Depreciation question

Hi all,
i wanted to know why my system was calculating depreciation in a unusual manner.
My asset transfer date is 9/2007, i want it to start calculating depreciation from 10/2007. In the asset master the acquisition date is 7/2006. the depreciation start date defaults from the acquisition date?? i thought it should do so from the transfer date. I changed the dep start date to 10/2007.
But when i run AFAB it starts calcuatind depreciation from period 2/2007
why does it do so?
Can i start caculating dep eg from period 1 for asset a and period 7 for asset B?
what significance does the captilisation date have? - this is the day the legacy asset was bough right and this is used to calculate the remainig life.
Thanks,
Zaid Azam

I am not sure if you are allowed/ should be doing this.
An asset register is a form of legal document and if you are stating that an asset was bought/ capitalized at 6,000 when it was 10,000 there may be some issues.
There is also one other thing to consider.
If you have the above scenario in your current SAP if the asset had a life of say 10 year it would depreciate 1000 per year.
If you just use straight line dep. then this may not be an issue but if you have a dep key that is more structured and you have the capitalised date and amount different to the actual value it will calculate dep. in the wrong way.
However a point I would raise to you is this, you need to consider your cap date and your useful life.
You could in theory have all assets with a cap date of the day you go live, and have all of the useful lifes that which is the difference between the actual useful life and the age of the asset. This should in theory work if ALL of your assets work on straight line dep.
Lastly an issue to consider would be around the open items/ balances of the assets GL accounts and dep accounts, make sure you dont count it twice.

  • Group aset depreciation question

    Hello everyone
    I have a question in the depreciation for a group asset.
    That is my question:
    I have create a group asset with some component assets.
    After that,  i have found  all the calculation of depreciation are made in the group asset(what is normal for me), but with the useful life of the group asset for all the components(10 years for exemple).
    In the component cards, i have put some different useful lives(5 and 10 years).
    So is it normal  that FI AA make this kind of depreciation with the useful life of the group asset?
    Thanks a lot.
    Youqiao

    Youquiao,
    The depreciation group works when you have a similars assets. If you have some different at this group, the SAP look for a item not from a group, then "normally" when you run the depreciation (AFAB) the SAP return with a error at this item, if the SAP not return, its look from a item and post a depreciatin individually.

  • Question about Depreciation Posting Run

    Thanks a lot

    Hi,
    To my limited knowledge, one can deactivate the assets after transfering the value from the to be deactivated asset.
    As per the generally accepted accounting principles, assets with value should have an impact in our financial statment.  In SAP, deactivating assets means, wrongly created assets which will not have any value and will not have impact any of your financial books of accounts.
    I think, you are looking for a functionality, where you do not want to depreciate the assets (ex. Land).  If it is so, you can give the Zero percentage by creating a new dep. key if you are using depreciation key based calculation of depreciation.
    Hope it clears your doubt,
    Regards

  • Some question about asset depreciation value?

    In our system, there is a asset acquisition value 3297600, use life 5 years.
    We use Straight line to calculate depreciation value of one month is 3297600 / 5 / 12 => 54960, this asset will be completed depreciation in 2011/08,
    Original Value

    When our user transfer other asset value to this asset, the asset depreciation becomes a strange value.
    The User trasnfers two asset value to this asset. The first asset transfered 303090 (Asset acquisition 3030900, Accumulated depreciation -2727810) in 2011/03/31, The second asset transfer 12480 (Asset acquisition 149,760, Accumulated depreciation -137,280)  in 2011/04/30

    I don't know why the SAP calculated depreciation period becomes to 2011/11?
    How can I change the asset depreciation value to "User expects the deprecaition value"?

    Hi,
    In SAP there are different settings depending if you what the additional incoming charges to depreciate with independent start dates, versus all subsequent acquisitions to an asset record adopting the existing "Capitalized on" date in master data for the very first acquisition to record.
    Are you getting the other option not desired?

  • Calculation of Tax Depreciation - India

    Hi,
    We are following the New GL Accounting setup to our US based client in India.
    My Leading Ledger (US) is Jan u2013 Dec and Non-leading Ledger (India) is April u2013 March.
    We also created different Fiscal Year variants (Year Dependent) as S1 and IN for both the Co codes.
    I have defined and activated Non-leading ledger for India Company code.
    All the transactions were posting correctly as per Leading and Non-leading ledgers except Tax Depreciation in Fixed Assets.
    I was able to post correct depreciation for India Company Act Depreciation area with a stated percentage. But the Tax depreciation area calculation is incorrect.
    Required Depreciation Calculation for Tax Depreciation Area as below:
    For Acquires & Additions:
    Rule1: If it is >=180 days (as per Non-leading ledger Fiscal year) the system should calculate depreciation as stated percentage. Eg: 10%
    Rule2:
    If it is <180 days (as per Non-leading ledger Fiscal year) the system should calculate depreciation of 50% on stated percentage. Eg: Stated percentage is 10%, then it should be 5%.
    I already copied India standard setting IT & NL to my fiscal year variant in Calender assignments of Period controls. But when I tried to post the Tax Depreciation in the month of March as per Non-leading ledger, the system is calculating full Depreciation as per Rule1 instead of 50% of stated Percentage in Rule2.
    Can any one of you kindly advice how to setup the Multi levels methods and Period controls for Tax Depreciation key in Indian Tax Depreciation area as per above requirement. I have been working on this since one week. Please help me.
    Thanks for the help.
    Regards,
    JBC

    I am not sure if this work.. but give it a try.
    In your multi-level method line 1 put Acq yr = 9999, Year = 999, Per = 6, Percent = 50
    line 2 put Acq yr = 9999, Year = 999, Per = 12, Percent = 10
    Now what i dont understand from your question is that is this rule for the first acquisition year only?
    If so, also try with Acq yr = 9999, Year = 1 (so only the first acq yr will get calculated based on the percentage).
    Try this in your sandbox and let me know if it works or not!!

  • Mid quarter depreciation without setting the mid period

    Hello All,
    Thank you for taking time to read my question.
    When AA went live, half monthly data for the company code was not maintained (while it should have been maintained 15 as the mid period). Since the half period is not configured, I am not able to set the mid month setting in OAVH. Now the taxes are calculated with an additional 15 days when specifying mid quarter when using period method control 005. The company code went live last year October and SAP will not allow updating the mid period from blank to 15.
    Have anyone dealt with such a situation? I planned on defining a new period control key and assign it to a custom period method control. But still not able to get the depreciation value correct to the mid quarter.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    AM

    What do you mean without mid period setting? Is this OAVH? Anyway, you can try this.
    Use of Half Months in the Company Code
    In this step, you determine the company codes in which you want to use half periods. In this way, you can calculate depreciation in these company codes on the basis of half months or half periods.  Using this method, you can work with 24 periods in Asset Accounting, although the fiscal year version in Financial Accounting has only 12 normal periods (without using a different fiscal year version for Asset Accounting).
    You should be aware, however, that the specifications for periods in the transactions in Asset Accounting (such as, useful life) have to be based on whole periods (12).
    Example
    Half periods are, for example, necessary to represent the "mid quarter/month rule". This is a version widely used in the U.S.A. With this rule, it is important for the determination of depreciation whether an acquisition takes place in the first or the second half of a period.
    Caution
    When you specify the use of half periods in the definition of an asset company code, half periods are automatically specified in all other company codes that use this fiscal year version.
    You cannot use half periods with non-calendar fiscal months.
    You cannot take back the use of half periods once the specification has been made.  It is noted internally by the system in the asset master records.
    Requirements
    The number of the posting periods in the fiscal year version used must correspond to the number of calendar months (12).
    Activities
    1. Specify the use of half periods by entering the date (for example, the 15th) for the middle of the period for the company codes.
    2. If you have defined period controls yourself
    (see Period Control),
    you must provide for the use of half periods in their assignment rules. For monthly and quarterly periods, corresponding period controls have already been created as standard in the system.
    Thanks!

    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 ??

  • Sample JAVA Mobile Server Publish code, and technical questions

    Dear Oracle technical representative, or user:
    I need to programmatically create, and remove publications using the pure JAVA classes of Consolidator, ConsolidatorManager, and ResourceManager for the Mobile Server in OracleLite 9i Release 5.0.1. On the creation side I have managed to get the example found in the directory OraLite501\Mobile\Server\Sample\Sample11 functioning using my installation parameters. I had a very difficult time of it because (1) the sample11 code fails to open an jdbc connection to the Mobile Server Repository Schema with the function Consolidator.OpenConnection, and (2) the ResourceManager function openConnection will not work unless the Webtogo.ora file is in the current working directory. The ConsolidatorManager function OpenConnection may also not work unless the Webtogo.ora file is in the current working directory, but I did test the hypothesis. Both of these problems need to be addressed in the sample11 code, and documentation to save other software developers from wasting hours of their valuable time. See line 223, 386, and 448 in the Publish.Java code that follows this problem description.
    With the above two problems resolved, I can now programmatically create publications, but no hints on how to programmatically remove a publication exist in the documentation. The application I am developing will require the dynamic creation, and removal of publications. Also, when developing applications the complete removal of a publication is absolutely necessary when you have botched a publication. Thus my first question is What sequence of ResourceManager, and ConsolidatorManager function calls will completely remove a Publication?.
    I also have two issues remaining with the code that I have so far developed. These issues will most likely be resolved, when I obtain instructions on how to completely remove a publication, and associated users. But, perhaps not. Referencing the Publish.java file that follows this problem description,
         1. The ResourceManager function dropUser does not drop a user. See my comments, and code beginning at line 277 in Publish.java. Do I need to de-instantiate all subscriptions, and unsubscribe all subscription users before calling this function.? I think, I tried the de-instantiate, unsubscribe sequence without success, but in the confusion I may not have made the try.
         2. How do I get rid of an index created with the ConsolidatorManager function DropPublicationItemIndex?. My comments on this problem begin at line 522 in Publish.java. For some reason the DropPublicationItemIndex function call made below line 448 does not work. What function calls are required prior to calling the DropPublicationItemIndex function?
    Throughout the Publish.java code, I have made comments about some of the problems that I have had in getting the sample11 code working for my installation parameters. I think these comments should help the programmers maintaining the ResourceManager, and ConsolidatorManager code improve the stability of the programs. Please pass these comments, and attached files to the appropriate individuals,
    if you are in a position to do so.
    The other files that follow the Publish.java code are
         1. Compile.bat - Compiles Publish.java using j2sdk1.4.0.
         2. Run.bat - Executes Publish using \ j2sdk1.4.0\jre\server\jvm.dll.
         3. Webtogo.ora
         4. tnsnames.ora for the Mobile Server.
         5. tnsnames.ora for the Database.
    Feel free to access my server if you need to do so in resolving my problems. The parameters you will need to gain access can be found at the top of Publish.java, and in the included *.ora files.
    Thanks,

    Dear Oracle technical representative, or user:
    I need to programmatically create, and remove publications using the pure JAVA classes of Consolidator, ConsolidatorManager, and ResourceManager for the Mobile Server in OracleLite 9i Release 5.0.1. On the creation side I have managed to get the example found in the directory OraLite501\Mobile\Server\Sample\Sample11 functioning using my installation parameters. I had a very difficult time of it because (1) the sample11 code fails to open an jdbc connection to the Mobile Server Repository Schema with the function Consolidator.OpenConnection, and (2) the ResourceManager function openConnection will not work unless the Webtogo.ora file is in the current working directory. The ConsolidatorManager function OpenConnection may also not work unless the Webtogo.ora file is in the current working directory, but I did test the hypothesis. Both of these problems need to be addressed in the sample11 code, and documentation to save other software developers from wasting hours of their valuable time. See line 223, 386, and 448 in the Publish.Java code that follows this problem description.
    With the above two problems resolved, I can now programmatically create publications, but no hints on how to programmatically remove a publication exist in the documentation. The application I am developing will require the dynamic creation, and removal of publications. Also, when developing applications the complete removal of a publication is absolutely necessary when you have botched a publication. Thus my first question is What sequence of ResourceManager, and ConsolidatorManager function calls will completely remove a Publication?.
    I also have two issues remaining with the code that I have so far developed. These issues will most likely be resolved, when I obtain instructions on how to completely remove a publication, and associated users. But, perhaps not. Referencing the Publish.java file that follows this problem description,
         1. The ResourceManager function dropUser does not drop a user. See my comments, and code beginning at line 277 in Publish.java. Do I need to de-instantiate all subscriptions, and unsubscribe all subscription users before calling this function.? I think, I tried the de-instantiate, unsubscribe sequence without success, but in the confusion I may not have made the try.
         2. How do I get rid of an index created with the ConsolidatorManager function DropPublicationItemIndex?. My comments on this problem begin at line 522 in Publish.java. For some reason the DropPublicationItemIndex function call made below line 448 does not work. What function calls are required prior to calling the DropPublicationItemIndex function?
    Throughout the Publish.java code, I have made comments about some of the problems that I have had in getting the sample11 code working for my installation parameters. I think these comments should help the programmers maintaining the ResourceManager, and ConsolidatorManager code improve the stability of the programs. Please pass these comments, and attached files to the appropriate individuals,
    if you are in a position to do so.
    The other files that follow the Publish.java code are
         1. Compile.bat - Compiles Publish.java using j2sdk1.4.0.
         2. Run.bat - Executes Publish using \ j2sdk1.4.0\jre\server\jvm.dll.
         3. Webtogo.ora
         4. tnsnames.ora for the Mobile Server.
         5. tnsnames.ora for the Database.
    Feel free to access my server if you need to do so in resolving my problems. The parameters you will need to gain access can be found at the top of Publish.java, and in the included *.ora files.
    Thanks,
    Thomas G. Matney

  • Unable to assign the depreciation area to co. code

    Hi,
    I am getting the below message
    Inconsistency between FI company code BHEL and chart of deprec. BHEL
    Message no. AC481
    Diagnosis
    You tried to assign chart of depreciation BHEL to company code BHEL. According to its Customizing definition, this company code manages parallel currencies.
    The chart of depreciation does not contain a corresponding depreciation area for each of the currency types that are defined in the company code.
    System Response
    This assignment is not possible.
    Procedure
    1. Check the currency types of the company code.
    2. Specify a corresponding depreciation area for each currency type.
    Please any one explain the way to resolve.
    Thanks,
    Rajesh.

    Hello Rajesh,
    Please search the asset accounting forum.  A lot has been written on this very question already.  I would have included a link but I have noticed that, sometimes when I answer a question, someone for some obvious reason deletes the question or subject to which I provided an answer.
    Regards,

  • Incorrect Planned Depreciation after posting unplanned depreciation

    Hello Everyone,
    We have encountered a case whereas an asset acquired in April 2008 with 5 years useful life was planned to be fully depreciated in period 2 of 2009. Below are the details and postings done:
    1 - NBV -> 1,056,143.00
    2 - Posted Write-up -> 18,054.00
    3 - Posted Unplanned depreciation -> 1,038,992.23- (the system actually issued that only the amount of 835,445 can be posted as unplanned dep. In order to bypass this, user changed the dep key to MANU then changing it back after the unplanned posting)
    4 - Posted Ordinary Dep for Period 1 of 2009 -> 19,892
    5 - Planned Ordinary Dep for Period 2 of 2009 -> 15,312.77-
    Once the amount of 15,312.77 is posted, the asset will have Zero NBV.
    *My question is: Why did the system posted the 15,312.77 in period 2 only and not spread the amount until 2013 since the asset's useful life is for 5 years (until 2013).
    We have tried recalculation of values and the planned depreciation remains the same for period 2.
    Hope someone can help.
    Thank you in advance.

    Hello Vinod,
    Period control is 004 which is configured in AFAMP having 01 - Pro rata at period start date for Acquisition, Acquisition in the following year, Retirement and trasfer. Does it have anything to do with the start of depreciation?
    Also, when we adjust the ord dep start date to < April 26, the original planned depreciation is not affected for the current FY but only the next FY and moving forward.
    For example:
    Asset worth 12,000 to be depreciated in 10 years
    1 - Alrready in period 3 and 200 has been posted
    2 - Posted unplanned dep of 800
    3 - Total planned dep for this year did not change (1,200)
    4 - System calculated for current year depreciation 1200 (planned) + 800 (unplanned) = 2000
    5 - And for the next years 12,000 - 2,000 = 10,000 / 9 years
    Should it not be that that 12,000 - 1,000 (200 planned + 800 unplanned) = 11,000 / 9 years and 9 months?
    It seems that the unplanned depreciation affected the depreciation computation of the asset only in the next FY.
