  • Issue on Ordinary Depreciation Start Date and Disposal of Asset

    Hi All.
    I am facing the following the issues.
    Fiscal Year is from July - June
    First Problem: Company acquired the asset Vehicle on 26.Dec.2008. System proposes Ordinary Depreciation Start Date as 01.Jan.2009 rather then proposing Ordinary Depreciation Start Date as 01.Dec.2008.
    Since depreciation for previous year has been posted the client later found out that instead of calculating depreciation for 7 months depreciation was only calculated for 6 months. I tried to manually change the dep. start date but the system doesnot update the previous years values, it's still calculating depreciation for 6 months and not 7 months. Is there anyway in updating the previous fiscal years depreciation values.
    2nd Problem: I created a test case scenario today i.e. 16.09.2009 by creating and capitalizing an asset vehicle. Once I capitalized the asset the system automatically proposed the start date as 01.10.2009 and not 01.09.2009 which is what i require. What setting do i need to check or maintain in order to solve this issue because the user does not want to manually change the date each time an asset is created.
    3rd Problem: Similar to this now when client disposes of an asset suppose on 10.Feb.2009 (FY2009). The system calculates depreciation till the month in which disposal takes place (February), the client does not want this, their requirement is that depreciation should be calculated one month before disposal takes place i.e. in this case Dep should be calculated till Month of January.
    Your assistance will be highly appreciated.

    Hello Khan,
    The depreciation start date will get determined based on the period control method assigned to depreciation key,
    Period control methods are defined in transaction code : OAVH
    In period control method we will mention the depreciation start date for acquisition, additions and also depreciation end date for disposals, retirements.
    SAP has given some default period control keys. If any of these are not suitable to your requirement you can create on your own period control methods.

  • Calculate depreciation start date based on user defined field in asset

    Hi,
    I have a specific scenario where the start of depreciation date for asset needs to be calculated on user-specific logic.There is a additional field "installation date" in asset master screens.The requirement is that for depreciation areas 10 and 11 user wants that the depreciation start date to be calculated on the installation date rather than capitalization date.
    I tried using the exit AMAV0001 where we can change the asset value date which determines the depreciation date at the time of first acquistion to asset.But the problem is we can't change it as per depreciation area wise and thats why posting error was coming.
    Please suggest if any idea on this.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Adriano,
    in your example 2 issues influence the described behaviour:
    1) In your example the revaluation occurs in the capitalization year, in which all acquisitions (and revaluations) are managed under the period for the first acquisition. Only as of the year following the capitalization year the period control "pro rata" would really consider the revaluation or another acquistion as of period 4. In case you want the period control also being considered according to the posting period in the capitalization year, set the indicator XBZDAT with the correction report from note  92925.
    That should solve your issue.
    2) In case you use the new depreciation calculation engine you have the possibility to use individual period controls for revaluation also. This means you could specify period control for acquisitions as "pro rata" and for revaluations "next month". To realize this create a new transaction type for revalutions as described in note 1138166 . Unfortunately this feature is not possible with the old depreciation calculation engine.

  • How to post depreciation start date in next year?

    I have a problem in fix asset period control.
    We want to post the depreciation start date in the next two month after GR. I set the period control rule as:
    Fiscal Year Variant: K4, period control: Z1 (next 2 month), month: 12, day: 31, period: 13
    But no matter I set the period as 12, 13, 14, the depreciation start date always be 2012/1/1 (if the GR date is in December)
    How can I make the depreciation start date in the next year?

    Hi,
    Please try with period control 08  - At the end of the year (=Start date of following year).
    Regards

  • Exp.UL/Prd and depreciation start day

    we have several assets, original asset useful life is 5 years, now depreciated for 2 years, but we change group depreciation policy, so group depreciation will be 5 months(after five months, all assets will be zero NBV), we changed the asset useful life to be five months, but do we need to change original depreciation start day and Exp.UL/PRD in AS02?
    under which scenario we should change depreciation start day and Exp.UL/PRD ? thanks

    Hi,
    The change ofn Exp.UL/Prd and depreciation start should be no problem in AS02. Of course it effects only open fiscal years.
    When you change depreciation terms you must perform a recalculation  of the asset as the system will not automatically update these values.

  • Error: "Depreciation start date required in old assets data (please enter)"

    When , I use transaction AS91 , for an asset , with book depreciation key  = 0000, the system shows this error:"Depreciation start date required in old assets data (please enter)",
    somebody could help me with this please?

    Check if the depreciation start date has got populated in the tab for depreciation areas in AS91.

  • Depreciation for additions to start from the following month

    Hi Gurus,
    Have situation in depreciation posting, When acquisition happens depreciation has to start from next period on wards (Dep not to post in Acq period) this is working fine and good. (period control maintained as 11 for Acq)
    In the same way it has to apply for Additions if any happens for existing Acquisitions. Period control set as next month 11 for additions, but system making the posting in acquisition period itself including catchup of previous periods from oredinary dep starting.
    I want make the system to start depreciating dep from the following period rather than acquisition period for Additions and catcup dep also post in this from Ordinary depreciation start date .
    Example of Issue:
    Acquisitions:
    Acquisition happend in Period-01, dep started from next period "02"
    This working fine.
    Addiotions:
    Using the above example
    Addition happend in period-05, Dep started from-05 including the catch up dep of periods; 02,03,04,05.
    By right the depreciation posting has to starts in the following Perios 06, has to consider Catchup amounts also.
    Any help on the above are appreciated most.
    Points are available
    Thanks in advance,
    Vyas

    Hi Milosavljevic,
    On the above system behaviour is right, but we have to understand like below:
    What ever posted the Depreciation amount in the acquissition month it belongs to accumilation depreciation of the addition of asset ( from ordinary dep start date to untill acquissition period).These happend bcoz of catchup, the real depreciation was started from the following month onwards..
    Hope this understanding made me clear...
    If u able to find any thing better pla keep share..
    Others plz comment on this for better understanding.
    Thanks,
    Vyas

  • Depreciation posting start at period 3

    Hi,
    I have posted an asset acquisition as posting date 31 Jan 2015.
    Whereby, that would be my period 12/2014.
    It was noted that depreciation calculation is correct for p12/2014 but
    as for 2015, the depreciation start from period 3/2015, which is current period.
    It was noted that amount had been total up for period 1 to 3 in p3/015.
    Please advise how can I make to depreciate from p1/2015 instead of p3/2015.

    Hi Vani,
    Check have you maintained any shut down indicator for the asset. If it is calculated the depreciation for earlier periods, then there might be maintained the shut down indicator for the 2 periods and later overwrite it. So check the asset master data changes.

    Mukthar

  • Calculation of Tax Depreciation

    can u tell me How Can we calculate Tax Depreciation with out posting in Financial Records...for Income Tax Purpose....plz give me the configuration steps
    and also how can we show in reports,,....
    Thanks in Advance....
    Suresh

    Hi Suresh,
    I have set up a new depreciation are for tax reason you have to do the following steps:
    V_T093C_08   Specify Transfer Date/Last Closed Fiscal Year
    (Take over date, last day of the last fiscal year)
    VC_T093U03  Specify Sequence of Depreciation Areas Set-up area 67
    (plase the new depreciation area on top)
    VC_ANKB_01 Determine Depreciation Areas in the Asset Class
    (Assign new depreciation area to asset classes wirh default values
    V_TABWA Define Transaction Types for Acquisitions
    ( Created transaction type to make a acquisition posting in only the new depreciation area)
    V_T093_00 Define Depreciation Areas
    (created new depreciation Area)
    To run AFBN - New Depreciation Area to ad the new depreciation area's to the existing assets
    I created 2 LSMW's
    1. To up-date the assets from last year with the correct depreciation key, depreciation start date (when you chage this you have to change exp. UL live to blanc, SAP recalculate this) Do this upload not for deactivated assets this year. (the first collum is than not the new depr area in AS92
    2. To uplad the acquisition value for the Capitalized assets this year (using the new tranaction type to post only in the new area) transaction ABSO.
    The best is to test this first and to do year-end closing for this year.

  • Calculation of depreciation and interest for a particular asset class

    Hi,
    I have a problem with the calculation of depreciation and interest for a particular asset class. The assets are financial leases. The depreciation key defined is LEAS. The following are the attributes of this key:
    Dep/int             phase     base met dec-bal prd cont mult lvl chn ov
    Ord.depreciation     1     0011     001     006     001        5
    Ord.depreciation     2     0002     001     003     003
    Interest             1     0028     001     003     010
    An example of an asset is:
    Aquisition value: 1041552.71 (as migrated on 01.04.2007)
    Ordinary dep already posted: 56243.88
    Net book value: 985308.83
    Scrap Value:729086.90
    Useful life: 50 years
    Expired useful life: 9 years 1 month
    Remaining useful life: 40 years 11 months.
    Depreciation start date: 28.03.1998
    Interest calculation start date:30.03.1997
    Depreciation calculated by the system:6261.83
    Interest calculated in the year:15682.68
    I'm not able to undersatnd on what basis the system calculated the interest. I will be thankful if anyone can help me resolve this. An early reply will be greatly appreciated as I'm facing major problems due to this issue.

    Hi Mahesh,
    As per my analysis of the case the interest rates are as under
    Acq. Year                                                    Int.Percent
    9999     4          01     10.%
    9999     7          01     5.%
    9999     25          01     2.5%
    9999     999     12     01     2.5%
    As per this the Acquisition value less the Scrap Value Rs.312,465.00 @ 2.5% p.a will be Rs. 7811.64.
    Based on the above you analyse for which period interest is calculated.
    Hope it will help.

    Vijay

  • 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.
