 2010 / no. of yrs 1,
Acq yr 2011/ no. of yrs 1,
Acq yr 2012 / no. of yrs 1,
With the settings that you have done above - you have told the system that for the Acquisitions done in 2010, Spl Dep is to be calculated for only 1 year.... Same for 2011 and 2012....
Thats the reason system is not calculating it in the 2nd year and onwards... If you want it to be calculated, Change the 1 to 2 or desired no of years.. If you enter 999, then it will be calculated each year and every year

Office 2008 for Mac: Any advice on where to get it cheaper for a student?

I am about to go into my Master's Degree at Dallas Theological Seminary and I need to get Office 2008 for Mac. The Apple store recommended me get it at my school but my school's bookstore does not have it and journeyed.com doesn't support DTS. Does anyone know how or where I can get this program for less than $100 with a student discount? I really need to know.

Remember... Google is your friend.

Also, be aware that this is a forum for troubleshooting compatibility issues between Mac OS and Windows, and that Microsoft's own forums for their Mac products are the best place to post Office related questions. Good luck...

Using ms office 2008 for mac home & student edition with snow leopard serv

Hi all,
I have a very particular question.
I have a new small business starting up and we want to make full use of leopard and snow leopard server in our infrastructure. We also want to use os x for all our client machines.
We want to use ms office 2008 for mac as our main offfice software but i believe we don't need all the uses or festures of the business edtion and i need to seek good advice and clarity on this.
We won't ever use any microsoft exchange servers but instead willl use the apple mail servers and all the other apple server services.
My question is, based on the fact that we will have an all apple mac os x backend and client frontend but want to use the ms office for mac as our business software, and also based on the fact that we wont use the "Build your Brand clip art, Build your skills by lynda.com, the Remote Desktop for mac 2, the Microsoft Exchange Server Support and the Microsoft Windows sharepoint services support, do we really need to go for the business edition? Can we not just use the home and student edition and get the same functionality using everything else apart form what we listed as we wont need these?
The other question is, the Entourage 2008, Web services Edition, will this work with an apple backend instead of ms exchange server?
Kind regards and thanks for your wise advice,
Neil Watson

Thanks, Kurt--I understand now.
One reason I was alarmed was that evidently when the tech installed Office 2008, something went awry with either the key installer or the key code, because when I finished the first two updates (12.1 and 12.2), I tried to open Entourage to see if the problem I'd been having was resolved. Instead of opening, Office gave me a message that my product key was invalid! I did find the product key, and called the tech, who will come by to see what's wrong (he's an honest guy, so I'm sure it's a legitimate error of some kind, not a pirated copy). But the thought of installing two pages of updates and maybe running into the same glitch every time made me blanch. So I'm glad to know that Microsoft is still doing Service Packs for 2008!

I am currently running OS 10.6.8 on my iMac and plan to upgrade to OS Mountain Lion. Will MS Office 2008 for Mac still run on the new OS?

Problem when saving a PowerPoint 2008 for Mac file to PDF.

When I save my PowerPoint 2008 for Mac file as a PDF, the text/font comes out wrong in the PDF -- kind of looks degraded (thinner, darker, more pixilated). I've tried changing the font in the PowerPoint file many times and tried saving it as a PDF both directly and through print -- but each time the text/font doesn't come through correctly in the PDF. The images/photos in the PowerPoint file all convert to the PDF just fine. Can anyone help?
