  • Change in Useful life of asset in mid year, but the previous posted depreciation should not be changed

    Dear Experts,
    I have a requirement in one of my client, We need to extend the useful life of asset in mid of an asset fiscal year and the depreciation which was posted in the previous should not be changed.
    Requirement:
    Useful life of asset  is to be extended after completing depreciation for 4 years and in-between the current asset fiscal year. Provided the present asset value has to be taken as the new book value of the asset and the depreciation posted henceforth to be posted based on the new asset value till the remaining useful life.
    Previously posted depreciation should be unchanged.
    Analysis:
    1.      The fiscal Year followed - October to September.
    2.      The useful life of asset will be changed, and the depreciated value posted till 31/mar 2014 will have the old depreciation value ( based on the original acquisition value)
    3.      The Depreciation key used in of type LINR (linear), depreciation value will be calculated based on the Book value till the asset value becomes ZERO at the end of useful life of the asset.
    4.      We can change the useful life of the asset at the end of a Asset fiscal year say FY- 2014, if this is done the existing configuration will take the Book value of the asset at the end of the Fiscal as the asset value and the new depreciation will be calculated based on the new useful life of the asset. The asset value will become ZERO at the end of the newly changed Useful Life.
    5.      But the requirement is that the useful life of the asset will be changed exactly half way in between existing Asset fiscal (i.e., 31/03/2014), if this is done system will change the depreciation value based on the new useful life ( since the Dep Key is LINR), but the depreciation value will change from the fiscal start say October 2013 to September 2014 ), which will not satisfy the requirement of the client. Since the depreciation which is already posted from October 2013 to March 2014 should not be changed.
    Note:
    1. We are not willing to retire the asset and create a new asset with the remaining book value as asset value and start depreciation.
    Kindly let me know if the requirement can be fulfilled without retiring the asset.

    Dear All,
    This requirement has been completed.
    1. I created New Multi level valuation method with base 26 ( Net book value w/o Revaluation ).
    2. New depreciation key was created and the above method was assigned to it. I never changed the Base method.
    3. new interval was created in the depreciation area, with this created dep key and extended the useful life of the asset. The depreciation was calculated according to the requirement.
    Originally the asset had useful life of  5 Years, I changed the asset useful life to 8 years now with new Depreciation key 2001.
    Depreciation was already posted to the asset till 04- 2013 for an amount of 148.27 SAR.
    Net Book value carried forward to 2013 = 1575.56 SAR
    Depreciation already posted till 4th period =   148.27 SAR
    Current Net book value after useful life extension           = 1427.29 SAR .
    Now the new depreciation key 2001 with Multilevel method 201, will take this Net-book value as Asset value and will depreciate along the useful life of the asset till it becomes zero.
    Planned depreciation of 2013 ( remaining 6 months) = 166.24 SAR
    Planned depreciation of 2014 = 225.96 SAR
    Planned depreciation of 2015 = 225.96 SAR
    Planned depreciation of 2016 = 225.96 SAR
    Planned depreciation of 2017 = 225.96 SAR
    Planned depreciation of 2018 = 225.96 SAR
    Planned depreciation of 2019 = 131.25 SAR
    Total      = 1427.29 SAR ( the Asset value becomes zero at the end of its remaining useful life.
    The previously posted depreciation from 01.01.2013 to 30.04.2013 was untouched.

  • Calculation of Depreciation based on Remianing Useful Life

    Hi
    I have a scenario in which depreciation percentage should be derived based on remaining useful life and it should remain same through out the remaining useful life.
    For eg,
    Take over date = 30.11.2010
    Acquisition Date= 01.04.2009
    Acquisition Amount = INR 200000
    Depreciation Till 30.11.2010 = 70000 INR
    Net Book Value as of 30.11.2010 = INR 130000
    Total Useful Life = 4 Years or 48 months
    Expired Useful Life = 1 year 9 months or 21 months
    Remaining useful life = 27 months
    Required Depreciation Per Month = 130000/27=4815
    Derived Percentage = 4815/130000*100=3.71%
    I have created a Base Method for calculation for Depreciation with Depreciation Method as "% from Remaining Life calculated from Depreciation Conversion Date". In Multilevel methods, I have assigned the Base Method as 24, Net Book Value
    and maintained the check box for Remaining useful life.
    However, the system is not calculating the  rate as expected.

    Hi Sanil
    Have you done any settings in OAYF - recalculate dep for previous years (IMG> AA > Asset Data Transfer > Parameters for Data Transfer > Options)
    For current year, it always does produce some difference due to rounding off, which should not be a big amount

  • New Depreciation to start from Mar (not Jan) after change of useful life

    Hi
    Does anyoe has any solution or will there be changes to SAP B1's Fixed Asset?
    Let me explain the full scenario as below:
    1) Customer has Fixed Assest which has useful life of 25 years, i.e. 300 months.
    2) The assets has been depreciated for a few months, e.g from July 2008 to Mar 2009. In FA Master Data, it shows the remaining useful life is 294.
    3) From Mar 2009 onwards, the management decides that the userful life is to be 30 instead of 25. The past depreciated value is to remain. The new depreciated value is to be effective from Mar 2009 onwards.
    Changes Done
    1) In Fixed Asset Master file, under the General tab, a change has been made to the Useful life from 300 to 360. The remaining life is auto-change to 354.
    2) Re-run the depreciation for Mar 2009.
    3) The new depreciated value is re-calculated from Jan 2009 onwards and the adjustment is posted in Mar 2009.
    What is required is that Jan 2009 to Feb 2009 should remain the original depreciated value. The new depreciated value should be adjusted from Mar 2009 onwards.
    Please advise is there any solution or proposals.
    Example
    Asset value = 518749.95
    Useful life = 300
    Remaining Useful life = 294
    Monthly Planned Depreciated Value = 1729.17, Dec Planned Depreciated value = 1729.13
    After Changes Done
    Asset value = 250000
    Useful life = 360
    Remaining Useful life = 354
    Monthly Planned Depreciated Value = 1436.09, Dec Planned Depreciated value = 1436.06
    Required
    Asset value = 250000
    Useful life = 360
    Remaining Useful life = 354
    Jan and Feb Planned Depreciated Value = 1729.17
    Mar 2009 onwards, Planned Depreciated Value = 1404.95
    Calculation = (518749.95 - 20750 - 3458.34)/352
    where 20750 is the depreciated value for 2008 and 3458.34 is the depreciated value for Jan and Feb 2009.

  • Wrong depreciation calcualtion when we change useful life of an asset

    Hi,
    We change the useful life of an asset during the middle of the year.  The deprecaiton calculation is not effecting correctly for the remaining useful life of an asset.
    We are using stright line method of depreciaion. I will appreciate if any post some tips what is wrong .
    Example: 
    Current State: 
    Acquisition value: 300,000
    Acquisition date: 1/1/08
    Useful life: 3 years
    NBV 12/31/08: 200,000
    NBV 6/30/09: 150,000
    New life: 2 years, starting 7/1/2009
    Current methodology:
    NBV at 12/31/08 divided by new remaining life as of the beginning of the year (2009) $200,000 / 12 months = $16,667
    Depreciation expense in 7/31/09: $66,669 ([16,667 * 7 months = 116,669] minus depreciation at old method booked for first 6 months of 2009 [200,000/24 = 8,333 * 6 = $50,000]). $116,669 u2013 50,000 = $66,669
    Monthly Depreciation expense between 8/31/09-12/31/09: $16,667 / month
    Future State: 
    Requested methodology:
    NBV at 6/30/09 divided by remaining life as of the date of the change: (150,000/6mos) $25,000
    Can any one explain what is the issue

    Hi,
    By default, any change in depreciation parameters will recalculate depreciation from the beginning.  If you want to change depreciation terms on different phases, you may need to introduce a depreciation key which changes percentage in multi-level method.

  • Changing useful life of an asset

    Hi All,
    Client wants to change the asset's useful life from 4 years to 3 years. Also previous depreciations should not get affected due to this. The new recalculated value of the asset should be spread over the remaining useful life and depreciation amount should also be recalculated accordingly. Do we have such functionality in SAP version ECC4.6?? or we need to post the depreciation manually going forward?? I have tried smoothing method but this is also not helping me out.
    Please advice if we can do something in it.
    Many Thanks,
    Parul

    Hello Parul
    Sorry but this functionality is only available as of release 6.0 if you have the
    new depreciation engine activated. Note 965032 will provide you more details. In
    particular section 4. c) Managing time-dependent depreciation parameters:
    With the new depreciation calculation, you now have the option to 
    change depreciation terms during the fiscal year. This means that 
    the changed parameters are included in the calculation always     
    from the period for which the period is also valid.
      The following depreciation terms can be maintained   time-dependently on the   fixed asset:                 
      -  Depreciation Keys                                                                               
    -  Useful life                                       
      -  scrap value/scrap value percentage rate                                                      
      -  variable depreciation portion

  • Extending useful life without automatic adjustments

    Our Assets department would like to extend the original and remaining life of all assets but DO NOT want the system to automatically adjust depreciation; they want to adjust this manually somehow.
    Is a change in useful life without automatic adjustments possible?  The only thing I could think of is to temporarily change the GL account that is assigned for depreciation so at least all the adjustments would be gathered in different GL accounts for prior periods so the changes can be dealt with manually.

    Hi,
    you could change to a depreciation method which would NOT consider the useful life of the asset, such as stated percentage rate, or manual depreciation.
    If your depreciation method is based on useful life (or remaining useful life) this would be contradictive if it wouldn´t change / be adjusted.

  • Increased useful life

    Hi,
    We made some repair costs to our building, and we decided to capitalize the repair costs to value of the building. Also we decided that repair works incresed/prolonged useful life of this building. We want that NBV and capitalised repair costs would depreciate during the remaining + prolonged periods, i.e.
    Initialy useful life was 30 years, after 20 years when we made repair it was 10 years remaining, and we decided that repair prolongs useful life additional 5 years, so in total 15 years.
    How to adjust remaining useful life in order to claculate depraciation for the rest period plus additional period smoothly? Because system recalculates depreciation of previous periods and posts positive values and than negative, but we want calculate smoothly for the whole rest depreciation period with negative depr. values.
    Please help!

    Maybe I have described not so clear my problem. Because it is realy important for us I try to describe more detail:
    According to our internal accounting principles of fixed assets, when
    we made essential subsequent acquisition, e.g. we made repair works of
    the roof of our building; we have to add those costs to initial
    acquisition cost of the building, and to prolong useful life of the
    building. And depreciation calculation must be calculated in this way:
    Initial acquisition cost 1.000.000 monetary units (MU);
    Initial useful life 40 years;
    Monthly depreciation was: 1.000.000/40/12 = 2.083 MU;
    After 20 years we made subsequent acquisition amounting to 200.000 MU
    and prolonged useful life additionally 10 years.
    So in our accounting books planned monthly depreciation after
    subsequent acquisition must be as follows:
    (500.000 + 200.000) / 30 / 12 = <b>1.944</b> MU,
    500.000 MU net book value at subsequent acquisition day = 1.000.000 /
    20
    30 years = remaining 20 years + prolonged useful life 10 years
    But the system calculates in this way:
    Recalculates depreciation of past 20 years and posts difference with
    positive depreciation value to current year planned depreciation:
    1.000.000 / 40 / 12 - 1.000.000 / 50 / 12 = 2.083 - 1.667 = 417 MU,
    417 * 20 * 12 = 100.000 MU
    And only after that in planned future fiscal years system posts
    negative depreciation. For example we made subsequent acquisition in
    December of 2006:
    Period      Depreciaiton, MU
    2006/12    +100.000
    2007/01     -2.222
    2007/02     -2.222
    …             -2.222
    2036/12     -2.222
    Posting like above are completely inconsistent with our internal
    accounting principles. We need to avoid positive depreciation postings
    at all.
    We need postings as follows:
    Period        Depreciaiton, MU
    2006/12      -1.944
    2007/01      -1.944
    2007/02      -1.944
    …              -1.944
    2036/12      -1.944
    How to configure depreciation of subsequent acquisitions and prolonging
    of useful life according to our needs?

  • Useful Life in Assets

    Dear Experts,
    What is the useful life we should enter when we migrated the asset from Legacy system to a new SAP Environment?
    The useful life should be as per the legacy system or should it be the remaining useful life?
    Thank you.

  • Decimal places are not permitted for asset useful life

    Dear SAP experts,
    I need to post a new net book value on a new depreciation area 50 for fixed assets. The new deprecation for depreciation area 50 will start in July 2011 on all existing (also fully depreciated or to be disposed) assets with a different useful life unlike the book deprecation for depreciation area 01. The depreciation method for depreciation area 50 is straight line.
    I have a requirement to assign the new useful life for the depreciation area 50 which may contain decimals, for example 5.5 years. Basically, I need to depreciate the asset for the remaining 6 months of 2011 and the entire 2012 to 2016.
    SAP does not allow decimals on asset useful life (Decimal places are not permitted, Message no. 00011).
    Have you come accross a similar situation? How can that be managed via depreciation methods and keys?
    Please advise.
    Thank you in advance,
    Inna

    Hi Inna,
    You can define your useful life of 5.5 years for the depreciation area 50 as follows:
    Useful life : 5
    period : 6
    here, useful life(5) represents 5 years and period(6) as 6 months which gives you 5.5 years starting depreciation from Depreciation calculation start date.
    Kind Regards,
    Mehul

  • Changing Fixed Assets useful life according IAS rules

    Hi all,
    According to the new IAS rules (International Accounting Standards) when an asset's useful life (currently with straight line depreciation) is changed we have to distribute the "net book value" (remaining depreciation to be posted) between all the remaining months in the same proportion.
    Currently, SAP standard calculates the depreciation as the difference between the posted depreciation throughout the previous months and the amount that should have been depreciated with the new useful life, and it assigns this calculated amount in the current month when the useful life is changed.
    We have checked that the remaining depreciation to be posted can be distributed equally over the remaining periods of the fiscal year by marking the "smoothing" flag through transaction OAYR per company code, but we need this amount to be distributed over all the remaining periods for the new useful life (not only over the current fiscal year).
    Please find below an example to try to clarify my query:
    A fixed asset with str.line depreciation has the following values:
    Acquisition value: 12000 eur
    Useful life: 3 years
    Depreciation per year: 4000 eur.
    The asset starts to depreciate on 01.01.2008 and its useful life is
    changed to 2 years on 01.07.2008. On that moment the net book value is
    10000 eur.
    SAP adjusts the difference between the amount that should have been
    depreciated with the new useful life (3.000 eur) and the real amount
    posted (2.000 eur) = 1.000 eur depending on the "smoothing" flag:
    1. If the flag is not marked: SAP assigns 1.500 eur (500 eur (6.000/12)
    + 1.000 eur from the difference) on 01.07.2008
    2. If the flag is marked: SAP distributes the difference between the
    remaining periods of the current year (from July to December) and it
    assigns 666,66 eur per month (500 eur + 166,66, obtained from 1.000
    eur/6 months).
    But we need the same depreciation amount distributed over the remaining
    months: 10.000 eur/18 months = 555,55 eur/month.
    Has anyone come through the same problem before?
    The only solution I can think of is transferring the asset values to a new one. Or maybe a user exit.
    Any feedback will be much appreciated.
    Thank you very much in advance. Best regards

    Hi Markus,
    Sorry to come back to you regarding this question. Unfortunately we are not still on 6.0 so we can't take advantage of the new functionality.
    I am now trying to make an asset transfer through transaction ABUMN but the new asset is taking into account the capitalisation value of the original asset rather than the net book value that we would need the system to consider to calculate the new depreciation values.
    Do you know if there is a way to solve this?
    Thanks a lot. Best regards

  • FIXED ASSETS - USEFUL LIFE

    Hi,
    I´m modifying the useful life of some fixed assets and don´t have problems since it makes the amortization assessed since they are and it me re-calculates those who even remain.
    The problem is that they request that, in first foreseen, amortization does not load the difference that exists between the aortas  and that correspondent with the new useful life. There is way of doing that it first amortization goes out without the adjustment?
    Thanks in advance.-

  • Asset Depreciation - Depreciation to the date + Percentage from useful life

    Hi Asset Accounting Experts,
    I have a business requirement for depreciation as follows in depreciation calculation.
    Aquisition Month    : Depreciation to the date
    remaining Months   : Straight Line Depreciation - Ordinary: percentage from useful life
    Retirement Month   : Depreciation To the date
    Eg: Aquisition value = 12000     Useful Life 10 years  i.e Depreciation per month 100
    Asset Aquired in 20.01.2009 (Period 1)
    Retired in 12.04.2009 (Period 4)
    Depreciation should post as follows
    Period 1 - 100*11/31 =   35.48
    Period 2 -                      100.00
    Period 3 -                      100.00
    Period 4 -  100*12/30 =   40.00

    Hi,
    You can define this in your depreciation key.
    Check depreciation to day check box. System will calculate the depreciation from date of capitalization if you have define multilevel method , depreciation from capitalisation date. Also choose base method depreciation from useful life. Define life in Asset master , post the entry and check the depreciation behaviour.
    Check with this system will post the depreciation as per your requirement.
