Dep for an asset

we have created an asset in march 2009 in one of our company code in 2009.For this company code dep was never run in 2008.We didnt close the fiscal year too.If i want to run deo now for the new asset in march then should i first close 2008 and can i run dep directly in march or from January i should start.

Thanks Paul.So we should post unplanned dep for march 09.Because the asset is capitalised on 01.03.2009 and dep start date is also same.All the asets in this company code dep starts from march.So there is no dep to be posted in Jan and feb.
We tried to post depreciation planned dep from Jan 2009 then system says :
You can post in new year after closing previous year.
Procedure -Post to the last period in the previous year fist.
fy 2008 is closed.And there is no asset in 2008 in this company code.How do i know post dep for my new asset with dep start date 1.03.2009
please suggest.

100% dep for small assets

Hi All,
While going through the Depreciation Statement it is found that depreciation on small items (eligible for 100% Depreciation, covered under various Asset Classes ) is being calculated prorata on monthly basis.
As per the provisions of law, full depreciation at 100% should be charged irrespective of date of addition. How & where can i make the necessary correction,so that 100% depreciation is calculated in respect of small items eligible for 100% depreciation.
Regards
SAP4ME

Hello
for the first query you need to check the period controls. As i under stood system should depreciate the total value of the asset with in the same acquisition year irrespective of period.
Please check the period controls for the depreciation key.
For your second query
You need to create the (MANU) manual depreciation key.
The same depreciation key need to be assigned to all the assets for which you want to post the deprectioan manually.
Tcode for posting the manual depreciaiton: ABMA
This is manual posting system should not object whether the amount of depreciation is increased or decreased.
Please check and update.

Planned Dep not posted for retired assets

Hi ,
We are running the asset depreication everymonth end, and it was posting without any errors.
But suddenly we found that some assets which we retired have still not posted the balance depreication and it is still reflecting in Planned Depreication in AW01N for previous months.
Eg: Asset retired on 29th of a month. Depreciation was not posted for this 29 days. and this balance still lies in planned depreication even after the depreciation run.
When i try to do a repeat run it gives an error message,
depreication for Peirod...... already posted.
As we have already run the depreciation, kindly suggest what best can be done without affecting the depreciation which is posted for other assets which is correct.
Thanks & Regards
Sanjay Marathe

Dear Ramesh,
Thanks for the update, i have got once more important information on this.
The problem lies only in one asset.
When they posted the depreiciation, in the actual run it gave a warning message that
" The posted depreciation and estimated depreciation are different" . But as the user was not aware regarding the Rerun and he has posted depreciation for subsequent periods.
And now it is not allowing to do a rerun for pervious periods.
Acq date :           9/11/2004
DOC       :           9/11/2004
Retirement date : 29/05/2007
useful life :          5yrs
Dep key LINR :     SLM from remaining life to book value zero.
Depreciation to the day is checked in the Dep Key
Exp useful life 2 years 161 days as on 31st march 2006
It was migrated on 1/4/2006 to SAP.
Points will be awarded.
Thanks & Regards

How to stop Depreciation for some assets & start again.

Dear Friends,
We have a requirement where we have to stop Depreciation for some assets as they are not in use and again post depreciation when they put in use.
For ex: Asset Value is 10,000 and monthly Depreciation is 100. Asset has been depreciated for first 6 periods in year with 100 each in every month & we want to stop depreciation for coming 3 months and post depreciation when they put in use. Asset should not be depreciated when they are not in use and calculate regular 100 if we run depreciation again if we put in use. So total Depreciation of the asset for the year should be 900 (First 6 Months & last 3 months).
Please explain step by step process to do this and your kind cooperation to solve this issue is highly appreciated.
Points will be rewarded for sure if my problem solves.
Thanks & Regards,
Naveen Kumar.

Go to AS03 Asset Master/Dep tab and observe the dep key
Goto AFAMA and select that dep key and click on assignment of calculation methods
You can see last row for shutdown field and select YES
Go to asset master at AS02/Time dependent data and select shutdown check box and enter period
If shutdown check box is not available goto as03 and goto menu environment-screen layout and master data and identify the screen layout number
Go to SPRO-Financial Accounting (New)-Asset Accounting-Master Data-Screen Layout-Define Screen Layout for Asset Master Data-Define Screen Layout for Asset Master Data-
Select your screen layout and click on logical field groups and select 3 (Time dependent data) and click on field group rules and make shutdown field as optional.
This will allow you to change the shutdownfield asset master data.

Revaluate Depreciation for an asset in prior years

Hi,
I have a problem with a couple of assets. We are using 2 depreciation areas - one for statutory depreciation that is posted against GL accounts and one for fiscal purposes, which is only statistical.
For some assets the depreciation key in the alternative, fiscal depreciation area was wrong in last two fiscal years. Is it possible to reopen that old fiscal years and change the depreciation area to correct one and revaluate the depreciation only in that parallel depreciation area? If yes - which steps should i carry out in SAP? This depreciation area does not affect GL accounts posting - so I hope it is possible.
Thank you,
Karol

Hi,
If it is IT dep then i can say it will be possible but if It is Book dep also then system will post the value in FI also in previous year when you do revaluation.
use t-code OAAQ/OAAR.

Shayam

How to accout unplanned depreciation for group assets

Friends,
Unplanned depreciation is accounted for group assets few years ago.This is for special depreciation areas.
Now i would like to reverse this amount as write up unpalnned depreciation, but system is throwing eror message that: This function is not possible for group assets.
OR
The issue what we are facing is special dep areas has one cent as -ve acquisition due to which we are unable to deactivate the asset. This one cent was accounted as unplanned dep few years ago. How do we make the APC as zero when it has -ve APC in special dep areas.
pl, suggest how to go about this.
Thank
NNS

Hi,
This is not possible in the standard and this is not a from SAP intended and provided solution. Therefore I ask you to be really careful and test it bevore on a test system. (and perhaps to discuss this with your SAP consultant)
The workaround to remove the group asset from table ANLB-ANLGR from the asset could be done by creating your own program.

Tax depreciation for fixed asset in Singapore

Dear all,
One of our client in Singapore want to run tax depreciation in fixed asset module as below .
They want to run depreciation with stright line method pro rata by the year of useful life
and the depreciation will be posted only once a year at the first period of the year that acqusition.
(No matter when they acqusition the asset)
For example : if they do acqusition an asset = 300,000 S$ on any date in year 2009 with useful life 5 years,
the depreciation should be posted as below:
Depreciation per year = 300,000/5 = 60,000
31-Jan-09     Depreciation should be posted = 60,000
31-Jan-10     Depreciation should be posted = 60,000
31-Jan-11     Depreciation should be posted = 60,000
31-Jan-12     Depreciation should be posted = 60,000
31-Jan-13     Depreciation should be posted = 60,000
How shuold I can do the configuration for this requirement ?    Please kindly advise.
Mary_K

Hi Mary,
I'm from Singapore. Here's how you will configure the system.
Create a dep area for Tax depreciation. You should create new Period Control Method (AFAMP) where you will assign 06 period control to acq, add, ret, trn. 06 means start of the fiscal year.
After that, you create a "Dep Key" to assign this period control method. Then in the dep area per asset class, assign this dep key to the tax dep area.
The system will default the start of dep for tax the start of the fiscal year regardless of when it was acquired within the FY.

Stop depreciation for an Asset

Hi,
I understand when we create a asset master, the number of life years and the depreciation key are copied from the asset class it belongs to.
However, the finance side requires to pause depreciation for a asset, or they could want to stop depreciation for this asset, and how do we go about doing it? The situation now is that this asset already have depreciation posted.
I appreciate any help.
Thanks

You can use the asset shutdown functionality so you can pause the depreciation for a given period of time.
AS02 > Time dependent tab , click the asset shutdown. In case asset shutdown is not available, check spro and customise fixed asset master data.
Hope this helps.

SRM 7.0 - Can't Create a shopping cart for an Asset

Hi,
I am trying to create a SC with account assignment Asset in SRM 7.0, extended classic.
Once I change the Account Assignment Category to Asset and I search for the asset number I receive the following message.
Missing Authorization check to display master data.
The user ID has SAPALL, also communication between R3 4.7 and SRM is working fine for vendors, PO's, Confirmations, Invoices, material groups, etc....so the system users would appear to be working ok I assume.
Also, if I click the Create Asset Master button on the detailed account assignment screen it is not able to generate/retrieve an asset number as it should.
Any ideas? The account assignment configuration should be fine, it matches our production SRM 3.0 system, which has no issue with this functionality.
Thanks,
Matt

It seems that the table does not have the entries, maybe b/c we are on R3 4.7. Could you tell me what the entries are suppossed to be to allow the Asset and Cost Center lookup? The search does work for WBS element though and I don't see anything specific to WBS element in that table. In any case if you know the entries that would be great, also this table is not modifiable via SM30, here are the entries that I have in that table.

GR/IR Clearing Account for Material & Asset

Hi,
We want to maintain different GR/IR Clearing Account for Materials & Assets.
Pls. guide.
Regards,

Hi
In case of asset - we define account determination in asset master which is like stock account for material. But if you use purchase order then for asset you use account assignment category as A - it means it is like account assigned purchase order. So all goods reciept credit on these POs will go to GR/IR account created without valuation class. Same time if you donot maintain service masters then goods receipt will go to same account (no valuation class). So either you need to define service materials or use same account for both.
Thanks

Dear all,
Excise accounting document is not generated for imported asset goods receipt(MIGO)
but "C" Register part 2 no. is generated,usual accounting document is generated for GR,
Asset is Dr to GR/IR
Process is
1. Create asset purchase order with acct. assignment "A",
2. Customs miro based on p.o.
3. Do GR with excise
4. Post invoice for orginal vendor.
What will be cause of this problem ?
How to solve this issue ?

The above issue may be due to Accout assignmnet -A . Check your accout assignment in spro -mm-purchasing -accout assignment - Asset A - GR Non valuated has Ticked on . If it is ticked on - No Fi entry will happen at the Time of GR .
The reason being , if an FI entry happen for the first time , asset is capitalised . To avoid this GR is made in ur config as this .
rewdzzzz is full if correct

Error occured while doing depreciation for an asset

Hi,
I could running the depreciation for an asset in AFAB t-code.
The msg is ""Testrun Completed successfully" and "No document were created for this run". I have purchased the asset for the month of April and wanted to run the depreciation for that month.
Please Advice.
Thanks
Bnoy

Dear Bnoy,
If you look at the message itself saying Testrun completed successfully. So mean you are runnning depreciation posting program in TEST RUN mode, so it is understood not to post any document in system in real time and if any error occurs must show in simulation mode.
If you dont found any error in TEST RUN, next running time remove TEST RUN and execute the same again, here at this time system will post the document and asset explorer will get updated with posted values.
I hope this will help you to understand depreciation posting functionality, and you will be able to overcome the facing issue.
If you have any doubts feel free to share, you are welcome !

Pankaj A Bhalerao.
