Depreciation calculation-AFAB

Hello,
Dep start date : 25.09.2008
Asset aquisition : 29-.09.2008
Dep rate : 10%
While running AFAB, why system is calculating from 1 period i.e., Apr (Fiscal year is 2008) onwards. Dep should be calculated from 6 period i.e., Sep onwards.
And how Acc dep will be closed? at the year end shall we pass a JV like
Acc Dep A/c Dr
To Asse A/c
Can anybody pl let me know the logic behind this?
Regards
anifi

Hi Anifi,
See the help behind Smooting
If you set this indicator, the depreciation posting program calculates the periodic depreciation to be posted by distributing the remaining depreciation to be posted equally over the remaining periods of the fiscal year.
Otherwise the system calculates in each period (based on the total annual depreciation) the amount of depreciation that must be posted from the start of the fiscal year to the current period. The depreciation already posted is then subtracted from this amount. If too little or too much depreciation has been posted in previous periods, the system either makes up or reverses the difference in full during the next depreciation posting run using the catch-up method (depreciation for past periods in a lump sum).
When you use 1 month depreciaton for an asset, the depreciation is not in 1 Month but split over the fiscal year

  • Indian Income Tax Depreciation Calculation

    Hi
    Can any of you please explain/tell me where are the exact SAP configuration settings for the calculation of depreciation calculation as per Indian Income Tax Act by meeting below requirements as per Section 32 of Indian Income Tax Act:
    1. If the Asset is being purchased and used in a Financial Year for 180 Days or below 180 Days  -  Depreciation has to be calculated 50% of Annual Depreciation.
    2.If the Asset is being purchased and used in a Financial Year for more than  180 Days   -  Depreciation has to be calculated 100% of Annual Depreciation.
    Waiting for your valuable reply.
    Thanks and Regards
    P.V.S.R.Gupta

    But if I follow your suggestion of taking Period Control Method 04, it would calculate 1/2 Year Depreciaton only
    No.  If the asset is in use for >180 days, then it's acquisition date must therefore occur in periods 1-6 which will set the depreciation start date to the beginning of the year.  This will result in a full year's worth of depreciation.
    If the asset is in use for <180 days then the start date is set to mid year which results in only 6 months worth of depreciation to be posted. 
    All of this can be adjusted per your FYV and on a yearly basis if the FYV is year dependent in the asset period control calendar assignments table. 
    I'll be the first to admit that I don't know the statutory requirements of India but I know how FI-AA works and can't think of an alternative solution for you.

  • Depreciation calculation for Indian Tax Depreciation Area - Fixed Assets

    Can any one of you kindly advice how to setup the Multi levels methods and Period controls for Tax Depreciation key in Indian Tax Depreciation area.
    My Leading ledger Fiscal year: Jan u2013 Dec (Year dependend)
    And Non-leading ledger (India) Fiscal year: April u2013 March (Year dependend)
    I was able to post correct depreciation for leading and non-leading ledger Depreciation areas with a stated percentage. But the calculation of Tax depreciation area is incorrect.
    As per client requirement, Tax depreciation area is setup only reporting purpose and no Depreciation posting.
    Required Depreciation Calculation for Tax Depreciation Area:
    For Acquires & Additions,
    Rule1:
    If it is >=180 days (as per Non-leading ledger Fiscal year) the system should calculate depreciation as stated percentage. Eg: 10%
    Rule2:
    If it is <180 days (as per Non-leading ledger Fiscal year) the system should calculate depreciation of 50% on stated percentage. Eg: Stated percentage is 10%, then it should be 5%.

  • Tax depreciation calculation - India

    Hi,
    For calculating Tax depreciation for India, we use group assets in asset master (dep area 15).
    SAP standard report J1IQ is obsolete and can not be used.
    How to calculate tax depreciation for India.
    Requirement for India tax depreciation is :
    An asset is put to use  < 180 days, depreciation will be 50% of the depreciation rate for that asset (say dep rate is 15%, depreciation will be 7.5% of the asset value.
    If asset is put to use > 180 days, depreciation will be 100% of the depreciation rate for that asset (say dep rate is 15%, depreciation will be 15% of the asset value).
    J1IQ is obsolete. 
    Most of the consultants are facing this problem.
    What is the solution???????????

    Dear Nagesha,
    Please note that J1INQ is NOT in use and this report has been withdrawn by SAP.

  • Config of Group assets - Tax Depreciation Calculation : India

    Dear Seniors,
    can you please explain the configuration of the Group assets and how exactly the tax depreciation calculation in India happens for the individual assets with scheme of entries.
    Thanks and Regards
    Sathish

    Hi,
    In India, depreciation on assets for the purpose of computation of net income as per the Income Tax (IT) Act 1961 is calculated over a block of assets instead of individual assets as allowed under the Companies Act 1956. Asset acquisitions and retirements are managed over the block level. The IT Act prescribes certain rates of depreciation to be used under the Written down Value (WDV) method over these asset blocks to compute depreciation.
    The following are the customization settings that may be followed in the R/3 system in order to manage your assets in the income tax depreciation area.
    1. Copy the standard chart of depreciation 0IN as provided by SAP and create your own chart of depreciation.
    2. Use the depreciation area 15 for the purpose of management of assets under the IT Act. Make it statistical in nature. (Reference Transaction Code: OADB). Do not check the box negative net book value.
    3. Specify that the Income Tax depreciation area takes over the APC from the book but not make it identical (Reference Transaction Code: OABC).
    4. Create an asset class for the purpose of income tax blocks. This asset class will be used to create only group assets. (Reference Transaction Code:  OAOA)
    5. Specify that the depreciation area for income tax can be managed only for group assets. (Reference Transaction Code: OAYM). This would mean that depreciation for this depreciation area would be computed only at group asset level.
    6. Specify that the asset class defined in (b) above will be used for creating group assets only. (Reference Transaction Code: OAAX)
    7. Two period control methods (IT and NL) have been defined in the system for determination of start or the end of depreciation calculation at the time of a fixed asset acquisition or retirement. You may use these period control methods while creating the depreciation keys for the purpose of IT depreciation.
    Calendar assignments have been made for the above mentioned period control methods in order to reflect valuation requirements as per the Income Tax Act (Transaction Code: OAVH). You may create your own period control methods depending on the fiscal year variant you use. The period control methods supplied are based on the fiscal year variant V3.
    8. Depreciation Keys: The following depreciation keys have been created in the system. They correspond to the income tax blocks that are prescribed under Indian tax laws. They are as below:
    Depreciation Keys:
    1. IN1 - Tax Depreciation - 5% -
    I Hope it will give you some basic guidance.

  • Wrong depreciation calculated for base value 04 + EA-FIN activated

    Hi,
    after activating EA-FIN, depreciation for assets using base value 04 (= half of replacement value) is calculated wrong.
    While AW01 for a particular asset shows depreciation values based on the FULL replacement value (like it would be base value 03) AW01_AFAR (the u201Coldu201D asset explorer) shows the correct depreciation for base value 04.
    The wrong base value can also be seen using the "display depreciation calculation" button in both transactions.
    There are no enhancements for base value determination active.
    I didnu2019t find any SAPNET notes nor SCN entries regarding this case, any ideas?
    Best regards, Christian

    For what it's worth, I did a search and didn't find anything either. 
    It sounds like you've already tried this, but if the base value (the actual $$ value) is different in the trace on both tcodes then you have a problem.  I would be sure to recalculate the values when you enter AW01 and AW01_AFAR to ensure that it's correct before looking at the trace.
    The formula for the replacement value is: 
    ( u_ganlc-kansw + u_ganlc-answl +
                   u_ganlc-kmafa + u_ganlc-mafav + u_ganlc-zusma +
                   u_ganlc-mafam + u_ganlc-mafal +
                   u_ganlc-kaufw + u_ganlc-aufwv +
                   u_ganlc-aufwp + u_ganlc-aufwl ) / 2 .
    I'd look at ANLC for the asset and do the calculation yourself to confirm the value. 
    You've probably done all of that so I predict an OSS message in your future !

  • Depreciation calculated wrongly

    Hi guru's,
        we are using SLM method and given 33.33% dep.but system calculating 33.2895% for this depreciation amount not matching with user file.any one tell me why this happen?
    Thanks
    Ravi

    Hi
    The system calculates the Depreciation based on the Useful Life.
    As said by you , the system is calculating as 33.2895% , you want it to calculate it as 33.33%.
    In Configuration Activate the Rounding for Depreciation Calculation , then you will get the desired.

    I need to have the depreciation posted to have my balances accurate, Please help me gurus.

    Hi
    Have u done the acquisition posting for the year 2009? please check.
    I was encoutering the same problem (depreciation run results - no records selected - eventhough there are no errors), but when i did F-90 acq.posting for the asset created, I was encontered with error" You cannot post to asset in company code fiscal year 2009" - diagnosis: "A fiscal year change has not yet been performed in Asset accounting for the company code"
    Then I run AJRW - Asset fiscal year change with year 2009 - removing Test run - after that I executed AFAB - depreciation run , system responded with posting details , hence I could post depreciation successfuly.
    Hence please try the below:
    1. check with posting F-90 with asset created in year 2009 - ensure the above error..
    2. If system insists for a asset acct year change, do with AJRW
    3. run AFAB

  • Depreciation calculation

    Dear All,
    Our depreciation policy is to depreciate asset from the day of purchase till the day of sale (day of disposal is also included).We are following daily convention basis for 365 days i.e the depreciation is calculated on daily basis with straigh line method.Now we are facing issue system is not calculating the depreciation on the day of disposal otherwise all depreciation calculation is correct please suggest in this regard.
    Regards
    Naveed

    The problem with the @SLN function is that it only works across the dimension tagged as "Time". Planning apps typically have a separate year and period dimension, so this function doesn't help us much. You basically have to create your own depreciation calculation.
    To do this, create a moving sum using the @MOVSUMX function (using the TRAILSUM option). Then divide this moving sum with the depreciable periods (which will obviously vary by asset class).
    You can only do this for "new" assets. Most fixed assets systems can feed you the projected (future) depreciation on "existing" assets. Then you can add your depreciation on new assets (that you've just calculated) to your depreciation to existing assets to get total depreciation.
    Hope this helps,

  • Day Wise Depreciation Calculation Issue

    Hi Team,
    I have an issue regarding day wise depreciation calculation. I have selected Dep for the Day check box and it is calculating day wise depreciation but here it is taking as 366 days for base it should be 365 days (2011 is we have only 365 days) do ineed to change any settings from Asset accounting side? Entire year wise depreciation is correct but if i see month wise there is small difference due to 366 days. How can i control this setting?
    Regards,

    Hi,
    2012 is a leap year.  Therefore 366 days.
