Calculation of Asset Depreciation based on SLM or WDV

Hi,
In our group of companies, we are depreciating assets based on requirement with either SLM or WDV method.
Generally as per my understanding, system is calculating depreciation based on class (where either Straight line or Declining balance depreciation is maintained.) which has been maintained in depreciation key definition (Assignment of calculation methods).
I have observed that in some of depreciation key though it is blank in Class, system is calculating correct depreciation for either WDV or SLM method. Is there any other setting for selection of relevant depreciation method from which system is calculating correct depreciation?
Thanks,
Taral Patel

Hi,
I have seen base method of same depreciation key, in which below mentioned field values have been defined :
Type of depreciation : Ord. Depreciation
Dep. Method : Stated Percentage
Dep. after planned life end : No
Dep. below NB Value zero : No
Curb : No
From abovewhich field, system is bringing WDV as depreciation method into calculation?
Thanks,

Depr Key : LINK
Base method : 007
Declining Method : 001
Multilevel Method : 003
(This calculation method derived from SAP Standard)
Useful Life : 5 years
Exp Useful life : 15 years 1 month
ord depr start date 01.12.1991
until jan 2007 , NBV =0
on Feb 10, 2007 => good issue= 42.750.000
ord depr arise 10.830.000
on Feb 24, 2005 => credit memo in acq year = 42.750.000
ord depr arise only 8.550.000
Differences between ord dep on Feb 10 and ord depr on Feb 24 causes error like this :
"Transaction in area 01 contradicts the net book value rule "

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 calculations

Hi Gurus,
Can any one tell me the How can I configuration for the calculation of asset Tax depreciation. Dep.method is declining method. Eg. The asset useful life is 4 yrs. Client would like to calculate depreciation for first yrs one ration of dep. then from 4th year he would like to change dep ration the NBV should be 1JPY. Financial year Feb to Jan

Sorry my apologies a small correction.
You can determine the asset value date based on rules:
these rules are defined in configuration.
asset accounting >transactions> specify how default asset value date is determined.
great config..SAP is great..

Asset Depreciation Calculation when Fiscal Year are Different

Hi,
The client reporting company is in US and the company code is maintained with K4 fiscal year varient. (for common controlling area).
Though the India entity follow K4, their depreciation calculation are based on V3 (April to March). The real depreciation for their postings is based on their April to March calculations.

Asset Depreciation calculation BADI implementation

Hi Experts,
We have a specific requirement for calculation of rapid depreciation in assets. When a change process(termination) is run in CRM side it creates an asset on ECC which has to be depreciated rapidly.
We have to cumulate the values of billplan and post it as depreciation amount for depr. area 01 to which special depr. key is assigned.
I have activated implementation of BADI FAA_EE_CUSTOMER ( method SET_PERCENT_AMOUNT).
The problem is when i put a breakpoint in this method and run test depreciation ( txn. AFAB ) it doesn't even come to the break-point.
Is there something I am missing in this enhancment. Please suggest.

You need to change depreciation key to use approriate Base Value method (with X,Y,Z, indicator).

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

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

Calculation of Tax Depreciation - India

Hi,
We are following the New GL Accounting setup to our US based client in India.
My Leading Ledger (US) is Jan u2013 Dec and Non-leading Ledger (India) is April u2013 March.
We also created different Fiscal Year variants (Year Dependent) as S1 and IN for both the Co codes.
I have defined and activated Non-leading ledger for India Company code.
All the transactions were posting correctly as per Leading and Non-leading ledgers except Tax Depreciation in Fixed Assets.
I was able to post correct depreciation for India Company Act Depreciation area with a stated percentage. But the Tax depreciation area calculation is incorrect.
Required Depreciation Calculation for Tax Depreciation Area as below:
For Acquires & Additions:
Rule1: If it is >=180 days (as per Non-leading ledger Fiscal year) the system should calculate depreciation as stated percentage. Eg: 10%
Rule2:
If it is <180 days (as per Non-leading ledger Fiscal year) the system should calculate depreciation of 50% on stated percentage. Eg: Stated percentage is 10%, then it should be 5%.
I already copied India standard setting IT & NL to my fiscal year variant in Calender assignments of Period controls. But when I tried to post the Tax Depreciation in the month of March as per Non-leading ledger, the system is calculating full Depreciation as per Rule1 instead of 50% of stated Percentage in Rule2.
Can any one of you kindly advice how to setup the Multi levels methods and Period controls for Tax Depreciation key in Indian Tax Depreciation area as per above requirement. I have been working on this since one week. Please help me.
Thanks for the help.
Regards,
JBC

I am not sure if this work.. but give it a try.
In your multi-level method line 1 put Acq yr = 9999, Year = 999, Per = 6, Percent = 50
line 2 put Acq yr = 9999, Year = 999, Per = 12, Percent = 10
Now what i dont understand from your question is that is this rule for the first acquisition year only?
If so, also try with Acq yr = 9999, Year = 1 (so only the first acq yr will get calculated based on the percentage).
Try this in your sandbox and let me know if it works or not!!

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.

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?

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

SAP Standard report to view the asset balance- Based on the calender year

Hi ALL
Any sap standard programs are available to view the asset balance based on the calendar year not for the fiscal year.
Asset balance report S_ALR_87011964 will display based on the fiscal year in report date. For example I want to view the September month asset balance, Any standard report to view the calendar year wise output.
Regards
K.Gunasekar

Dear Gunasekar,
in Asset balance report S_ALR_87011964 you can view also a calendar year, you can enter every Reporting date in the progrm.
In RABEWG_ALV01 you can enter also a Capitalization date "from to". I think this is what you want.

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
