Depreciation Calc with SLN

Hello,
I am trying to write the depreciation calc using SLN but it is not
working. Any ideas what i am doing wrong here. Below is the
Code.
FIX("Local_Value",&BudYr,"Working","Budget","Unk_Product",
(@ATTRIBUTE("Geog_Active") and
@RELATIVE("Geography",0)),(@ATTRIBUTE("Proj_Capital") and
@RELATIVE("Project",0)),(@ATTRIBUTE("Dept_Active") and
@RELATIVE("Department",0)), (@LEVMBRS("BusinessUnit", 0)) AND
(@IDESCENDANTS("NBA_REPT_ENTITIES_TOTAL")),
@RELATIVE("SubAcct",0))
"New_Capex_Calc" (
IF
((@ISMBR(@RELATIVE("LAPWK",0))))
"New_Capex_Calc"=@SLN("New_Capex_Input", 0.00, 36, "Oct":"Sep");
ENDIF
ENDFIX;

If it is not working try fixing on a single intersection and see what is causing the problem.
Read about @SLN here.
New_Capex_Input - 0 / 36

Set up Depreciation Key with specific depreciation date

Hi Gurus,
       Our system is ERP 4.7. I am trying to set up the depreciation key with the specific depreciation date. Here is more detail; I have the tax requirement that the asset will get depreciated at 25% until 03/31/08 and 20% from 04/01/08. Is there a way that we can set up according to the requirement?
       Here is an example based on the logic. The asset is capitalized on 01/01/08 with the acquisition value, $1000. That means at 01/01/09 the accumulation depreciation will be 212.5 ( 3 month at 25% and 9 month at 20%). After 01/01/09 the asset will be depreciate with 20% until becoming $0
       I have been investigating in Multi-Level Methods, but it seem like I can define only year and period.
       If you know the solution, could you please provide with the detail how to set up?

Song

Define depreciation areas with different fiscal yr variant under 1 cod.

Hi FICO Gurus,
I am a new student in FICO, here i have a question as following, ask for help,
Does anyone know how to define depreciation areas with different fiscal year variant under one chart of depreciation?
Such as:
Book Keeping Fiscal Year Variant 1: Jun-15-2007 to Jun-14-2008, Non-Calendar Month
Tax Calculation Fiscal Year Variant 2: Jul-01-2007 to Jun-30-2008, Calendar Month
So far as I know, SAP provides Specify Different Fiscal Year Variants on Depreciation Area. But it requires the same starting date and ending date for fiscal year variants.
Right now, the scenario here is different book fiscal year variant and tax depreciation fiscal year variant with different time span.
Does Anyone know feasible and tested solutions?
Any responses will be awarded.
Thanks a lot!
Samson

I believe - and this is only my belief - (haven't tried it before) - you can define Depreciation Areas like you wanted.
Broadly, the steps to do this would be:
Create a Chart of Depreciation and create two Depreciation Areas within this for your Company.
The chart of Depreciation will be assigned to the company code level, so you are okay there.
Now create a FYV corresponding to the June 15 - June 14 depreciation year and assign these to the Company Code using the menu path:
Asset Accounting --> Valuation --> Fiscal Year --> Fiscal Year Variants --> Specify other versions on Depreciation Area Level.
Here, pick your company code and you should see both the areas assigned to it. Assign the FYV as required and then check to see if it works.
Like I mentioned before, this is only a random thought. Haven't tried this before.
Cheers.

Statistical calc with MDX question (Mode function as an excel)

Hi All,
I need to create an MDX Calc to Returns the most frequently occurring, or repetitive, value in an array or range of data.
For example, the mode of 2, 3, 3, 5, 7, 10 is 3.
In Excel I use the MODE() function but I don't know how to do this in MDX and add it as a measure in Universe.
I can't do the formula in WEBI because we have big data volume and I can't retrieve all the customers in WEBI.
We have SAP BW 7.0 and SAP BusinessObjects XI 3.1 fix pack 1.3
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
it looks like you created the entry twice so I would suggest you close on of them:
Statistical calc with MDX question (Mode function as an excel)
I don't think that those kind of statistical functions are available in MDX. you can always go to se37 and use the bapi_get_functions to see the list of supported functions.

Calculate depreciation amount with deduct memo value

Hi ! Guru
I configuration memo value amount with transaction code OAYI and How I set configuration about the system calculate depreciation amount with deduct memo value such as --> acquistition value - memo value / useful life = depreciation amount
How I can do?
thank you very much

Hi,
A) depr. Key LINR, useful liefe 5 years
1. 10.000
2. 8.000
3. 6.000
4. 4.000
5. 2.000
(If you want Scrap value 2.000)
B) You can change the useful liefe in AS02. This is no peroblem. The depr. will be new calculated for open fiscal years.

Dynamic Calc with if statements

Hello
I have a dynamically calced member who’s calculation depends on what member of another dimension the user is looking at, so in the calc we have several if statements using the @ismbr function. Our calc looks something like this:
If (@ismbr("Dim Member1") or @ismbr("Dim Member2"))
     Big Calc 1;
elseif (@ismbr("Dim Member3") or @ismbr("Dim Member4"))
     Big Calc 2;
elseif(@ismbr("Dim Member5"))
     Big Calc 3;
else
     Last Big Calc;
endif;
What we are seeing is that when we run a query that should fall through to the final else (IE the Last Big Calc;) every calculation under every if is being executed. To come to this conclusion we did the following. Each of the calculations is pretty complex and can take a bit of time to run so we replaced Big Calcs 1-3 with very simple calcs that are very fast and ran the same query again, and while the result returned was the same (IE the result of Last Big Calc) it returned 10 times faster.
I’m pretty naive about most things Essbase but I’m stuck with trying to solve this problem so I was hoping that someone might have run into something like this before or knows how I can solve it. Any insight will be very appreciated.
I’m using Essbase 9.3.1 and my cube is a BSO cube.
Thanks
David

Is it possible that the intermediate results can be put into "memo" members as a stored value, being "on call" so they don't get re-calculated as often?
This wouldn't eliminate the source of the issue, but it would return the results much faster during retrieves. The downside of course is that these values would extend the calc time, so it may not be the right answer for you.
Alternative #2: Make the final value stored, using a calc script to iterate the formulas only for the appropriate member sets, eliminating the duplicate efforts but moving the calculations away from the D-C realm.

*Depreciation reversal with conversion in Parallel Currency Dep Area*

When we creat depreciation run in version 4.6c (RABUCH00) the program performs a batch session and post depreciation entry in Company Code currency -in our case-(GBP) and parallel currency (USD) as, entry should be
posting key GL A/c                        GBP USD
75              Accumulated Depn A/c   76GBP    38USD
40              Depreciation Exp A/c      -76GBP   -38USD
entry is posted in other depreciation area (which is opted for posting) in dep area currency USD.
We are observing a issue where the entry for a particular
asset is actually posted as
posting key GL A/c                        GBP USD
70              Accumulated Depn A/c   76GBP     1USD
75              Accumulated Depn A/c -38GBP   -1USD
50              Depreciation Exp A/c     -76GBP   -1USD
40              Depreciation Exp A/c      38GBP     1USD
hence my query is
1. Why for a particular asset amounts are getting reversed.
2. Why these amounts are not converted in parallel currencies when we change GL layout of parallel currency.
SAP OSS Note No. 0000733192 RABUCH00 and parallel currencies with value 0 has relevant documentation on this topic but it fails to explain why this happens in particular asset.Can you provide any explanation ? Thanks.

Hi Hui Bin Liu,
How did you solve this?
I have that same issue right now and can't figure how to solve it.

Two depreciation areas with registration

Hi gurus,
I need help about create two depreciation areas, and both with registration.
This means that I need to register in the books the two areas. The problem appears that in the end I will have a double registration in the depreciation account. Is there any way to do this? I know about the registration of tax does not generate registration, but in this case I need it, as I can be, any ideas?
Tks
Gaston

Tks
But I still do not understand how. To be more explicit, I need is the following:
1) Depreciation Area 1: that is register to an account and a cost center
2) Depreciation Area 2: that is reguister to a different accounts from the area 1 and to another cost center
What is Concern Rules? t-code?
I havent two ledgers.

No depreciation values with depreciation run.

Good day from sunny South Africa.
It happens some monthends at my client that there is no depreciation values calculated for some assets. The client then load and post 1.00 and remove and post 1.00 to the scrap value of the relevant assets and that fixes the problem. Depreciation is then calculated with the next depreciation run. What could be the problem?
Kind regards
Marnus

Hi Marnus,
sounds strange, and maybe my first impression seems a little bit too easy. But anyhow, my impression when reading this was that the current asset values were not calculated correctly. Did you do an AFAR run or recalculate the asset values with AS02 in the past?
By posting an amount to the asset and reversing it, the posting logic triggers a new calculation of asset values implicitely.
That could be one (simple) explanation. But as Zaid already wrote, there could be several other reasons. More info could bring more light into this problem.

Markus

Calc with a rates cube

I have 2 cubes, 1 with a Local Scenario / Scenario and a rates cube that converts the numbers from Local to USD. When have one dept in the Product category that should not be converted. I have tried several things to bypass this dept but I continue to get errors. I used if statement and other statement but I can't seem to get it to work.The set-up:DataCopy Local scenario to ScenarioThenFix ("2004 Act+Dem"); CCONV "2004 Act Type"->"US Dollar";Endfix; Any help would be appreciated

Unless you switch of CCTRACK in the cfg file, you will not be able to complete this task.Set the cfg file with the CCTRACK FALSE command. Your calc script will not validate, but will run correctly once this has been changed.Hope this helpsAndy Kingwww.analitica.co.uk

How to switch back to old depreciation calc method during upgrade to ECC6.0

Hi Everyone,
We are doing a technical upgrade from 4.6C to ECC 6.0 and we have activated the enterprise extension EA-FIN via SWF5 (switch framework) to use the functionality of accrual engine, closing cockpit etc. However, activating EA-FIN has activated the new depreciation calculation method (Period based depreciation calculation) which, we do not want. We still want to continue using old depreciation method (transaction based depreciation calculation).
So, is there a customization that turns off the new depreciation calculation? Or an OSS note? I read in SDN Wiki and it said, one has to post a customer message (OSS) to SAP and they in turn provide the notes to switch back to old depreciation method and also it is mentioned that these notes are not available in service market place. Is that how it is? Had anyone got into this issue before? Please help me in this regard.
Thanks in advance,
K

You already found your answer on the Wiki:
I read in SDN Wiki and it said, one has to post a customer message (OSS) to SAP and they in turn provide the notes to switch back to old depreciation method and also it is mentioned that these notes are not available in service market place.
What is not clear about that?

Depreciation run with special period

We require 2 set of FS reports:-
1.) FS as at 14/12/2007
2.) FS as at 31/12/2007
We have use the following period to derive the the reports
1.) Period 12 (Transactions 1st - 14th Dec 2007)
2.) Period 14 ( Transactions 15th - 31st Dec 2007)
Q1.)Should Dec depreciation run on period 14?
Q2.) If yes, will the depreciation run capture the depreciation from 1st - 31st Dec 2007?
Q3.) We have tried to run Dec depreciation in period 14 but error "According to the posting cycle, you should post period 012 next."
Pls advise
1.) Steps to run Dec 2007 depreciation in order to capture the whole month depreciation.
2.) Which period to open in OB52.
Kindly assist as this is urgent. Points will be rewarded. Thank you

Dear Hari,
Thank you for the helpful points. Rewarded.
FYI, our cut off date is 14th Dec 2007. Any transactions after this date will go to period 14. In OB52, we set only period 14 open to block user from posting to other periods. Will this affect the depreciation run (given scenario where we run AFAB for period 12)?
When we run AFAB for period 12, this is the error we get:
Period 12 is not allowed
Message no. F5567
Diagnosis
The period entered (12) is different from the period calculated (14) and is also not in the interval for special periods (013 to 016).
System Response
Error.
Procedure
Correct the value entered for the posting period.
What shoud we do?

Cash Management gain/loss calcs with autooffsets turned on

Please forward any experiences with workarounds/processes for creating exchange gain/loss journal entries for foreign currency payments. Client needs Auto Offsets on, therefore, Cash Management can not create the journal entries.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Normally exchange rate gain & loss is handled within AP when you make the payment (As long as you book the payment in the system in its proper foreign payment currency).
However, with Cash Management what you might see is a bank charge in addition to the foreign payment on one statement line.
So a bank statement line might show: GBP 125
This might represent a foreign payment in AP PLUS a charge made by your bank for processing the foreign payment.
If you are also using Oracle Receivables you can set up a 'Receivables Activity' and default it to a particular GL account (e.g. a particular gain/loss account or bank charges account). Then in Cash Management you can use this Receivables Activity to book a transaction for the bank charge.
The high-level process would be as follows:
1. Manually reconcile the AP Foreign Payment to the statement line
2. (While on the same statement line) click the 'Create' button. From here you can create/book a miscellaneous transaction (using any pre-defined Receivables Activity)
The point to mention is that this is obviously not automatic. But I hope it helps.

Calc with Current and Prior Periods Data

Hi Everyone - I would like to come up with two types of calculations usingamounts from prior periods (dynamically) 1. "Net Sales" (current period) + "Net Sales"(current period - 3 months) + "Net Sales" (current period- 6 months) + "Net Sales" (current period - 9 months)i.e. If current period = June ... Net Sales Amount in June + NetSales Amount in March + Net Sales Amount in December of the yearbefore + Net Sales Amount in September of the year before. 2. Sum "Cash" for the past 12 months (current period tocurrent period - 11) In both cases, we'll need to handle getting amounts from the prioryear, as well. I can feed the "current period" in thru a sub var, yet(assuming that is the correct function, I am not sure how to set up@PRIOR with Current Period - n Periods... I appreciate your help. Grazie ...lb 

Hi David,
I'd suggest you use a Query filter (or a report filter) to retrieve only rows that match this criteria on years. Since you need two values, I may have to use the filtering operator 'in list'
Difference between those two is query filter will only retrieve to values where year = 2008 or 2009 from the datasource (so if you want to change the year values, you will have to refresh document), while report filters are active on the query output (which means that no refresh from the DB is required if you need to change values), which might bring a better experience if you need interactivity in the report. Moreover, if interactivity is important and you are working with WebI XI 3.1 SP2, you can embed these report filters into Input Control, and command the filter from a graphical widget like check boxes, to let user control which years he wants to view/ compare in the table (or chart).
Hope that helps,
David.
