Configure asset depreciation value

I would like to configure my depreciation as below. May I know how should I go by?
{[(Acquisition value - accumulated/original depreciation value) * depreciation percentage]/365 days} * 31 days

Hi Patralekha
The multi-level method defines the validity period for a given percentage rate of depreciation. You determine the validity period for the individual levels of a key by specifying the length of time in years and months. You can choose whether the defined validity period begins with
1)The capitalization date
2)The start date for ordinary or tax depreciation
3)The original acquisition date of the asset under construction
4)The changeover year
This method is assigned to the depreciation key maintained in the asset master. Hence to configure depreciation you need to maintain:
1)Depreciation Area
2) Depreciation Key
2) Valuation methods - Period Control and Multilevel methods
I hope this helps!

Some question about asset depreciation value?

In our system, there is a asset acquisition value 3297600, use life 5 years.
We use Straight line to calculate depreciation value of one month is 3297600 / 5 / 12 => 54960, this asset will be completed depreciation in 2011/08,
Original Value
2011/01　-54960
2011/02　-54960
2011/03　-54960
2011/04　-54960
2011/05　-54960
2011/06　-54960
2011/07　-54960
2011/08　-54960
When our user transfer other asset value to this asset, the asset depreciation becomes a strange value.
The User trasnfers two asset value to this asset. The first asset transfered 303090 (Asset acquisition 3030900, Accumulated depreciation -2727810) in 2011/03/31, The second asset transfer 12480 (Asset acquisition 149,760, Accumulated depreciation -137,280) in 2011/04/30
User expects the deprecaition value as below
2011/01　-54960
2011/02　-54960
2011/03　-54960 + -50515
2011/04　-54960 + -50515 + -2496
2011/05　-54960 + -50515 + -2496
2011/06　-54960 + -50515 + -2496
2011/07　-54960 + -50515 + -2496
2011/08　-54960 + -50515 + -2496
But current asset calculated the deprecaition value as below
2011/01　-54960
2011/02　-54960
2011/03　-54960 + -50515
2011/04　-54960 + -50515 + -2496
2011/05　-54960 + -50515 + -2496
2011/06　-54960 + -50515 + -2496
2011/07　-54960 + -50515 + -2496
2011/08　1,949 (?)
2011/09　-107,971 (?)
2011/10　98,534 (?)
2011/11　-100,483 (?)
I don't know why the SAP calculated depreciation period becomes to 2011/11?
How can I change the asset depreciation value to "User expects the deprecaition value"?
The user chooses depreciation key AS90 Configuration as below

Hi,
In SAP there are different settings depending if you what the additional incoming charges to depreciate with independent start dates, versus all subsequent acquisitions to an asset record adopting the existing "Capitalized on" date in master data for the very first acquisition to record.
Are you getting the other option not desired?

Asset depreciation calculation based on net book value adjustment

currently I have one asset depreciated based on acquisition value, I want to depreciate using netbook value starting from May,
thus May and afterwards depreciation should be 61107 USD.
but accountant forget this and depreciate asset in May with amount 54628. the June planned depreciation is still based on Acquisition value, i.e. 61150.
So how to adjust June depreciation, if I create a new depreciation key with multi-method based on NBV and change asset master,
will this solve problem?
how to adjust May posting since it is already posted? thanks

Thank you for the reply.
But The issue here is I changed the depreciation key based on NBV, but planned depreciation still based on acquisition value for the following months. by the way, OAYR is monthly depreciation. I didn't tick the smoothing, I think this will affect whole company code. I only want to change the depreciation key based on NBV for three assets only, the rest of assets still using Acquistion value depreciation.
I do test in a sand box, now the latest posted depreciation is April, original depreciation key is Z001 (based on Acquisition value),
I changed the depreciation key to Z002(based on NBV), in AS03, I can see the planned depreciation for May is still 61150(based on Acquisition value). I run AFAB, (test run), the result is same.
My objective is let May and subsequent months planned depreciation to be 61107 based on NBV of April.
Simply change the depreciation key doesn't work at all, anyone have the solution, which other fields in asset master I need to change? or do i need other configuration? thanks

Can Any one help me regarding this issue

Asset Depreciation Planned values

Hi Everyone,
There is a requirement for us to pull planned as well as posted depreciation values for assets. The input for the program would essentially be Fiscal Year, selected list of asset class & cost centers. We are using the FM 'AM_SHOW_POST_DEPR' to fetch posted & planned values. Now the issue is that, since not many key fields are provided, the report takes so much time to fetch the required assets and its posted / plan values. On doing a more close analysis it was found that 75 % of the data fetching time is consumed by the FM 'AM_SHOW_POST_DEPR'. Is there any other function modules / method to perform the activity done by this FM, so that the performance can be improved, or if possible can somebody provide the logic involved in asset plan data projection.
This FM returns the values which can be seen in posted values tab of the transaction code 'AW01N'.
Regards,
Kiran

You are talking about dep planned values thus this is not posted as actual values?
When the actuals values are posted there is longer planned values.
When you want to make changes you can use the transaction:
ABZU - Write-Up
When you want to do this you should re open fiscal year 2008 for asset accounting. Following on this you have to do the fiscal year closing again for 2008 and 2009.
This action will create postings in FI in 2008 and 2009!!!!!!!

Sorry my apologies a small correction.
You can determine the asset value date based on rules:
these rules are defined in configuration.
asset accounting >transactions> specify how default asset value date is determined.
great config..SAP is great..

Posted depreciation value is missing in Tax dep area

Hi

Thanks
SAPUSer

Hi Murali
Thanks for your analysis. My answer to your questions are in italic.Kindly suggest what I am missing here ?
Thanks
Sapuser
lease check transaction OAYR for Tax Depreciation area and analyze how the system has been configured for posting rule. For example if the tax depreciation area is configured annual, the depreciation will get posted once a year and so.
I have checked OAYR for tax depreciation area and it has posting rules Monthly.
Have you checked the other assets, is the problem with only one particular assets or all the assets?
Only this asset.
If the issue is only with a particular asset, does it give depreciation values in planned depreciation?
Yes , In planned Tab it has values.
Can you check the depreciation key settings for tax depreciation area in asset master?
It is MSTL for Tax, and LINR for 01.
Hope above will certainly help you to proceed with investigattion, if you send your reply may be some one pick up further to analyze the issue.

Problem with Asset Memo value

Just a memo value of 1 which we configured in OAYI.
Previously the asset depreciated until there was a value of 1 left. Now it depreciates to 0 and then plans to reverse the 1 each month until period 12 when it finally posts it.
Can you please advice if there is any other setting to be made in any tcode to ensure the asset depreciated until there is a value of 1 left and not to zero and then reverse 1.
Thanks.

Hi,
recently I had the same case and it was solved by note 1445133.
Please check it, even if it not exactly suit to this case.

Asset Legacy dt upld-problem in uploading fiscal year assets without value

Hi all ,
I am trying to upload Assets which are pertaining to current Fiscal year and for which no depreciation run is taken place , using Tcode AS91,
Initially I got error :
Capitalization date must be earlier than or same as transfer date.
Then I changed transfer date to 31.03.2009 .
Now I am getting error :
Current fiscal year 2008 has to be after transfer date 31.03.2009 .
How do I take these Assets with / without values ?
and if without values , then how can I update Asset values ?
Regards ,
Pallavi .

Hi Ramesh,
I have same scenaio we are uploading the assets on 30.09.2008, so our data transfer date is same.
The issue is
1. When we start AS91 for current year, assets takeover values fields are in display mode.
System configuration was:-
A). Legacy data transfer date was 30.09.2008
B). last period posted in previous system was 6th
C). capitalized date taken by me is after 31.03.2008 (Note: - when I take capitalization date before 31.03.2008, than system show me take over tab in change mode)
2). While doing AS92 also system shows me all takeover tab fields in display mode, when I select capitalization date after 31.03.2008.
The thing is that how we can upload all those assets which we have purchased in the current year and how we will treat with the depreciation in the system
up to which date we should take accumulated dep for previous year assets.
please answer if u want i can raise a seprate question.
Regards

This is regarding Asset Depreciation Calculation

Dear All,
I had doubt regarding Asset depreciation calculation.If i want to Dpreciate the Total Asset value Upto 95% and 5% is scrap value ,where do we configure this setting in SAP Asset Module.
Thanks & Regards,
Prasanna.M

Hi,
You can achieve this by either scrap value / memo value in your depreciation area.
Go to AS02, go to dep area tab, double click on depreciation area and in detail section enter the scrap value percentage or value. This procedure is only possible, if scrap value maintainance is allowed at main asset and sub asset number in AO21.
This will resolve your issue.
Thanks,
Srinu

Fixed Asset: market value

Hi All!
Due to IAS we must post an special provision:
when the inmaterial fixed asset value market is minor than fixed asset net value we have to post a provision by depreciation (in order to reflect the possible loss when we sale it)
This provision does not affect the fixed asset countable net value. So that provision don't have post in 01 depreciation area. But:
1- when we sell the assets the provision must appear in the sale affecting to the benefit or loss.
2- I need to know the provision for each fixed assets. That's why we need SAP shows its in FI-AA area.
With the transactions under Manual Value Correction folder (fixed asset menu) the fixed asset net value is modified.
We've tried to implement a second area doesnt affect to fixed
asset values from the 01 depreciation area and vice verse to post there this provision. But The system doesnt allow that (message error number AC528)
Do have more ideas?
Thank You in advance

Hi Vijay, thank you for your answer but...
It seems that Transferred Reserves is used to sell a fixed asset and transfer the benefit to other asset (If I've undertood right)
I put an exemple to fix the question:
I adquiered a fixed asset by 1.000 euros (a building) in 2005
- Deprecation key: LIND (Str.-line) / Use Life: 10 years
In 2007 my building on second hand house market is valuated in 500 euros (minor than fixed asset countable net value 800 euros).
So I must post a provision by depreciation by 300 euros. That post does'nt affect to fixed asset countable net value (is just a provision). My fixed asset countable net value is 800 euros.
In 2010 I sold my asset by 1.000 euros. My fixed asset countable net value is 500 euros. So my profit is 500 euros. Then I must to reverse the provision post in 2007 .
I need to post that provision related to fixed asset but without affect to asset net value, to reverse that in the asset sale.
Thank You very much
Francesc
