Hi ,
i am strucked with posting of depreciation of an asset.
Plz any one can suggest solution for below scenario : --
Company code : ABC LTD.
Fiscal Year       : April,2008 to March,2009
Cost an Machinery : 1,20,000 , April 1st is Aquisition date.
Dep Method is Units of Production .
Depreciation for each month is 10,000 based on the formula.
        i executed depreciation of Machinery in the months of April,May,June also. (Depreciation amount for 3 months is 30,000 )
     in the month of 1st July , additional acquisitions posted.
the amount is rs 1,20,000. here the problem is :
the depreciation amount is showing 50,000 ,while iam executing depreciation run in the month of Jully,31st.
         depreciation for additional asset should be calculated from month of 1st jully onwards but its calculatin form the month of april onwards.
Thanks in advance,

Hi Kiran,
this is the correct behaviour in the capitalization year. Please consider OSS notes 53166 and 92925, which contain an explanation of that behaviour and a workaround.

Depreciation for additional acquisition

Hello,
I had the below requirement, Could you please help if anybody had any idea on this issue..
If i purchased additional acquisition in 3 rd month (Use ful life of asset is 12 months) say for ex: Asset Value is 2700/-
From 3rd month onwards it should post 2700/9M=300 per month so that end of the month the asset value will be "zero"
But as per my customizing it is calculating like this:
If the asset value is 2700 which i purchased in 3rd month it is posting dep as 1 Month -200
                       2 Month-200
                       3 Month-200+900=1100
                       4 Month- 200+300=500(200 is normal value)
                       5 Month -200+300=500
Here it is calculation 2700/12 month and equally distributing, i don't want to calculate for first 3 months,
Hope there must be some control for additional acquisition, i have checked period control also, but still getting the same problem.
Can anybody help on this, as it is very urgent for me..
Many tx,
Veena

Hi,
ok, I understand what you mean. With reference to my example, a subsequent acquisition:
01.07.2008     300,00     100     External asset acquisition     EUR
produced the following situation:
4     300,00-     0,00     0,00     0,00     EUR
5     300,00-     0,00     0,00     0,00     EUR
6     300,00-     0,00     0,00     0,00     EUR
7     433,33-     0,00     0,00     0,00     EUR
8     333,34-     0,00     0,00     0,00     EUR
9     333,33-     0,00     0,00     0,00     EUR
10     333,33-     0,00     0,00     0,00     EUR
11     333,34-     0,00     0,00     0,00     EUR
12     333,33-     0,00     0,00     0,00     EUR
     3.000,00-     0,00     0,00     0,00     EUR
As you explained, in my case, the system will catch up the depreciation for the periods 4 to 6 in period 7.
This is the standard system behaviour, because once the depreciation start date is set, the subsequent acquisitions will take this depreciation start date as reference, and not the date of the subsequent acquistion, as you are assuming.
Please read SAP note 46456, which explains this issue more in detail.
The 'Calculate according to asset value date' indicator in the calculation key for the depreciation cannot be maintained as of maintenance level 3.0E. As SAP note 53166 describes this indicator frequently caused misunderstandings. And that is why this function has been "removed".
But, you can still configure this behaviour with a modification, in table T090NP, field XBZDAT at your own risk. Please beware that with such a modification, there is no support in case of future incidences. In note 814004 you will find a short report which enables you to change the parameter.
I hope this will help you.

Depreciation posted for wrong GL

Hi Sap experts,
My issue is "Depreciation posted for wrong GL" --(periods-4th,9th and 12)
Here my client is maintained 01for book depreciation area and 11-for IFRS depreciation area
Actually Depreciation posted as:-Depreciation a/c Dr 1000/-
Accumulated p&m Cr1000/-
Above entry appearing in 11-IFRS depreciation area,but depreciation value amount showing in 01 book dep. area.
Client requirement is dep.value has to appear in 11-IFRS depreciation area.
One solution -
-is wrongly GL assigned for IFRS in a/c determination-AO90 transaction.
Second scenario--- is how these depreciation value adjustment for IFRS for correct GL code.

Hi
please check in SCMO the log to the depreciation posting run, there you will see all the FI-documents created by the depreciation run.

Problem with depreciation posting for an asset with a '0' net book value.

Hi,
I have a problem with depreciation posting on one asset. I think it should not be calculated and posted at all.
On 1st November 2010 (our Fiscal year starts on 1st November) there was acquisition posted to an asset and then it was reversed on the same day - so the net book value was '0'.
In AFAB depreciation run for April 2011 - it posted depreciatoion of 0.01 Euro, so now the book value is -0.01.
Do you know how this could have happened and what can I do to get the value of this asset back to 0?
Thank you,
Karol

Hi Murlidhar,
Thank you for your reply.
I just have one doubt - as depreciation of 0.01 Eur was posted in previous period leaving net value of asset equal to -0.01 Eur.
Shouldn't I get ritd of this asset value before I proceed with the steps you suggested?
I think it is not possible to reverse the depreciation - so I struggle to find a way to bring asset value back to zero.
Thank you,
Karol

Depreciation posting for Book Assets to Cost Center

Dear Friends,
We have upgraded from 4.70 version to ECC6.0 EHP4. Fixed Assets was not
implemented in 4.70. Now we are implementing Fixed Assets module in
ECC6.0.
We have copied the Standard Chart of Deprecition 0IN from Client 000
and renamed the same as BCLL: Chart of depreciation: BCLL.
I defined asset masters and maintained Cost center and Bus Area in the
Time Dependent area.
I maintained the configuration in Transaction Code ACSET for the
default Cost Center.
But while posting depreciation i.e. AFAB, the system is throwing error
and not posting to the Cost center defined in the asset master.
Hence I am maintaining the Default Cost center in OKB9 for depreciation
posting.
Please help me in resolving the issue.
Best Regards
Srinivas A

Dear Friends,
As pointed out by you, I have already activated the Account Assignment KOSTL and also maintained the Account Assignment Object in ACSET but the system is throwing the error "Account 4850 requires an assignment to a CO object", Message Number KI235.
The system is not posting to the Cost Center maintained in the Asset Master record.
Hence I posted to the Cost Center maintained in OKB9 but I understand this is not the correct appraoch.

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.
regards Bernhard

Hi Praveen,
Your not mentioned which version followed by you Either ECC 6.0 or 4.7.
If your following ECC 6.0 version Here you can deselect the external check box for document type AF. (OBA7)
Then you can execute depreciation under TC AFAB .
You can see the planned or unplanned depreciation.
The Above information it might be resolved your issue.
Thanks

Asset Unplanned Depreciation posting for period 12 where ord dep is posted

Dear Experts,
I have a requirement where i want to post Unplanned/Manual depreciation for asset for period 12 where i have already posted ordinary depreciation and now when i am trying to change the post key i am getting a message "Enter a depreciation key with 'depreciation by days'
Is their any possibility where i can post some depreciation amount manually or through unplanned depreciation for period 12 without disturbing Planned depreciation amount.
Regards,
Rahul

No,
a depreciation key with 'depreciation by days' you can only change in a depreciation key with 'depreciation by days'
This is set-up in the depreciation key
This is the help:
Depreciation calculation to exact day
Specifies that the system calculates depreciation to the day.
Use
Any period control methods entered in the depreciation key are ignored for the entire useful life of the asset. This applies to all transactions (acquisitions, retirements, and transfers). The system always uses the asset value date as the depreciation start date.
The "depreciation to the day" function becomes active for an asset as soon as the asset has a corresponding depreciation key and the asset is capitalized (posted to). Once this takes place, it is no longer possible to switch off this function for the asset, even if you change the depreciation key. On the other hand, it is not possible to activate this function for an asset after it has already been capitalized using a different depreciation key.

Depreciation posting for past period

Dear All
I have already posted depreciation for Jan 2012. After that I have made some acquisitions in Dec 2011 and want to post depreciation for that in Dec 2011 (with posting date 31.12.2011).
While trying Repeat run for period 9 it gives message "Only period 010 can be posted in the repeat run"
For Restart run message is "Restart not required in the specified period 009"
For Unplanned run message is "Posting already performed in period 009"
How can I post depreciation with posting date 31.12.2011? I don't want to post difference in January 2012.
Thanks & Regards
Shripal Bhavsar

Hi Shripal,
You cannot post the depreciation in Dec 2011, when the Depreciation for January 2012 have been already performed. You can execute the depreciation program in repeat mode for the last period posted, that is in January 2012.
The only option I could think is to post a Manual Journal entry in Dec 2011 and reverse the same in January 2012. Then execute the depreciation program in January 2012. You can execute this program in test mode to know the exact catch entry.
Dec 2011 - Entry 1
Depreciation Expense Dr xxxxxx
Accumulated Depr. Manual account Cr xxxxxxx
Jan 2012 - Entry 2 (reversal of Entry 2)
Accumulated Depr. Man acct Dr xxxxxxx
Depreciation Expense Cr xxxxxx
Jan 2012
AFAB - Execute this program in Repeat mode
Please revert in case you have any questions.

Vinod

Avoid depreciation posting for a depreciation area

Hello experts,
I have the following problem:
I created a new valuation area for fixed assets that is to be active since 31.12.2007. Values are going to be uploaded for the new area in this transfer date. Afterwards, depreciation for years 2008, 2009 and 2010 is to be run in order to post the depreciation of the new area during these years but I don´t want any depreciation to be posted in area 01 by any means, because for this area depreciation is already posted. I know that no depreciation shoud be posted because planned depreciation is already equal to real depreciation in area 01 but just in any case I would like to avoid depreciation to be posted in this area.
So, I thought about shutting down the asset for area 01 but when testing it. I don´t see the efect, I mean the asset keeps depreciating. I put the shutdown flag in the asset master data and also created a new depreciation key, to assign a different key depending on depreciation area. For the area I need sutdown, shutdown indicator is set to "yes" at the assignment of calculation method (transaction AFAMA) but for the depr. area I don´t need the sutdown indicator is set to "no" .
Is it a good idea to use asset shutdown in this case or is there any risk of area 01 trying to adjust the already posted depreciation?
Why shutting down the asset is failing since I configured both asset master master and depr. key?
Is there another solution (different to shutdown) to avoid posting depreciations in area 01?
Thanks in advace, rmb

Hi,
my last answer was wrong - I'm sorry.
Shutdown is the correct solution.
For shutdown there are 2 settings relevant.
1) in Asset master date you hav set the flat shotdown.
2) In depr. Key you have not set "Shutdown. Yes"
      ad 2)
AFAMA:
Depr. Key
    -> Assignment of Calculation Methods
     -> please see the last field below.
For sure I would not change the standard depr. key, i would make a copy.

Depreciation posting for two different Cost Centers

Hello everybody,
My client has an asset that was assigned to Cost Center #1 from the 1st of january to the 20th. Then it was reassigned to Cost Center #2. (Cost Center is configured to be a time dependent field).
We were expecting the system to split the depreciation amount into these two Cost Centers at the end of the month. Apparently we were expecting too much. The depreciation amount is going completely to Cost Center #2 wich is incorrect.
Do you think that there is something missing in the configuration? Or SAP just does not split the depreciation amount according to the time intervals? If that is impossible, do you have any alternative solutions?
Thanks a lot,
Plácido

Distribution of Depreciation and Interest
It is only possible to enter one cost center in the asset master record. You distribute depreciation and interest to different cost centers using settlement within Controlling (CO). The cost center in the asset master record then serves the function of a distribution cost center.
The disadvantage of this approach is that reports show only the distribution cost center, and not the cost centers that are actually debited. Also, you need to create a separate cost center for the distribution.
A different approach is to follow this procedure:
·        Determine the cost center that you want to be shown in asset reports as the cost center of the asset. Enter this cost center in the asset master record.
·        Enter an internal order in the asset master record. The system then posts to this order when it posts depreciation. The system does not post to the cost center.
·        Settle the internal order to the cost centers that you want to debit.

Depreciation Posting for Unit of Production Method

HI,
This question is related to posting of Unit of Production depreciation method.
Ref to my own Thread - Hourly Depreciation on Assets
I have configured the deprecitaion key for UoP method. The same is been assigned in Asset Master.
But now the problem is, during AFAB processing the assets with UoP depreciation key is not getting picked.
Is there any other way to post the depreciation for such asstes?
Thanks & Regards,
Ajay Gupte

Hi,
Thanks for your replies.
1. UL field status is optional in "screen layout for depreciation areas" config and we do not want to change to any other method, t.code OA77 does not exist.
As per help for field UL it says "If a useful life is not entered in the asset class, and you use depreciation keys that calculate automatically, this field is a required entry regardless of the settings in the screen layout control".
2. Thanks for this we are using 0018, if we use 0019 it is calculating.
I will try this and let you know.
Regards
