Declining balance depreciation posting

Hi,
Has anyone setup the system to allow declining balance posting changes from month to month?
I know that SAP standard doesn't have this functionality. I can only get constant amount over allmonths in the same year, then a change every year of depreciation amount.
Has anyone tries to set it up using note 1131960?
Thanks in advance!.

Hi SR,
In your settings in ZCD, 2 represents multiplication factor, which will be multiplied with dep % calculated from total useful life.
30 represents max depreciation % for a year and 1 represents minimum depreciation %.
In your example it seems useful life is 4. So dep % is 25%, it will be multiplied with the factor 2 so it comes around 50%.
Since you restrict max dep as 30%, the dep rate will be 30% for each year.
You must have changed the ord dep start date from the first period to fifth period thats why initially it planned for 30% and once you change ord dep start date it plan for 1000*30%/12*8=200.
In year 2 & 3 depreciation is planned for 300 each.
In year 4 the balance depreciation of 200 is planned.
Hope it is clear.

Declining balance depr.key - phase 2 posting in wrong period

Hi,
I have problems with the posting of depreciation. The posting of depreciation calculated in phase 2 in the depreciation key is not posted in the period that I want.
The requirement is that during the planned useful life declining balance depreciation should be posted. In the period following directly after the end of the useful life the remaining net book value should be depreciated and posted.
An example:
Asset acquistion in october 2009: 100000
Useful life 5 years
Declining balance depreciation 25% (based on net book value)
I would like the following depreciation to be posted:
Year     APC     Depr     Net Book Value at year end
2009     100000     6250     93750      3 months (october- december)
2010          23438     70313
2011          17578     52734
2012          13184     39551
2013          9888     29663
2014          5562          9 months depreciation (january - september)
2014          24101            0     Remaining net book value depreciated in october
I have tried to achieve this by creating a depreciation key with 2 phases:
1. The first phase is the settings for the declining balance depreciation that should be posted during the useful life of the asset.
2. The second phase is the total depreciation of the remaining net book value.
I have tested and both phases individually - and they work perfectly correct.
When combining the 2 phases the depreciation of phase 2 is posted in january 2015 (not in october 2014 as expected /wanted).
The settings of the depreciation key is:
     Base     Decl. Bal     Period     Multi     Change
Phase 1     0012     001     006     005     5
Phase 2     0017     001     006     017
A copy of the standard depreciation key DE25 (for Finland) is used as a template and the phase 2 added.
All the methods allocated to the depreciation key are standard delivered SAP- except for the period control 006 which is changed to 01/01/01/01 ("01 - Pro rata at period start date").
A copy of the country template chart of depreciation for Finland (0FI) is used. I have checked the settings of the chart of depreciation and they seems to be correct.
When reading the SAP documentation I cannot find out what I am doing wrong.
In the documentation for the change over method used it is pointed out that with this change over method the switch should take place in the exact period - which is exactly what I want.
Is there anyone who have an idea I woulb be most grateful!
Regards,
Åsa

Thanks for your answer - but unfortunately it didn´t solve my problem.
We already use the settings that you suggested.

Sum of the year digit method and declining balance method

Hi,
My Client want Deprecation methods Sum of the year digit and declining balance method for tax purpose. This requirement for Colombia Country.
Which Deprecation Area I activate and how will configure above two methods.
Regards
Venki

Sum-of-the-Years-Digits Method of Depreciation
Use
For each year of the expected useful life, the system notes the remaining useful life for the assets and totals the figures in each year. In each fiscal year, the remaining life is divided by this total in order to calculate the depreciation percentage rate for that fiscal year. This method leads to depreciation amounts that are reduced progressively by the same amount each period.
Since the remaining useful life is no longer defined after the end of the planned useful life, this depreciation method does not allow for depreciation after the end of the planned life. However, you can change to another method after the expected useful life has expired.
Acquisitions after the depreciation start year or post-capitalization will necessarily lead to a positive net book value at the end of planned life. For this reason, such transactions are not allowed when using the sum-of-the-years-digits method of depreciation. With this method, you have to handle subsequent acquisitions by creating sub-numbers. It is also a requirement that the acquisition year is the same as the depreciation start year.
Calculation :
Depreciation = APC * remaining useful life (current period) / total of remaining useful life (over entire useful life)
APC: 1000
useful life: 4
Total remaining useful life: 10 (= 4 + 3 +2 +1)
Depreciation 1st year = 1000 * 4 / 10 = 400
Depreciation 2nd year = 1000 * 3 / 10 = 300
Depreciation 3rd year = 1000 * 2 / 10 = 200
Depreciation 4th year = 1000 * 1 / 10 = 100
Declining-Balance Method of Depreciation
Use
For the declining-balance method of depreciation, the fixed asset is depreciated by a progressively falling rate. A constant percentage rate is calculated from the expected useful life and a given multiplication factor. This is multiplied with the falling net book value of the fixed asset. For mathematical reasons, the net book value will never reach zero using this method. You change over to straight-line or complete depreciation under these conditions:
Declining-balance depreciation < straight-line depreciation
Net book value < x percent of acquisition value
Net book value < fixed amount
Net book value < straight-line depreciation
The changeover method is specified in the internal calculation key.
Calculation :
Depreciation = net book value * percentage rate from expected useful life and factor
APC: 1000
Exp. useful life: 10
Net book value: 700
Multiplication factor: 3
Depreciation = 700 * (100% / 10 * 3) = 210

ERROR IN DEPRECIATION POSTING

Hi!
Experts,
Can you please tell me the Number Range for Depreciation Post is External or Internal?
My problem is:
When I keep Number Range as internal, system not allow me to post the depreciation and give the following error at the time of Test Run:
Create document number range 60 using external number assignment
Message no. AA759
Diagnosis
Processing had to be terminated, since you set up the document number range 60 for the year 2007 with internal number assignment.
System response
You should create a document number range with external document numbers for periodic depreciation posting, since the document numbers are not assigned from Financial Accounting, but by the posting program of Asset Accounting. The external number assignment, therefore, should not be understood as manually entering the document number. It is only external from the point of view of the Financial Accounting application.
Procedure
Change the number range 60 from internal to external number assignment in Asset Accounting Customizing.
While
When I keep the Number Range for Depreciation as external, at that time Test run of depreciation run successfully and also show account document generate, I also check generated document by double clicking on document number in the test run and it is correct, it is also run successfully in background, but
what happen when I am going to check my accounting document of Depreciation and Acc. Depreciation, no balances shows in this a/c., while in AW01N depreciation for the period which I run is shows in green, i.e. posted.
while depreciation amount shows in to the controlling report like KSB5 & Cost Center Report.
Rakesh

Hi
Up-to version 4.6 it is external and from 4.7 internal
In the table taba you can found the last number that you used in 4.6
When you do an upgrade from 4.6 you have to change the number range to internal and fill in the last used number (is in table TABA).

Depreciation Posting to Non-Leading Ledger

In our client we have been set with the Book Depreciation posted to only Leading Ledger. And we ran the Depreciation for all the month from Jan to Aug for 2010.
Depreciation postings posted to only Leading Ledger. Now they want to post to both Leading and one more ledger. For future postings i configured to the Depreciation area to post to both these ledgers.
Is there anyway we could post the previous months Depreciation postings to other Ledger now. I have the document numbers which i need to post to Non-Leading ledger and all the details. I think posting manually through FB01L is not right method and will not allow us to do. Please advice me on this.

Hi,
check SAPNET Notes 987824, 1317485, 1455618 (T-code ABF1L). This allows you to post asset values only to non-leading ledger. Thus you can create an opening balance for your non-leading ledger.

Currency Valuation G/L Account Balance Sheet Posting F.05

Hi all,
Is there a way to post the Currency Valuation F.05 for G/L account balance sheet posting to another account than itself.
I cannot find any configuration on that, and a trace look to show that it goes back to SKA1,
SKAT & SKB1.
Open item have configuration in OBA1 and we can fix the posting where we want.
But the currency valuation for the account balance always happen to the same account.
Thank you,
Carole

Bal.sheet adj.1 in OBA1 is for that only. The GL account is for Identifying that this is FC account in case of Valuation Loss/ Gain.
Incase of realized loss or gain, it is the same GL account that has to hit in the local currency.

Problem with depreciation posting for an asset with a '0' net book value.

Hi,
I have a problem with depreciation posting on one asset. I think it should not be calculated and posted at all.
On 1st November 2010 (our Fiscal year starts on 1st November) there was acquisition posted to an asset and then it was reversed on the same day - so the net book value was '0'.
In AFAB depreciation run for April 2011 - it posted depreciatoion of 0.01 Euro, so now the book value is -0.01.
Do you know how this could have happened and what can I do to get the value of this asset back to 0?
Thank you,
Karol

Hi Murlidhar,
Thank you for your reply.
I just have one doubt - as depreciation of 0.01 Eur was posted in previous period leaving net value of asset equal to -0.01 Eur.
Shouldn't I get ritd of this asset value before I proceed with the steps you suggested?
I think it is not possible to reverse the depreciation - so I struggle to find a way to bring asset value back to zero.
Thank you,
Karol
