Full Bonus Depreciation irrespective of DPIS

Hi All,
We want the Full 50% Bonus Depreciation to be taken for the first year irrespective of DPIS, we want this only for Bonus Depreciation and not for the actual Depreciation for an asset having STL Depreciation Method, so we do not want to change the Prorate Date.
Is there any way to achieve this other than using unplanned or override depreciation. This link Re: How to Calculate Initial Depreciation Allowance for Assets? looked very relevant but the solution is not outlined. Please need your help and advise
Thanks,

Bonus Depreciation

11.5.10.02
Hi all,
I need your input from you experts. My tax laws required for a 20% bonus depreciation in the first year along with the regular monthly depreciation. However, when the asset is place in service the middle of the year the application doesnt calculate the full 20% bonus depreciation in stead it is porate among the remaing months left in the financial year.
Ho do I set the my Tax book to allow for full 20% to be calculated on the assets no matter which period in the finanial year the asset is in service?
Please your ideas are more than welcome.

Well, the only thing I can think of is to look at the bonus depreciation rule assigned to the asset. Maybe the wrong rule has been assigned to the asset? Or the rule has been set up incorrectly? You would really have to supply detailed information about the bonus rule setup in order for us to give you any good responses. Otherwise we are merely speculating, which means you could be off chasing down dead end alleys and not figuring out the issue. There is no proration involved in the bonus depreciation rules window, but you do define a from year and a to year. So maybe from year is 1 and to year is 2? Don't know. Could be possible that you have run across an Oracle programming error. If the bonus rule looks ok, I would suggest reporting this to Oracle support.

Russian Bonus Depreciation

Hello,
For the Russian bonus depreciation we have tried to follow the configuration steps according to note 944927 but the configuration entry for the last step (Customizing for Financial Accounting -> Asset Accounting -> Information System -> Country-Specific Functiond -> Russia ->Investment and Improvements) is missing in our IMG. The highest installed Support Package is SAPKH60006.
Allthough we have tried to configure new depreciation keys for the bonus depreciation, this only works in association with linear depreciation methods. If we use non-linear depreciation methods the system calculates incorrect annual depreciation values.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
You don't need to create a special depreciation key for MACRS depreciation. If you are using the US depreciation chart, the key is already there. You do, however, have to set the calendar to the correct dates. But the standard depreciation key M200 works just fine. If you are not using the US depreciation chart, copy it in a testing environment and pull up depreciation key M200 in tx AFAMA and copy it from there. In this case, you would also have to adjust the calendar. I hope this helps.

E.

Bonus Depreciation for subsequent acquisitions in 2010

Hi all,
We have done bonus depreciation for 2010 and 2011 aand its working fine but for one scenario.
Assets acquired in 2009, had bonus depreciation calculated for 2009. But when there is subsequent acquisition in 2010, its not calculating bonus depreciation for the 2010 acquisitions. We are not using any sub asset concept but are adding to the original asset.
Please let me know how to ptoceed ahead.
Thanks a lot in advance,
Sajan

Hello Jay-R
I have the same question the multi level method maintained as below
My requirement is I need 50% reduction on the asset addition therefore for the year 2015 it should be 500 in reduction since there is 1000 addition to the asset. Please provide me your input on how I can achieve this.

Not full month depreciation

Dear SAP Experts,
We have a need to calculate the fixed assets depreciation - not for the full month, but just the last 3 weeks of it.
For example, we post the APC as of 01/07/11. We need to depreciate our fixed assets from 01/08/11 to 01/31/11 only instead of posting the full-month depreciation amounts. The depreciation for January 2011 should be:
monthly depreciation amount/31 days in the month * 24 days (from 01/08/11 to 01/31/11 )
The remaining depreciation periods should be the full amount based on the depreciation key and useful life.
This is a one-time requirement and I was wondering what the easiest and automated way of doing it in FI-AA is.
Please advise.
Thank you in advance,
Inna

Hi Shayam,
Thank you for your prompt response.
Our company is going public and we have to post the fair market value of fixed assets to reflect the purchase accounting entries at a date which falls on e.g. 01/07/11. That's why we need to calculate the 3/4 of the monthly depreciation rate.
If we cannot switch from daily to monthly depreciation back and forth, is posting the depreciation for the first week of month back manually the only solution for us? Or is there any better (or more SAP standard) way of doing that?
Please advise.
Thank you in advance,
Inna

Bonus Depreciation for the year 2010

Hello Gurus,
I need to configure for the bonus depreciation based on the newly enacted US law 2010. The requirement is, for the asset purchased between 3rd Jan 2010 through 07th Sept 2010, the bonus depreciation need to be calculated @50% as special depreciation. The balance need to be depreciated as ordinary depreciation for 2010 and the remaining periods. For the assets purchased between the period 08th Sept to 31st dec 2010, the bonus depreciation need to be100%.
Please let me know the step by step configuration that need to be done for:
1. Depreciation key M20S.
2. The base method to be maintained
3. The multilevel method
4. The period control method for depreciating the values for the above mentioned dates
5. The bonus depreciation need to be calculated only for 2010 and should not be calculated for 2011 and onwards.
Also please let me know if there is any SAP note for 2010 Bonus depreciation calculation
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Sri

Bonus depreciation Economic Stimulus Act of 2008 for FY Apr-Mar company

Dear SAP expert,
I tried to apply bonus depreciation by referring SAP note 1148489. But in some cases, I have a problem.
Our company's fiscal year is Apr.-Mar. Not Jan.-Dec.
I registered a test asset of acquired on 3/31/2008(eligible bonus dep.) and assigned depreciation key which is configured for the bonus depreciation to the asset in the master data. But when I tried to assign the dep.key, system shows error message.
Another case, asset acquired on 4/1/2008, system looks working properly.
I guess the system needs different configuration if company fiscal year is Apr.-Mar.
Could anyone help the above issue?
Yoshi

Thank you for your comment.
Is it multi level method? If so, I tried both 2008 and 9999. But it did not work same error(E651 SYST: Depreciation key ZTX1 is incorrect).
The definition is the following.
Acq.Year:2008
Years:0
Per:1
BaseVal.:01
Percent: 0.0000
Rem.Life: blank
Reduc.: 50.0000
Our system version is 470 Enterprise.

Special/Bonus Depreciation

Hi,
There is one asset on which special/bonus depreciation is applicable say @50% each year. Depreciation is calculated at the end of year. Both ordinary dep and special dep. are calculated correctly.
Now there is further acquisition in the next year to the same asset. At the end of 2nd year, when the depreciation is calculated, ordinary dep is calculated correctly but no special dep. is calculated.
The company is using declining bal. method.
What can be the error. Can anyone help me out.
Regards.

Hi
Acq yr. 2010 / no. of yrs 1,
Acq yr 2011/ no. of yrs 1,
Acq yr 2012 / no. of yrs 1,
With the settings that you have done above - you have told the system that for the Acquisitions done in 2010, Spl Dep is to be calculated for only 1 year.... Same for 2011 and 2012....
Thats the reason system is not calculating it in the 2nd year and onwards... If you want it to be calculated, Change the 1 to 2 or desired no of years.. If you enter 999, then it will be calculated each year and every year

Full unplanned depreciation posted into period

Hello,
posting an unplanned depreciation SAP AA divides the full value between all remaining periods of the year.
Is there a way to change the behavior, so that the full value is posted to the month it is posted?
I have found hardly any customizing settings for unplanned depreciation and I found no documentation to how it is calculated.
Can anyone help me
Regards
Anton

Hi Anton,
You did not mentioned what transaction code you used in posting your unplanned depreciation before you got the scenario you described in your posting.
For you to post unplanned depreciation for a specific month without the system distributing the full value between all remaining periods of the year, use transaction code ABAA.
It is important that you complete the following fields correctly.
1. Company Code : Specify appropriate CC
2. Asset : Specify the asset number
3. Sub-number : Specify if you have one, otherwise, leave blank
4. Document Date : Specify doument date
5. Posting Date : Specify Posting date
6. Period : It is important that you specify the period you want to post the unplanned depreciation to. If you leave blank, the system would just use your posting date and may distribute the amount over the remaining periods of the year.
7. Trans. Type : 640 (Unplanned depreciation on old assets data)
I hope the above helps.
Do not forget to award the points please.
Regards,
Jacob

Special tax bonus depreciation

Hi,
I am working on SAP 4.7. Has any one of you worked with Special tax depn in USA (30% and 50%). SAP note 505069 is not working as per requirement. With the depreciation keys M20S, ordinary and special depreciations are calculated correctly in the first year. From the second year, the ordinary depn is not calculated on NBV/remaining useful life for each year. Absolutely, there are no useful notes in SAP nor the documentation available. If some one of you worked on this, kindly advise.
Raghu

Hi Scott,
Try recalculation through Asset Explorer AW01N ( using the claculator like icon)
If this gives you the right dep amount you are looking for, you can save the rec-calculation from Asset Master AS02.

Full depreciation for low value assets

Hi Gurus,
How to set up depreciation key of low value assets to get asset fully depreciated irrespective of depreciation start date.
For example :
Asset No : xxxxxxx xx
APC : 5000 INR
Dep. Key : xxx (100% Depreciation)
O.Dep.Start Date : 14/05/2006
In the above case depreciation was calculated only for 322 days
But I need to calculate depreciation for 365 days ie 100%.
Please advice.
Best regards
Raja Manhoharan V.S.

There is a standard depreciation key with description LVA 100%. i am not sure if dep key is GWG or something else.

Want to Post Differential Depreciation retrospectively

Hi,
We have SLM method for Depreciation. We have created new Depreciation key and change it in existing asset code in the month of June-08, the previous rate was 5.28% now it was changed to 25%. System is calculating differential Depreciation retrospectively for the Current Financial only e.g. system is calculating differential Depreciation (25%-5.28%) for the month of April-08 and May-08 only. It is not calculating the depreciation for the period before April-08 in AFAB.
We have run the AJAB to close the asset book. We have checked configuration setting in AFAMS, the validity start is maintained as From Capitalization date.
We want to post the differential deprecation irrespective of Current or Past financial year in June-08.
Please suggest what more configuration setting need to be done while creating new Depreciation key for 25% to get the full differential depreciation posted in the June-08 itself.
Regards,
Vinay

Any chanage in the depreciation key of a asset master will effect for the current year only. You cannot change in now and exepct the system calculate retrospectively.
What you can do is post a Unplanned depreciation for this asset in the current month manually calculating the diffrence up to the previous year.
