Different Year of closing in different Depreciation Areas

Hello Asset Gurus, we are on ECC 5.0 and we did in 2009 activate a new depreciation area 32 in two of our chart of accounts to make them same as the other two chart of deprections for easy inter-company asset transfers. We did use AFBN to activate this new depreciation area and completed year-end.
However we were implementing SRM project usings a parallel quality system and in the process, somehow got the fiscal year closed for depreciation area to be 2007 instead of 2009. The OAAQ show that the fiscal year close for all company codes is 2009 but OAAR show that the fiscal year closed to be 2007 for depreciation are 32.
We need to resolve this before we get this year-end and want to know if you guys have any idea in during this directly in the production system using OAAR or some other transaction and what are the draw backs, if any.
Thanks for your feedback.

ji,
You can change the last closed FY for a single dep area direclty in OAAR.
Hope your FY is APR to March
Then first close the FY 2009 by AJAB.
And open Fy 2010 by AJRW
Now change the last closed FY to 2007 in OAAR for 32 area.
No other implications in this regard till the next year end closing of FY 2010. Means to open FY 2011 in AJRW in next year, you must close Fi-AA till FY 2009 atleast. Coz you can open only 2 years at a time in FI-AA.
Thanks,
Srinu

  • Revaluation of depreciation for prior year in alternative depreciation area

    Hi,
    I have a problem with a couple of assets. We are using 2 depreciation areas - one for statutory depreciation that is posted against GL accounts and one for fiscal purposes, which is only statistical.
    For some assets the depreciation key in the alternative, fiscal depreciation area was wrong in last two fiscal years. Is it possible to reopen that old fiscal years and change the depreciation area to correct one and revaluate the depreciation only in that parallel depreciation area? If yes - which steps should i carry out in SAP? This depreciation area does not affect GL accounts posting - so I hope it is possible.
    Thank you,
    Karol

    Hi Murali,
    Thank you for your reply.
    My only concern is - I don't want to affect the other depreciation areas (in case anything changed in their depreciation keys).
    Is there a way to just open past years only for this particular depreciation area and to rerun depreciation just for it?
    I thought of OAAR transaction - undo year end closing by Depreciation area - just to focus on it. Do you think it might work the same as AJRW, or should I use AJRW?
    Can I  run AFAR only for the selected depreciation area and it will not affect any other depreciaton area? We are using 4.6C version.
    Thank you,
    Karol

  • Assets Year-end closing

    Hi
    One of our group companies are facing the issue below.
    *. When trying to run any asset transaction the error message "Fiscal year change in co.code J002 possible only after year-end closing 2008" . We are currently in 2010 in financial accounting.
    AJRW -Change to new FY 2009 was successful, but for 2010 the same error msg above is displayed.
    *AJAB -FY close
    - 2008 : The planned depreciation was not completely posted to Financial Accounting for asset 000000300090-0000 in company code J002 in depreciation area 01.
    When I check AW01N, there is a planned depreciation amount for 2008 period 12. However, depreciation has been completed for 2009. If I try to a repeat run for 2008 in test mode there is a value coming up. The issue is posting periods are close. Current financial period is in 2010.
    Your assistance is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Nadini

    The following are the important steps you must keep in mind while closing asset accounting.
    1. Recalculate all asset values AFAR
    2. Run program RAUNVA00
    3. Run program RAANLA01
    4. If you find any unposted assets in step 3 delete them if you do not want in AS06 / AS26 (group assets)
    5. Update your insurance index OAV5 (if necessary)
    6. Run your regular month end closing process.
    7. Reconcile FI-AA with GL accounting - transaction code ABST
    8. AJRW - Fiscal Year change
    9. AJAB - Close fiscal year
    10. reopen the fiscal year OAAQ (if only necessary)
    11. Perform all year end closing steps.
    Thanks,

  • Undo Year end closing for Asset

    Hi,
    I need to undo year end posting for Asset and recalculate depreciation according to the changed laws.
    Is there any prerequisite/constraints to be taken care of before running OAAR(undo year end closing) and AJAB(year end closing) after required postings are done. Any other financial impact does these transactions have apart from the desired depreciation calculation?
    Any help in understanding the scenario will be highly appreciated.
    Regards
    Shilpa

    Hii
    Difference between the two transaction code are
    OAAR-undo by depreciation area
    OAAQ-undo by company code.
    in the first one u r only opening the depreciaiton area that is already closed.
    and in later u r opening whole company code
    Yes after the new depreciation run it will be adjusted but while running u need to select repeat run in T.Code AFABN.
    Through repeat run it will take into consideration the changed values and again calculates the depreciation.
    so values will be adjusted.
    Thanks

  • Use of Different Fiscal Year Variant-Statistical Depreciation Area Postings

    An existing Company Code in SAP is going to have Fixed Assets implemented.  This Company Code is setup just like the others in our SAP instance: Same Chart of Accounts, Same Fiscal Year Variant, Fixed Asset procedures, etc.  For purposes of this question our company's Fiscal Year is from August 1st to July 31st.  In addition, this Company Code will post Fixed Assets just like the other SAP enabled Company Codes into Book Depreciation Area 01.  The company I work with is on ECC 6 but we use the Classic Ledger for Financials, and the Special Ledger is posted to but not really utilized.
    For the Country Specific/Tax Reporting purposes within Fixed Asset Accounting we have created a Statistical Depreciation Area 03 (I will call it Tax) with its own Life and Depreciation Key assignments with a setting of 0 in OADB-No Posting in GL for this Fixed Asset go-live, so I think we are set there.  The tricky part comes in the reporting.  The country in question requires information to be generated on a Calendar Year basis, which is obviously different than the Fiscal Year outlined above.  To my knowledge we would have to assign Tax Depreciation Area 03 to the Calendar Fiscal Year Variant: Financial Accounting>>Asset Accounting>>Valuation>>Fiscal Year>>Fiscal Year Variants>>Specify Other Versions on Depreciation Area Level. 
    The other piece of this is to get the Fixed Asset Reporting for Tax Depreciation Area 03 to work on a Calendar Year basis for the Company Code in question.  When I did some research I stumbled upon the link below.  In summary it says that you have to manipulate the standard Fixed Assets reports in Excel for Asset Acquisitions and Depreciation, and setup a new Retirement routine/transaction for posting into the Special Depreciation Area.
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/05/bc0bf3d8f811d1953e0000e82debf7/content.htm
    My questions are:
    1) Besides assigning a different Fiscal Year Variant for Tax Depreciation Area 03, is there anything else I need to worry about on the setup end?
    2) Is the article I posted accurate when it comes to how the reporting works and the need for setting up a Calendar Year specific Asset Retirement Routine?  If so, what are the configuration steps for setting up a Calendar Year specific Asset Retirement Routine?
    3) Is there anything else that I need to consider for enabling Fixed Assets at an existing Company Code with different Reporting requirements for Book/Tax purposes?
    Thanks in advance for all responses.  I am willing to answer any other questions on this subject if needed.
    Roman

    Hello Rio.  In our scenario, we still had to load assets in the legal entity with this issue.  When we loaded the fixed asset data into SAP we did with data accurate as of December 31, 2011; which for book purposes is 5 months into our company's fiscal year, and for tax purposes is the end of the 2011 calendar year.  The calendarized reporting for the tax depreciation will need to be pieced together manually using the SAP recommended methodology of combining report values, which I have pasted below.
    Since this is the only SAP-enabled entity that has this scenario right now we are in wait and see mode to see if this sufficient.  In the end the SAP path for Dual Calendar was too much of a risk.
    I hope this helps.

  • Closing Cockpit: Different Fiscal Year Variant in Task List

    Dear All,
    I want to implement the closing cockpit for several bukrs who have different fiscal year variants. I have definied one template for all bukrs. When creating a task list I only have the possibility to define one fiscal year variant for the selection variables. I could use my own selection variables from TVARV but nonetheless when choosing the template/task list the fiscal year variant is shown "wrong" for some of the bukrs. I do not want to design a template for each fiscal variant. Are there any ways to solve this problem?
    Thanks for your help!
    Cathrine

    Hi,
    I am afraid this is not possible. Please see the SAP notes
    152888 - Different fiscal year variants in FI-AA
    1493253 - Different fiscal year variants in FI-AA (II)
    There are a restrictions for different fiscal year variants in asset accounting. This also applies to NewGL. There is a workaround with another depreciation area but I have never tried it.
    Kind Regards,
    Steffen

  • Define depreciation areas with different fiscal yr variant under 1 cod.

    Hi FICO Gurus,
    I am a new student in FICO, here i have a question as following, ask for help,
    Does anyone know how to define depreciation areas with different fiscal year variant under one chart of depreciation?
    Such as:
    Book Keeping Fiscal Year Variant 1: Jun-15-2007 to Jun-14-2008, Non-Calendar Month
    Tax Calculation Fiscal Year Variant 2: Jul-01-2007 to Jun-30-2008, Calendar Month
    So far as I know, SAP provides Specify Different Fiscal Year Variants on Depreciation Area. But it requires the same starting date and ending date for fiscal year variants.
    Right now, the scenario here is different book fiscal year variant and tax depreciation fiscal year variant with different time span.
    Does Anyone know feasible and tested solutions?
    Any responses will be awarded.
    Thanks a lot!
    Samson

    I believe - and this is only my belief - (haven't tried it before) - you can define Depreciation Areas like you wanted.
    Broadly, the steps to do this would be:
    Create a Chart of Depreciation and create two Depreciation Areas within this for your Company.
    The chart of Depreciation will be assigned to the company code level, so you are okay there.
    Now create a FYV corresponding to the June 15 - June 14 depreciation year and assign these to the Company Code using the menu path:
    Asset Accounting --> Valuation --> Fiscal Year --> Fiscal Year Variants --> Specify other versions on Depreciation Area Level.
    Here, pick your company code and you should see both the areas assigned to it. Assign the FYV as required and then check to see if it works.
    Like I mentioned before, this is only a random thought. Haven't tried this before.
    Cheers.

  • Different depreciation rates in different years

    Hi ,
    I have come across a situation in which client wants that different depreciation rates should be charged in different years.
    For example 10% in 1st year, 7.5 % in 2nd year, 6 % in 3rd year, 4.5% in 4 years and so on .
    Asset life should be assumed to be 10 years .
    How can we map this in SAP.Please provide detail explanation.
    Regards
    Nike

    Dear,
    Nike Sam.
    I supposed your issue seems relating to MACRS depreciation I think. If so then you have to use the multi level method in depreciation key. 
    Please note the your case is like MACRS depreciation so according to me you will get standard depreciation key for MACRS is
    M200 & M150. However you can study them & configure as suits to your needs.
    Perfom this on test client first. If you have any doubts feel free to share. You are welcome.

  • How to post depreciation to different depreciation areas

    Hi,
    Can any body explain how to post depreciation to different dep areas other than 01 book dep,
    and how to take the reports according GAAP and IAS.
    Regards,
    prasad

    Hi,
    When you create depreciation areas like Book, Tax, Costing etc., the system posts values like APC and Depreciation simultaneously in all the areas. You don't need to do any thing.
    Just posting values through F-90, F-92, etc and for Depreciation AFABN.
    This above holds good as long as you are posting to a single ledger.
    The above answer is slightly different in case you are having parallel ledgers. Let me explain by taking an example.
    Lets assume you are implementing for an Indian client whose parent compnay is in Dutch.
    As per Indian GAAP you need to submit the local reporting on April to March basis and for Ducth Jan - Dec.
    Assets in Indian GAAP are capitalised with values including frieght, Installation and trial run till Commencement date lets say @ 20%
    Assets in Ducth GAAP are capitalised with only Cost, Frieght & Insurance (This is only an example) and the depreciation rate is 15%.
    In this scenario you will be creating two ledgers(IN SAP sense and not the accounting GLs)  with different fiscal year variants and will be defining Leding ledger and Non leading ledgers and Ledger Groups.
    IN this case lets assueme Indian GAAP is Leading ledger and Dutch GAAP is Non Leading ledger and a ledger Group lets say "LG"
    When you post using the transation code FB01L you will be using ledgers or ledger groups that are effecting with this transaction.
    If you use the regular T codes without using the Ledger Groups, System posts the transaction to all ledgers simultaneously.
    When You want to post the transaction as I said in the above example, you will be using FB01L like capitalising total cost in "LeadingLedger" and upto CIF value to "Non leading ledger"
    NOw from the configuration front you will be creating seperate set of Depreciation keys for each GAAP and will be creating a  depereciation area for Dutch GAAP.
    You will also need to create a derived depreciation area which is the difference of Book Dep Area (as per Leading Ledger) and teh Duthc GAAP depreciation area (Non leading ledger). You can use the Wizard here which will guide you.
    For Book depreciation are its always realtime posting and for other areas its periodic posting. i.e. as a monthend process you need to do,
    For this you need to run TCODE ASKBN (Periodical posting ) anad AFABN.
    ASKBN checks for the difference in APCs, Depreciations, Loss or gain on account of retirements differently for diffrent depreciation areas and posts the values.
    When it comes to reporting all Standard reports will give you the flexibility of taking the reports based on Depreciation areas.
    You have a TCODE "OARP" where in you will get all the asset related transaction reports.
    The above scenerio is explained with an assumption of you using SAP Version above 4.7EE.
    Reward if you find this explanation useful.

  • Different Aquisition Value (APC) for group and local depreciation area?

    Hello,
    Is it possible to have different APC/acquisition value in your group and local depreciation area? We want to book the net book value as APC for local depreciation area while gross APC and accumulated depreciation are recorded in group depreciation area.
    Group Depreciation Area
    APC- 100
    Accum Dep- 20
    Local Depreciation Area
    APC-80
    I'd highly appreciate if you can give inputs.

    Hi,
    You did exactly whats required to acheive your requirement.
    There is no more further implications by removing the tick for a while and reverting after go live.
    While doing AS91, if you enter the APC value for 01 area, then that value will be automatically populated to the other dependent areas of 01 area. ( In case, if your other areas are in diff currency also, system will converts the 01 area value in to other area's curr by taking the exch rate).
    Here you can still change the APC values for the all other areas. (The other areas should have been unticked for Identical APC value check box in OABC).
    So while creating AS91, in tkaover values tab, enter APC value 80 in your 01 area and manually change the value in your group area. (REmove 80 and enter 100).
    For accum dep, in takeover values tab, enter accum dep 20 in group area only. (like OABC, in OABD also the other areas should be unticked for the identical value check box).
    This will resolve your issue.
    Thanks,
    Srinu

  • Different Transaction Types for Different Depreciation Areas

    Dear Friends,
    When I am viewing the asset explorer for the asset, it is oberved that for book derpreciation 01, the asset transaction type "acquisition value" is updated and am able to view the same.
    However when I am going through the tax depreciation area, the transaction type intercompany transfer" got updated and the acquisition values are not updated.
    I would like know the reason of how the system is going to update different transaction types in different depreciation areas since the postings only takes effect in book depreciation and same should be diplayed for tax depreciation.
    Thanks in advance!

    hi
    go to OAYA
    select        "Limit Transaction Types to Depreciation Areas"
    select the trnsaction type you using .
    select depreciation area specification
    and maintain entries for every dep area you want to maintain for transaction type.

  • Posting for different APC values to different Depreciation Areas

    Hi All,
    I am trying to manage in ECC 6.0, different APC values for different depreciation areas, i.e. APC values differ from one dep area to another. I need to post the APC to GL only (i.e. for the 01 i.e. Book Depreciation area). For the remaining depreciation areas for the purposes of reporting I need to maintain different APC values.
    One way to achieve this is by maintaining Parallel ledger. Is there any other way this can be achieved.
    Thanks in advance
    Krishna

    Hi,
    Use the trnasaction ABSO and clik in the button Dep. Area.
    Now you can fill in the value by depreciation area. (when this is set up) use the Trans act type 100

  • Different Asset value dates for different depreciation areas

    Hi All
    I have a requirement for different capitalization dates in different depreciation areas for some LATAM countries .How can this be achieved?

    Hi
    Hope you can achive this requirement by entering Depreciation calculation start date in depreciation area tab of asset master against each depreciation area
    Depreciation calculation start date
    'As a general rule, the system determines the depreciation start date from the asset value date of the first acquisition posting. However, you can also manually enter a calendar date in the asset master record for the start of depreciation. In that case, the system ignores the asset value date of the acquisition posting.'
    Please check different scenarios in development system and then do it
