Hi Experts
this is regarding asset depreciation.
Can we calculate depreciation for an asset based on units produced instead months or years. Please reply.
Thanks and Regards
Balu.

Yes. Check transaction AO25. More informations you can find on http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_02/helpdata/en/4f/71de6f448011d189f00000e81ddfac/frameset.htm

India Tax Depreciation (group asset)

Hi FICO experts,
    I'm having some problem with depreciation calculation for group assets to adhere to India IT Tax Depreciation regulation. As per IT law,
1. asset acquired <180days shall be depreciated at 1/2 of the depreciation rate for the fiscal year
2. asset acquired >180days shall be depreciated at full rate for the fiscal year
    I've created depreciation key with period control NL and IT, and configure 2 depreciaiton area i.e 01 for book and 02 for tax depreciation in India COD. 02-Tax depreciation is configured as managed at Group asset.
    I created 2 Assets i.e Asset A and Asset B and both linked to Group Asset C. Say the depreciation rate is 15%
1. Asset A - Acquired on P1 of 2008 --> INR10000
2. Asset B - Acquired on P9 of 2008 --> INR10000
   A & B are linked to Group Asset C in 02-Tax depreciation area.
     When I view Group Asset depreciation, I noticed that the deprecition for 2008 computed as (1000015%)+(1000015%). Thus, although Asset B is still being depreciated at full rate of 15% instead of half of the rate.
    Besides, is that normal that I'm not able to see depreciation at Asset A and Asset B in tax depreciation area 02 when they are managed at Group. I can only view the deprecation at Group asset C?
    Appreciate help if anyone have similar experience. Thank you in advance.

Hi,
If you want to adhere Indian IT laws then follow the below mentioned steps:
1. Maintain a relationship of 1:1 of AS01 & AS21, means when you create a new normal asset it should be tagged with a new group asset.
2. Try to use SAP standard delivered dep. keys.
3. Change asset value date determination in SPRO.
4. Tagged group asset into the normal asset master.
5. Check tax dep.figures under group asset.

Depreciation on Asset for current period..?

Hi Experts,
i have a question regarding depreciation on asset. My fiscal year is apr-mar. Suppose i purchased asset(Ex:machinery) this month(december). So from When can i run depreciation on that particular asset.?
Thanks in Advance,
Regards,
Rajesh.

You have really asked two questions, and I don't know that the answer for both is the same throughout this world.
1 When must statutory depreciation start for taxation purposes, such as for the IRS regulations if in the US? This is probably NOT depreciation area 01 in SAP, but a derived area maybe.
2 When must financial accounting depreciation start, such as for US GAAP or for IFRS rules. This usually involves depreciation area 01 in SAP, plus other DA's for revaluations and/or for subsidiary company financial reporting in other currencies.
Probably both are when the assets are placed into service, or some other consistent project milestone that approximates in-service dates. But check with your accountants/auditors for DA01, and check with your statutory tax personnel for non-financial areas.

Depreciation on assets with asset shutdown

To stop depreciation on assets with the 'asset shutdown' our test asset still shows planned posting of .01 one month and -.01 the next. Is this due to configuration of the depreciation key? Or, is there a program to make 'planned' equals 'posted' to zero out these pennies. Deprecation should no longer post once the asset is shutdown.
Thanks,
Mark Ashabraner

Dear Mark,
We have this same problem, after configured 'shutdown' indicator in depr key and asset master (we are using multiple depr area, with different depr key in the depr area), we found that the asset still depreciate for +1/-1 for some of the period (after the shutdown period), and it only happens to certain depr key in the same asset. It looks like the +1/-1 posting is caused by some rounding difference in the depreciation calculation (maybe straight line with remaining value), but the concept for shutdown should be no depreciation at all during shutdown period. Just wondering if you already found solution and would like to share, as we are really desperate. Thanks.

Post depreciation by asset

Hi Guys.
Is there a way of posting depreciation by asset in a specific depreciation area?
I mean, we wanna have acc. deprec account x expense deprec account for each asset in AFAB process.
Even having many, many, many, bseg lines.
Here in Brazil we have an area to control CIAP and my customer wants clear monthly postings with that one posted on acquisition.
Best regards.

Hi,
SAP standard does not allow you to do so, you are not allowed to
select assets for individual dep postings when you are
doing "planned posting
run" in AFAB. Individual assets can only be selected for posting in repeat run. Here
system will allow
you to post a repeat run only
for the periods for which
planned posting run has
already been done.

Reverse depreciation for asset wise

Dear SAP gurus,
Is it possiablity to do reverse depreciation for assets wise.Please suggest me.
Thanks in advance,
Sai

Hi,
In standard it is not possible.
You have workaround for this.
1.Change the depreciation key assigned in asset master
2.Copy transaction type 640 and choose debit transaction radio button. Next go to ABAA and give the new transaction type and amount(depreciation amount) to reverse.
You can choose any one option from the above.

Posting Unplanned Depreciation when asset net book value is zero

We recently transferred some assets from one company code to another. However, when they transferred, the depreciation all reversed out YTD.
We are now trying to post the YTD depreciation back in under the original company code, but when we try posting unplanned depreciation, the following error message appears -
"In area 01, you can only post manual dep. up to the amount 0.00"
I believe this is because the asset does not have any net book value now.
Any suggestions on how to resolve this?
Many thanks,

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

Error in depreciation run - assets under construction

Hi!
Could someone please help me with the following:
My customer has a large amount of assets under construction (AuC) and also other assets. None of the assets under consctruction should have a depreciation key (or depreciation key 0000) and no depreciation accounts are allocated in transaction AO93 for AuC . But my customer now has incorrectly created a few AuC (that should NOT be depreciated at all) with depreciation key LINK. What happened?
1) Test run depreciation (AFAB) for all assets in period 1 during 2010. In test run no error log was created, everything looked fine.
2) Executed depreciation in background.
3) When looking at each of the assets in transaction AW01N I can see that all assets (both real assets and AuC with depreciation key) has depreciation posted in period 1. BUT, no depreciation has been posted in general ledger on any of the asset classes!
4) I have now changed the depreciation key on all AUC in AS02 to 0000 so that no depreciation will be calculated.
5) Trying to run AFAB again for period 2 but error message says that period 1 was terminated and that period 1 should be restarted.
6) Trying to run period 1 again in AFAB with restart but error message says "Account 'Acc.dep. accnt.for ordinary depreciation' could not be found for area 01" and refering to all of the incorrect AuC that I have corrected (to no depreciation key)
Please how can I go on? I want to reverse the depreciation in period 1 since I didn't get any posting i the general ledger. And then I want to make a new depreciation run only with correct assets (only depreciation on real assets, not on AuC).
Please help!
I am very thankful for any help!
Many many thanks in advance!

System not calculating depreciation for assets

The system is not calculating any depreciation or even showing planned depreciation values under asset explorer.
Problem is in QAS client checked configuration and all settings are fine and in test client all is fine system is calculating depreciation. Please help thank you

Hi, check in AW01N in Posted values tab when last depr was posted and when next planed.
May be acquisition was in the next period from period in which you're trying to post depr. Or may be the case in Period control method, I mean that depr'd be calculated quarterly

Depreciation reposting, Asset master deletion Reg

Hi
I have come across a problem.Duplicate asset masters are uploaded in to the system and later on depreciation posting run is carried out for these assets.
Now we want to delete these assets masters.
As of my knowledge we need to change the Depreciation key and rerun the depreciation posting for the same periods.
But i am not able to change the depreciation key .System message is the perticular dep.key can not be changed.
Can any one help me with the detail process to be followed?
thanking you
Ramesh Babu

Hi I have successfully deleted the Duplicate Assets with the procedure stated in my earlier mail.
Now the users question is to corrrect the depreciation posted to duplicate assets.
I say that i have repeated the depn run with Depn key 0 for all the Duplicate assets and hence the depreciation earlier posted is rectified. No furthur adjusting entry is required.
Please correct me if i am wrong.

Shift Depreciation for assets

Hi All
I want to charge depreciation as follows:
Depreciation Rate: 4.75% for 180 days, 7.42% for 90 days and 10.34% for remaining 95days.
I have created 3 different depreciation key for above three rates. But its not working
For this shift factor will be used. Let me know how to do it in SAP.

Hi,
The following steps are needed to maintain multiple shift depreciation:
1.The variable depreciation portion as a percentage rate is to be maintained in the detail screen of the depreciation area. Variable proportion is calculated out of the system as follows:
(Difference between two dep rates as per shift wise X100)/ lower dep rate. eg. (7.42-4.75)*100/4.75 = 56.21
For each shift you can define period intervals.
In time dependent tab, for Single Shift
shift factor - 1
variable portion = 56.21052632
for double shift
shift factor - 2
variable portion - 56.21052632
for thiple shift
shift factor - 3
variable portion - 58.84.
2. The multiple shift factor is to be maintained in the time dependent data in the asset master record. This shift factor is multiplied by the variable portion of ordinary depreciation.
Once you have done the above the SAP system calculates the total depreciation amount as follows:
Depreciation amount = Fixed depreciation + (variable depreciation * shift factor)

Depreciation run: Assets posted, FI not posted

Dear All,
User created an AUC with reference to an existing asset, thereby deriving depn key of that asset.
Depr run gave error for acc. depn account determination for that AUC.
Values of that AUC trf to other AUC with depn key 0000.
Depn deactivated and thereafter original AUC deleted.
First depn run has posted values in AA module without any reference document.
We have analysed and found that Table ANLP has data of this original AUC.
How can one by-pass this data which is being picked in the depn run?

Dear Dattatray,
Basically AUC should not be charged with depreciation. For that matter you should not even maintain depreciation accounts against AUC asset class.
Also, asset gets picked up in depreciation run as it is getting capured thru any of the tables viz. ANLB, ANLC< ANLZ, ANLP, ANLQ etc.
Still as I understand you should not charge depreciation to AUC.

Ajay Gupte

Running depreciation for assets uploaded by ADI

Hi All,
I uploaded some assets into applications using ADI (Application Desktop Integrator). I did not enter any YTD or Accumulated Depreciation values while doing that with the hope that the applications will calculate it when I first run the depreciation for the current open period.
For some of the assets, Date in Service field has a date from 2-3 years ago. Does anybody know if applications calculate depreciation for those old assets when running it for say January 2007 or I have to manually calculate and enter it into the system.
Thanks,

Hi Bernhard
The understanding of getting -1100 as NBV is correct
But when we check the AR001/AR002 as an enhancement spot, our requirement cannot be done
We tried the other option of taking an customer exit during AFAB and tried to append the value of depreciation. At that point we cannot append the current period depreication from postive to negative
From our analysis we found that it may not be the right place, since we have the value of depreciation in postive in AA table (which can be checked in AW01N)
The other option of this is while posting transaction for example F-90, the system will post FI transaction and it will update the AA tables as well
But AA updation happens at backgroud. Do you have any idea or hint which program will update the AA when F-90 is done
If you check the value in AW01N, this will be calculated the planned depreciation movement the F-90 transaction is posted
Thanks
