Depreciation change uselife

Hello friends,
I changed asset master(Depreciation area > uselife : 1year -> 4year).
I expected to be recalculated from undepreciated month(2010/06) to
the rest of uselife.
However the values depreciation was planned from fiscal year 2009.
Of course, posting period 2009 is closed. What is the problem and how
can I solve it?
Please let me know the way.
Thank you for reading.

The correction on depreciation posted in 2009 you have to post with:
ABZU - Write-Up
SAP will correct in the depreciation run from June the depreciation difference from January to May.

Ordinary depreciation changed in repeat run

Hi Gurus,
We posted some unplanned depreciation in march 2010. and did afab in repeat run for period 12.
System posted unplanned depreciation but in some assets ordinary depreciation is also changed. After analysing one of
the asset i come to know that difference posted to ordinary depreciation is due to follows
Previously depreciation was calculated on days basis for example (depreciartion start date is 01/02/2010) system calculated depreciation for 28 days out of 365 days.
In repeat run system calculated depreciation for 2 month i.e for 2 month out of 12 month.
Hence in repeat run deprcaition amount is changed by the diffrece amout.
I checked the depreciation key of an asset it is not changed nor any field in depreciation key like based method, decl bal method,
prd control, multilev method, class ,changed method ,multiple shift , scrap value is changed.
Unable to know why ord dep has changed? which field in dep key can result in said chage?
Please help
Regards,
Shekhar

Hi,
The normal behaviou of unplanned depreciation run posting is, it will not affect normal periodical depreciation.
If the NBV became zero or less than normal depreciation value, then there is a chance of difference in normal depreciation posting. Please check the NBV of the asset.

Hi
In ABUMN - Tab Additional Details - You need to choose the proper transfer variant...
if you choose Net Method - I think it would transfer @ 22500
In the New asset master - choose a dep key which is based on Useful life....

Planned Depreciation Changed - Recalculation of Depreciation

When we are displaying any asset through AS03 system shows message " value of Ordinary deprec. have changed in dep. area 01 in fiscal year 2009 for all the assets.
If we click on the message system shows following diagnosis
Values for Ordinary deprec. have changed in dep. area 01 in fiscal year 2009Message no. AU390
Diagnosis
Depreciation terms were changed in depreciation area 01 since the last time depreciation was recalculated. The values for Ordinary deprec. that were saved in the database in fiscal year 2009 are therefore different from the newly calculated values by an amount of                                               22.33-.
Procedure
Check if the newly calculated values are correct. If they are, then carry out a depreciation recalculation. You should be aware that if you recalculate depreciation, new values could arise for all open fiscal years, and these would then have to be posted to the general ledger by means of a depreciation posting run.
If, on the other hand, you want to keep the values that are saved in the database, you have to set the depreciation terms back to how they were at the time of the last depreciation recalculation.
To see a comparison of the old and new values, you can use the Display dep. calc. function in the asset value display or the Recalculate values function in the Asset Accounting menu.
            Proceed
And if we click on Proceed system take us to transaction recalculation of depreciation (t-code AFAR).
As per the diagnosis given in the message depreciation is recalculated whereas we have not run recalculation of depreciation (AFAR) but we have changed the useful life of Asset Class 2260 & 2265 from 12 to 10 years. and transferred few assets within company code by transaction code ABUMN. Is this happening because of that ?.
We are surprised that till last depreciation run (period 5) business were not getting any such type of message and from period 5 onward system started showing this message.
I was just checking planned depreciation for F.Y. 2009 of few assets and found that depreciation is not calculating properly.
I have run AFAR in test mode and taken list of recalculated assets and also checked the recalculated depreciation manually and found that depreciation is calculated properly. Now we want to run AFAR in final mode but before moving ahead we want take concern from asset expert that we are going on right track or which another steps to be taken to resolve the same.
One more thing I have noticed that if we run AFAR from F.Y. 2008 in test mode when F.Y. 2008 is closed system shows message "Error in Dep. Calculation" for all the assets related to F.Y. 2008 and before and when we open F.Y. 2008 and run AFAR again in test mode then system shows message   "Error in Dep. Calculation" only few AUC assets.

Hi Paul,
Thanks for quick response.
I have ran AFAR in test mode in F.Y. 2009 when F.Y. 2008 is closed and checked that deprecation is calculating properly but the assets pertaining to F.Y. 2008 and there before are showing in error "Error in Dep. Calculation. I have ran AFAR in testing box by opening F.Y. 2008 and seen that system is not showing any error.
Now my question is, if i will open F.Y. 2008 in production system and run AFAR and repeat deprecation run for recent period what will be the impact in last F.Y. 2008.
Thanks,
Vishwa Dikondwar

Depreciation change of rate

Hi Gurus,
There are various assets costing less than 5000which are capitalised and 5% is claimed in the previous year.
Current year these are standing as opening balances and normal depreciation claimed till june.
Now the company has decided to claim 100% depreciation as at 30th june.
There is a dep key for 100%.
How to go about it.
Is it possible to change the depreciation key, if so how?
How to charge entire written down value as at 30th june on the june end itself.
Useful answer will be assigned with points.
Regards
SAP Only

Hi,
Before changing the Key as advised by others, make sure that the previous year is closed in AA, otherwise the change to the key will effect the prior year.
Alternativly Copy the existing key, then add "Manual Changeover" & second phase as immediate write-off. Use this key in the assets and set the changeover year as the current year. This avoids possible complications in case the prior year is ever reopened/can't be closed yet.
Kind regards

Depreciation % Change

In our case, we have to chage the depreciation % of one asset class. Now already depreciation has been posted for the last three periods. If I change the % now, can I repeat the depreciation posting for all the last three periods ?

hi
pdepending on the method you choose 'catchup' or 'smothing' , the depreciation for the future periods would changed.
in the smoothing , the depreciation would be distributed across the useful life of the assets .
in the catchup, the excess depreciation would be charged upfront in the next period and the remaining periods shall get calcuated accordingly,

Calculated Re depreciation for an asset

Hi,
Please help me in solving the below issue,
The unplanned depreciation was been charged in the month of December for the fiscal year 2010 and it has been reversed. I want to charge the depreciation once again for the same asset but it should not get effected in the FI.

Hi Binoy
From accounting point of view, if depreciation changed in sub ledge, fixed asset accounting, the changes shall be reflected in GL. What I am talking about is that we can control the changes effecting in previous year or current year due to whatever reason, e.g. previous year has been closed and audited etc.
If you are in above situation, then you can choose re-open previous year 2010 and repost the unplanned depreciation or judge the depreciation in 2011 even it happened in 2010 by using T-cd:ABZU.
Hope itu2019s helpful.

Different Settlement Across Depreciation Areas

Hello Experts.
Does anyone know if the following is possible:
- Within depreciation area XX I would like to capitalise to an AUC. Costs may sit within the AUC for a long period of time (up to 2 years) without depreciation.
- Within depreciation area YY i would like to capaltise direct to a Fixed Asset and commence depreciation immediately.
The asset initially should exist only in GL accounts specific to area YY.
When subsequent settlement is run a further asset should be created specific to the accounts in XX.
I cannot consider the option of creating the asset in both areas and simply not running depreciation in XX. My client has an important requirement to mantain the asset as AUC within XX but also charge depreciation in YY.
Any help or comments would be greatly appreciated
Regards
Ronan.

you post the values to book depreciation area.
remaining depreciaton areas get the acquisition value from the book depreciation.

Adjust the depreciation amount in posted period

Hi Experts,
I've changed one of my asset depreciation key from 20% to 10% straight line method. The changes is done in period 6. I have run AFAR for this changes.
Let say my planned depreciation was 1000 (for 20% dep. key) and now the new depreciation would be 500 (for 10% dep key). I would like the depreciation to be recalculate in period 1 (i.e 1000 minus 500) and distribute the amount evenly throughout the period (period 1 to 6). Is it possible?
I've run AFAB in planned mode and the changes (lump sum) will only take places on next period (period 7). When i execute AFAB in restart mode (period 1), the error says restart is not possible for period 1.
Appreciate your advise.

Hi Nana,
Have a look also at KBA 1534331 - RAPOST2000 - How to post 'planned depreciation' for
subsequent posting or depreciation change in same period
This knowledge base article describes the situation how the system will pick up the depreciation adjustment when a change in depreciation terms (e.g. change of depreciation key) has been made.
As Mukthar is pointing out, if you have run depreciation already (ordinary planned depreciation run in AFAB), and afterwards you make a change, you can start a repeat run for that very same period again and it will adjust the value equally to all periods going forward.
You find in this KBA also an attachment which outlines an example.
I hope this helps further in understanding how depreciation is adjusted after a change of depreciation terms.
Best regards,
Brigitte

Error when posting unplanned depreciation

Hello,
When posting an unplanned depreciation we are facing an error "In area 01 you can post manual dep upto the amount 0.00".
I checked the depreciation area and in it when for unplanned depreciation changed the setting to postive values but the error persists. I also tried all values and still the error persists. I also checked the transaction type 640 and there also if I made changes to allow postive values the error still persists.
I also want to mention that is not happening if I used another asset belonging to another asset class.
Please let me know if there is something else I am missing out.

Hi Susan,
do you have the option to reverse the transfer postings? If so, you could specify another period control for transfer postings (such as fiscal year start, etc.) in your depreciation key, with which you can influence how much depreciation is left back respectively transferred.
It is correct that you can´t post an unplanned depreciation on the sending asset now, because the net book value would go below zero. As unplanned depreciation does not influence the ordinary depreciation in the year of posting, this value below zero can not be adjusted with a reduction of planned ordinary depreciation.
I am wondering which effect you´d like to have on the sending asset. Did you post a complete retirement? If so, there should be no APC left which you can depreciate on the sending asset. And as the net book value is zero already, which effect do you want to get? You have to keep in mind that the non-depreciated APC will be continued to depreciate (normally) on the receiving asset. But maybe I misunderstood the problem here ...

Markus

180 days depreciation as per IT act

Hi,
I want to post 180 days depreciation ( Ours FSV is AP to Mar, if i acquire asset from Apr to Sep it should calculate full year depreciation and if i purchase after, it should calculate depreciation for 180 days as per IT Act, for that i've made setting in Period control, i've taken IN1 in period control, but when i create group asset and if i select the IT depreciation key, system is throwing error message, "E003 SYST: Period 000 is not valid in financial year variant", if please suggest me the possible errors behind it.
Regards,
Sudheer

Hi Sudheer,
This 180 days calculation can be done for Income tax depreciation if you provide the below details in the income tax related depreciation key
Base method: IND1
Declining Balance method: I01 to .... (whatever is available in F4 option based on rates you select)
Period control: IN1
Multi level method: M1 to M9 as provided by standard SAP
Class: 2 Declining balance depreciation
Change method: No automatic changeover
Multiple shift: 2 no effect on depreciation and useful life
Scrap value: 3 cut off value is ignored
shutdown: No
If you follow the above details in the depreciation key, then you will get that 180 days calculation. ie., from 1st april to 30th september if you capitalise any asset, your system will calculate full depreciation and from 1st october to 31st march if you capitalise any asset, you system will calculate 180 days depreciation.
Hope this helps. Assign points if useful

Recalculation of Depreciation for the previous periods

Hi All,
I am new to this forum, I have one query regarding the recalculation of depreciation.
Client wants to increase the life of the asset and depreciation change should be effected from 01/07/2010 (FY start). Depreciation has already posted from July to December 2010. We are following SLM & WDV methods.
I know we have the options like smoothing and catchup. But client wants to update/post to respective periods and in AW01N for each period it should show the depreciation as per the change in life of the asset.
It would be of great help, if you look into this matter.
Thanks in advance
Kind regards
Shanid

Hi Viswa,
Thank you for your prompt reply. I tried with your answer, when I ran AFAB with posting period 1, I am getting below error.
"You want to carry out a repeat depreciation posting run in period 001. However, the last posting run was for period 006.
Start the repeat run again using period 006".
Kind Regards
Shanid
