Clarification Regarding Asset Accounting Chart of Depreciation Copy

Hi,
We have a company code called ACT
For that we have a chart of depreciation assigned is ACT
Number Ranges are 1000000-1999999 (For Example)
Now we configured one more company code called RNC by Copying ACT company code and other settings from ACT company code only.
Clarification required - In Asset Accounting for Company code RNC we are plannint to assign chart of depreciation ACT as it is.
If we do like that - System will take the number ranges from the above ACT number ranges 1000000-1999999 ? or else system will take 1000000-1999999 number ranges from RNC company code? This is my doubt?
I think system will share the 1000000-1999999 number ranges in Asset accounting for both company codes ACT & RNC as we are using Same ACT chart of depreciation for Both company codes.
If we assign Same chart of Depreciation to both ACT and RNC company codes - Is it necessary to do any other configuration or no need to do any?
Kindly clarify my doubt
Thanks
Supriya

Hello,
Make sure that the both the company codes are in a single country before assigning the same chart of depreciation.
The number range of assets are defined at company code level. Meaning that you can have the same asset number in different company codes. The system will not share the number ranges across company codes.

Dear Experts,
Please clarify below questions.
1) What is the difference between Depreciation Area and Depreciation Key?
2) What is the importance of Recalculate value button in Asset Accounting?
3) Suppose I have 1000 assets, if I want to run depreciation only for 200 assets how can I do that?
4) If suppose I have 5 Depreciation areas, I am able to see the book depreciation values only, where I
can see the other depreciation values? If we cant see for which purpose we are using other
depreciation areas?
5) Vendor and Customer balances get update regularly or once in a month or year?
6) Where we have to create number ranges either in Production or Development Environment?
7) How can we transfer GLs from one environment to another?
Full points will be assigned as way of thanks

Vineela

Hi Krishna,
Thanks for your reply,But still I need some more clarifications please respond........
2) What is the importance of Recalculate value button in Asset Accounting?-
(A)recalculates depr when asset parameters are changed
Where it will be there as it(recalculate button) is not there in AFAB
3) Suppose I have 1000 assets, if I want to run depreciation only for 200 assets how can I do that?
(A)select those 200 and run depreciation
Here Assets Selection option is there only in test run not there in update run.
4) If suppose I have 5 Depreciation areas, I am able to see the book depreciation values only, where I can see the other depreciation values? If we cant see for which purpose we are using other depreciation areas? (A)use AW01N- you cans ee all dep areas
In AW01N only book depreciation values is displayed,how can I see other depreciation area values

FI-AA: Assignment asset class to chart of depreciation

Hi all,
does anybody know whether it's possible to assign asset classes to a specific chart of depreciation (or let's say to delete this assignment)?
The background of the question is the following: Some asset classes should not be used in some company codes. All these company codes use the same chart of depreciation, so I thought there must be a possibility to delete the assignment of this asset class to this chart of depreciation. Unfortunately, I haven't found this setting in the IMG.
The SAP Message no. AC 012 tells for example, that there is an assignment "asset class to chart of depreciation". This is the message:
In order to be able to assign chart-of-depreciation-dependent data to asset class 120204, the following conditions have to be met. You have to have already
1. Defined at least two active charts of depreciation
2. Assigned asset class 120204 to more than one chart of depreciation
However, at the moment this asset class is only assigned to chart of depreciation 1.
As we have definitely more than one active chart of depreciation, there must be this assignment, but how can I change it?
I've seen that I can set a block for an asset class in a chart of depreciation in transaction OAYZ (ANKB-XSPEB / Indicator: Block asset class chart of depreciation-specifc). But I think that I will still see the asset class in the match code search (F4) when I set this indicator.
Does anybody know how I can delete an asset class form a chart of depreciation so that it won't be found via match code search? I've checked almost the whole FI-AA tree but haven't found a solution...
Thank you very much!
Regards,
Peter

Hi Eric,
thanks for your answer. As far as I can see, the option "chart of depreciation only" in transaction AM05 has the same effect than the parameter "chart of depreciation" in transaction OAYZ.
As I receive a transport request via transaction AM05, it seems that this changes the same customizing table.
Fortunately, all company codes in this chart of depreciation need the same settings, so a validation rule seems not to be necessary.
It's just strange that there is no possibility to edit the assignment asset class to chart of depreciation in customizing (I think the assignment to all asset classes in the system will be created automatically when I copy the chart of depreciation). I think the only possibility would be to edit the respective tables manually (what I definitely won't do).
Another strange thing I see in the system: There are 2 asset classes 120203 and 120204, which are both set up equally. When I try to block these in AM05, I'll receive the error message AA 111 for asset class 120204, while the asset class 120203 can be blocked without problems. When I use matchcode search F4, I can see 120203 while 120204 is not found.
Message AA111 is the following:
Chart of dep. 100 does not exist in class 120204 (Create chart of deprec.)
Diagnosis
Chart of depreciation 100 does not exist in class 120204.
Procedure
Create the chart of depreciation 100 for asset class 120204 using the transaction 'Create asset class' and the function 'Create chart of dep.'.
There is the assignment asset class to chart of depreciation.
When I check asset class 120204 in OAYZ (Determine Depreciation Areas in the Asset Class) I'll get the following message (I don't get this message when I check 120203):
Deprec. area 50 was changed and deactivated. Please check.
Message no. AC 631
Diagnosis
Depreciation area 50 was added to asset class 120204 because this depreciation area was newly created in Customizing.
System Response
The system adds the new depreciation area to the asset class, but its status is 'deactivated.'
Procedure
Check if this action by the system is correct. Maintain the depreciation areas in the asset class, and remove the 'deactivated' indicator there, if you choose.
For sure, depreciation area 50 was not newly created in customizing (as stated in the error message), as this depreciation are is in production for years! There must be another reason for this.
However, this says to me that the assignment asset class to chart of depreciation is created by SAP automatically and this can't be influenced.
Therefore I'll just block the asset class in the chart of depreciation with the disadvantage, that I'll see this asset class when I use the matchcode search F4 (e.g. in AS01). This seems to be the only solution.
Thanks again for your help (you got some points for that ;-).

Peter

Incorrect posting in asset accounting after legacy asset transfer

I have an issue in Asset accounting.
The depreciation key used is LINA (with a base method 0009 and Dec. bal. method 001 straight line depreciation)
My question is:
An asset was acquired 02/01/2005. It has an expected useful life of 1/11.
Under AS93.
I see the asset ***. acquisition value 205,695.00
Accu.ord. deprec - 78,784.06
The asset was transferred to SAP at 03/31/2007.
Now In aw01n I see the following:
Legacy data transfer Per 3 Ord. deprec 10,143.87
Posted Per 4 13,364.13
Posted 5 5877.00
Posted 6. 5877
Till 8th month posted 5877.
The posted values are wrong. Since it was transferred to SAP it has a useful life
of 1 year. At this rate it will go for 3 years.
What can I do to rectify this error?
Why is it posting 5877?
Thanks,

Hi Roma,
The useful life has to be the Total Useful life of the asset.
Since your useful life is less than the expired usefull life the system is calculating depr. for after the end of useful life, which for base method 0009 is curbing.
<i>Curb
With depreciation beyond the planned useful life, the depreciation percentage rate can be derived, not only from the planned useful life, but also from the actual useful life. This method produces a declining-balance effect instead of a straight-line effect (curb).
Use Base Method 0007, this does not curb.
Kind regards
An asset that originally had a useful life of 10 years is depreciated in year 11 by 1/11 = 9.09 %, in year 12 by 8.33 % and in year n with 100/n %.
When you use below-zero depreciation with a curb, the system determines the percentage rate, after the end of planned life, to the exact period and not to the year.</i>

Net Book Value - Asset Accounting

Dear Gurus,
I need a clarification regarding Asset uploading in ECC 5.0.
I have uploaded asset balances upto 31.01.07.(Fiscal Year - Apr to March). I have given the acquicition value in the field '***.acquis.val.' and accumulated depreciation upto 31.01.07 in the field 'Accm.ord.deprec'.
When i execute the depreciation for Feb 2007, system is calculation depreciation on net book value as on 31.01.07. But it has to be calculated on the net book value as on 31.03.06.
Please help me in this problem.
Note: Base value - 24 (Net Book Value) in Multi Level Methods.
Thanks & Regards.
Ganesh

Hi Venkat,
When ever you upload asset balances the below two points to be considered.
First, you need to upload the balaces of assets which were not acquired during the current fiscal year(In your case acquired before 31.03.2007)
Secondly, you need to upload the balances of assets acquired during the year (from 01.04.2007 to cut over date (need to be defined in the system)).
You can use LSMW for uploading.

Where we have to open and close posting periods in asset accounting

hi sap gurus
can anybody give where we have to open and close posting periods in asset accounting
thank you
venkatareddy

Hi Venkatareddy,
You make specifications for fiscal years and posting periods in the SAP R/3 System in Customizing for Financial Accounting. This is done in the fiscal year variant in the global parameters of the company code. These settings are, in general, also binding for Asset Accounting. The depreciation periods in Asset Accounting then correspond to the posting periods in Financial Accounting.<b> It is usually not necessary to create a separate fiscal year variant for Asset Accounting.</b>
The period control in the depreciation key determines the start and end of depreciation when asset transactions are posted . The period control determines the relationship between the calendar period in which the asset transaction is posted and the depreciation period.
These calendar periods are independent of the posting periods in Financial Accounting. The only restriction is that the beginning of the first calendar period and the end of the last calendar period defined in a period control have to match the start date and final date of the fiscal year in Financial Accounting.
Kindly let me know if this useful for you

FICO : Asset Accounting - Depreciation Run Issue

Dear Friends,
I have an issue in asset accounting.
Let me explain the actual background of this issue.
1. I created a new company code(2000) by copying the existing one(1000 along with the closed year 2009
2. After that when i was trying to post acquisition for an asset i got the below error
You cannot post to asset in company code 2000 fiscal year 2011
3. Then i closed the year 2010 and opened 2011, it allowed me to post in the month of june
4. Now i am trying to run the depreciation for june, its giving the below error.
According to posting cycle, you should post period 001 next
5. What could be the reason for this error , is it the correct procedure what i am doing it now?
Please help if someone has an idea about that
Thanks ,
Perumal.

Hi,
You can get the solution if you double click the error message.
Please note that depreciation of current month can only be posted if the depreciation dycles till the previous month is completed. Coming to your case, you have opened the year 2011 and trying to post depreciation for period 6. You need to run the depreciation cycles from period 1 to 5 before trying to post for period 6.

Asset Accounting: Lineal Depreciation

Hey!
I have implanted the module of Asset Accounting. We have defined a lineal depreciation Key for some assets. But when we enter to the Asset explorer (AW01N), we can see that we have different values for each posting period (the posting periods are defined in months). I think this is because each month have diferente days so Sap calculate different values. We think that SAP is considering if the month has 31 days or 30 days.
I want the depreciation to be calculated with the same value each month. In what point of the cuztomizing I can define this?
Thank you in advance,
Leyre

Pls check the settings for the period control methods where you can define the no.of days with FV, based on the days wise you can restrict the depreciation amounts calulation, but the specific amounts option will not be available to serve your purpose.
Let me know for any further info.

Suresh

How to delete depreciation areas when a posting is made in asset accounting

Hi All,
We are implementing asset accounting to few of our company codes as a new company code start up project. We have opened depreciation areas for tax for one company code and found that we are not going to use this company code for asset accounting.
We have already opened 2 depreciation areas one for tax and the other as difference between book and tax depr in our development client. One of our member has created an asset and posted values to it. Now, we were told that we dont need to open the depreciation areas. When i am trying to delete it system giving error message saying you cannot delete the derived depr as the values have already been posted.
Please advice how i should proceed with the above issue for deleting the depreciation areas. Your help is much appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Hi Rose,
For the below mentioned issue do the following:
1) reset all the depreciation data ( t code OAGL)
2) reset all the asset account co code data (t code OABL)
then u can go and delete the depreciation areas.

Kiran
