Dep. Posting

Hi Friends,
I have a requirement. If I purchase an asset for USD 100 then system should calculate the dep. as per below given. Only first year 25% special depreciation.
01st Year: 25% of USD 100 = 25
20% of USD 75 = 15/ 40
02nd Year: 20% of USD 60 = 12
03rd Year: 20% of USD 48 = 9.6
usually we follow SLM for dep. calculation but for this requiremnt which dep.method we have to use to overcome this problem?
Thanks in adv.

Hi
As it's clear from your requirement that, depreciation will be calculated on the written down value, you have to use WDV method of calculation.
And for maintaing two rates in a single key, you can define the same in multilevel method of defining rate.

Report with monthwise dep posted for assets

User needs a report which shows depreciation posted for each month for an asset (not the asset explorer).Is there any standard report.
If I have create a report with SAP query,I cant find where I could get the period wise mentioned.Ordinary dep posted field ANLCV-NAFA-GEB is there but how do I get it period wise.Is it feasible thru SAP Query report or an ABAP report can do.
Please advice.

Hi,
in the FI-AA menu you can find 2 reports showing posted depreciation period wise. They are based on table ANLP (= period depreciation) and show the posted depreciation. Hence you can only report on periods which have been posted.
If you need also a simulation of period depreciation (for open or future years), you can use the depreciation simulation report (RASIMU02), which has an option "monthly" reporting.
Finally you could also use the FI-AA standard BI delta extraction functionality, to report on this in a BI environment.

Post the difference depreciation manually by using TCode ABAA and correct the depreciation rate in current in the Dep key. To post the manual unplanned depreciation you need to to enter GL account for unplanned depreciation at TCode AO90/Depreciation folder

Dep Posting..."you should post period 001 next"

Hi,
I have a company code in which we are posting depreciation for the first time. I am running period 9 and it gives me the error "According to posting cycle, you should post period 001 next".
Anyone know how to directly calcuate for period 9 instead of running for all periods.
Is there some way...
thanks,
JR

You are not providing enough information. Did you just do a legacy system takeover and are beginning in production? Did you do an upgrade? Are you "playing" in a test/QA environment and want to caught up. What is it that you are actually doing/trying to accomplish?
If while executing AFAB you choose an "unplanned" depreciation run the system <b>will post planned depreciation</b> up to the current period. In production if you went live with FI/GL as of period 01 then you should run depreciation since period 01 up to the current period (one by one). Remember that asset accounting is a subledger of the GL and should be kept in sync. However, that may not possible if your FI periods are already closed and the FI folks will not reopen the posting periods in FI for the previous periods. Keep in mind that a depreciation run posts in the GL therefore the FI period must be open.

Ordinary dep posted

Dear all,
can anyone say what is the difference between accumulated depreciation & ordinary depreciation posted?
Thanks & regards,

Hi Ar,
Accumated depreciation is the total depreciation of particular asset from the date of acqustion.
Depreciaton posted relates to depreciation posted in this year.

Hi Deepanshu,
Also the FI period is also closed 2013 so in this case do i need to open the same , correct? for running dep posting along with OAAQ opening for AA.
Or the note implementation will take care all. instead of running dep , opening closed period.
pls suggest.

Unplanned depreciation Posting

Dear All,
My client is following Jan -Dec.
1.They have captilized asset on 31.12.2006 but for 2007 they have not calculated any depreciation on that asset ( wrongly they have specified Dep start date 01.12.2007) they want to charge the depreciation for 2007 for that asset from Jan to december. Does by changing the Dep start date (01.01.2007)the system will calculate the dep fom jan to dec and post when AFAB is executed for 12 period( total amount of dep for 12 periods is posted ). Or we need to run dep for each period seperately.
2. Due to audit adjustment they want to charge the unplanned depreciation for one Asset which is captilized in previous year,where the Depreciation key is automatic .We tried to use ABAA transaction type 640 and system is prompting message " Dep are 01 allowed Unplaned dep posting is Zero"
-change the Depreciation key?
while charging the Unplanned dep do we need to change the DEp key to "MANU".
Please assit.
Thanks
Stephen

Hi
Change the Dep Key - MANU and post the dep manually thru ABMA.

Not posted depreciation for an fixed asset

Dear SAP Guru's,
I have the following situation at my company:
I have an asset where the first APC value was posted in year 2000. The useful life for this asset was 3 years.
That means in 2003, the asset was fully depreciated.
The problem is that in 2004 it was made again an APC posting on this asset, but nobody has seen that the useful life still ended. Therefore this amount was never planned for depreciation and as consequence it was never depreciated.
Now the problem is that the financial department wanted to retire this asset but they received the error message that they can not retire the asset because there is still value on the asset.
Which options do I have in this case to be able to plan and post the whole remaining depreciation in this month (31.11.2010) in order to do after wards the retirement?
Thanks,
Best regards,
Melitta

Hi Melitta
1. Do an un-planned dep posting or
2. Better and simpler option would be do ABSO using Transaction type 101... You can enter a P&L account of your choice (Which will be Debited) and asset will be receiving the off set posting

Asset Value Date - Wrong posting

Dear All,
Company code is on live, Assets legacy data taken as on 31st-March-09.
Later we find that some of the assets [new purchases, in previous fiscal year (2008)] was not posted.
For that recently we posted that transactions F-90 using posting date is current date and document date is Actual acquisition date.
Due to document date in previous fiscal year system taten posting date as asset value date.   So, depreciation posting missing for previous year.
I need your help. How can I rectify this???
Other than reversing the existing posting, what is the scenario????????
Thanx
Regards
partha

Hi,
In order to post ,post capitalization please closed the previous asset accounting year.In ABNAN T.Code screen please update the original val date field with the date of the previous year from where you need to start calculating the dep. Doc date and posting date should be of the current FY.Also check T.Code Ao90 for updating the field Revenue from post capitalization with proper GL Account.
If your statutory audit for 2008-09 is not yet completed then you can think about T.Code AS91.While using T.Code ABNAN the following line items are generated.
Asset        dr
Acc Dep         cr
Rev form post capitalization cr
The system will only calculate dep of previous year.For the current year dep which are yet to be posted will be posted in the next schedule dep posting run.
Thanks

Country specific Dep Area

Hi All,
If there are two depreciation areas say 01 and 10 and 01 dep. area is my Book Dep area and 10 dep area is my country dep area.
So now when i run the dep posting, should the dep be posted to both the dep areas.
I am aware of how to configure this technically, but i need to understand the process - how do we post the dep in the country specific dep area.
Thanks and regards,
Ankur

Hi
As SAP only one depreciation area can be real (posting) and other depreciation area are normally for reporting purpose. But, we ca have a derived depreciation area which is deemed as real depreciation are which can be posted.
Like
Dep - 01
Dep - 10
Derived depreciation is suppose 51 which (DA-01 less DA-10)
In this case you can deem depreciation area 51 as country specific depreciation area.
Thanks

Dep number range issue (External Assignement)

Dear All,
i am getting error wile posting Dep (AFAB) for external number range assignment for Document type AF (Dep Posting in Current Year, but in last year it get posted with internal number range only)
See the error.
Create document number range 03 using external number assignment
Message no. AA759
Diagnosis
Processing had to be terminated, since you set up the document number range 03 for the year 2011 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 03 from internal to external number assignment in Asset Accounting Customizing.
Why system is behaving like this. It should be internal number range as i post the Dep in other clients and it is working properly with internal number range.
Kindly Suggest
Regards,
Shayam

Hi
SAP itself contradicting his own statement.
When i create external number range assignment in one of the other client system show me the message.
Create document number range 04 using internal number assignment
Message no. AA776
Diagnosis
Processing terminated because the document number range 04 for year 2011 was set up with external number assignment.
System Response
For periodic posting of depreciation, you have to create a document number range with internal number assignment, since the document numbers are assigned from Financial Accounting.
Procedure
Change the number assignment for the number range 04 from external to internal in Customizing for Asset Accounting. See SAP Note 890976 for more information.
Now what to do kindly advice.

Regarding dep

tell me that while creating asset master from as91 ,i put the ord.dep amt in take over value page in ord. dep. post value field and acquisition value in transaction page and using TT 020 and i put the value in book dep. column.

But when we see the bottom line of dep peridic view it shows the legacy data trf. value that i had posted but i when i try to post that value through AFAB then it doesnot being post to gl.
guide me.
if u have the email then i can send u the scr shot of asset that i had created and give me the suggestion that how can we post the dep. amt.

Hi,
Please check this -
SPRO-> FI> AA->Asset data transfer-->Parameters for data transfer -> Date specifications->
SAP text for the settings
1) Specify Transfer Date/Last Closed Fiscal Year
In this step, you determine the transfer date for the asset data transfer. This date determines the status of posting to be used for the transfer (posting up to this date will be included in the transfer), not the actual date the data transfer is carried out. This specification also determines whether you want to perform the transfer during the fiscal year (with transfer of posted transactions/depreciation in the current fiscal year) or at the end of the fiscal year (without transactions).
If the transfer date is not the last day of the fiscal year (according to the fiscal year variant in FI), the system interprets this as transfer during the fiscal year. The system cannot transfer any historical transactions. It can only transfer cumulative values from the end of the last fiscal year, and the transactions in the current fiscal year (the second is only possible for transfer during the fiscal year).
Example
transfer date = December 31, 1997
=> last closed fiscal year = 1997
Activities
Specify the transfer date for each company code.
Further notes
SAP library FI-AA: Asset Data Transfer -> Time of Transfer
2)Specify Last Period Posted in Prv.System (Transf.During FY)
The following step is only necessary if you want to perform an old assets data takeover during the fiscal year. In this case, you must specify the period up to which depreciation was posted in the previous system. This period refers to the posted depreciation that is to be transferred during old assets data takeover.
Activities
Specify the period up to which depreciation was posted in the previous system.
I hope you could resolve now.

Murali

500000 account in September.
Please find attached a breakdown of the values. Can you
please advise how to resolve the YTD GL balance for tax
depreciation expense so it is correct and reconciles to the
movement in the accumulated depreciation accounts.

How to reverse the Depreciation for the excess amount posted?

Hi Gurus,
We have uploaded the data last month from legacy system to SAP as below.
The Fiscal year is Jan - Dec and gone live on June 28th 2009.
Accumulated Depreciation was taken till Dec 2008.
Ordinary Depreciation was taken from Jan 2009 to June 2009.
But Ordinary depreciation is not up to date in SAP as the user miss out the 2 months depreciation for each Asset but this was already posted in legacy system. All the GL Balances have been uploaded as per the legacy system. Now system is taking the previous 2 months Depreciation along with the current month. If we run the Depreciation for the current month, the system will post excess amount as it includes previous 2 months Depreciation.
Can any one kindly suggest the process to reverse the excess amount after Depreciation posted for the current month?
Thanks much for the help.
Early responses will be appreciated.
Best Regards,
JBC

HI
Few clarifications-
1. you have posted two months dep in legacy , have you transferred that dep amount wth the ordinary dep transferred from jan to june?
If yes, that means your last posted dep month is june and accordingly you have to set the last period (6) in the SPRO for asset data transfer specifications, so system will start calculating dep from the 7th period only and will not recalculate dep for last two months.Check the last posted period mentioned in SPRO.
2.If you have uploaded wrongly your ordinary dep for current year , then that means your Asset accounting opening balance (migrated balance ) is not matching with your Trial GL upload as well, so you need to correct your asset accounting opening balances.
For this you need to reset your company code status from 0 to blank ( tset data always allowed for asset data transfer). And then correct the values for current year ordinary dep posted from jan to june, also check the last posted dep period as above.
3.However you may post writeup ttype 700 to adjust the excess dep posted by any reason, you can extract last two months dep posted values asset wise from legacy system if already posted, and post the writeups for the same value in current period using LSMW.
Cheers
Mukta
