Depreciation Expense For Related Project Assets

Dear All,
I have a question, Please help.
How can I post depreciation expense from Oracle Asset to Oracle Project Costing for assets that working and assigned to Projects like equipments and Cars that assigned to project..... and we want to post their deprecation expense as burden in oracle project costing ????
++Please find the below my search conclusion in past few days.++
1- Oracle Say that "There is currently no interface between Oracle Assets and Oracle Projects which allows you to post depreciation expenses directly to projects."
2- I have non-complete idea: I have a project Segment in AFF so I can Post depreciation expense for related project assets to GL directly, with Project segment value and create Expenditure Batch in Oracle costing to manually enter depreciation expense as lump-sum in Oracle costing but it is not preferred to create Entries in Subledger Accounting and not send it to GL so my question in this work-around, Can I Create Expenditure Batch and only create Distributions 'PRC: Distribute Labor Costs' ???
And don't create rest steps "PRC: Generate Cost Accounting Events,PRC: Create Accounting, PRC: Transfer Journal Entries to GL"
Please suggest best solution or help me in my work-around, its urgent
Thanks in Advance
I Orouk

Kindly find the below case as example ---
There are 5 equipment like trucks and cars that working in project X100 so I want to show depreciation expense for the mentioned assets as Burden on the X100 Project in Oracle Project Costing Module..
Please Consider the below focal points:
1- Regarding Oracle Assets business Cycles. Oracle Assets send depreciation expense to GL directly and there is no any impact in Oracle Project Costing about Depreciation expense(for Project related assets )
2- Project X100
Project Cost = 10000 $
Depreciation Expense for the 5 equipment (Project related assets) = 1000 $
Real Project cost = Project Cost 10000 + Depreciation Expense for the 5 equipment 1000 = 11000 $
I want to show Real Project cost in Costing Module so I have to record Assets Depreciation Expense for the Project related assets in Oracle Project Costing .... Can you help me about what the best way to record Assets Depreciation Expense for the Project related assets in Oracle Project Costing and please review my suggestion about expenditure batch in 1st post
Thanks in Advance

Depreciation posted for the wrong asset class

Hi Experts
An asset was posted for the wrong asset class. Invoices for this asset were already posted and depreciation was posted for several months. Now we realize the mistake and want to correct it. How can we reverse the origanl documents including the depreciation and post it to the correct asset class accounts?
Thanks
Ofer

Hi Ofer,
you can transfer the depreciation to the new asset. Why you want to reverse th edepreciation?
Generally depreciation can not reversed. If you want to reverse the depreciation you can enter depr. key "0000" and make a repead run. In that case the depreciation will be reversed (posted oposite) for alle open fiscal years.

Intellisense for related projects

Hello,
I am new to the Actionscript/Flash world but I am trying to
enhance Mark Shepard's excellent SpringGraph control. I have
created a Flex Library Project for the SpringGraph control and Flex
Projects for the Demos. Intellisense works for objects within the
same project but it does not seem to work for referenced
components. Is it possible to enable Intellisense/Code Completion
for referenced libraries?
Thanks, Robin

Hi Robin,
How are you referencing the library? If you attach a Library
Project to another Flex project using the latter's Library Path
settings, you should get code completion for classes in the
library. You should also see its custom components in the
Components panel when you are in Design View.
Do the Flex projects referencing the library compile and run
properly?

Unwinding previous depreciation amounts for an asset

Hi,
We have an asset that is getting depreciated for the past few months. But now we realized that the asset should never have gotten depreciated and we unchecked the depreciation box. Is there a way to unwind all the previous depreciation amounts.
Thanks

Hello.
It does not make sense to enter depreciation for an already closed fiscal period so the deorecaition override will affect the currently open fiscal period.
If you want to completely cancel all the depreciation calculated for a certain asset you shoul enter a -ve amount, equal to the depreciation reserve, in the currently open period.After running depreciation you'll need to uncheck Depreciate flag.

After 2 years want to change depreciation key for a asset

Hi,
For a particular asset we want to change depreciation key for this asset already we have posted depreciation for 2 years. After 2 years user realizes they are using wrong depreciation key now they want to change depreciation key for a particular asset. In new financial year till now they have not posted depreciation .I just want to now what is the impact of this changes how we will adjust the value in future because previously they are calculating depreciation 1.63% now they want to calculate depreciation 3.33 % can any one tell me about the future impact of asset.
How we will adjust the value?
Thanks and Regards,
Neha

Hi,
Does your user wants to post the depreciation for closed Fiscal years?
If yes First calculate unplanned depreciation for the difference up to the last closed fiscal year and post in the current year.
Now after posting this then change the depreciation key in the asset master and in the next run the system identifies the difference between posted value with the old Key and teh correct key and adjusts the difference in the current period depreciation run.
If the user don't want to post the values of the previous years, change the key in asset master so that the difference in the depreciation from the start of the fiscal year is adjusted in the current period.
Future impact if the option is second the asset life will be more when compared to the actual life. In first case there is no effect.
Provide Business with these two solutions and they have to choose between the options.

Depreciation run for specific depreciation area

Hi,
In AA, we defined 2 depreciation area for all the assets class, one for local(01), another one for group(30). all the area will be posted to FI.
according to requirement, we would like to stop specific depreciation area depreciation run for certain asset(not asset class). this means that for depreciation area 01, it will be work, but for 30, it should be stopped. may be 3 months later, this asset will be restart run depreciation for area 30.
Would anyone know how to do that? thanks.
Ben

Hi
Hope you have to change the Config settings then.
Go to AO21 and select your screen layout and double click Field Group rules and under FG 18 you have Deactiv. area make this enrty optional and also select the check box MnNo.
Save the entry.
Come back to AS02,now the dep area will be available for deactivation.
Good Luck

Required depreciation areas for IFRS

Hi,
What are the required depreciation areas for IFRS in asset accounting.
Regards,
Vani.

hi
You should use the local rules for depreciation area 01 = local book and
set up your group rules in another depreciation area such as 30 where you can use different GAAP & use relevant depreciation Key.

Calculate Depreciation Forecast for Fixed asset

Dear all expert,
I'm new to ASO, would like to know if there's a way to do depreciation forcast for fixed asset in Essbase.
1. Database type is ASO
2. Assuming user will prepare forecast caplitialization of fixed asset then upload to Essbase
3. Attribute dimension "Useful life" has been defined and attached to specific "Accounts" dimension for calcluation
4. Need to calculate the forecast and spread of depreciation for future months
E.g. Input 32000 USD for a fixed asset cost with 32 months useful life
-> should calculate 1000 each month for the coming 32 months
Can any expert suggest how to do this in ASO? meaning only can do calculation in member formula itself, not calculation script.
Thanks for your help in advance,
Billy

I haven't used the feature, but the reference to 'local script_file' in the MaxL railroad diagram for the 'execute calculation' command suggests the location is relative to the client, if the semantics are consistent with the 'export data' command (the options for report scripts there are 'server' or 'local', although according to the railroad diagram there is no non-local alternative in this case!).
There is a worked example in a Rittman Mead blog post about this that might help: http://www.rittmanmead.com/2010/04/oracle-epm-11-1-2-essbase-calculations-on-aso-cubes-part-2-maxl-scripts-and-eas/
The DBAG also says that the script files should have suffix .csc, while the Tech Ref example has suffix .txt - helpful!! If they were actually meant to sit in the server's db directory, I would be surprised to find the .csc suffix used, since that is also the suffix for aggregation scripts. Although me being surprised doesn't mean much.

Can Oracle Project costing drive the depreciation expense amount from FA

-Does Oracle project have direct integration with Oracle FA for deriving the Depreciation amount to oracle project costing and same as sallary in oracle payroll ?
Answer:
1) No, there is no integration as such with Payroll
--- Second Q If Yes ;
If i have Machine X it depreciates 100 USD per month , so i have assigned this machine for 15 days in project 1 and the other 15 days to project 2 did the system will allocate 50 USD to project 1 and 50 USD to project 2?
Can someone answer this - my thoughts are ...
2)Yes, ideally it should allocate amount to multiple projects, not sure whether it is done automatically or we need to run any process ... is there any documentation on this as I was unable to find it.
Please if the Q1 have answer yes i need document how to do this integration , and if Q2 answer is yes also i need who to or what is the condition to reach this point?
Thanks, Ferhiz DInshaw

per our pidgin conversation:
first of all, you are right - there is no such integration with Payroll or FA. depreciation is calculated in FA only. in Projects we do not derive it or control it in any way.
all we do in PA is we collect costs as they occur, generate asset lines and advise FA that an asset is subject to depreciation
regarding multiple projects - that is not how it works right now. a project can have as many assets as needed. However these assets are bound to a single project and do not exist as organization wide transactions.
when you interface your asset lines to FA, you can merge them to existing assets. This again is standard FA functionality. If there is a requirement to have cross project assets in PA, it is an enhancement request.
hope it helps
thanks

Calculation of depreciation and interest for a particular asset class

Hi,
I have a problem with the calculation of depreciation and interest for a particular asset class. The assets are financial leases. The depreciation key defined is LEAS. The following are the attributes of this key:
Dep/int             phase     base met dec-bal prd cont mult lvl chn ov
Ord.depreciation     1     0011     001     006     001        5
Ord.depreciation     2     0002     001     003     003
Interest             1     0028     001     003     010
An example of an asset is:
Aquisition value: 1041552.71 (as migrated on 01.04.2007)
Ordinary dep already posted: 56243.88
Net book value: 985308.83
Scrap Value:729086.90
Useful life: 50 years
Expired useful life: 9 years 1 month
Remaining useful life: 40 years 11 months.
Depreciation start date: 28.03.1998
Interest calculation start date:30.03.1997
Depreciation calculated by the system:6261.83
Interest calculated in the year:15682.68
I'm not able to undersatnd on what basis the system calculated the interest. I will be thankful if anyone can help me resolve this. An early reply will be greatly appreciated as I'm facing major problems due to this issue.

Hi Mahesh,
As per my analysis of the case the interest rates are as under
Acq. Year                                                    Int.Percent
9999     4          01     10.%
9999     7          01     5.%
9999     25          01     2.5%
9999     999     12     01     2.5%
As per this the Acquisition value less the Scrap Value Rs.312,465.00 @ 2.5% p.a will be Rs. 7811.64.
Based on the above you analyse for which period interest is calculated.
Hope it will help.

Vijay

How to 'force in' the Depreciation Area for an Asset after it was created

After AFAB, I've changed depreciation key for an asset from 20% to 0%

Hi All,
I've posted depreciation (AFAB) for periods from 01 to 04 (Depreciation Area 20).
Later I've changed the depreciation key for an asset from 20% to 0%.
In my test SAP allows me to update depreciation data only in the period 05 (for previous data).
Is there the way to repete the depreciation posted in the periods from 01 to 04!
Cluo d anyone help me??
Thanks

Rossi,
Since you have already posted the depreciation for the periods 01 to 04, the system assumes that there are no postings pending for those periods and hence shows the recalculated depreciation in period 05. But you can do the repeat depreciation run using AFAB transaction code. You can try them for period 04 and the entire depreciation posted till 04 will get charged in Period 04 itself.

Vinod
