How to get Depreciation key independant from Depreciation area

Hello,
We are using two depreciation areas 01 book depreciation and 15 Tax, in our asset class we have put for both the same depreciation key (GD50) but with a different uselife for every depreciation area
Now when we create a new asset (AS01) intially the correct uselife appears ( tab depreciation area) but apparently when i want to change the one for depreciation area 01 its also changed in depreciation area 15 - how can we avoid that 15 is 'linked' to 01?
Many thanks

Dear janbritt

New Depreciation Area tobe added to the existing Assets

Hi,
I had Run OAYZ to activate a depreciation area for a Asset Class
I run AFBN to add this new depreciation area to the existing assets.
When I go to Assets Explorer (AW01N) I get following area
Values for Ordinary deprec. have changed in dep. area 13 in fiscal year 2007
    Message no. AU390
Diagnosis
    Depreciation terms were changed in depreciation area 13 since the last
    time depreciation was recalculated. The values for Ordinary deprec. that
    were saved in the database in fiscal year 2007 are therefore different
    from the newly calculated values by an amount of
    476.41-.
Procedure
    Check if the newly calculated values are correct. If they are, then
    carry out a depreciation recalculation. You should be aware that if you
    recalculate depreciation, new values could arise for all open fiscal
    years, and these would then have to be posted to the general ledger by
means of a depreciation posting run.
If, on the other hand, you want to keep the values that are saved in the
database, you have to set the depreciation terms back to how they were
at the time of the last depreciation recalculation.
To see a comparison of the old and new values, you can use the Display
dep. calc. function in the asset value display or the Recalculate values
function in the Asset Accounting menu.
Proceed
Now if I try to click on proceed and recalculate the depreciation (AFAR) the system gives error
40001        0    WRK SURF FOR RDQ WRKPROJCT RMS-RSCH DATA OP.   2007 Error
in dep. calculation
    Message no. BL001
Pl. guide me for the same.

Hi Sanjay,
Execute T Code AFBN and add the new depreciation areas to the existing assets. This will add the new dep area to all the assets under the particular char of depreciation.

Revaluation of depreciation for prior year in alternative depreciation area

Hi,
I have a problem with a couple of assets. We are using 2 depreciation areas - one for statutory depreciation that is posted against GL accounts and one for fiscal purposes, which is only statistical.
For some assets the depreciation key in the alternative, fiscal depreciation area was wrong in last two fiscal years. Is it possible to reopen that old fiscal years and change the depreciation area to correct one and revaluate the depreciation only in that parallel depreciation area? If yes - which steps should i carry out in SAP? This depreciation area does not affect GL accounts posting - so I hope it is possible.
Thank you,
Karol

Hi Murali,
Thank you for your reply.
My only concern is - I don't want to affect the other depreciation areas (in case anything changed in their depreciation keys).
Is there a way to just open past years only for this particular depreciation area and to rerun depreciation just for it?
I thought of OAAR transaction - undo year end closing by Depreciation area - just to focus on it. Do you think it might work the same as AJRW, or should I use AJRW?
Can I run AFAR only for the selected depreciation area and it will not affect any other depreciaton area? We are using 4.6C version.
Thank you,
Karol

Values for Ordinary deprec. have changed in dep. area 01 in fiscal year 200

Hi Guru,
I m in the process of upgradation from 4.6C to ECC 6.0.
In Asset Accounting in 4.6C there is a facility of batch input thereby the user can replace the block cost centre by new one. As this facility is not available in ECC 6.0 so I have figured out all asset master in which the block centre are entered. And one by one replace the old cost centre by new one in asset master. When I ran the dep. "AFAB" there were no error. But for few assets the dep. shows positive value and cumulative dep. as zero. When I display the master of these assets and go into asset value of that asset then it give the message

Guru, New value is absolutely wrong as it reversed all the dep. charged upto previous period.
please tell me what I can do & how i colud check whether any body has changed the dep. term or not.
Thanks

Hi,
start transaction AFAR for the company code as real run. That will recalculate all asset values and should solve the problem.
Alternative would be to go to AS02 and choose "edit -> recalculate values" from the system menu.

Change Currency in Existing Depreciation Area

Hi Bernhard Kirchner, Brigitte Kuehni and All
I have a requirement to change the Currency for an existing Depreciation Area ( Area Does not post) from TWD to USD.
This depreciation area already has postings in Production.
Could you please suggest, if it is possible and what are the steps to be followed and the data conversion requirements if any.
We have already evaluated the option of creating a new Depreciation area in USD, but that is ruled out following the group norms.
Thanks & Regards,
Kavita

Hi Kavita,
If there are already assets with values in a depreciation area it is no
longer possible to change the currency in transaction OAYH.
The system will not allow you do this, you will get an error.
Once you have postings made, the amounts posted will not automatically
be changed into the new currency.
If the depreciation area 01 is the reference area:
- a reference area cannot be simply switched to another currency. It
has to be identical with the currency of the local currency.
- in order to achieve consistency the amounts in this local currency
have to be converted into the new local currency, which cannot be done
by transaction OAYH simply, otherwise the system could become
inconsistent.
If you change the currency of the depreciation 01 the amounts posted
are not automatically changed into the new currency but taken over one
to one.
To change the currency, you should use the conversion tools.
If you are in a development system doing some initial customizing
(never in an already running production system) you can update the
content in table T093B with a self made ABAP program.
Another possibility is to make a new chart of depreciation and configure
its depreciation areas as you like.
Best regards
Bernhard

Creation of depreciation area for posting of parallel currencies postings

while i am posting f-90 asset e. auqsiation its giving error massage
"Customizing inconsistency (contact your system administrator)
Message no. AC496
Diagnosis
Company code BP01 manages parallel currencies in Asset Accounting. For each area that posts automatically online to FI, you have to define one dependent depreciation area that adopts both identical values and depreciation terms from depreciation area 01, and which is assigned to currency type 60 and currency INR. There is no depreciation area of this type defined for depreciation area 01.
Procedure
Check your Customizing settings."

Hi Venkat,
Create a New Depreciation area with APC Values and Depn values identical to Value 01.
Then goto valuation> currencies
Specify the Use of Parallel Currencies> and assign the currency type and valuation view to the new depn area. tick the identical values
then goto
Define Depreciation Areas for Foreign Currencies> give the parallel currency against the depn area
Now try doing the transaction.
Please revert back if you still have any issues.

Problem with depreciation area (Incorrect currency exchange rate is used)

Good day to all SDN forumers!
I'm having a problem with one depreciation area that we set up. The reason why we configured this depreciation area is for us to enable to monitor all asset postings in another (group) currency aside from the local currency. We set it up in such a way that the depreciation would not post and would thus only "convert" the asset postings to group currency using the table rates in table TCURR (via OB08).
The problem is despite having defined an exchange rate for the current period, the system still picks up the exchange rate for 01/01/2001 which is incorrect. This affected all reports which displays incorrect values whenever I view the postings using the 2nd depreciation area we set up. Is there a way we can correct this?
I'd really appreciate your comments and suggestions guys. Thanks a lot and more power!

Update:
I created a new depreciation area by copying an existing area and updated some of the configuration. The problem is still there though, since the depreciation area still reflects the <b>incorrect</b> rate (similar to that of the previous depreciation area) whenever I access it using Asset Explorer. What's surprising is that even though I've already set the exchange rate (e.g. USD to EUR) to match that of the asset's capitalization / acquisition date, the posted values still do not reflect what I defined in table TCURR. Instead, it reflects the exchange rate used by the old depreciation area. Help anyone? We are already in a production client and transfer/retirement of all the assets is not an option the client would like to undertake.

Parallel Currency Depreciation Areas.

Hi,
I have activated parallel currencies (Hard Currency - EUR & Indexed Based - USD) concept to my company code. I am trying to settle WBS, that time I am getting error message "Company code XXXX manages parallel currencies in Asset Accounting. For each area that posts automatically online to FI, you have to define one dependent depreciation area that adopts both identical values and depreciation terms from depreciation area 01, and which is assigned to currency type 40 and currency EUR. There is no depreciation area of this type defined for depreciation area 01"
For the above error how to create dependent depreciation area and attaching to currency type EUR".
Help is needed very urgent.
Thanks in advance for the same.
Regards.

Hi,
Normally when you activated parallel currencies, then you should have minimum 2 depreciation area. First is Book Depreciation , and the second is "Group Currency" Depreciation.
You can define depreciation Area for "Group Currency" in :
SPRO -> Asset Accounting -> Valuation -> Define Depreciation Area
Then you should Specify Area Type in t-code : OADC. Set "Typ"= 6 (group Valuation) for the "Group Currency" depreciation area.
Then Specify Transfer of APC Values in t-code : OABC , fill "ValAd"= 01 and tick column "Identical" for "Group Currency" Area.
Do the same thing in t-code : OABD.
Then You should define currency for those depreciation area in t-code : OAYH.
Last, you should Specify the use of parallel currencies in :
SPRO=> Asset Accounting -> Valuation -> Currency ->Specify the use of parallel currencies .
For "Group Currency" Depreciation area , Fill following :
"Currency Type" = 30 Group Currency
Tick "IdAPC"
"Ttr" = 1 book depreciation
Tick "Indnt Trn"
Hope It can help.

Parallel Currencies and Depreciation areas

Hi all
I have a simple question. When we maintain multiple currencies for a company code, what are the requirements for maintaining depreciation areas? Do we need to maintain a seperate depreciation area per currency? I am unsure of the link between multiple currencies and depreciation areas.
Need ur expert help to help me understand this better.
Thxs in advance.
Hrishi

HI
Any Depreciation Posting should automatically post to all the currencies that are active for a company code. In your case Parallel currency. Depreciation area has no link to the currency.

Copy parallel currency depreciation area

Hi Gurus,
We are migrating to New GL. As a part of this, I am creating 4 new depreciation areas (one for LC1 in non-leading ledger - 61, One for LC2 (GC) in non-leading ledger - 71 and the other two for delta between 01 - 61, and 31-71). I have marked 71 depreciation area as identical and adopting values from 61. I want to copy the values from the existing group currency depreciation area(31) into 71 as I want 71 to be a replica of 31 and I do not want the system to again convert the LC1 into GC using historical rates and I want to avoid writing an LSMW as they are lots of assets. Can someone advice how I can copy over dep area 31 to 71 using AFBN. System does not allow 71 to reference 31 in OABC for take over of same values. Thanks.

Hi,
For a correct and simple parallel valuation scenario, please review SAP Note 1433535 which provides the necessary instruction how to create a ledger scenario, including parallel currency areas.
(For posting indicators and their meaning you can check KBA 1572318).
Please verify in your system and take into account the following information regarding ledger scenario logic: also, please refer to the standard ledger scenario logic documentation.
In short, this is a basic configuration of depreciation areas and posting indicators in asset transaction OADB:
                                         Posting to G/L         Ledger
Area 01 HGB                    1                             0L
Area XX IAS                     3                             1L (your ledger code)
Area YY (IAS - HGB)        6                             1L (your ledger code)
Same setup is valid for the other ledgers that you may have.
You should also beware that according to the ledger scenario logic: Acquisiton/transfer/retirement postings in area 01 go to ALL ledgers, independently of the setting in OADB (this is not an error).
The difference is posted through the derived area.
Here I list again the 3 most relevant SAP Notes listed in regard to creating a ledger scenario:
1433535    Parallel valuation: Ledger approach
1594311    Duplicate posting in non-leading ledger when APC tr
1572318    Meaning of field "Posting in G/L" in transaction OADB
Hope this helps you.

Brigitte

Change Value in Depreciation Area that does not generate posting

Hi,
We have a depreciation area for fiscal values that does not have any posting in G/L. Such depreciation area should have the same value as the posting area, but now some of our assets have 0 in fiscal area and we would like to have the same as the posting area. How can we change manually the value of the fiscal depreciation area? We would like to change only such depreciation area and not the others.
Thank you very much,
Ariana

You can create a new transaction type (a copy from 100) and limit this transaction type to your fiscal depreciation area.
Then you can make with this new transaction type and the transactions abso the postings in asset accounting

Depreciation area for foreign currency acquisitions (EURO)

Hello,
My client requires that the foreign currency acquisitions (EURO acquisitions) should be tracked in a separate depreciation area (apart from other depreciation areas).
Is there anyway a depreciation area could be selectively populated only based on currency of the procurement/transaction currency?
Any alternatives exist, that would report the foreign currency acquisitons in the asset reporting?
Thank you,
Ram

Hi
Is the purpose to track assets purchased in foreign currency or to see the depreciation on them based on some different rules - say the company has HQ in Europe and wants to see depren as per the rules in HQ country.

Different Aquisition Value (APC) for group and local depreciation area?

Hello,
Is it possible to have different APC/acquisition value in your group and local depreciation area? We want to book the net book value as APC for local depreciation area while gross APC and accumulated depreciation are recorded in group depreciation area.
Group Depreciation Area
APC- 100
Accum Dep- 20
Local Depreciation Area
APC-80
I'd highly appreciate if you can give inputs.

Hi,
You did exactly whats required to acheive your requirement.
There is no more further implications by removing the tick for a while and reverting after go live.
While doing AS91, if you enter the APC value for 01 area, then that value will be automatically populated to the other dependent areas of 01 area. ( In case, if your other areas are in diff currency also, system will converts the 01 area value in to other area's curr by taking the exch rate).
Here you can still change the APC values for the all other areas. (The other areas should have been unticked for Identical APC value check box in OABC).
So while creating AS91, in tkaover values tab, enter APC value 80 in your 01 area and manually change the value in your group area. (REmove 80 and enter 100).
For accum dep, in takeover values tab, enter accum dep 20 in group area only. (like OABC, in OABD also the other areas should be unticked for the identical value check box).
This will resolve your issue.
Thanks,
Srinu
