Depreciation key can it be changed

1) Can we change the depreciation key beofre running depreciation for assets. Suppose we decide that we want to change the depreciaiton key to calculate depreciation at 4% rather then at 2%, can we do that. If yes, how do we do that. Also can we do the same for Asset Group.
2) What is the purpose acquiring asset with automatic offsetting entry ABZON?
Why would we post capitalize existing assets if the previous year is closed. They must still be depreciated since they are existing in the system. Please explain why do we need to post capitalize an existing asset. I can understand for a new asset, it works.

Hi,,
We can chnge depreciation key when ever we want. after changing depreciation key the new values are not showing in planned values then we have to run recalculate depreciation program for that asset i.e in ARAR .

Can we change Depreciation key from activate mode to deactivate mode

Dear Gurus,
I have created one depreciation key and status is activated. After I don't want to use the depreciation key, can I deactivate the status of depreciation key or not.
Please reply immediately.
Regards
Srinivas

Hi Sri
I dont think depreciation can be deactivated again once activated.
But you can delete it if it has not been assigned to any asset.
If it has been assigned, then change the depreciation key in all those assets and then delete the key which is not being used.

Depreciation Key change

Hi
Emergency request***********
Recently I had a requirement for change of depreciation key in the asset classes in depreciation areas 01- book depreciation to calculate straight line depreciation as the old depreciation key was not doing as requested. This was asked to configure for new assets. But, Now when the depreciation key is updated for all the assets and the depreciation is calculated very high and the deprecation is posted for that period.
I know there is no way we can reverse the depreciation values posted for this what I have done is I updated the old depreciation key in asset classes and done the AFAB repeat depreciation run for the period for which values are posted but still this not updating.
Can any one help me how to over come this issue...
Thanks
Srinath

Hi Bernhard,
Let me explain you once again,
recently the request for change of depreciation key so, what I have done is created a new depreciation key and assigned depreciation key in asset class.
Old depreciation key: ABCD
New depreciation Key is : XYZ1
I changed with new depreciation key in Asset class but this is not updated in the assets but the values have changed for all the assets for that asset class.
so, even when I put back the old depreciation key in the asset class and update this is not bringing any difference in the asset and when I re run the depreciation in AFAB this is not making any changes.
Thanks
Srinath

Changing Depreciation Key for Tax for closed fiscal years -

Hello,
Hoping someone can help me with this question - Is it possible to change the depreciation key for closed fiscal years - we need to change it for Tax - books. And if yes - does it mean we need to open closed fiscal years ??
Thank you,
Richa

Hi,
you will need to open the FI and AA periods. After changing the depreciation keys do the necessary dep run and close the books in the correct sequence.There should not be problem.

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.

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.

How can we automate the Depreciation keys based on production for business

How can we automate the Depreciation keys based on production for business u2013 this is currently not an optimised process if we expect business to manually change the keyu2019s on a monthly basis.
The end user updates the table, transaction AO25, manually on month end after the production calculations are completed. The question is, is it possible when the PP is completed, that the system updates the Period Unit table for that period?
Thanks.

Change of Depreciation key - Planned Depreciation

Dear All,
We are having the scenario that, when we change the depreciation key for the asset, the system issues the warning message and still we need to change that.
However the asset has been posted to already. As a result of changing the depreciation key, the planned depreciation in open fiscal years will be recalculated.
How do we avoid to recalculate the planned depreciaiton for the asset when we change the depreciation key.
Because everytime we need to stop depreciation for a number of assets and thus change of depre.key is required.
I request you to all, please kindly provide your values.
Regards,
Ran.

Hi Friend,
It is possible to change the depreciation key, but you can not avoid Planned Dep. Posting Run. As the system considers that it has to re-run.
According to me, you should create the new depreciation Area for such kind of assets and you should go for manual depreciation. Because it is not reasonable to change the depreciation key everytime.

Jigar

Repeat depreciation run can change cost center in GL a/c or not?

Hi Gurus,
I have hit the following issue.
Fixed Asset 1 originally assigned to CC-01 for month of March.
And my user has run depreciation for March already.
Later she changed cost center to CC-02.
Then she repeat depreciation run for the month of March, from the depreciation result shows the new cost center CC-02.
But there is no document generated and thus from corresponding GL account, there is no change, still point to CC-01.Which means CC-02 has not been posted to GL account yet.
May I please know if repeat depreciation run can change cost center in GL a/c or not?
If cannot, what should be the correct way to post the new cost center in GL?
Thanks a lot.
Best Regards
Li Juan

Hi, I have tried the method you mentioned.
I managed to generate the new document (Message shows: Document is posted under number 7500000000).
So can I say that repeat depreciation run cannot change cost center for corresponding cost element?
Everytime user has to do manual posting.
Thanks a lot.

*URGENT* Change in logic of Depreciation key

Dear SAP Gurus,
We have an urgent requirement to change a logic in depreciation key.
Current Scenario:
Asset is depreciated until the remaining value of asset reaches 10% of acquisition cost.
Required Scenario:
Asset is depreciated until the remaining value of asset reaches 10% of acquisition cost. Thereafter, the remaining value is depreciated until the remaining value of asset reaches 5% of acquisition cost.
For eg.)
Acquisition cost: JPY100,000
Life: 4years
depreciation rate 0.438
declining-balance method
Year    accum depre   residual value
Y1        JPY43,800        JPY56,200
Y2        JPY68,416        JPY31,584
Y3        JPY82,250        JPY17,750
Y4        JPY90,024          JPY9,976
Y5        JPY94,394          JPY5,606
Y6        JPY95,000          JPY5,000
[Problem]
In the Depreciation key being set, the final depreciable limit is not considered as described above.
Therefore, the system only compute depreciation until the remaining value of asset reaches 10% of acquisition cost and stop calculation. The system doesn't allow to adjust depreciation amount using ABMA (Manual depreciation) either.
[Requirement]
We would like to ask you to modify configuration.
Question: How and where do I make this change to take care of the requirement?
I have already changed the depreciation rate to 5% in T-code AFAMA (Maintain Depreciation Key.
SPRO > Financial Accounting > Asset Accounting > Depreciation > Maintain Depreciation Key)
But still it is not working properly.
Could you please suggest if there is anywhere else I need to change the configuration?
Suitable reward points shall be awarded.

Sreeni.

Hi.
After making changes to the depreciation key, you must run transaction AFAR in order for the system to recalculate the values.
