Depreciation of an Asset on Shift basis

Hi Guru's
We are facing a situation where one asset is used in shift as stated below.
Business want SAP to calculate depreciation for the below shift.
Please share your inputs on how to meet the business requirement.
SHIFT DETAILS: 3 shifts for the first 6 months, 2 shift for the next 3 months and 1 sift for last 3 months.
Regards
SF

Hi Lidia,
I have done the following step:
Step1:
1) AS02 - In Time dependent tab - clicked on Asset Shutdown.
2) Noted down the depreciation key as 1004 & 1044 from the tab Depreciation Areas from AS02.
Step2:
In AFAMA, I have changed the the shutdown option to YES for both the Depreciation areas identified from AS02.
Now my question is do I need to do anything else. And will the setting be left as it is.
And Client is going to scarp this asset as next step.So do i need to any other step apart from this to stop depreciation with respect to scrapping asset.Or whether it is temporary stopping or permanent stopping of the asset the same action has to be taken ??
After the scrapping of the asset shoud I need to change the setting back of the depreciation areas of the shutdown option.
Pls reply soon..As always i will assure you points..

Appreciation in the depreciation of an asset after acquisition

Hi all,
After acquisition in last quarter of the asset, the asset tries to do a catch up and it posts an appreciation suddenly in the same or next month of acquistion.
For e.g the Useful life of asset is 1 year.
Acquistion date - 01/08 with amount 159900.
So dep is calculated at 159900/12 = 13325 per month
Now in Oct, an acquistion was made for 38880. So suddenly in period 10 is show appreciation of +111642 and from period 11 is shows some diff dep of 16565.
Not sure why it does. We have issues in few assets and I noticed that it only happens when acquistion is made in the last quarter of the useful life
We are using our own dep key but I don't see anything wierd.
Can anyone help me in letting me know what I need to change so that whenever acquistion are made in the last quarter, it does not appreciates

Stop depreciation for an Asset

Hi,
I understand when we create a asset master, the number of life years and the depreciation key are copied from the asset class it belongs to.
However, the finance side requires to pause depreciation for a asset, or they could want to stop depreciation for this asset, and how do we go about doing it? The situation now is that this asset already have depreciation posted.
I appreciate any help.
Thanks

You can use the asset shutdown functionality so you can pause the depreciation for a given period of time.
AS02 > Time dependent tab , click the asset shutdown. In case asset shutdown is not available, check spro and customise fixed asset master data.
Hope this helps.

Error occured while doing depreciation for an asset

Hi,
I could running the depreciation for an asset in AFAB t-code.
The msg is ""Testrun Completed successfully" and "No document were created for this run". I have purchased the asset for the month of April and wanted to run the depreciation for that month.
Please Advice.
Thanks
Bnoy

Dear Bnoy,
If you look at the message itself saying Testrun completed successfully. So mean you are runnning depreciation posting program in TEST RUN mode, so it is understood not to post any document in system in real time and if any error occurs must show in simulation mode.
If you dont found any error in TEST RUN, next running time remove TEST RUN and execute the same again, here at this time system will post the document and asset explorer will get updated with posted values.
I hope this will help you to understand depreciation posting functionality, and you will be able to overcome the facing issue.
If you have any doubts feel free to share, you are welcome !

Calculation of Depreciation for Group Asset

Hi Experts,
I am getting a problem while doing depreciation for group asset
Ex: 80,000; Rate 10%
total depreiaiton p.a is Rs 8000/-
as per the Indian standards if it is below 180 days it should take Rs 4000/-, but in my system it is showing Rs 3333.33
my depreciation start date & capitlization date is 01.11.2007.
Regards,
Satya Vani.

Dear,
Reshma.
Looking at your Questions let us take explanation for Group Assets :-
1 ) We need to create new different asset class for Group Class in OAOA. Then permit the depreciation area for only Group Asset in OAYM as it is in your current scenario India is Depreciation Area 15 Just select your company code in OAYM and check the Grp Asset field for respective area 15. Then go to OAAX here we have to maintain the assets classes particularly for Group Assets. So check your Group Asset classes for Group Assets. Cerate different Group asset classes for your said requirement.
In these depreciation areas, it is then possible to make an assignment to a group asset. You make this assignment in the specifications for the depreciation area in the asset master record. When you post an acquisition to this kind of asset, the system duplicates the line items from this depreciation area on the given group asset.
2 ) According to me you have to create different depreciation keys for Group Asset classes. Assign the Depreciation keys to your newly created Group Asset Classes in OAYZ and make sure you are deactivating 01 area which is Book Depreciation area.
3 ) As far as I know this is the only functionality available to handle Group Assets. How ever SAP does not have any standard Group Assets functionality. SAP does not supply asset classes to be used solely for group assets. It is we have to determine as per varying Business Process.
I hope this will clear your doubt makes you to understand. Please revert back for further clarification. Welcome you.

Pankaj A Bhalerao.

in on asset class i have created 2 assets by using of aso1 after that i acquired one asset for that i run the depreciation for first 5 periods, it has been showing depreciation for those period but if i am trying to run the depreciation for second asset it is not showing first 5 periods why it is not showing? Is there any reason?

Hi
Repeat run you can do only for the last depreciation period. For the asset which you are tryin to post depreciation from July to Jan, please check the asset value date which you have given while posting the transactions or in the asset master.
If the asset value date is in July, then deprecaition from July - Jan will get posted in the current month depreciation in total. You will not be able to post depreciation individually month wise using AFAB.

Stop Depreciation of an Asset

Hi Gurus,
We have an asset that was capitalized last March 2011with useful life of 3years. To be specific, the item is a television set.
Goods receipt was transacted last March for this asset with ttype 120 with an entry of Dr. Asset and Cr. GR/IR Clearing Account.
2 months of depreciation were already posted last April and May 2011.
The problem is that the department head told our accounting dept that this item should not be treated as an asset and should be charged to a personal expense.
Kindly advise on how we can stop the depreciation this month June and the succeeding months. Pls advise also on how can we correct the previous postings that were already made on this asset (GR and depreciation) given that the books for the previous months were already closed.
Thanks,
Ellicec

Dear:
Please check if reversal of the Past Depreciation(posted) is possible through Write-Up ABZU - Miscellaneous is the transaction used for Write-Up of past depreciation.
Transaction effects will be like
Accumulated Dep A/C Debit
Deprecation exp a/c A/C Credit
For more info please check link

OASV can give credit to Acc dep posted for an asset class but not to a particular asset.

How to stop Depreciation for some assets & start again.

Dear Friends,
We have a requirement where we have to stop Depreciation for some assets as they are not in use and again post depreciation when they put in use.
For ex: Asset Value is 10,000 and monthly Depreciation is 100. Asset has been depreciated for first 6 periods in year with 100 each in every month & we want to stop depreciation for coming 3 months and post depreciation when they put in use. Asset should not be depreciated when they are not in use and calculate regular 100 if we run depreciation again if we put in use. So total Depreciation of the asset for the year should be 900 (First 6 Months & last 3 months).
Please explain step by step process to do this and your kind cooperation to solve this issue is highly appreciated.
Points will be rewarded for sure if my problem solves.
Thanks & Regards,
Naveen Kumar.

Go to AS03 Asset Master/Dep tab and observe the dep key
Goto AFAMA and select that dep key and click on assignment of calculation methods
You can see last row for shutdown field and select YES
Go to asset master at AS02/Time dependent data and select shutdown check box and enter period
If shutdown check box is not available goto as03 and goto menu environment-screen layout and master data and identify the screen layout number
Go to SPRO-Financial Accounting (New)-Asset Accounting-Master Data-Screen Layout-Define Screen Layout for Asset Master Data-Define Screen Layout for Asset Master Data-
Select your screen layout and click on logical field groups and select 3 (Time dependent data) and click on field group rules and make shutdown field as optional.
This will allow you to change the shutdownfield asset master data.

What is the best way to stop the depreciation of an asset

I had tried ticking the asset shutdown field, but it didn't works. I change the depreciation key , e.g. 0000-zero depreciation, it works, however i do not know what is the implication of doing this.
What is the best option to stop depreciation of an asset?
Thanks.
Best Regards,
Roberto Sayo

Hi,
No depreciation for a period of time
If you have an asset which would not be used for production purposes for next six months as the plant is being closed.
Therefore you don't want to retire the asset and neither do you want depreciation to be carried out during these six months period.
Once the plant is opened, from then on, you want to execute the depreciation run.
You can utilize the Asset Shutdown feature on the Time-dependent tab of the asset master record.
Select the Asset Shutdown checkbox - create a time interval - Save.
If you cannot find the checkbox, it could be hidden :-
In AS02 click Environment -> Screen Layout -> Master data
Select the Screen Layout and click Logical Field groups
Select 3 - Time-dependent and click Field group rules
Tick Opt, Mnno and Sbno - Save
Optionally,
you can set the Depreciation key in the Deprecation Area Tab.
You can also change the depreciation key to '0000' (No depreciation and no interest) for each of your depreciation books. Just make sure you have run depreciation up through the current month before doing so. When you are ready to put the asset back into service, reset the keys to their original values. The system will calculate no depreciation during the months where you have the key set to '0000'.

OR
Use the asset shutdown option in field status group in time dependent tab.

Depreciation of revalued asset

Hi Everybody,
I am here to seek your advice regarding an issue in asset accounting.
Let me delve into the problem directly.
Very recently my client has undergone asset revaluation process.After revaluation my client wants that the depreciation should be calculated as revalued value/total life. As per SAP its found that depreciation is calculated as revalued amount/remaining life.
Now my question: is it possible to calculate depreciation of revalued asset by taking the total life of the asset taking into consideration?
If yes then how? whats the process in SAP ?
Let me give an example:
Suppose in year 2006 an asset ABCD with an acquisition value of Rs 1000, total useful life is 10 years. So depreciation is Rs 100 for the year.So my Net book value is Rs 900 in year 2007.In 2007 itself the client made a revaluation of Rs 500 and the total value of the asset comes Rs 1500.
SAP is calculating the depreciation as (900+500)/9=155(approx) for a year.
Now my client wants to calculate the depreciation as (1000+500)/10=150.
Is it possible in SAP ? If yes then how to post the difference amount of (Rs 5 per year) in SAP?
Awaiting your early response.

Hi Dominic,
Thanks for your response.
If a new depreciation key is required, can the original multi level method be assigned, or would a new multi-level method need to be defined with the new appropriate depreciation rates?
Thanks

how to run depreciation per particular asset and particular month either posted or planned.please help me.
Regards,
viswanadh.

Hi ,
If you Want to Run the deprecation for a single Asset and also if you want to run for a perticular Period ,Follow this Process - in AFAB in Parameters you give fiscal Year and give the Period for which month you want to Run the deprecation and under reason of posting Select unPlanned Posting run , after this come down to Parameters to test run- give the Main asset Number i.e Asset Number for which you want to run Deprecation, first run in test mode then remove it and excute.
in the above process do not select any thing else.
with the above process you can run the Dep. for single Asset and month.
hope the above fullfills your requirment.
