Calculation of depreciation

Hi,
I would like to know how to calculate the depreciation when we are implementing the sap in middle of the finacial year
With regards,
V.K

Hi
If you are uploading the Asset data by taking the asset values as on last day of Previous year, say 31.12.2007, then specify the Transfer date / Take over date as 31.12.2007 under the "Specify Transfer Date/Last Closed Fiscal Year" in customizing under Financial Accounting - Asset Accounting - Asset data transfer - Date specifications.
In case if you are uploading data with the values of mid of year, then in addition to above step, maintain take over data under "Specify Last Period Posted in Prv.System (Transf.During FY)" (transaction OAYC)under the above node.
Hope this solves your problem.
Assign points if it is useful.

Calculation of depreciation and interest for a particular asset class

Hi,
I have a problem with the calculation of depreciation and interest for a particular asset class. The assets are financial leases. The depreciation key defined is LEAS. The following are the attributes of this key:
Dep/int             phase     base met dec-bal prd cont mult lvl chn ov
Ord.depreciation     1     0011     001     006     001        5
Ord.depreciation     2     0002     001     003     003
Interest             1     0028     001     003     010
An example of an asset is:
Aquisition value: 1041552.71 (as migrated on 01.04.2007)
Ordinary dep already posted: 56243.88
Net book value: 985308.83
Scrap Value:729086.90
Useful life: 50 years
Expired useful life: 9 years 1 month
Remaining useful life: 40 years 11 months.
Depreciation start date: 28.03.1998
Interest calculation start date:30.03.1997
Depreciation calculated by the system:6261.83
Interest calculated in the year:15682.68
I'm not able to undersatnd on what basis the system calculated the interest. I will be thankful if anyone can help me resolve this. An early reply will be greatly appreciated as I'm facing major problems due to this issue.

Hi Mahesh,
As per my analysis of the case the interest rates are as under
Acq. Year                                                    Int.Percent
9999     4          01     10.%
9999     7          01     5.%
9999     25          01     2.5%
9999     999     12     01     2.5%
As per this the Acquisition value less the Scrap Value Rs.312,465.00 @ 2.5% p.a will be Rs. 7811.64.
Based on the above you analyse for which period interest is calculated.
Hope it will help.

Vijay

Calculation of Depreciation for Tax for India

Hi
In India, there is a requirement that the Depreciation for Income Tax should be calculated based on the date of Acquisition. If an asset has been acquired before or on completion of 180 days of a Financial Year, than the calculation of Depreciation is allowed for full year. If the asset has been acquired after 180 days , depreciation is allowed only for 180 days. Hence for an asset acquired on 25/09/2009, system should allow calculation of depreciation from 01/04/2009, assuming that the fiscal year starts from 01/04/2009 and ends on 31/03/2009. However, if the asset is acquired on 07/10/2009, the system should allow depreciation from 01/10/2009. Sap has delivered standard depreciation keys for the same in reference chart of depreciation for India 0IN.
But if the asset has been acquired on 01/10/2009, still the asset has to be depreciated from 01/04/2009, since the asset has been acquired for less than 180 days into the fiscal year. The system is working fine for asset capitalized on 25/09/2009 and 07/10/2009. But we are not able to map the same if asset is capitalized on 01/10/2009 and 02/10/2009. For these two dates, the depreciation should start from 01/04/2009.
I have checked the period control setting and calender assignments and everything seems to be in place. How can we tackle the issue?
Regards
Sanil K Bhandari

Hi
The same has been resolved.I Created a new assignment in Period Control IT for my fiscal year variant. For month 10, i added a new line item with no of days as 2 in addition to no of days as 31 for month 10.

Calculation of Depreciation on Sub Number.

Hi,
Pl. provide your valuable remarks for the below 2 points.
1. What is sub number? In which cases we should use this.
2. In cases of heavy repairs & maintenance of assets, when amount will be capitalized, whether it will be treated as a separate asset or sub number.
As I have tried, the Sub-Asset calculate depreciation from the date of capitalisation of Main Asset rather than calculating the depreciation from the date when it is actualy capitalised because thereis no option to change the any field in Depreciation Area when creating Asset Sub-No. vide T-Code AS11.
Thanks
Deb

Hi,
Go to below path
SPRO->IMG->FA->AA->MASTER DATA->SCREEN LAYOUT->Define Screen Layout for Asset Master Data
Choose Define Screen Layout for Asset Master Data
Select your screen layout rule, which is assigned to your asset's asset class.
Double click on ligical field groups, and then select 2 Posting information and double click on field group rules
There for field group 10. capitalisation date deselect check box for mn no and select check boxes for SbNo and Copy.
SAVE
And now go to transaction AO21 and select screen layout 1000 and double click on field group rules and there for FG 03 (ord dep start date) deselect check box for mn no and select check boxes for SbNo and Copy.
This will resolve your issue.
Thanks,

Calculation of Depreciation based on Remianing Useful Life

Hi
I have a scenario in which depreciation percentage should be derived based on remaining useful life and it should remain same through out the remaining useful life.
For eg,
Take over date = 30.11.2010
Acquisition Date= 01.04.2009
Acquisition Amount = INR 200000
Depreciation Till 30.11.2010 = 70000 INR
Net Book Value as of 30.11.2010 = INR 130000
Total Useful Life = 4 Years or 48 months
Expired Useful Life = 1 year 9 months or 21 months
Remaining useful life = 27 months
Required Depreciation Per Month = 130000/27=4815
Derived Percentage = 4815/130000*100=3.71%
I have created a Base Method for calculation for Depreciation with Depreciation Method as "% from Remaining Life calculated from Depreciation Conversion Date". In Multilevel methods, I have assigned the Base Method as 24, Net Book Value
and maintained the check box for Remaining useful life.
However, the system is not calculating the rate as expected.
Regards
Sanil Bhandari

Hi Sanil
Have you done any settings in OAYF - recalculate dep for previous years (IMG> AA > Asset Data Transfer > Parameters for Data Transfer > Options)
For current year, it always does produce some difference due to rounding off, which should not be a big amount

Calculation of Depreciation on pro rata basis

Hi,
i had posted aquistion of asset on 1.1.2008. and a subsquent asset aquisition on 1.4.2008 the system is calculation depreciation for the new aquisition from 1.4.2008 but the depreciation calculated is for the full year i.e. the date of original capitalization of the asset.
Can any one suggest a solution so that the system calculates the depreciation from 1.4.2008 and not from 1.1.2008.
Thanks & Regards,
Praveen.

Hi Ramesh,
i did try the period control, this only controls the start date for calculation of depreciation. The system calculates depreciation from the date of original capitalization date and not the susequent acquisitions date, and it posts from the start date mentioned in period control.

Praveen.

Calculation of Depreciation on Net Book Value after posting Revaluation on

How to calculate the depreciation on Net book value after posting Balance sheet revaluation ABAW? The depreciation is been calculated on APC and not on NBV, as the APC of asset has been revalued after the revalution posting, ideally the next period depreciation should be calculating on the new NBV, but the system is not doing this. Is there any specific configuration that Iam missing here.
Kindly Reply.

Calculation of depreciation value

I have to calculate depreciation on an asset on a prorata basis and then on rate of 20% over the next five years. I have config a depreciation key for the same for which the config is:
1. Multi Lev Method - is from the capitalization date and teh rate maintained inlevels is 20%
2. Base Method - Specified Ordinary Depreciation and stated percentage
The system is correctly calculating the pro rata dep in acq year and the following years on pro rata basis except for the last year in which it is not calculating the value as required. The system is showing the value on a pro rata basis whereas in the last year also it should reduce the entire value. The asset acquisition value is Rs 500000 and the date of acquisition is 21.11.2006.

In multi level method, in base value field give 24 (net book balue) and not 1.
Full points if you are ok.

Re-calculation of depreciation for closed FY

I have changed the depreciation key to calculate depreciation to the day. The program AFAR allows one to re-calculate depreciation only for the currently open FY and not prior yrs. I am happy for the re-calculated values to be posted to the currently open FY but the calculation needs to take into account the capitalisation date of the closed FY. I have reviewed the posts regarding this and cannot find the required solution.
Thanks a lot
Harold

Hi
1. Post an unplanned depreciation in the current year..
2. After the unplanned dep is posted in current year, if you want to shift the impact to previous year,
a. Pass a JV in F-02 using a P&L account and Balance sheet account
b. Dr the balance sheet account and Cr the P&L account in Current year
c. Dr the P&L account and Cr the balance sheet account in the Previous year

Calculating the depreciation pro days instead of periods

Hi All,
I've to calculate the depreciation pro days instead of periods.
Is it possble? How to do it?
Thanks
G.Rossi

Hi Rossi,
you have to make a transfer the values to a asset with a daily calculating depreciation key. You can not change the depreciation key from normal depreciation to daily depreciation on a asset which has already values.
If you are interested in technical details: If you create a asset ANLB-PERFY is set according to the depreciation key (T090NA-XDAILY). ANLB-PERFY can not be changed in the standard. If you change the depreciation key from normal depreciation to a daily calculating depreciation key (T090NA-XDAILY = initial to T090NA-XDAILY = X) you will get the AA 662.

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.

Calculated Re depreciation for an asset

Hi,
Please help me in solving the below issue,
The unplanned depreciation was been charged in the month of December for the fiscal year 2010 and it has been reversed. I want to charge the depreciation once again for the same asset but it should not get effected in the FI.

Hi Binoy
From accounting point of view, if depreciation changed in sub ledge, fixed asset accounting, the changes shall be reflected in GL. What I am talking about is that we can control the changes effecting in previous year or current year due to whatever reason, e.g. previous year has been closed and audited etc.
If you are in above situation, then you can choose re-open previous year 2010 and repost the unplanned depreciation or judge the depreciation in 2011 even it happened in 2010 by using T-cd:ABZU.
Hope itu2019s helpful.
