Change of Depreciation key - Planned Depreciation

Dear All,
We are having the scenario that, when we change the depreciation key for the asset, the system issues the warning message and still we need to change that.
However the asset has been posted to already. As a result of changing the depreciation key, the planned depreciation in open fiscal years will be recalculated.
How do we avoid to recalculate the planned depreciaiton for the asset when we change the depreciation key.
Because everytime we need to stop depreciation for a number of assets and thus change of depre.key is required.
I request you to all, please kindly provide your values.
Regards,
Ran.

Hi Friend,
It is possible to change the depreciation key, but you can not avoid Planned Dep. Posting Run. As the system considers that it has to re-run.
According to me, you should create the new depreciation Area for such kind of assets and you should go for manual depreciation. Because it is not reasonable to change the depreciation key everytime.

Jigar

  • What is Class in Depreciation Key

    Hi SAP Gurus,
    Can anyone pls tell me how a depreciation key takes depreciation rate.In AFAMA you will find 1. base method 2. decl-bal method 3. Prd Cont & 4.Multilevel Method.
    There is a field, named Class where straight line is selected. Here are 3 options available in the drop down menu a) Straingt Line depreciation b) Decling balance depreciation and c) other depreciation.
    My question is if a depreciation key is assigned to an asset class, which rate of depreciation it will take as there are 4 methods defined in the depreciation key it self.
    Can anyone elucidite me on this pls.

    Hi,
    In dep.key the four methods play different roles to compute depreciation.
    The rate we will specify in multi level method.
    For example-
    Depreciation key controls:
    a. the rate of depreciation - Multi level method
    b. the start of depreciation - Period control method
    c. the base value of depreciation - base method
    d. the end of depreciation  -do
    e. allowing depreciation after useful life  do
    Hope it helps you.

  • Depreciation key can it be changed

    1) Can we change the depreciation key beofre running depreciation for assets. Suppose we decide that we want to change the depreciaiton key to calculate depreciation at 4% rather then at 2%, can we do that. If yes, how do we do that. Also can we do the same for Asset Group.
    2) What is the purpose acquiring asset with automatic offsetting entry ABZON?
    Why would we post capitalize existing assets if the previous year is closed. They must still be depreciated since they are existing in the system. Please explain why do we need to post capitalize an existing asset. I can understand for a new asset, it works.

  • After AFAB, I've changed depreciation key for an asset from 20% to 0%

    Hi All,
    I've posted depreciation (AFAB) for periods from 01 to 04 (Depreciation Area 20).
    Later I've changed the depreciation key for an asset from 20% to 0%.
    In my test SAP allows me to update depreciation data only in the period 05 (for previous data).
    Is there the way to repete the depreciation posted in the periods from 01 to 04!
    Cluo d anyone help me??
    Thanks

    Rossi,
    Since you have already posted the depreciation for the periods 01 to 04, the system assumes that there are no postings pending for those periods and hence shows the recalculated depreciation in period 05. But you can do the repeat depreciation run using AFAB transaction code. You can try them for period 04 and the entire depreciation posted till 04 will get charged in Period 04 itself.

    Where do you want to change the dep key?
    in AS02?
    in OAYZ?
    Go to AO21 and select your screen layout rule 1000 and choose field group rules and for field group dep key, select all check boxes like mnno, Sbno, and copy as maintainance level.
    This will fix your issue.

  • Planned Depreciation Changed - Recalculation of Depreciation

    When we are displaying any asset through AS03 system shows message " value of Ordinary deprec. have changed in dep. area 01 in fiscal year 2009 for all the assets.
    If we click on the message system shows following diagnosis
    Values for Ordinary deprec. have changed in dep. area 01 in fiscal year 2009Message no. AU390
    Diagnosis
    Depreciation terms were changed in depreciation area 01 since the last time depreciation was recalculated. The values for Ordinary deprec. that were saved in the database in fiscal year 2009 are therefore different from the newly calculated values by an amount of                                               22.33-.
    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
    And if we click on  Proceed  system take us to transaction recalculation of depreciation (t-code AFAR).
    As per the diagnosis given in the message depreciation is recalculated whereas we have not run recalculation of depreciation (AFAR) but we have changed the useful life of Asset Class 2260 & 2265 from 12 to 10 years. and transferred few assets within company code by transaction code ABUMN.  Is this happening because of that ?.
    We are surprised that till last depreciation run (period 5) business were not getting any such type of message and from period 5 onward system started showing this message.
    I was just checking planned depreciation for F.Y. 2009 of few assets and found that depreciation is not calculating properly.
    I have run AFAR in test mode and taken list of recalculated assets and also checked the recalculated depreciation manually and found that depreciation is calculated properly. Now we want to run AFAR in final mode but before moving ahead we want take concern from asset expert that we are going on right track or which another steps to be taken to resolve the same.
    One more thing I have noticed that if we run AFAR from F.Y. 2008 in test mode when F.Y. 2008 is closed system shows message  "Error in Dep. Calculation"  for all the assets related to F.Y. 2008 and before and when we open F.Y. 2008 and run AFAR again in test mode then system shows message   "Error in Dep. Calculation" only few AUC assets.

    Hi Paul,
    Thanks for quick response.
    I have ran AFAR in test mode in F.Y. 2009 when F.Y. 2008 is closed and checked that deprecation is calculating properly but the assets pertaining to F.Y. 2008 and there before are showing in error "Error in Dep. Calculation. I have ran AFAR in testing box by opening F.Y. 2008 and seen that system is not showing any error.
    Now my question is, if i will open F.Y. 2008 in production system and run AFAR and repeat deprecation run for recent period what will be the impact in last F.Y. 2008.
    Thanks,

  • Depreciation Key change

    Hi
    Emergency request***********
    Recently I had a requirement for change of depreciation key in the asset classes in depreciation areas 01- book depreciation to calculate straight line depreciation as the old depreciation key was not doing as requested. This was asked to configure for new assets. But, Now when the depreciation key is updated for all the assets and the depreciation is calculated very high and the deprecation is posted for that period.
    I know there is no way we can reverse the depreciation values posted for this what I have done is I updated the old depreciation key in asset classes and done the AFAB repeat depreciation run for the period for which values are posted but still this not updating.
    Can any one help me how to over come this issue...
    Thanks
    Srinath

    Hi Bernhard,
    Let me explain you once again,
    recently the request for change of depreciation key so, what I have done is created  a new depreciation key and assigned depreciation key in asset class.
    Old depreciation key: ABCD
    New depreciation Key is : XYZ1
    I changed with new depreciation key in Asset class but this is not updated in the assets but the values have changed for all the assets for that asset class.
    so, even when I put back the old depreciation key in the asset class and update this is not bringing any difference in the asset and when I re run the depreciation in AFAB this is not making any changes.
    Thanks
    Srinath

  • After 2 years want to change depreciation key for a asset

    Hi,
    For a particular asset we want to change depreciation key for this asset already we have posted depreciation for 2 years. After 2 years user realizes they are using wrong depreciation key now they want to change depreciation key for a particular asset.  In new financial year till now they have not posted depreciation .I just want to now what is the impact of this changes how we will adjust the value in future because previously they are calculating depreciation  1.63% now they want to calculate depreciation 3.33 % can any one tell me about the future impact of asset.
    How we will adjust the value?
    Thanks and Regards,
    Neha

    Hi,
    Does your user wants to post the depreciation for closed Fiscal years?
    If yes First calculate unplanned depreciation for the difference up to the last closed fiscal year and post in the current year.
    Now after posting this then change the depreciation key in the asset master and in the next run the system identifies the difference between posted value with the old Key and teh correct key and adjusts the difference in the current period depreciation run.
    If the user don't want to post the values of the previous years, change the key in asset master so that the difference in the depreciation from the start of the fiscal year is adjusted in the current period.
    Future impact if the option is second the asset life will be more when compared to the actual life. In first case there is no effect.
    Provide Business with these two solutions and they have to choose between the options.
    Reward points if useful.

  • Can we change Depreciation key from activate mode to deactivate mode

    Dear Gurus,
    I have created one depreciation key and status is activated.  After I don't want to use the depreciation key, can I deactivate the status of depreciation key or not.
    Please reply immediately.
    Regards
    Srinivas

    Hi Sri
    I dont think depreciation can be deactivated again once activated.
    But you can delete it if it has not been assigned to any asset.
    If it has been assigned, then change the depreciation key in all those assets and then delete the key which is not being used.

  • *URGENT* Change in logic of Depreciation key

    Dear SAP Gurus,
    We have an urgent requirement to change a logic in depreciation key.
    Current Scenario:
    Asset is depreciated until the remaining value of asset reaches 10% of acquisition cost.
    Required Scenario:
    Asset is depreciated until the remaining value of asset reaches 10% of acquisition cost. Thereafter, the remaining value is depreciated until the remaining value of asset reaches 5% of acquisition cost.
    For eg.)
    Acquisition cost: JPY100,000
    Life: 4years
    depreciation rate 0.438
    declining-balance method
    Year    accum depre   residual value
    Y1        JPY43,800        JPY56,200
    Y2        JPY68,416        JPY31,584
    Y3        JPY82,250        JPY17,750
    Y4        JPY90,024          JPY9,976
    Y5        JPY94,394          JPY5,606
    Y6        JPY95,000          JPY5,000
    [Problem]
    In the Depreciation key being set, the final depreciable limit is not considered as described above.
    Therefore, the system only compute depreciation until the remaining value of asset reaches 10% of acquisition cost and stop calculation. The system doesn't allow to adjust depreciation amount using ABMA (Manual depreciation) either.
    [Requirement]
    We would like to ask you to modify configuration.
    Question: How and where do I make this change to take care of the requirement?
    I have already changed the depreciation rate to 5% in T-code AFAMA (Maintain Depreciation Key.
    SPRO > Financial Accounting > Asset Accounting > Depreciation > Maintain Depreciation Key)
    But still it is not working properly.
    Could you please suggest if there is anywhere else I need to change the configuration?
    Suitable reward points shall be awarded.

    Hi.
    After making changes to the depreciation key, you must run transaction AFAR in order for the system to recalculate the values.

  • Incorrect Planned Depreciation after posting unplanned depreciation

    Hello Everyone,
    We have encountered a case whereas an asset acquired in April 2008 with 5 years useful life was planned to be fully depreciated in period 2 of 2009. Below are the details and postings done:
    1 - NBV -> 1,056,143.00
    2 - Posted Write-up -> 18,054.00
    3 - Posted Unplanned depreciation -> 1,038,992.23- (the system actually issued that only the amount of 835,445 can be posted as unplanned dep. In order to bypass this, user changed the dep key to MANU then changing it back after the unplanned posting)
    4 - Posted Ordinary Dep for Period 1 of 2009 -> 19,892
    5 - Planned Ordinary Dep for Period 2 of 2009 -> 15,312.77-
    Once the amount of 15,312.77 is posted, the asset will have Zero NBV.
    *My question is: Why did the system posted the 15,312.77 in period 2 only and not spread the amount until 2013 since the asset's useful life is for 5 years (until 2013).
    We have tried recalculation of values and the planned depreciation remains the same for period 2.
    Hope someone can help.
    Thank you in advance.
    Regards,
    Cholo

    Hello Vinod,
    Period control is 004 which is configured in AFAMP having 01 - Pro rata at period start date for Acquisition, Acquisition in the following year, Retirement and trasfer. Does it have anything to do with the start of depreciation?
    Also, when we adjust the ord dep start date to < April 26, the original planned depreciation is not affected for the current FY but only the next FY and moving forward.
    For example:
    Asset worth 12,000 to be depreciated in 10 years
    1 - Alrready in period 3 and 200 has been posted
    2 - Posted unplanned dep of 800
    3 - Total planned dep for this year did not change (1,200)
    4 - System calculated for current year depreciation 1200 (planned) + 800 (unplanned) = 2000
    5 - And for the next years 12,000 - 2,000 = 10,000 / 9 years
    Should it not be that that 12,000 - 1,000 (200 planned + 800 unplanned) = 11,000 / 9 years and 9 months?
    It seems that the unplanned depreciation affected the depreciation computation of the asset only in the next FY.
