Create a Depreciation Key

Hello Gurus,
I have the following scenario -
An asset bought in 1999 has a useful life of 20 years and an initial value (amount) of 1000 euros. In 2009, its depreciation starts and the accumulated depreciation SHOULD be equal to 500 ( straight line depreciation i.e. ( 1000-(1000*10/20) ) ). This means that the value of the asset after these 10 years should be 500 euros.
The PROBLEM is that when the depreciation starts, after 10 years, the asset keeps its original value of 1000 euros i.e. accumulated depreciation is equal to 0. This is not correct.
I need to customize the correct depreciation key to do this.
Any suggestions?
Thanks alot in advance,
Christine

Hey
Did you solve the dep. prolem ? I am having the same problem.
I am trying to partialy transfer a FA from his current class to another one with a different life time (from 30 to 12 years ) using the ABUMN.
The asset was bought in 2009 and was wrongly associated to a building class which has a 30-year lifetime, now I need to tranfer it to the correct class which has a 12-year lifetime. I'm having two problem when I review the transfer process:
1) SAP is not calculating and charging the difference between the wrong depreciation rate expense and the correct one in the P&L, so my the net book value still incorrect.
2) SAP is not considering the time already depreciated to calculate the remaining life-time. It's considering the transfered asset as new for depreciation time purpose.
I need help!!!
Thank you

Link-Group Asset Class, Depreciation Area & Depreciation Key

Dear Experts,
I am new to FI-AA Customization & have a basic query about Group Asset Concept.
I am working on Ecc 6.0 & for Country India.
I want to create Group Asset for calculation of Depreciation as per Income Tax Act. Hence there is just one Depreciation Area (for Group Assets) , but the Depreciation keys are different. E.d IN1, IN2 etc. (Country Version India)
Now the questions are :
1) Do we need to create different Asset Class for different Group Assets or to create just 1 Asset Class for all Group Assets.
E.g. I want to calculate Depreciation As per income Tax Act on Gross Block of Building, Furniture & Fixture, Motor Car, Vehicles etc. So I need to create separate Group Asset Class for each one of above or just to create one Group Asset Class.
2) If we need to create just one Asset Class for all Group Assets; how to maintain a Depreciation Key in OAYZ as there are more than 1 Depreciation Keys?
3) is there any other method / functionality to calculate Depreciation as per income Tax Act or Group Asset is the only functionality?
Thanks & Regards,
Reshma

Dear,
Reshma.
Looking at your Questions let us take explanation for Group Assets :-
1 ) We need to create new different asset class for Group Class in OAOA. Then permit the depreciation area for only Group Asset in OAYM as it is in your current scenario India is Depreciation Area 15 Just select your company code in OAYM and check the Grp Asset field for respective area 15. Then go to OAAX here we have to maintain the assets classes particularly for Group Assets. So check your Group Asset classes for Group Assets. Cerate different Group asset classes for your said requirement.
In these depreciation areas, it is then possible to make an assignment to a group asset. You make this assignment in the specifications for the depreciation area in the asset master record. When you post an acquisition to this kind of asset, the system duplicates the line items from this depreciation area on the given group asset.
2 ) According to me you have to create different depreciation keys for Group Asset classes. Assign the Depreciation keys to your newly created Group Asset Classes in OAYZ and make sure you are deactivating 01 area which is Book Depreciation area.
3 ) As far as I know this is the only functionality available to handle Group Assets. How ever SAP does not have any standard Group Assets functionality. SAP does not supply asset classes to be used solely for group assets. It is we have to determine as per varying Business Process.
I hope this will clear your doubt makes you to understand. Please revert back for further clarification. Welcome you.

Pankaj A Bhalerao.

Depreciation Key for Capital Leasehold Improvement

Hi Everyone
I need your help in creating the depreciation key for the Capital leasehold improvemnet assets. I need to specify a specific percentage rate for each period of the first year to calculate depreciation (if asset is acquired in period 1, rate x. If asset is acquired in period 2, then rate y and so on). From year 2-39, it is a constant rate of depreciation.
I created a multilevel method by specifying that year 1, base level 01, rate is 2.461
Year 39, base level 01, rate is 2.564.
I assigned it to the depreciation key with Base method 0012, Period control 002, and the multilevel method that I created. When I post an asset acquisition and use this key for Asset, the amounts for year 1 & 2 are not correct. Second year is taking part of percentage from the first year and the first year is trying to calculate the depreciation for the whole year despite the fact that asset was capitalized in February.
Can someone help me with step-by-step details to create this key?
I appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Shalu

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.

Inactivate Depreciation Key

Hi,
I tried to inactivate Depreciation Key through AFAMA but status field is in Grey. Please guide how to do it.
Regards,
VS

You might want to do the following.
1. If you have already assigned the depreciation key in a depreciation area, then first, you would have to delete the depreciation key from such a depreciation area.
2. Make note of how the depreciation key is defined. Only do this if it is a SAP standard depreciation key. There is no need to make a note of it if you who defined the depreciation key in question.
3. Delete the depreciation key in AFAMA.
4. Re-create the depreciation key but do not activate it this time round. However, if it was your own defined depreciation key, then again there is no need recreating it.
Hope this help resolve your issue.

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

Transfer assets from one asset class to another having different depreciation keys.

Hi Gurus,
     I am a noob in FICO, and I am facing a problem while transferring assets from one asset class to another.
Below is the scenario.
I created two assets 100000000000-0 under asset class 4690a and 200000000000-0 under asset class 4690b. And I am trying to transfer the
asset from class 4690b to 4690a by selecting the option ‘New Asset’ in the transaction ABUMN. While doing this, I am receiving an error message as below.
'Posting with trans. type 300 not possible (No acquisition posted).'
     Message No. AA324.
Diagnosis:
     Transaction type 300 belongs to a transaction type group, which can only be used to post to assets to which posting has already been performed. However, no postings have been made to this asset.
Procedure:
     Use a transaction type from a transactio type group, which can be used for the first acquisition to an asset.
The error is related to the transaction type which I hadn’t explicitly created anywhere. But, when checked in transaction AO76, the transaction type 300 belongs to the transaction type group 30. In this group I am not able to find any solution related to the error.
Moreover, in some of the threads in SCN, I read that modifying the transaction type group might lead to something fatal.
Kindly help me in the below.
1. What exactly the error message is related with?
2. Is there any other method to transfer the asset to another class?
Please let me know if any further details are required regarding the scenario.

Hi ,
I understand that you want to transfer the old asset to new asset with different asset class with different depreciation keys and the old asset is not yet capitalized and does not have any Asset Values.
Assuming that since the First Asset is not yet capitalized, that seems to be that its just that ASset Master is created and no Asset Values appear in the Asset.(in other words no acquisition, capitalization, no dep. start etc.)..
Alternatively this asset can be advised to be blocked and flagged for deletion and create a new Asset in the new Asset Class and then capitalize the new asset by doing the acquisition according to the business process i.e. either via PO based process(GR) or Non PO based process.
The transfer of asset is required incase the old asset still have the values and you are transferring the old asset to new one with the left over values.
Also would request you to kindly share some screenshots of the AW01n of the old asset and screenshots of the AS03 to have more idea on it and provide a better solution to the same..
Warm Regards,
Vineet

Setup one depreciation key

Hi Gurus,
I have a scenario as below:
1) Define one depreciation key that allow user to specify any of the useful life during asset master data creation
2) Based of the useful life entered in the asset master data help to calculate planned/posted depreciation automatically
Instead of define all the posibility depreciation key, may I know if there is any flexible way that I could setup to cater for above scenario?
Pls advise and guide with sample example.
Thanks & regards,
Loi

Loi,
1) Define one depreciation key that allow user to specify any of the useful life during asset master data creation
    - During the creation of Asset Master data, you have the option to manually input the asset's useful life
    - If you want SAP uatomatically derive the useful life base on the asset class, you can maintain in in tcode OAYZ
      Chart of Depreciation
      Asset Class
      Depreciation Area
      Deprciation Key
      Useful life
      Period
      Layout
2) Based of the useful life entered in the asset master data help to calculate planned/posted depreciation automatically
     - the planned depreciation will be automatically calculated base on the depreciation key (straight line/declining balance) also useful life is a factor
     - Base on the planned depreciation, actual depreciation will be posted to the asset when you execute "Depreciation Run" program tcode AFABN.
Instead of define all the posibility depreciation key, may I know if there is any flexible way that I could setup to cater for above scenario?
If you have existing depreciation key that will satisfy your depreciation calculation requirement, no need to create new one.
Thanks!

Creation of Depreciation key

Dear All,
When i am creating Depreciation keys...i am giving various methods which i defined...but when i am saving
the depreciation key i am getting following warning...
1000 CA06 N 1: Percentage rate required for depreciation calculation method P
Diagnosis
You have to enter at least one percentage rate in multi-level method C06. This is required in combination with depreciation calculation method P in base method IND1.
System Response
Data is not saved.
Procedure
Use a different base method or a different multi-level method, or enter a percentage rate. The incorrect entry is in 1000 CA06 N 1 (chart of depreciation, depreciation key, depreciation type, depreciation phase).
Will there be any impact when i am doing my transactions......
Please help to resolve the issue
Sapfrido

Dear,
Sapfrido.
When you maintain P as Stated Percentage in your BASE METHOD it is need to maintained the percentage for the specified key in your Multilevel Method , So in accordance with your mentioned one criteria system will carry out depreciation calculation.
Hope this will help you to understand.
Please revert if you need clarification.

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

Custom Depreciation Key

Hi gurus,
we'd like to create a custom depreciation key which calculates a fiscal depreciation following this rule:
80% of the IAS depreciation.
We tried to use the user exit EXIT_SAPLAFAR_002 without results.
Can you please provide me any suggestions about customizing settings needed and the correct user exit to be used?
Thanks to all.
Best regards.

I've found this SAP note: 1131960. It means that there are two BADIs to use: FAA_DC_CUSTOMER and FAA_EE_CUSTOMER. The user exit EXIT_SAPLAFAR_002 has been replaced by FAA_EE_CUSTOMER->SET_PERCENT_AMOUNT method as specified by SAP note. This is the start point for my custom immplementation...
