IM: Depreciation Forecast

Hi
Can anyone explain me the difference between depreciation forecast in IM module and PS module? I believe that they are different levels at which depreciation forecast can be done in SAP. But, please let me know more details about this.
Quick response is really appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi Steve,
the depreciation forecast (or simulation) is thoroughly described in SAP consulting note # 815513 which You can review in the SAP Service Marketplace.
Actually the note covers all areas and scenarios of depreciation simulation.
Please review it first - is this what You are looking for?
Greetings

  • Error while doing depreciation forecast

    Hi,
    While doing depreciation forecast in S_ALR_87012026 we are getting error -
    "Fiscal year change not yet made for company code LTIC"
    Same error is given while checking asset balances via S_ALR_87011963 .

    Hi,
    If you don't want or cannot close the current fiscal year yet, please check if maybe you have the previous fiscal year still opened, too.
    It is required to do the fiscal year change in order to be able to run the mentioned reports in a new fiscal year. However, since in asset accounting only 2 years can be open at any one time you should check for example if maybe your last fiscal year is 2001 and therefore you would need to close fiscal year 2002 first using RAJABS00 and then open fiscal year 2004 using report RAJAWE00. If this rule (2 years open in AA only) is taken into account, you sould have no problems to do the fiscal year change and running reports in the new fiscal year should work.
    You can check your last closed fiscal year in table T093B-ABGJA.
    You still can continue working in your previous fiscal year, the report RAJAWE00 is only a technical step and updates the table T093C-LGJAHR with the new fiscal year. For each asset, which is active, a new entry for each depreciation area in ANLC will be generated and ANLB-LGJAN is set to the new fiscal year. But the system only allows this step, when no more than one previous fiscal year is opened (eg. 2003 is the only open fiscal year, so 2004 can be opened now).
    Please assign points if it useful.

  • Depreciation forecast report

    Hello All,
    I need a depreciation forecast report that gives me the depreciation by month. It needs to subtotal by cost center and asset class. Eg if cost center X has deprecaition of 5000 which is comprised of asset class A of $1000 Asset classs B of $1000 and Asset Class C of $ 3000. I need to see
    Cost Center  X   Asset class A 1000
    Cost Cener  X   Asset Class  B 1000
    Cost Center X  Asset Class  C  3000.
    I was trying to use report S_ALR_87012936 to achive this but i can only achieve this when i run this report at a detailed level. When i run it on a summary level, the cost center is not available.
    Is there a way i can achieve this?
    Thanks,
    Zaid Azam

    Hi,
    in report S_ALR_87012936  the summary level is more or less only a different layout and a reduced field catalogue. There is no performance improvement on the summary execution. This is different to the most other FI-AA standard reports.
    So my proposal: run it on summary level, but create a layout according to your needs on the output list. Then you can start this report already as of the next time with the layout, or you can choose it on the output list any time you need it. If you need this, you could also default this individual layout.

  • Depreciation Forecast for 12 months

    Hi,
    Is there any report which gives the depreciation forecast for 12 months rather than 5 periods?
    Regards
    Madhu Vutukuri

    Hi
    You can Check the Report AR13.
    Select the Select Assets CheckBox.
    Under Further settings for Planning , it is must to select Planning on Cost Center CheckBox and Test Run CheckBox as the report is Primary Cost Planning.
    Kindly execute this in Test Run only.
    This report will display the Depreciation Forecast for periods as you require.

  • Calculate Depreciation Forecast for Fixed asset

    Dear all expert,
    I'm new to ASO, would like to know if there's a way to do depreciation forcast for fixed asset in Essbase.
    1. Database type is ASO
    2. Assuming user will prepare forecast caplitialization of fixed asset then upload to Essbase
    3. Attribute dimension "Useful life" has been defined and attached to specific "Accounts" dimension for calcluation
    4. Need to calculate the forecast and spread of depreciation for future months
    E.g. Input 32000 USD for a fixed asset cost with 32 months useful life
    -> should calculate 1000 each month for the coming 32 months
    Can any expert suggest how to do this in ASO? meaning only can do calculation in member formula itself, not calculation script.
    Thanks for your help in advance,
    Billy

    I haven't used the feature, but the reference to 'local script_file' in the MaxL railroad diagram for the 'execute calculation' command suggests the location is relative to the client, if the semantics are consistent with the 'export data' command (the options for report scripts there are 'server' or 'local', although according to the railroad diagram there is no non-local alternative in this case!).
    There is a worked example in a Rittman Mead blog post about this that might help: http://www.rittmanmead.com/2010/04/oracle-epm-11-1-2-essbase-calculations-on-aso-cubes-part-2-maxl-scripts-and-eas/
    The DBAG also says that the script files should have suffix .csc, while the Tech Ref example has suffix .txt - helpful!! If they were actually meant to sit in the server's db directory, I would be surprised to find the .csc suffix used, since that is also the suffix for aggregation scripts. Although me being surprised doesn't mean much.

  • Depreciation forecast after Asset revalution with AR29N inconsistent

    There is a need to revalue assets on a certain date in the current
    fiscal year. We did all the steps necessary to carry out revaluation
    using Transaction AR29N, using the "new valuation of an asset"
    function. After the reval the asset master was updated with the new Depreciation key and new useful life/dep start date.
    SAP calculated the forecasted depreciation incorrectly in the
    first few attempts, but after some testing it worked fine and we posted
    periodic depreciation. This worked as expected. Using the same settings
    in the same company code a new asset was revalued with a new value
    date. The problem has returned although nothing was changed in the
    system, The fore casted depreciation does not make sense.
    Examples:
    1. Asset Original Value at FY start - $100 with a planned dep of $1 for
    the remaining useful life. Depreciation for 4th FP posted. Asset revalued
    with a value date corresponding to FYP 04/2011. Revalued at $1200 with
    new useful life of 24 months and new Dep start date corresponding to
    start FYP 03. Expected depreciation PM is $50. This scenarion worked
    fine.
    2. Asset Original Value at FY start - $100 with a planned dep of $1 for
    the remaining useful life. Depreciation for 4 FP posted. Asset revalued
    with a value date corresponding to FYP 05/2011. Revalued at $2400 with
    new useful life of 24 months and new Dep start date corresponding to
    start FYP 03. Expected depreciation PM is $100. SAP shows forecasted
    monthly depreciation of $108 per month

    Hi Manish,
    Are revaluated values appearing correctly in asset explorer (AW01N) both APC and depreciation.
    If no then I would suggest to run AFAR for recalculate depreciation.
    Thanks!!!

  • Asset depreciation forecast

    Hi,
    Is there a std sap report wherein it would list all the assets and also forecast the depreciation period wise for say period 1 to period 12 for the year 2008. I want the listing of all the assets along with the forecast not like in asset explorer wherein you would get for only a particular asset.
    Thanks in advance,

  • Depreciation forecast

    Can I forecast the depreciation ? is there any program to run to update the forecast ? Please explain

    Hi,
    You can try report RASIMU02 and RAHAFA_ALV01. Both reports can be accessed by the menu path Fixed Assets > Information System > Reports on Asset Accounting > Depreciation Forcast
    The documentation below gives the details of these two reports:

  • How to get a Monthly Depreciation Simulation for next fiscal year?

    I need a report that give me the depreciation simulation for next fiscal year, but I need it monthly wise. I run report S_ALR_87012936 with report date 31.12.2011 and evaluation period = month.
    The report gives the error message AA669 Fiscal year 2011 is already closed in Financial Accounting
    I read that this report doesn't work monthly wise for future years. Is there a workarround?
    Best regards!

    Hi,
    I'm sorry there is only RASIMU02. Note 396974 describes, this is a missing functionality and there  is no workaround.
    Reports on derived depreciation areas that do not post any values to the
    general ledger are allowed with the evaluation period year. An
    evaluation using month, quarter or half-year is not supported.
    In general, the depreciation forecasted by monthly in report RASIMU02 are only for depreciation area which posts depreciation to GL. For non-GL posting area, we recommend you simulate the depreciation 
    in 'fiscal year' mode. if you simulate the depreciation 
    Basically RASIMU02 is NOT designed to provide period simulation for these non posting areas. This because RASIMU02 uses for periods which have been posted already the created ANLP. But ANLP´s  are not created for non-posting areas. So in these periods where   a depreciation run had been executed already, RASIMU02 will not show
    values.                                                                               
    For AA 669 please see:
    Best Regards Bernhard

  • Accumalated depreciation amount error in reports

    Hi,
    There is an issue that I'm facing in regards to accumalated depreciation.
    Issue: Depreciation in one of our companies is posted only until March 2009(FY 2008). However, when we are trying to draw reports for any month beyond march 2009, it is giving us the accumalated depreciation amount as on that date, inspite of the depreciation not posted for that periods.
    Eg: When we are drawing reports (using various codes like S_ALR_87011963/4/7/8 or even depreciation forecast) for the month of Aug 2009, the planned depreciation for the period between March - August 2009 is getting added up to the actual posted depreciation amount i.e., as on March 2009.
    Please suggest if there is any place where I need to make some customisation changes.
    The version is ECC 6.0 and document splitting is active.
    Regards
    Soujanya.

    Hi Suresh,
    Yes, the year end closing acitivities are not completed in the system.
    However, would it make a difference in calculating the accumulated depreciation. The posted depreciation report shows me the right figures. The only issue is with accumulated depreciation.

    Soujanya

  • Full Year Figures

    Hello
    Any assistance appreciated.
    Having a hard time getting out the current Full Year (Budget/Forecast) figures from the GL Standard Balances Folder (glfg_gl_standard_balances) as all results seem to be based on whatever Month I am requesting, whether I reference the Month in the formula or not.
    It is a fairly straight forward format for a report;
    FY_Budget FY_Forecast FY_Variance YTD_Budget YTD_Actual etc....
    Until recently (perhaps coincidently before I refreshed the GL Business Area in the EUL) I had no problems.
    The following formula for "Current Period Revised Budget" works fine;
    SUM(CASE WHEN Balance Type = 'Budget' AND Budget Name = 'REVISED' AND Period Name = :Period THEN NVL(Period To Date Dr,0)-NVL(Period To Date Credits,0) ELSE 0 END)
    All I used to do to get the Full Year figure was to leave out the "AND Period Name = :Period" bit and it worked fine. Now all I get is the same result as if I had left the call to :Period in (same problem with YTD - I have no mention of Period in the formula but it still gives me the relevant YTD figure)
    Maybe I just got lucky before or it is late in the day!
    Thanks in advance

    Yes, you can get depreciation values per month also in report S_ALR_87012936.
    In the selection screen, choose ALL SELECTIONS button ( on application tool bar)
    And then you will be getting options to set evaluation period, there you should select MONTH and execute it.
    Now you will get all depreciation forecast for each month of current year.
    Please make sure that, when you execute this report with MONTH as evaluation period, once you got output, if you cant see the monthly value columns, then go to change layout and add columns like DEPRECIATION - 01/2011..and DEPRECIATION - 02/2011 and so on.
    Please add all 12 columns and save that layout and make that as default, so that when you execute the same rreport on the next time, you will get the monthly values by default.
    Cheers

  • Standard reports in Fixed Assets

    Hi all,
    Is there any standard report in SAP that gives the information on additions made to the asset. I looked into the report S_ALR_87011990(asset history report), it has all the information I need except for additions made and corresponding depreciation for that addition. Could anyone tell me if there is any or how do I go about this problem. Please tell me if custom report is a must in this case, also the tables where I can find this information.
    Thanks in advance

  • T-code : S_ALR_87012936

    Dear Experts,
    T-Code S_ALR_87012936 is used to generate the Depreciation forecast report but when any values or useful life is changed for an asset we are not able to see the changes in the report. Could you any one advise if there additional reports available to meet the requirement.
    We need the report which can make the adjustments retrospectively.
    Thanks & regards,
    Pavan

    Hi Pavan,
    can you see the changes in AW01N?
    Have you flagged the button "Asset values at fiscal year start"?
    Perhaps note 1243806 answers your question.  In general, the depreciation forecasted by monthly in report RASIMU02     
    are only for depreciation area which posts depreciation to GL.  For non-GL posting area, we recommend you simulate the depreciation  in 'fiscal year' mode. 
    regards Bernhard

  • How BW BPS is better than R3 Planning

    Hello all,
    We need to do depreciation forecast for 10 future years.
    we have data flowing in from R3.
    We have about 3 million Asset Master base.
    We are lookin fo various options.Some of the concerns are:
    1.Is it not possible to do in R3 itself?
    If not wht can be the restrictions?
    2. wht is the advantage of using BW BPS?
    Any help appreciated!
    Regards,
    Dhanya.

    Hi Dhanya,
    In comparison to R/3, BW-BPS offers a more flexible planning environment.
    BPS offers a lot of planning functions which may not be available in R/3.
    It also gives you the flexibility to plan across company codes/controlling areas etc. as you can design your own planning structure.
    In contrast to R/3, which has separate, specific Customizing for every application, BW-BPS has a
    unified framework that is not dependent on what the customer wants to plan.
    You can integrate your planning by splitting the tasks between R/3 and BW-BPS. In areas where a
    company requires a high level of detail it is better to continue to plan with R/3. In other planning areas,
    where the goal is the most flexible simulation of structural changes and their effects, you can use SEMBPS
    to model and analyze the changes. This releases you from the relatively static conditions that apply
    to organizational structures and Customizing.
    When modeling the planning process, you have to consider the level of detail at which you want to work
    with BW-BPS or R/3. You should always plan where the data can be most effectively accessed.
    Keep the above points in mind while considering whether to plan in R/3 or BPS.
    Hope it helps.
