Explain for me about depreciation areas

Hi everybody
please explain for me about depreciation areas.

How about depreciation areas?
Thanks so much

Hi
Depreciation areas are used for different scenarios for calculating your depreciation. Normally you will have to calculate depreciation like book depreciation, tax depreciation, net worth depreciation, and like. These can be represented in depreciation areas and the depreciation area 01 (book depreciation) posts in real time as you said.
Am I clear ?

Ask about "depreciation area"

Hi everybody!
I'm a new employee about SAP. I have some problem about "depreciation area", such as:
- When I "creat asset". Why I click about "depreciation area", It doesn't appear anything. Although I configured FA.
It notice "Depreciation area difined not in asset"
I hope everybody answer early for me
Thanks so much

Depreciation needs to be activated in an asset class to carry the depreciatio values of the aset class.
Check whether any depreciation areas are activated for your asset class in OAYZ. YOu also need to assign a depreciation key and a screen layout in OAYZ.

AA implement aaset value for only one depreciation area

Hi,
Is it possible change acquisition value of asset for only one depreciation area, the area 20 for example?
By point of view of FI I can post the accounts of area 20 by trx OASV,
but in AA how can I do?
If I use the trx AB01 the acquisition value is modified in every area.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

You upload the values in AM with the transaction AS91, this don't create postings in FI. It is possible to upload different values by depreciation area.
With the transaction OASV you create manual the total postings in FI. An other option is to use the transaction ABF1 (search on this forum with ABF1 how it is working)
When an area post direct you have to use the transaction OASV (asset account is reconcilation accounts) for the other area you can use a standard FI posting.
When you use AB01 you can create you own transaction type and limet them to one depreciation area or a group (tray to play with Tty 147, there you can fill in amounts by depreciation area.)

Depreciation calculation for Indian Tax Depreciation Area - Fixed Assets

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.
My Leading ledger Fiscal year: Jan u2013 Dec (Year dependend)
And Non-leading ledger (India) Fiscal year: April u2013 March (Year dependend)
I was able to post correct depreciation for leading and non-leading ledger Depreciation areas with a stated percentage. But the calculation of Tax depreciation area is incorrect.
As per client requirement, Tax depreciation area is setup only reporting purpose and no Depreciation posting.
Required Depreciation Calculation for Tax Depreciation Area:
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%.
Early responses will be appreciated.
Thanks much for the help.

Creating depreciation area for non leading ledger

Hi,
I want to configurate a depreciation area for a non-leading ledger. This is my scenario:
01-Accounting area leading ledger. Group legder: 0L (on line)
02- Accounintg area non leading ledger. Group ledger N1 (Area posts APC only directly)
03-Depreciation non leading ledger. Grouo ledger N1 (Area posts depreciation only)
Is it correct to created this 2 areas for non leading ledger?
Thanks,
Cecilia

Hi Cecilia,
additionally to my colleagues:
For each additional set of accounting principles, you create one real and one derived depreciation area.
Real Depreciation Area:
1. In Customizing for Financial Accounting (New), choose Asset Accounting - Valuation - Depreciation Areas -Define Depreciation Areas.
2. Assign both depreciation areas to the same ledger group.
The ledger group you assign them to is not allowed to contain the leading ledger.
3. In the Posting in G/L field, choose Area Posts Depreciation Only.
Derived Depreciation Area:
It is easiest to create the derived depreciation area using the Wizard.
4. In Customizing for Financial Accounting (New), choose Asset Accounting - Valuation - Depreciation Areas - Set Up Areas for Parallel Valuation.
5. In the Posting in G/L field, choose Area Posts APC Only. Specify that this derived depreciation area represents the difference between the real depreciation area for parallel accounting and the
master depreciation area.
You do not have to set up a separate account set for these new depreciation areas. Instead you use the account set of the master depreciation area. In this scenario, you do not have to create any new accounts in the chart of accounts or in the company code. You also do not have to create a new financial statement version.
So a typical dep.area setting for a parallel ledger at you is like:
T093
AFABER ABVOR1 AFABE1 ABVOR2 AFABE2 BUHBKT LDGRP_GL
01...............................00...........................00............1.............0L
02...............................00...........................00............3.............N1
03..................+...........01............ - ............02............6.............N1

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

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

Derived and Real Depreciation Area Concept (Enduser Documents)

Hi, We have a requirement in which we need to maintain following Depreciation
Areas:
1.Real Depreciation Area
2.Cost Accounting Depreciation Area
3.IFRS Depreciation Area
Can anybody please explain how many derived depreciation areas we need to maintain. And also please provide some examples of adjustment postings for real and derived depreciatin areas.
Thanks

Hello, Sandeep:
The message tells us that:
it doesn't make sense to allow negative value of acquisition for a REAL depreciation area, only meaningful for a derived area, as it might be the result of one real area minus another real area.
And if you set it as allow all value (as it is only a warning), the system cannot forbid the negative acquisition technically (negative acquisition doesn't make sense as we can see).
Hope it will help.
Best Regards, Lawrence

How to delete depreciation areas when a posting is made in asset accounting

Hi All,
We are implementing asset accounting to few of our company codes as a new company code start up project. We have opened depreciation areas for tax for one company code and found that we are not going to use this company code for asset accounting.
We have already opened 2 depreciation areas one for tax and the other as difference between book and tax depr in our development client. One of our member has created an asset and posted values to it. Now, we were told that we dont need to open the depreciation areas. When i am trying to delete it system giving error message saying you cannot delete the derived depr as the values have already been posted.
Please advice how i should proceed with the above issue for deleting the depreciation areas. Your help is much appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Hi Rose,
For the below mentioned issue do the following:
1) reset all the depreciation data ( t code OAGL)
2) reset all the asset account co code data (t code OABL)
then u can go and delete the depreciation areas.
regards,
Kiran

FI-AA new depreciation area - treatment depreciation previous years

Hi,
In the FI-AA module , next to the already existing depreciation area 01 for Fiscal reporting with full integration of postings to FI-GL, I have created a new depreciation area 20 for te purpose of Management reporting which takes over its APC values from depreciation area 01 and does only post different Depreciation values to FI-GL.
Subsequently I updated the data for the new depreciation area in teh already existing asset master data records ( different depreciation keys).
The depreciation calculation and resulting postings for the current year are correct.
However I wonder what will happen with the data for the previous years;
when i look in the asset explorer i do see for the new depr area in the "posted values" tab that it reports for the previous years planned depreciation amounts . However we do not want to post these amounts in the previous years because these years have already been closed and audited.
Will we be able at the end of this fiscal year to changeover FI-AA to the new fiscalyear ( transactions AJAB, AJRW) without the system complaining with error messages that we first need to also perform the depreciation postings for all the previous years in this new depreciation area ?
Many thanks in advance for your much appreciated help.
Kind Regards,
Arjan

Can you please tell me how you added the new depreciaton area to the existing asset masters in those classes ? To get the new depreciation area to show up? We just did the same thing and we're only working with assets that were acquired this year - but we can't get the new depreciation area added to the assets that already existed in those classes. If you figured out how to do that it would sure help us out. I look forward to your response. We're in 4.7.
Thanks
Karla
Never mind found it from reading other posts. I used AFBN and it worked. Thanks

Parallel Currency Depreciation Areas.

Hi,
I have activated parallel currencies (Hard Currency - EUR & Indexed Based - USD) concept to my company code. I am trying to settle WBS, that time I am getting error message "Company code XXXX manages parallel currencies in Asset Accounting. For each area that posts automatically online to FI, you have to define one dependent depreciation area that adopts both identical values and depreciation terms from depreciation area 01, and which is assigned to currency type 40 and currency EUR. There is no depreciation area of this type defined for depreciation area 01"
For the above error how to create dependent depreciation area and attaching to currency type EUR".
Help is needed very urgent.
Thanks in advance for the same.
Regards.

Hi,
Normally when you activated parallel currencies, then you should have minimum 2 depreciation area. First is Book Depreciation , and the second is "Group Currency" Depreciation.
You can define depreciation Area for "Group Currency" in :
SPRO -> Asset Accounting -> Valuation -> Define Depreciation Area
Then you should Specify Area Type in t-code : OADC. Set "Typ"= 6 (group Valuation) for the "Group Currency" depreciation area.
Then Specify Transfer of APC Values in t-code : OABC , fill "ValAd"= 01 and tick column "Identical" for "Group Currency" Area.
Do the same thing in t-code : OABD.
Then You should define currency for those depreciation area in t-code : OAYH.
Last, you should Specify the use of parallel currencies in :
SPRO=> Asset Accounting -> Valuation -> Currency ->Specify the use of parallel currencies .
For "Group Currency" Depreciation area , Fill following :
"Currency Type" = 30 Group Currency
Tick "IdAPC"
"Ttr" = 1 book depreciation
Tick "Indnt Trn"
Hope It can help.

Change Currency in Existing Depreciation Area

Hi Bernhard Kirchner, Brigitte Kuehni and All
I have a requirement to change the Currency for an existing Depreciation Area ( Area Does not post) from TWD to USD.
This depreciation area already has postings in Production.
Could you please suggest, if it is possible and what are the steps to be followed and the data conversion requirements if any.
We have already evaluated the option of creating a new Depreciation area in USD, but that is ruled out following the group norms.
Thanks & Regards,
Kavita

Hi Kavita,
If there are already assets with values in a depreciation area it is no
longer possible to change the currency in transaction OAYH.
The system will not allow you do this, you will get an error.
Once you have postings made, the amounts posted will not automatically
be changed into the new currency.
If the depreciation area 01 is the reference area:
- a reference area cannot be simply switched to another currency. It
has to be identical with the currency of the local currency.
- in order to achieve consistency the amounts in this local currency
have to be converted into the new local currency, which cannot be done
by transaction OAYH simply, otherwise the system could become
inconsistent.
If you change the currency of the depreciation 01 the amounts posted
are not automatically changed into the new currency but taken over one
to one.
To change the currency, you should use the conversion tools.
If you are in a development system doing some initial customizing
(never in an already running production system) you can update the
content in table T093B with a self made ABAP program.
Another possibility is to make a new chart of depreciation and configure
its depreciation areas as you like.
Best regards
Bernhard

Depreciation area not posted

I have one requirement for my new depreciation area 93, the depreciation area 93 will take same value as depreciation area 01,
but using different depreciation key
my detailed requirement is :(1) any asset disposal only post to depreciation area 01 but not 93, how to configure this?
(2). depreciation area 93 need to run monthly depreciation area, we create accumlated depreciation account and Acquisition account for each asset class in depreciation area 93, but these accounts master are not defined as reconcillation account-asset
is it a issue when we run afab for depreciation area 20
(3), when we run askbn, it doesn't adjust accumulated depreciation in depreciation area 93, should we use fb01 to upload accumulated depreciation for depreciation area 93?

Hi,
1) Use a limited transaction type.
2) Should be tested
3)   When opening of new depreciation area via RAFABNEW you have the following flags:
a.     Indicator: Leave values initial = not ticked.
           Do not set this indicator if you want the system
           to copy the values from depreciation area 01.
                                                                                b.     Indicator: Leave values initial = ticked.
           Set this indicator if you want to open the newly created
           depreciation area without any values i.e. blank.
regards Bernhard

Depreciation areas in ANLP

Hi All,
In the table, ANLP, I can not see some specified depreciation areas and their values even though I see the data for all specified depreciation areas in AS03.
For example, 40 and 60 depreciation areas are specified in OABN. However, in table ANLP, I just obtain results for depreciation area 60 and I can not see the depreciation area 40. For this problem, how can I get the data for depreciation area 40 and depreciation area itself in ANLP?
In general, how can I see all specified depreciation areas and see data for those depreciation areas in ANLP?
Points will be rewarded!!
Cheers!

Thank you Nathan!
I have changed the posting status for depreciation area 40 but I still can not see it in ANLP. At that point even though some depreciation areas has posting status 0 (means no posting), they have data in ANLP. For example, depreciation area 25 and 40 have posting status 0 but I can see data for depreciation area 25 in ANLP but I cannot see for 40. How can I obtain data for depreciation area 40 in ANLP? What else can I do to obtain?
