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.

Depreciation for subsequent acquisitions not posted in following month.

Hello Experts,
I had a problem with subsequest acquisition - after posting depreciation was not distributed equally during follwing months. As Paul and Markus advised per note 92260, the period control method should has been set on "06"(start of year). [here is link on that thread|depreciation calculation after acquistion; This was done and the depreciation amounts are now planned correctly, the only problem is the change in depreciation after acquistion reflected in month of change not in the following month as required.
I mean: i.e. additional acquistion is done in 05/2009, but the depreciation should change from 06/2009 and so on...
Can you help how to set up this in period control method?(OAVH, OAHS)
Thank you !

Credit memo for subsequent acquisitions in Fixed Assets

According to the Fixed Asset help file - section Credit memo for Subsequent Acquisitions it Says " Fixed Assets *DOES NOT* allow posting a credit memo for a subsequent acquistion. What are the exactt circumstances in which Fixed Assets will block these credit memos. I have added subsequent Acquisitions and Fixed Assets appears to allow credit memo's where depreaction has not been run and also where depreciation has not been run. How does this blocking mechanism work?

Hi John
It appears that there is no good answer to your question. From my undertstanding, the SAP Fixed Assets add-on is a very basic solution, and does not anticipate many of the changes that can occur once an Asset is acquired. Frankly, it is pretty basic when handling the initial acquisition.
Not that this will help you with this particular install, but the Fixed Assets add-on from B1 Fixed Assets LLC does a very thorough job of creating Assets, where you can use any or all of Invoices, Credit Memos, and Journal Entries, mixing and matching to create the Asset. Once the Asset has be added, making Cost Adjustments is almost as thorough, and provides considerably more options to recognize the Cost Adjustment. You can see a viedo of a relatively simple Asset Acquisition on YouTube (www.youtube.com/b1fixedassets).
Let me know how you get this issue resolved - I am very interested.

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

Depreciation for additional acquisition

Hello,
I had the below requirement, Could you please help if anybody had any idea on this issue..
If i purchased additional acquisition in 3 rd month (Use ful life of asset is 12 months) say for ex: Asset Value is 2700/-
From 3rd month onwards it should post 2700/9M=300 per month so that end of the month the asset value will be "zero"
But as per my customizing it is calculating like this:
If the asset value is 2700 which i purchased in 3rd month it is posting dep as 1 Month -200
                       2 Month-200
                       3 Month-200+900=1100
                       4 Month- 200+300=500(200 is normal value)
                       5 Month -200+300=500
Here it is calculation 2700/12 month and equally distributing, i don't want to calculate for first 3 months,
Hope there must be some control for additional acquisition, i have checked period control also, but still getting the same problem.
Can anybody help on this, as it is very urgent for me..
Many tx,
Veena

Hi,
ok, I understand what you mean. With reference to my example, a subsequent acquisition:
01.07.2008     300,00     100     External asset acquisition     EUR
produced the following situation:
4     300,00-     0,00     0,00     0,00     EUR
5     300,00-     0,00     0,00     0,00     EUR
6     300,00-     0,00     0,00     0,00     EUR
7     433,33-     0,00     0,00     0,00     EUR
8     333,34-     0,00     0,00     0,00     EUR
9     333,33-     0,00     0,00     0,00     EUR
10     333,33-     0,00     0,00     0,00     EUR
11     333,34-     0,00     0,00     0,00     EUR
12     333,33-     0,00     0,00     0,00     EUR
     3.000,00-     0,00     0,00     0,00     EUR
As you explained, in my case, the system will catch up the depreciation for the periods 4 to 6 in period 7.
This is the standard system behaviour, because once the depreciation start date is set, the subsequent acquisitions will take this depreciation start date as reference, and not the date of the subsequent acquistion, as you are assuming.
Please read SAP note 46456, which explains this issue more in detail.
The 'Calculate according to asset value date' indicator in the calculation key for the depreciation cannot be maintained as of maintenance level 3.0E. As SAP note 53166 describes this indicator frequently caused misunderstandings. And that is why this function has been "removed".
But, you can still configure this behaviour with a modification, in table T090NP, field XBZDAT at your own risk. Please beware that with such a modification, there is no support in case of future incidences. In note 814004 you will find a short report which enables you to change the parameter.
I hope this will help you.

Bonus depreciation valid till 2010

Catch-up depreciation for the Subsequent Acquisitions in later years

Dear expert,
We have the following scenario:
First an asset master record is created and it receives an acquistion value at the date 2013-08-09.
The next year, we find there's something wrong with the acquistion value, so we make the subsequent acquisition at the date 2014-04-05. Refer to my country's Accounting Standard the sebsequent acquisition need a catch-up depreciation to be calculated based on the ordinary depreciation start date on the asset master data.
As the asset value date of the sebsequent acquistion must be the same year with the posting date and the configuration of the Period Control Methods can not meet the requirement.
Is there any configuration or enhancement can meet the requirement.

Hi Zhuo
If you want to increase the asset value i.e. the Value posted earlier was less
Go to ABNAN, Choose Value Date = 2013-08-09 and Doc Date / Posting Date = Date of Current year
CHoose T Type = 401, and you can also enter a Off-Setting GL of your choice
This will catch up the Depreciation from last year 08/2013 to 12/2013 .
After ABNAN, when you do AFAB, the depreciation for Jan-2014 to May 2014 will be catched up
If you want to reduce the asset value,
Do ABGF

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).

Acq.Year:2008
Years:0

BaseVal.:01
Percent: 0.0000
Rem.Life: blank
Reduc.: 50.0000

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

Calculation of Depreciation for Group Asset

Hi Experts,
I am getting a problem while doing depreciation for group asset
Ex: 80,000; Rate 10%
total depreiaiton p.a is Rs 8000/-
as per the Indian standards if it is below 180 days it should take Rs 4000/-, but in my system it is showing Rs 3333.33
my depreciation start date & capitlization date is 01.11.2007.
Regards,
Satya Vani.

Dear,
Reshma.
Looking at your Questions let us take explanation for Group Assets :-
1 ) We need to create new different asset class for Group Class in OAOA. Then permit the depreciation area for only Group Asset in OAYM as it is in your current scenario India is Depreciation Area 15 Just select your company code in OAYM and check the Grp Asset field for respective area 15. Then go to OAAX here we have to maintain the assets classes particularly for Group Assets. So check your Group Asset classes for Group Assets. Cerate different Group asset classes for your said requirement.
In these depreciation areas, it is then possible to make an assignment to a group asset. You make this assignment in the specifications for the depreciation area in the asset master record. When you post an acquisition to this kind of asset, the system duplicates the line items from this depreciation area on the given group asset.
2 ) According to me you have to create different depreciation keys for Group Asset classes. Assign the Depreciation keys to your newly created Group Asset Classes in OAYZ and make sure you are deactivating 01 area which is Book Depreciation area.
3 ) As far as I know this is the only functionality available to handle Group Assets. How ever SAP does not have any standard Group Assets functionality. SAP does not supply asset classes to be used solely for group assets. It is we have to determine as per varying Business Process.
I hope this will clear your doubt makes you to understand. Please revert back for further clarification. Welcome you.

Pankaj A Bhalerao.

Subsequent acquisition in the first year of life of an asset and ...

Hi all,
so I have a problem with asset depreciation values regarding subsequent acquisition. The current setup is the following:
APC = 100.000
Acquisiton date = 01.05.2009.
Date of first depreciation = 01.06.2009.
Monthly value of depreciation = 333,33
Total year depreciation = 4000
Useful life 25 years
Now I want to post an additional acquisition of another 100.000 and it is posted on 1.07.2009. meaning the first depreciation period will be 01.08.2009.
The problem is that on the 01.08.2009. the depreciation amount is 1.333,33 and on 01.09.2009. it is 666,66 and it should be in both months 666,66, leaving the rest to be depreciated at the end, prolonging the useful life if necessary. So if anyone has an idea how to solve this I would be very thankful!
Best regards,
D.

Document splitting: Items for clearing 0010/100062508/2010/001 not found

HI Gurus,
I hava issue with FC valuation. I have done configurtin for FC Valuation of GL A/c i.e, Long Term loan paybles which is created as Open Item management.
It is working fine post the entries at the end of May and reversed the same on 01.06.2010 in development system. i have moved saem request to Acceptance client and testing the same scenario. But i am getting the following error.
"Document splitting: Items for clearing 0010/100062508/2010/001 not found
Message no. GLT0002
Diagnosis
Document splitting cannot perform clearing because it was not possible to find complete splitting information on the items to be cleared (company code 0010, document number 100062508, fiscal year 2010, item 001).
System Response
Clearing cannot be performed and the document cannot be posted.
Procedure
Exclude the affected item from clearing.
It may be that this item was not posted with active document splitting. In this case, this item or document would have to be migrated."
I have checked the docuemnt splitting config . In two systems it was same and doc.splitting was configurated very long back.
Could any one help on the above error
Thanks in advance
PAVAN

Hi Pavan,
Please note the following, the error GLT0002 is normally caused by a change done in your customizing for splitting. Since you mentioned that this is happening for one company code, it seems to be that one change was made only for this company code in your SPRO settings.
For example if you have activated open item managment subsequently on account or another example would be that you posted document prior to activation of document splitting.
Please see section 5 of note 891144:
Items posted while open item management was still inactive in G/L account master data cannot be cleared after open item management has been activated subequently if New G/L document splitting is active.
Therefore, if document splitting is active, open item management should never be activated subsequently on accounts to which documents had already been posted with inactive open item management.
Review note 891144 in full. I believe that this will help you resolve the issue.
Best Regards,
Vanessa.

Reverse Asset Depreciation for Closed FY

Hi Asset Gurus...
Need your expert advice...on the following Asset issue....
PROBLEM : We have done the Year end closing for FY 2009 for our assets in Jan 2010. But we have already reported out Balance sheet in Dec 2009 for FY 2009. Now, when we have closed the FY 2009 in Jan 2010, system postes some financial entries related to Depreciation difference between area 01 and area 02 on the balance sheet.
Now the business thinks its not acceptable..as what we see in SAP for the BS 2009 contradicts what we have already reported to the authorities..
So, we need to change this situation in SAP...i.e. correct these postings ( or infact cancel these postings that have happened due to this depreciation difference between area 01 and area 02 in the Fy 2009 ) so that the BS 2009 shown in SAP would match what we have reported.
Now the real problem is that : THE ASSET FISCAL YEAR IS ALREADY CLOSED AND ALSO WE CANNOT MANUALLY POST ANY FI ENTRIES FOR THESE DEPRECIATION DIFFERENCE GL ACCOUNTS AS THEY CAN BE POSTED ONLY INTERNALLY.
SOLUTION THOUGH OF : Now, We see that probable solution would be re run the Depreciation for FY 2009 again by opening period 12 2009 so that the depreciation differences calculated wrongly would be gone.( But is this kind of suggested or acceptable ).
In the Other case, should we do an ASSET WRITE UP OR TRANSFER POSTINGS to negate the postings that have already happened.
One more thing..I want to clarify is that : THE REASON THE DEPRECIATION DIFFERENCES OCCURRED BETWEEN AREA 01 and AREA 02 is because both of them had a different depreciation key in FY 2009( somehow they had diff. dep keys which was wrong as told to us by the business and they discoverd this situation in 2010 ). So, we corrected the Dep keys for the two areas in FY 2010 ....But for the FY 2009 , when we closed the FY 2009, the depreciation differences already got posted in the Balance Sheet.
REAL PROBLEM IS THAT WE WERE ABLE TO CORRECT THE DEPRECIAITION KEYS IN THE ASSETS, but WE WANT TO CORRECT THE WRONG POSTINGS THAT HAVE TAKEN PLACE IN FY 2009 ( i mean the Financial postings that took place.. the GL accounts that got posted are Acc. depreciation difference account and dep. difference account ).
We also cannot manually reverse this FI entry , as these postings happeend automatically..
So i see..probable solution is reopen the FY 2009 and carry out a repeat dep run ??
Or do a ASSET WRITE UP OR TRANSFER POSTNGS FOR THESE GL ACCCOUNTS?
I am not an expert myself but seek the guidance of the experts here to resolve our issue..
In case, you need any more clarification on this problem..I will let you know the same...
Waiting for your feedback on the same..
Thanks,
Kris.....

There is no issue with FY 2010 as we have changed the Dep. Key in 2010.
The issue is with only FY 2009 which is now closed.
But the transaction ABF1 as you have mentioned cannot be used in this case, as when we try to post to these GL accounts, it gives us the message that they can only be posted automatically by the system ( which i think is true as these postings occur only after the dep. run ).
Is there any other tcode through which we can correct the wrong dep. values that were posted in FY 2009.
Thanks,
Kris...
