Fixed Asset: Current Year Depreciation
Dear Experts,
Previously, fixed assets was managed manually in an excel sheet and depreciation was calculated manually in the excel sheet.
My client wants to start using the FA Addon in March. I managed to import all the fixed asset master data with its Cost, Acc. Depn and NBV. They all tally with the GL balances as at 31.12.2010 which is the last day of the accounting year.
However, I have problem with the current year accumulated depn figure. When I run depreciation for Jan-Feb, the figure does not tally with the GL balances as at 28.02.2011.
For example:
Fixed Asset Cost: $5,859.00
In SAP B1
Depreciation method: Straight-line depreciation
Calculation medthod: Percentage of Acquisition Value
Percentage: 33.33%
Planned monthly depreciation: $162.77 <-- Not sure how B1 get this figure
Therefore, accumulated depreciation for current year as at 28.02.2011 = $325.54
Manual via Excel
Depreciation method: Straight-line depreciation
Calculation medthod: Percentage of Acquisition Value
Percentage: 33.33%
Accumulated depreciation for current year as at 28.02.2011= ($5,859 x 33.33%) / 12 x 2 = $325.47
How do I get the current year depreciation to tie with the GL?
Hi Joyce,
I understand the issue you are facing is that
accumulated depreciation for current year as at 28.02.2011(calculated by Fixed assets addon) = $325.54,
but
accumulated depreciation for current year as at 28.02.2011(calculated by excel)= ($5,859 x 33.33%) / 12 x 2 = $325.47
you want to know how system calculate the accumulated depreciation as $325.54?
in order to make it clear,
please let me know how did you define the FA master data,such as the net book value,useful life,remaing life and so on.
Please check the FA master data->general tab and calculation tab,as it is not possible to attach the screenshot to show the relevant data,please log a SAP message for the further assistance.
Kind regards,

Asset Revaluation issue - Reval of Current year depreciation
Hi All,
We are setting up the system to do asset revaluation for our company code in South America. My client wants to
revalue the assets from Jul'09 to Dec'09.
1) We have maintained inflation indexes for the last day of each period in the year 2009.
2) Maintained Posting Variants and Time Base and Exposure variant accordingly for all the periods and year as 9999.
3) Assigned the appropriate Time base and exposure variant in the period control method.
4) Maintained the Revaluation Areas:
a) Area 01 - Book
b) Area 02 - Inflation Adj (Revaluation Area)
c) Area 03 - Derived (Area 01+Area02)
d) Area 22 - Infla Adj in Group Currency
5) Maintained the Revaluation key and assigned it to the relevant Asset classes by Depreciation Area (02 and 22)
6) Maintained the transaction types as below:
897 - Revaluation (downward) current year
892 - Revaluation (upward) current year
891 - Revaluation (downward) prior year
893 - Revaluation (upward) prior year
7) Maintained the Inflation Method and last revaluation date on Inflation method as 01.07.2009.
8) We have also activated the Revaluation after useful life.
With this setup in the system I took a test asset which had depreciation postings for the period 08 and 09. When I
ran the J1AI - Revaluation (Inflation) Program in the test run mode the outcome was that the APC value of the asset
was being revalued and Revaluation of Prior year Depreciation but not the Revaluation of current year
Depreciation. Can anyone tell me why current year Depreciation is not being revalued.
Am I doing something wrong process-wise or configuration-wise?
Please help me in resolving this issue.
Regards,
RajHi Rajesh Phanibatla,
I've always happened that Issue. But what I realized is that although the program output (J1AI) does not show you nothing on "Rev of CY Depn", the system calculates. This only happens for the first month of adjustment (In your case, Aug 08).
Try checking the test asset with the Assets Explorer (AW01N) just after running the adjust (J1AI) in background process (NO test mode) at 31.08.2009. See if the area Area 02 - Inflation Adj (Revaluation Area) on "Posted values" tab shows something different to zero on month 08 with "Planned" status.
Then, for the adjustment of the following months, the output of the program will show you the "Rev of CY Depn" value.
If you want, let me know your email to show you a presentation (PowerPoint in spanish) that has screens that I captured on that occasion that happened to me.
I hope this is your case and can help you that I said.
Good Look!
PD: Sorry for my bad english :S -
Fixed Assets - Tax Book Depreciation Reset
Hello Fixed Assets Experts,
My company recently reorganized our parent company, and now has the following scenario:
Due to legal changes, we need to start over the useful life on our tax books (10 and 11) and restart the calculation of depreciation based on the net book value of the asset on 1/1/2008. Book 01 needs to continue as normal. We would like to use the current asset numbers and not transfer anything to new numbers. These are all of our FFE assets, so there are multiple depreciation keys and useful lives (i.e. computer equipment, property, etc). I have tried making custom depreciation keys and changing the useful lives to get the desired result, but can't seem to find a way to do it.
Here is an example:
Asset 1 (software), was capitalized on 06/30/2006 with a useful life of 3 years and has been depreciating since. It is scheduled for end of life in 2009. The net book value of the asset on 1/1/08 is 1219.97. I need to depreciate the 1219.97 over 3 years starting on 1/1/08.
Is this possible? We have not run our December 08 depreciation, but I am running out of options.
Thanks in advance!Do you working on ECC 6 and activate the option EA-FIN. In that case it is possible to use time intervale in the tab Depr Areas (click 2 times on the line). This should solve your problem.
See the wiki about new depreciation

Fixed Assets Add-On: Depreciation Calculation After Credit Memo
In the beginning of the year, I have a fixed asset as follow:
Cost $16,128,667.00
NBV $14,515,800.35
Planned Useful Life for this asset is 120 months.
In July this year, created a Fixed Asset Credit Memo for this asset at $1,110,942.92.
Originally, before the credit memo, the planned depreciation is $134,405.53 per month which is correct.
After the credit memo, it recalculates the planned depreciation to $124,119.04 per month. How did the system arrive at this figure?
Depreciation method:
Straight line
Full YearHi,
Based on NBV $14,515,800.35, minus Credit Memo $1,110,942.92, you got $13,404,856.43. The useful life is 108 based on NBV. So you get new planned depreciation to $124,119.04 per month.
Thanks,

Fixed Assets: Changing Category, Depreciation, life
hi
i have an requirement where we need to change asset category, depreciation method, no depreciation and life(1 month). And want to make total depreciation to zero.
Ex:
Asset#A1 already depreciated some amount.
Original category X and degault rules are set to Depreciable.
Defined to new category Y and associate default rules to all CORP and TAX books to not depreciate.
Changed from category X to Y
Now after reclassification, it is depreciating entire amount of the asset and posting to current open period. As the reclassification does not default the new category depreciation flag, it is depreciating entire fixed asset cost immediately. I didn't run depreciation.
Now how do i change YTD depreciation to zero?
Thanks in advance for all your suggestions.....
Need it immediately.....Hmm, did you not test this out in a test environment first before doing this in production? Can you be specific on the choices that you made when you changed this asset? Maybe you chose to expense the adjustment in the current period rather than to amortize? Because you originally had it in a depreciable status, then changing it to new financial information, looks like it is choosing to expense the remaining asset cost immediately (which is why you are getting depreciation without having run depreciation). You may need to contact Oracle support at this point to find out how to best recover from this. Though if just one asset, you can just do a journal entry to reverse the depreciation. Then you would want to contact support to find out what is the best way in the future to make this kind of change. The documentation unfortunately does not address the kind of change you were making here. Doe show that it is important to get the depreciation setup correct before activating an asset.

Import Fixed Asset on Previous Year
Hi experts,
I would like to know, is it possible to upload fixed asset on previous year as fiscal year. For example I want to upload asset per June 2010 as beginning period, I tried several ways to upload but I couldn't find the right one.
I tried to upload fixed asset data with depreciation start / capitalization date before Jan 2010 and succeed
eg.
Asset: Printer
Acquisition date: 01 Feb 2009
Depreciation start date: 01 Feb 2009
APC value: 22000000
Useful Life: 36
Remaining Life: 25
Ordinary Depr: 8066667
But it didn't work out with the depreciation start / capitalization date on Jan - Jun 2010
eg.
Asset: Printer
Acquisition date: 01 March 2010
Depreciation start date: 01 March 2010
APC value: 2100000
Useful Life: 36
Remaining Life: 36
Ordinary Depr: 0
Any help will be most appreciated. ThanksYes, I did. It said "We recommend you to import fixed asset master in the past years. If you insist on importing an asset for the current fiscal year, make sure the depreciation start date is the first date of current fiscal year and the Remaining Life is the same as the Useful Life." This case is different, the company wants to upload asset as per June 2010 as its beginning balance =) Thx for your reply Julie

[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,
MedHi
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".

Dear All,8
I cannot import fixed asset to SAP Business One ( Hanna) PL8, the following message appear
The Remaining life of fixed asset for depreciation area GAAP is incorrect
how i can solve this issue ?
Regards,
Abdualla Fatayerthe formalla is :
remaining useful life = ( date of fixed asset that will be imported to SAP - starting depreciation date)\30 day.
and the result from this equation is subtracted from useful life of fixed asset.
note:
starting depreciation date =Dec 31 from the year that customer acqustion fixed asset.
example:
the capitalization date of an asset is 5/2/2012
I will consider starting depreciation date will be 31/12/2012
I will import the fixed asset on 1/1/2014
asset useful life is 80 Month.
then i will use the equation above to calculate remaining useful life

Accumu. depr. and current year dep
we have one asset 1000192 around APC: 35000 USD, acquire in previous year 2012.9.1, accumulated depreciation is around 5700 USD, current year depreciation is 390 USD, we create a new asset 1000193 by refernece this asset, then use ABSO to post APC and accumlated depreciation, after I click "display document", I enter around 5700 USD in ord. dep field (cumulat.) then around 390 USD in "current year" field. after I post, system post 5700+390 to value adjustment field in asset explorer.
is there any way that we can migrate 5700 and 390 separately to accumlated depreciation and current year depreciation in asset explorer instead of " value adjustment"?
also is able to set asset 1000193 acquisition date to be previous year 2012.9.1 instead of current date 2014.7.3 as value date?Hi,
What transaction are you performing in ABSO exactly? What is the transaction type you use?
If you do a transfer, then the system will always post a value adjustment for already posted depreciation depending on your period control for retirement/transfer in your depreciation key.
Maybe you want to check also the setting in the transaction type regarding taking over the depr.start date: see the F1 Help on Indicator: "Transfer adopting dep. start date" in e.g. AO76.
As far as I know from testing in the system, the behaviour for choosing a value date before the posting date is that in ABSO you get an error "Enter asset value date in the same year as posting date ........".

Credit Note in Fixed Assets add-on
Hi experts,
I really do not understand how Credit Note is working in this add-on.
Depreciation(accounting impact):
Dr Cr
510000 - Depreciation (Personal Computers) 110000 - Personal Computers
So, for my Credit Note is a little bit differen(I am using Credit Note without Vendort:
I want the Credit Note to perform as following:
Dr Cr
110000 - Personal Computers 510000 - Depreciation (Personal Computers)
My G/L setting in Fixed Assers add-on:
Balance Sheet of Asset Acc. Cost - 110000
Clearing - (for this account, I have tried placing 110000 and 510000)
Ordinary Depreciation Acc. - 510000
But, it does not work.
Please advice on that.Hi Gordon,
I thought this account was for Credit Note purposes but it wasn't.
So, for 1st scenario I tried putting 110000 and then I made a Credit Note without Vendor thought of debiting back depreciated amount into my fixed asset account and crediting the depreciated amount in my depreciation account. The result was unfavorable, it worked out the same way as I did for depreciating my assets:
Dr Cr
510000 - Depreciation Account 110000 - Fixed Assets Account
In fact, for 2nd scenario I tried replacing 110000 in Clearing Account with 510000 thought of achieving my goal below:
Dr Cr
110000 - Fixed Assets Account 510000 - Depreciation Account
But the outcome was same exactly as 1st scenario.
How can I produce the goal in 2nd scenario, please advice.
Thank you. -
FAGL_FC_TRANS for Fixed Assets
SAP experts,
We are doing FC Valuation and translation for a foreign subsidiaries to report US GAAP . ( FAGL_FC_VAL for FC valuation followed by FAGL_FC_TRANS for Translating the group currency with spot/avg raye for BS and PL respectively). Confiured BS adjustment account for translation and the translation difference posted at Month end ( BS adjustment acccount) at month end and reverse it on 1st day of next period. No update on individual accounts.
The FASB docs explains that FASB amount is to strip off the EX rate influence on the BS numbers of Foreign subsidiaries. ( Group currency amount of Foreign Subsidiary in SAP)
Gone thru SDN and came to know the treatment to be given to Fixed assets. Looks like it need not be valuated as it sits on Balance sheet long time. It is not clear . In simple terms do we have to include Fixed assets and accumilated depreciation in FAGL_FC_TRANS or not?
Answer is yes for Translation the what rate . How do I derive the correct historical rate as the assets are carried over a long period when we do not update the assets Group currency amount.
Do we do the translation for all P&L accounts also?
Appreciate early replies.
RegardsPlease see my responses below.
1. For all BS accounts using Spot rate - yes, the rate on the last day of the month.
2. For Fixed assets account different rate - same rate applied to all balance sheet accounts
3. For PL balances separately after ticking the P&L accounts - yes, but this is at the average rate for the month
4. Do we have to check (tick mark) the u2018valuate period balance only u2018 on the screen for PL? YES
Is the fixed assets GL accounts are to be treated in a different way unlike other BS accounts? - I don't see any reason why they should be handled differently.
The Fixed assets are to be re measured with different ex rate ie Historical rate? - No. It is the equity that you want to keep at historical rate.
How do I get historical rate? - The historical rate is on the individual postings on the account. You don't need to get the historical rate from anywhere, as you just leave the historical rate on equity account postings, by excluding these accounts from the selection screen of your Balance Sheet translation variant.
Make sure that for BS translation, you also reverse the translation program entries on the first day of next month. You don't need to do this for PL translation, as you are translating period balance only.
What steps to be followed to complete the FASB52 and how to reconcile with manual. - All of the above conform with FAS 52 rule. What do you have in your manual record? I would eliminate the need for any reconciliation once you are in SAP. A spot check in your testing cycles should do! -

Reduce capitalized amount to Fixed asset
We need to reduce the amount capitalized to fixed assets in a depreciation area. I haver tried with ABSO but I do not find any movement type useful.
Do anybody knows if ABSO is the best way or if there is any other.
thanks,user exits are places where you can have the chance to modify the standard SAP logic through adding your own logic (which you cannot achieve through customizing). You need an ABAP person for writing the correct code. Best to start is to implement the enhancement (with only a breakpoint), so by acquisition the program will stop there and the ABAP guy will show you what data you have there for modification (i. e. all depreciation area with values). Than you have an idea what has to be done (i. e. to set up conditions what and how to change). Better to ask help from some experienced guy on the project...

How can we import Fixed asset of the current year ?
Hi ,
in 1272578 note , SAP Support explain that's it's not possible to create fixed asset of the current year( example = acquisition date = 2009-02-01 ) using import , but they gave no workaround .
does it mean that we have to manually create all assets of the current year ? or there is another way ( using DI-API for example ) ?
ThanksGood day
The fixed asset master data import functionality in SAP Business One is used to import assets of the previous year. If you are to force the importation of current year assets some of them might load but system will not be able to calculate planned depreciation for that year, which will give u problems when u try to run depreciation forcing u to post manual depreciation.
With manual depreciation will not look good on the Fixed Asset Master since it sort of duplicate depreciation ONLY on the Master your report will be fine.
Capturing Current year assets manually will be the safer road.
Thanks
