COA and Depreciation Areas

Hello!
Is it possible to assign two different chart of account to a only one depreciation area?
Thanks
Best regards,
Bruno

Hi Bruno,
This is not possible.
We just need to understand the concept about assignment of COA and COD, we don't assign chart of account to depreciation area, actually you assigned One company code to one Chart of account (COA)T.code OB62 and same way one Company code is assigned to one operational chart of depreciation (COD) T.code OAOB. Just go to t.code OB62, and OAOB, you will not get an option to have multiple COA and COD against one company code.
Note: But one chart of account and one chart of depreciaton we can assigned to many company code.
If you go to AO99, system will pick automatically the chart of account based upon chart of deprection assignment to company code and company code assignment to chart of account.
I hope this will clear you understanding.
Regards
Javed

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.

I have 4 co. codes, which is having same Chart of accounts, same controlling area. And all co. codes assigned to one company. What is the process of consolidation to make the consolidation.

Sorry,
You have all co codes under one company, why dont you try to run a GL report from that "one company"?
Did I got you wrong?

No posting information for depreciation are 30 US GAAP

Dear expert:
We use parallel accounting with account-base solution(specific accounts + common accounts) for local and US GAAP,our system key configure as following:
OADB:define depreciation area
Area. Name of area Real g/l

Please help me out ,thanks.

Hello John
     The indicator of Post to G/L account of depreciation area 30 is "4 area posts APC directly and depreciation",here is APC directly,maybe it shouldn't need to run ASKB,
     If the indicator of Post to G/L account is "2 APC and depreciation area on periodic basis**" it should need to run ASKB.
     I do not quite understand the function ASKB, and system returns error when I run ASKB as you said:
Error 1
Account F21100001 in company code 1000 cannot be directly posted to
Message no. F5354
Diagnosis
Account "F21100001" in company code "1000" is marked as a reconciliation account for account type "A" and cannot therefore be directly posted to.

Depreciation areas in ANLP

Hi All,
In the table, ANLP, I can not see some specified depreciation areas and their values even though I see the data for all specified depreciation areas in AS03.
For example, 40 and 60 depreciation areas are specified in OABN. However, in table ANLP, I just obtain results for depreciation area 60 and I can not see the depreciation area 40. For this problem, how can I get the data for depreciation area 40 and depreciation area itself in ANLP?
In general, how can I see all specified depreciation areas and see data for those depreciation areas in ANLP?
Points will be rewarded!!
Cheers!

Thank you Nathan!
I have changed the posting status for depreciation area 40 but I still can not see it in ANLP. At that point even though some depreciation areas has posting status 0 (means no posting), they have data in ANLP. For example, depreciation area 25 and 40 have posting status 0 but I can see data for depreciation area 25 in ANLP but I cannot see for 40. How can I obtain data for depreciation area 40 in ANLP? What else can I do to obtain?
Regards!

System does not reset asset retirement date for Depreciation Area specific transaction after area has been deleted

Good day,
I needed to create a new depreciation area in a live system. The depreciation area would not post to the GL, but would be used for tax purposes in a currency other than the local currency. When creating this area the asset values were translated at the system exchange rate which did not agree with the values of the manually maintained tax register. I proceeded by creating new transaction types that would only post to the new area, one of which was an asset disposal transaction, which would be used for downward adjustment of the APC value. I made my adjustments at the end of the previous financial year, but had to start over and proceeded to delete the depreciation area to allow me to start over.
After reinstating the depreciation area, my original adjustments were removed, however the assets which APC values needed to be adjusted downward using the disposal transaction, was giving me the AA 478 Posting transaction is not possible (value date not allowed) error.
I've reviewed the asset postings and there is no record of my original adjustment documents. The problem seems to be that field ANLA-ABGDT (Last Retirement Date), is still indicating the date of my previous adjustments and that this was not updated when the Depreciation Area was deleted and reinstated.
Again, I do not have any documents which I can access or reverse to update this table. Is there any way to clear this field without reversing the disposal document?
I'm also looking at implementing SAP note 1618286, to make error message AA478 a warning. I could not implement SAP note 533378 since it only supports component version 46c and we are currently running component verson 605.
I would appreciate your consideration of my problem.
Regards
Marius

If you are in Test System, you can use function module AA_AFABER_DELETE to totally delete the depreciation area (tcode SE37, specify chart of depreciation and depreciation area), After that recreate your depreciation area and run AFBN. But before you do that, have you created a retirement transaction type that limits the posting on your new depreciation area? If not create one.
Hope this helps.
Thanks!

Stop depreciation and interest on one depreciation area

We have area 01 depreciation and area 70 - which for us is a managerial (statistical) depreciation posting with interest. When this depreciation and interest is posted the offset is to a contra account so when looking at the FI side it nets to zero. The asset is owned by the leasing company and we indicate on the time dependant tab which operating company is getting the statistical depreciation and interest.
Our issue is the they 'transfer' these assets to another operating company with a fair market value. The asset itself does not leave the leasing company and true FI depreciation is not touched. Since we need to show a new value for the asset for the statistical depreciation and it gets a new depreciation schedule we found creating a sub asset and doing ABSO to 'write up' area 70 with the FMV of the transfer amount allows us to start the statistical depreciation to the transfered operating company with no issues. The issue is stopping the area 70 depreciation and interest on the main asset - to the first operating company.
I tried putting a scrap value equal to the remaining book value on the main asset in depreciation area 70 and that did stop the depreciation - but it's still trying to post interest for the next period and beyond.
Ideas? Options you guys can think of?
Thanks
Karla

Hi,
a) Copy the retirement transaction to a new one and restrict it to post only in area 70. You can then completly dispose the asset in that area.
b) Use/create a depreciation key in that area that has Shutdown = Yes. In the time dependant tab you can then set the asset to shutdown and it will stop depreciating.
Kind regards

Tax depreciation area and non-leading ledger

I want to know how to post assets retirement and transfer transaction into non-leading ledger.
I setup one depreciation area 50 for local tax depreciation and accordingly one non-leading ledger ZZ for local satuary report.
Depreciation area posting indictor
01: Book depreciation             1
50: Tax depreciation               3 (only post depreciation)
90: Variance (50 minue 01)      6
system was able to peform below:
1) for acquisition transaction, same APC value was updated into both ledger
2) for depreciation, different depreciation amount can post into each ledger
But I don't understand below results:
1) For retirnment transaction, there is only one FI document posted into leading ledger with APC and accumulated depreciation. But I could not find any related document in non-leading ledger.
2) Same as assetes transfer transaction
3) But in assets explorer, the APC, accumulated depreciation was cleared correctly, also there is difference of accumulated depreciation in area 90(derived area)
I think it was different with my expectation: I thought SAP can post FI document to each ledger with APC and different accumulated depreciation.
My question was how to get the APC and accumulated account balance in non-leading ledger with local tax depreciation based.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks first.
ASKB was "Periodic Assets posting" but in our IMG the G/L posting indictor of prallel depreciation area was 3 (only post depreciation) and 6(only APC directly).
The setting was configured through the SAP wizard "Setup Areas for Paralle valuation".
Can you give further advice?

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

Depreciation area deactivated and reactivated

Hello dear all,
Depreciations Areas 03 & 08 have been reactivated for posting to GL yesterday.
Depreciation area 03 = depr. area 01 - depr area 02
Then users run AFAB and system is calculating depr 03 = depr 02
Now the depreciation 03 is activated, but the posting is wrong.
I need to know if there is a solution to correct those posting made in depr 03 due to that bad customizing ?
Thanks

Hi,
plaes make a AFAB repead run with the rigth customizing and the depr. will be corrected.

Automatic Posting in different depreciation area (4.7 and 6.0)

Dear all,
I want to understand how it is possible the procedure of automatic posting in different depreciation areas.
Exemple: I post a specific movement via ABAON, and automatically the system creates another document (with sequencial number, because uses THE SAME DOCUMENT TYPE), to another depreciation area (using ASKB). And that procedure happens in 4.7 version.
Now, in different version, like ECC 6.0, the system react the same as in 4.7, but uses another method when creates the document, as I say in the next path:
Financial Accounting >Asset Accounting>Integration with the General Ledger>Post APC Values Periodically to the General Ledger>Specify Document Type for Periodic Posting of Asset Values
This is the customization part to associate the new document (another depreciation area, as I've explained before).
This step is possible to choose only one document type. But in version 4.7 (at least it is what is happening in my client) the document type is choosen according to the first document, the one, I post in ABAON (or another transaction with similar characterics).
Please anyone can help me?
Thanks in advance,
CCT

Addendum:
The options in ECC 6.0 are:
0 Area Does Not Post
1 Area Posts in Realtime
2 Area Posts APC and Depreciation on Periodic Basis
3 Area Posts Depreciation Only
4 Area Posts APC Directly and Depreciation     -> V2 update
5 Area Posts APC Only
6 Area Posts Only APC Directly                         -> V2 update
If in the area is set the posting indicator 4 or 6 (V2) than it means it's a virtual posting (like 'post direct'). The postings in those area area technically processed via "V2-update". With this update a log table is written where all successul updates of this area are stored.
When you start RAPBER2000 this log table is compared against all postings (since the last run) and if there is any posting missing RAPERB2000 collects this missing posting.
This means, if in background for some reason, that we cannot tell in retrospect, there was an update error, or an error occurs due to missing customizing (please check you ASKBN posting in transaction ARAL which should tell what happened during your posting) ASKBN will pick up the outstanding posting and created/posts the FI document.
In your case the difference might be that This documents is posted either directly per V2 posting (=realtime) or later with RAPERB2000 and this causes different document types.

Derived and Real Depreciation Area Concept (Enduser Documents)

Hi, We have a requirement in which we need to maintain following Depreciation
Areas:
1.Real Depreciation Area
2.Cost Accounting Depreciation Area
3.IFRS Depreciation Area
Can anybody please explain how many derived depreciation areas we need to maintain. And also please provide some examples of adjustment postings for real and derived depreciatin areas.
Thanks

Hello, Sandeep:
The message tells us that:
it doesn't make sense to allow negative value of acquisition for a REAL depreciation area, only meaningful for a derived area, as it might be the result of one real area minus another real area.
And if you set it as allow all value (as it is only a warning), the system cannot forbid the negative acquisition technically (negative acquisition doesn't make sense as we can see).
Hope it will help.
Best Regards, Lawrence

ABT1N and parallel depreciation area, receiving Asset with zero value

Hello,
This is the case, ABT1N, same Chart of Depreciation. Transfer from Company A to B.
Values are copied for Depreciation Area 01 in Company B but not for Area 90 (Parallel Depreciation Area). Zero Amounts in Area 90.
Dep Area
01     => Main Ledger 0L
90     => Parallel Ledger L1
91     => Delta 01-90
I will appreciate any idea/clue.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Found it, Transfer Method in Transfer Variant should be '4' (Gross method with transfer of values to dependent areas).
