FICO : Asset Accounting - Depreciation Run Issue

Dear Friends,
I have an issue in asset accounting.
Let me explain the actual background of this issue.
1. I created a new company code(2000) by copying the existing one(1000 along with the closed year 2009
2. After that when i was trying to post acquisition for an asset i got the below error
You cannot post to asset in company code 2000 fiscal year 2011
3. Then i closed the year 2010 and opened 2011, it allowed me to post in the month of june
4. Now i am trying to run the depreciation for june, its giving the below error.
According to posting cycle, you should post period 001 next
5. What could be the reason for this error , is it the correct procedure what i am doing it now?
Please help if someone has an idea about that
Thanks ,
Perumal.

Hi,
You can get the solution if you double click the error message.
Please note that depreciation of current month can only be posted if the depreciation dycles till the previous month is completed. Coming to your case, you have opened the year 2011 and trying to post depreciation for period 6. You need to run the depreciation cycles from period 1 to 5 before trying to post for period 6.

Asset Accounting - Depreciation Repeat Run

Hi Seniors,
Depreciation run upto period 7 is over. Now, client wants to create few Intangible assets and depreciation needs to be run from period 1. I created one Intangible asset in Quality Server and tried to do repeat run for that particular asset. It says the posting will be done in Period 7. But, client wants the depreciation to be posted every month. Is there any way for this? Periods are open.
with sincere Regards

Hi Kumar,
Repeat run option is only for running the depreciation for the previous month only in this case period 7. The system calculates the amount from the period 1-7 and posts in period 7.
One option you can try is. You can create the repeat depreciation run for period 7 for this particular asset in background and process the same in foreground, changing the posting date and amount. Make sure your period is open.
Test this scenerio in your test client.

Depreciation run issue.......

Hi,
I am trying to re run the depreication as it calulated wrongly for last 2 months. Now when i am executing it through AFAB T.code, it is giving me an error that posting period is not open for period 1. Our fiscal year start in Oct and ends in Sept. I checked the OB52 settings and there it is shoiwng that currently period 3 is open.
So is there any other way through which i can re run the depreciation posted. I don't think business will agree to open the closed period.
Please suggest.
Regards....

Hi
To post an acconting document in a particular period, that period should be opened. And in case of depreciation run also, accounting document is generated by the system. So it's necessary to open the period to execute depreciation.
Otherwise you can correct the incorrect depreciation in current period if it's ok as per your management.

Block assets for depreciation run

Hi everyone,
Is there a way to put a hold on few assets in a company code from running depreciation, meaning I want the depreciation posting program (AFAB) to skip the selected assets (assets of my choice) for the current periods depreciation run? However, system should calculate depreciation for rest assets in that company. Please advice! Will surely award points for all your help
Thanks in advance,
Kumar

Hi Dominic,
I really appreciate your advice! But, is there anything else I can do to block the assets for depreciation other than checking the indicator Shut down? Because for the assets of my interest the field Shut down is suppressed in the screen layout rules. Please advice!
Thanks,
Kumar

Reg Asset Accounting (Depreciation)

Hi
Gurus
I buy one Asset in this month, and i would like to calculate Depreciation from this month onwords. And this Asset is going to scrap this month only.
So now the problem is how to i calculate the depreciation for one month only.
Can you tell me transaction code. and how to do this.
Regards
Anil.

Using Manula depreciation -ABMA, you can post manual depreciation. But this comes to records only, when you do the dep.run at the end. before running the dep.run, do the scrap entry. at the time system should consider the depreciation posted manually, because, there wont be asset in future at the time of dep.run
try this----some idea what i got .

[B1-V9] Cancel automatic depreciation run/Fixed Assets

Dear Expert,
Could you please let'us know how to cancel automatic depreciation in fixed assets
Depereciation : Depreciation run
Possibility to cancel capitalization: yes
Version: 9 , PL:09
Thank you for your feedback
Kind regards,
Med

Hi
Below is the SAP Note for Cancel Depreciation.
1974682 - Posted Depreciation is cleared after Captalization is canceled
Symptom
Posted Depreciation in Fixed Asset Master Data ->Depreciation tab is cleared after Captalization is canceled.
Reproducing the issue
Prerequisites:
Enable Fixed Assets is ticked Administration->System Initialization->Company Details->Basic Initialization.
Scenario:
1. Define a Fixed Asset
2. Create AP invoice (Purchasing AP->AP Invoice) or Capitalization (Financials->Fixed Assets->Capitalization) for fixed asset and planned depreciation for each month is 100 for example
3. Run depreciation to post depreciation for this asset, for example 400 is shown in 'Posted Depreciation' column in Fixed Assets Master Data ->Depreciation Tab
4. Cancel the document you have created in step 2 via Data->Cancel
Actual behavior:
In fixed asset add-on: The posted depreciation remains in the 'Posted Depreciation' column in Fixed Assets Master Data ->Depreciation Tab
In Business One version 9.0: Value in 'Posted Depreciation' column in Fixed Assets Master Data ->Depreciation Tab is cleared.
Cause
Behavior change.
Solution
In Business One version 9.0, there are three status for asset master data, which are "New", "Active" and "Inactive". If the status of the asset is "New" after its first capitalization is cancelled, no data would be shown in the grid in Asset Master Data's Depreciation tab. But users can still run depreciation again to clear the posted depreciation.
And In Business One version 9.0, users can define the default behavior when canceling the first capitalization document via Document Settings form -> Per Document tab, and choose Capitalizatindocument -> check box 'Deactivate Fixed Asset After Capitalization is Cancelled'. If this check box is chosen, the status of asset master data will be "Inactive" after its first capitalization is cancelled, otherwise, the status will be "New".

Depreciation Run - Repeat/restart

Hi Experts,
I have an AuC asset (setup as investment measure), which was initially setup with depkey LINI (120 useful life). Naturally, after running the AFAB, this asset calculated a depreciation. After the calculation, I changed the of this AuC dep key in the master data (AS02) as to 0000 (no depreciation). Consequently, I re-run the AFAB for the same period, but the system issue me an error "Message no. AU133 Account 'Acc.dep. accnt.for ordinary depreciation' could not be found for area 01".
I also understand that 0000 has no account assignment involved. My question is : Are there any steps I forgot to be done for my change in the dep key be recognized by the system?
Please help . . . thanks in advance

I came across the same situation in April month.For resolving the depreciation run issue I assigned temporarily AD account and Depreciation expense account to AUC Asset class.Then restart the depreciation run for March month Once the depreciation run was successful then again depreciation was executed in planned mode for April month.By doing this the amounts which were posted to AD and Depreciation expense account in march and April were offset.Then I unassigned the accounts from AUC Asset class.
Hope this helps.

Asset account with foreign currecy fluctuations

hi gurus
any body can you please provide the solution to this issue
how will we add foreign currency fluctuation losses to the asset APC value
i)what is the impact of that before dep run
ii)if we added foreign currency losses after dep run what are the implication would involve
thank you

NOrmally the Vendor or the Foreign Currency loan will be revalued and not the Fixed asset. There is no funcltionality to post the currency fluctuation to the asset.
Depreciation run condiders the base method mentioned in the depreciation key. Hence the APC value at the depreciation run will be considered, whether increased or reduced.

How to run depreciation run

hi, please tell me how to run depreciation run, and how will the account that is assigned in account determination for accumulated depreciation will get posted.is it like it gets updated once u run the depreciation run

Hi,
Depreciation Run is thru AFAB Tcode. you need to specify the company code and the period/fiscal year for which you are running. unless for the first time, depreciation run should follow a sequence. 3/2006 only after 2/2006 is run. you also have an option to test run.
a. run the depreciation (AFAB - via background)
b. check the job (SM37, ensure its completed)
c. process through SM35 (batch)
you check the TABA table for details of postings.
The document type (for depeciation posting, usually AF), the Gl Accounts are based on the customizing in the SPRO->FI->Asset Accounting->Depreciation.

Asset accounting-QUESTIONS

Hi Gurus,
I got some questions for asset accounting request all of you to kindly extend your help
my questions are
    What is Asset History? ( OAOA)
2)     How the data flows from Asset Accounting to Controlling?
3)     When the asset value is zero and the Company is still using the asset then, how the Company generally proceed to calculate depreciation further? (Curb) (SPRO>Financial Accounting>Asset Accounting>Depreciation>Valuation Methods> Depreciation Key>Calculation Methods> Define Base Methods)
4)     In asset accounting, why 0% Tax code is created for not taxable transaction and why it is compulsory to do it before assigning the chart of depreciation to company code?
5)     What configuration is required to bring all the Fields in depreciation area tap of Asset master creation?(AO21) and (AS01)
[If we make any changes in Tcode AO21 and they are not getting reflected in depreciation area (Last Tab) in creation of asset master (AS01). So how to make the configuration to get those changes reflected in dep. area (last tab) in creation of asset]
6)     What are difference between Germany Chart of Dep. and Great Britain Chart of Dep. (UK)?
Be assured about the points
Thx
Vinod R Khelani

Hello
Charts of depreciation are used in order to manage various legal requirements for the depreciation and valuation of assets. These charts of depreciation are usually country-specific and are defined independently of the other organizational units. A chart of depreciation, for example, can be used for all the company codes in a given country
In the simplest scenario, all of your company codes are in the same country and are subject to the same legal requirements for asset valuation, meaning that you only need one chart of depreciation.
The chart of depreciation consists of the following parts:
In general, you are required to calculate values for assets for different needs, both internal and external (such as book depreciation and cost depreciation). Therefore, the Asset Accounting component enables you to manage values for assets in parallel in up to 99 depreciation areas. The chart of depreciation, therefore, is a directory of depreciation areas organized according to business management requirements. You define the characteristics, and thereby the significance, of the individual depreciation areas in each chart of depreciation. A depreciation area is always assigned to only one chart of depreciation.
You flexibly define the keys for the automatic depreciation of assets in each chart of depreciation. They are based on elements for calculation (calculation methods, period controls, and so on) that are available client-wide.
Use
SAP supplies typical reference charts of depreciation for each country. They have different depreciation areas and depreciation keys depending on that countrys specific requirements. You cannot use these charts of depreciation directly. You must create your own chart of depreciation by copying the reference chart of depreciation. Delete any depreciation areas that are not needed.
You can document the meaning of any chart of depreciation you set up in the system by writing a description for it.

Asset Value depreciated to Rs 1 after 12 year

Hi,
There is rule that Asset after 12 years should have Net Book Value Rs 1 and no further depreciation should be calculated on the asset after 12 years after capitalization date.
How can we configure this scenario.

Put Memo Value = 1 at SPRO-Financial Accounting-Asset Accounting-Valuation-Amount Specifications (Company Code/Depreciation Area)-Specify Memo Value
Create a new base method at SPRO-Financial Accounting-Asset Accounting-Depreciation-Valuation Methods-Depreciation Key-Calculation Methods-Define Base Methods-
Base Mthod Z999
Type of Depreciation = Ordinary depreciation
Dep method = percentage from useful life
Reduce use life at FY end = Select check box
Select remaining 3 fileds with NO
Create a DepKey with above base method
Enter useful life in AS01 as 12 years

Assigning Asset Number as Account Assignment Object in Depreciation Run

Hi,
We want to assign Asset Number along with Cost Center as an additional Account Assignment Object in our Depreciation Run. For this we have maintained Asset as an active object and assigned it to the Depreciation Area 01 and activated it for all Transaction type "*".
However, when we see the FI Document Posting, we get Cost Center number from the Asset Master record posted to Depreciation account but a "*" comes in the field of Asset Number in the FI Document? Is it possible to have asset number also in the FI document?
regards,
Chintan Shah

Hi
Thats standard behaviour
Its not possible because, one consolidated document is posted in FI for lots of assets.. The posting happens in a batch mode.. thats why, the Asset No is displayed as *
For Asset wise depreciation reports, you can see reports like S_P99_41000192 - Posted depreciation by asset and posting period and S_ALR_87010175 - Posted depreciation, related to cost centers

Error in depreciation run - assets under construction

Hi!
Could someone please help me with the following:
My customer has a large amount of assets under construction (AuC) and also other assets. None of the assets under consctruction should have a depreciation key (or depreciation key 0000) and no depreciation accounts are allocated in transaction AO93 for AuC . But my customer now has incorrectly created a few AuC (that should NOT be depreciated at all) with depreciation key LINK. What happened?
1) Test run depreciation (AFAB) for all assets in period 1 during 2010. In test run no error log was created, everything looked fine.
2) Executed depreciation in background.
3) When looking at each of the assets in transaction AW01N I can see that all assets (both real assets and AuC with depreciation key) has depreciation posted in period 1. BUT, no depreciation has been posted in general ledger on any of the asset classes!
4) I have now changed the depreciation key on all AUC in AS02 to 0000 so that no depreciation will be calculated.
5) Trying to run AFAB again for period 2 but error message says that period 1 was terminated and that period 1 should be restarted.
6) Trying to run period 1 again in AFAB with restart but error message says "Account 'Acc.dep. accnt.for ordinary depreciation' could not be found for area 01" and refering to all of the incorrect AuC that I have corrected (to no depreciation key)
Please how can I go on? I want to reverse the depreciation in period 1 since I didn't get any posting i the general ledger. And then I want to make a new depreciation run only with correct assets (only depreciation on real assets, not on AuC).
Please help!
I am very thankful for any help!
Many many thanks in advance!

Hi, Can you please how the issue is solved because i have the same problem which i need to resolve immediately. Please reply me as soon as possible

Fixed assets depreciation run fails when profit center not belong to Dim 1

Hi all,
I face the below issue:
- Fixed assets depreciation run summarized by distribution rule fails with error when profit center does not belong to Dimension 1.
I have search teh SAP notes and found the same issue. It says:

Anyone knows whether 8.8 PL 13 also same issue?
Does SAP planned to rectify this?
Thanks.

Dear Wei Lan, Veron Liu
As described in the note 1371619 this is a limitation/definition of the current product version:
No other note has been published so far on this subject, so what it is said on that note, it remains valid in 8.8
In order to push for a change in product definition we recomend to post this request in
