Issue on asset tax depreciation balances

Dear Experts,
I have a critical issue to be resolved. Someone please guide me.
I want to change the opening balance, current year transactions
accumulated depreciation of year 2008 (Fiscal year variant V3 -
Apr to March) of group assets in tax depreciation area (15) using tcode
AS82. This is required because during data migration in 2006 the
tax dep values for group asset were not entered accurately. With
this the dep calculated was wrong resulting in wrong net bbok value
further wrong carry forward bal in 2007 Apr and so on. My client
now wants atleast correction of year 2008 values so that the future
calculations are right and done by SAP for tax report. What should I do
for this?
What impact would be there if I change Asset Transfer date because
when I go to AS82 to change the takeover values of a group asset in 2008
i get an error msg " Closed fiscal year doesnt agree with legacy data
transfer date" Transfer date is 31.07.2006. This is really critical
and I have been posting this from days but no response. Please help
me experts.Any help would be really appreciated.

  • Issue on migration of tax depreciation balances for group assets

    Dear Experts,
    My client is using group assets for tax depreciation report India.
    The SAP implementation was done in 2006 during the data migration the
    client was not clear of the values both individual asset wise and
    group asset wise to migrate to tax depreciation area. So the tax
    depreciation for some of the assets are migrated with some
    (non caluclated) value.
    Now the client want to see the tax depreciation group asset wise or if
    possible individual asset wise.For this the group asset need to be
    created and assigned to each individual asset in the asset master
    record.
    The fiscal year variant is v3, april to march with 4 quaters June,
    Sep, Dec, Mar.
    Now when the data migration for the current year come into picture
    I can use AS81/AS82 for loading current year opening balance and
    accumulated depreciation for all the group of assets as a whole. Or
    I can use AS91/AS92 to load balances into tax depreciation of
    each asset individually. But I am not sure whether this is correct.
    And also what to do with the previous years balances. I am very
    confused. Somebody suggest good solution.
    When I create a legacy asset or group asset in AS91 and AS81
    respectively the fields in the Takeover values screen are grayed
    out and do not allow mw to input values. But I am able to enter
    values by clicking the button Transactions in the Takeover values
    screen and able to enter a value date , transacton type and amount
    for tax depreciation area. Here again I am not convinced using 100
    transaction type for current year opening balance. I used
    transaction type 652(Unplanned tax depreciation on current year
    acquisition) for accumulated current year dpereciation upto second
    quarter septemeber 2008.
    In asset explorer under "Planned values" tab the opening balance
    must be visible under Fiscal year start column but it is displayed
    under change column as I entered values for tax depreciation area
    in AS81 in Transaction screen with asset value date as 01.04.2008
    transaction type 100 and amount as xxxxxx and value date 30.09.2008
    652 xxxxxxxx.
    Need expert guidance on this

  • Config of Group assets - Tax Depreciation Calculation : India

    Dear Seniors,
    can you please explain the configuration of the Group assets and how exactly the tax depreciation calculation in India happens for the individual assets with scheme of entries.
    Thanks and Regards
    Sathish

    Hi,
    In India, depreciation on assets for the purpose of computation of net income as per the Income Tax (IT) Act 1961 is calculated over a block of assets instead of individual assets as allowed under the Companies Act 1956. Asset acquisitions and retirements are managed over the block level. The IT Act prescribes certain rates of depreciation to be used under the Written down Value (WDV) method over these asset blocks to compute depreciation.
    The following are the customization settings that may be followed in the R/3 system in order to manage your assets in the income tax depreciation area.
    1. Copy the standard chart of depreciation 0IN as provided by SAP and create your own chart of depreciation.
    2. Use the depreciation area 15 for the purpose of management of assets under the IT Act. Make it statistical in nature. (Reference Transaction Code: OADB). Do not check the box negative net book value.
    3. Specify that the Income Tax depreciation area takes over the APC from the book but not make it identical (Reference Transaction Code: OABC).
    4. Create an asset class for the purpose of income tax blocks. This asset class will be used to create only group assets. (Reference Transaction Code:  OAOA)
    5. Specify that the depreciation area for income tax can be managed only for group assets. (Reference Transaction Code: OAYM). This would mean that depreciation for this depreciation area would be computed only at group asset level.
    6. Specify that the asset class defined in (b) above will be used for creating group assets only. (Reference Transaction Code: OAAX)
    7. Two period control methods (IT and NL) have been defined in the system for determination of start or the end of depreciation calculation at the time of a fixed asset acquisition or retirement. You may use these period control methods while creating the depreciation keys for the purpose of IT depreciation.
    Calendar assignments have been made for the above mentioned period control methods in order to reflect valuation requirements as per the Income Tax Act (Transaction Code: OAVH). You may create your own period control methods depending on the fiscal year variant you use. The period control methods supplied are based on the fiscal year variant V3.
    8. Depreciation Keys: The following depreciation keys have been created in the system. They correspond to the income tax blocks that are prescribed under Indian tax laws. They are as below:
    Depreciation Keys:
    1. IN1 - Tax Depreciation - 5% -
    I Hope it will give you some basic guidance.

  • Asset tax depreciation transfer

    Hi Folks,
    My business need is to transfer separate value for tax depreciation than other depreciation areas during intercompany transfers. Is this possible in ABT1N?
    If we are transferring an asset with a gross/net or new value method, we do not want the entered revenue or nbv to be taken by tax depreciation area in new asset, we need it to be a different value... how can we achieve this?
    Thanks.

    You need to use the derived depreciation arera concept of SAP.
    You need to create a document type for Periodic posting to dep are tax and need to say in how dep areas are posted as "2" (periodicallly).
    Then you need to create a derived depreciation area the number of which should be more than the book and tax dep areas (Assumption is 01 is book 15 is tax then the derived area number should be >15), Use depreciation wizard for creating a derived area. you can give different GL accounts for different dep ares in AO90 for posting.
    You do your transactions as per the process and need to execute ASKBN for periodic values to be posted. After that you run AFABN to realise the values differently.
    This should siolve your requirements.
    Reward if useful.

  • 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 value for Calculation of Tax Depreciation

    We have been told that many of the assets created as of 1/1/2008 have a different (lower) tax value than their beginning book value.  Book value is correct for standard book depreciation.     Is there a process to update the tax value of assets created in SAP similar to the transaction AS92 used to update values for Converted Assets?
    It was suggested that we use the method of Unplanned Depreciation tcode ABAA with TTY 642/652 to change the tax value of the asset.  When I tested this I found the various tax depreciation methods were calculated based on the beginning book value for year 1 and not using taking the special depreciation into consideration until subsequent years.   This is using Depreciation Area 10, MACRS, Dep. Key M200.
    Is there a better method of altering asset book value for tax purposes or a better way to alter the tax depreciation calculation so it takes Unplanned Depreciation into consideration during year 1?
    Current simplified tax depreciation example:
    Beg. BV $1,000
    unplanned dep posted $100
    tax depreciation for year 1 $100
    tax depreciation for years 2-10 $88.88
    The preferred depreciation is $90 years 1 - 10.
    Thanks for your assistance,
    Jeff

    I think I had the cart before the horse on this problem.  The correct way to look at this is what is the best way to get the correct "Net Book Value" and not the correct tax depreciation posting as it never actually gets booked.  
    By knowing the incorrect Beginning BV, the rate depreciation is applied in year 1 and finally the desired Net BV value at the end of year 1 for tax purposes I am able to calculate the correct Unplanned Depreciation for tax to make everything work out correctly.
    correct beginning tax BV $1,200
    Beginning Asset Book Value $1,800
    depreciation $360 (20% of BV)
    Unplanned depreciation  $?
    Net BV for tax at end of Yr1  $960 ;  or  1,200 - (1,200*.2)
    With the know values above that makes my unplanned depreciation for Yr 1 to be $480.  Year 1 and all following years depreciate correctly after the Unplanned Depreciation is posted.
    I am marking this as resolved unless someone sees an error in my thinking.
    Thanks,
    Jeff

  • India Tax Depreciation (group asset)

    Hi FICO experts,
        I'm having some problem with depreciation calculation for group assets to adhere to India IT Tax Depreciation  regulation. As per IT law,
      1. asset acquired <180days shall be depreciated at 1/2 of the depreciation rate for the fiscal year
      2. asset acquired >180days shall be depreciated at full rate for the fiscal year
        I've created depreciation key with period control NL and IT, and configure 2 depreciaiton area i.e 01 for book and 02 for tax depreciation in India COD. 02-Tax depreciation is configured as managed at Group asset.
        I created 2 Assets i.e Asset A and Asset B and both linked to Group Asset C. Say the depreciation rate is 15%
    1. Asset A - Acquired on P1 of 2008 --> INR10000
    2. Asset B - Acquired on P9 of 2008 --> INR10000
       A & B are linked to Group Asset C in 02-Tax depreciation area.
         When I view Group Asset depreciation, I noticed that the deprecition for 2008 computed as (1000015%)+(1000015%). Thus, although Asset B is still being depreciated at full rate of 15% instead of half of the rate.
        Besides, is that normal that I'm not able to see depreciation at Asset A and Asset B in tax depreciation area 02 when they are managed at Group. I can only view the deprecation at Group asset C?
        Appreciate help if anyone have similar experience. Thank you in advance.

    WJ

    Hi,
    If you want to adhere Indian IT laws then follow the below mentioned steps:
    1. Maintain a relationship of 1:1 of AS01 & AS21, means when you create a new normal asset it should be tagged with a new group asset.
    2. Try to use SAP standard delivered dep. keys.
    3. Change asset value date determination in SPRO.
    4. Tagged group asset into the normal asset master.
    5. Check tax dep.figures under group asset.

  • System is not calcutiong tax depreciation in the asset master.

    Hi SAP Team,
    As per configuration, SAP system is not calculating depreciation in the
    area 11 tax depreciation in the asset master,however it is not
    calcuating tax depreciation at the group asset level.
    In our system we linked group asset in the area 11 in the asset master.
    Thanks
    Chinna

    Check screen layout rules for that asset class, the field might have been suppressed.
    SPRO --> Fin Acg --> Asset Acg --> Master data --> Screen Lyaout --> Define screen layout for asset master data -- select relevant screen layout rule assigned to asset class.
    Click on logical field groups ---> General data --> Field group rules...... select radio button under optional

  • Tax depreciation for fixed asset in Singapore

    Dear all,
    One of our client in Singapore want to run tax depreciation in fixed asset module as below .       
    They want to run depreciation with stright line method pro rata by the year of useful life      
    and the depreciation will be posted only once a year at the first period of the year that acqusition.      
    (No matter when they acqusition the asset)     
    For example : if they do acqusition an asset = 300,000  S$  on any date in year 2009 with useful life 5 years,      
    the depreciation should be posted as below:       
    Depreciation per year = 300,000/5  = 60,000      
    31-Jan-09     Depreciation should be posted = 60,000
    31-Jan-10     Depreciation should be posted = 60,000
    31-Jan-11     Depreciation should be posted = 60,000
    31-Jan-12     Depreciation should be posted = 60,000
    31-Jan-13     Depreciation should be posted = 60,000
    How shuold I can do the configuration for this requirement ?    Please kindly advise.
    Mary_K

    Hi Mary,
    I'm from Singapore. Here's how you will configure the system.
    Create a dep area for Tax depreciation. You should create new Period Control Method (AFAMP) where you will assign 06 period control to acq, add, ret, trn. 06 means start of the fiscal year.
    After that, you create a "Dep Key" to assign this period control method. Then in the dep area per asset class, assign this dep key to the tax dep area.
    The system will default the start of dep for tax the start of the fiscal year regardless of when it was acquired within the FY.

  • Depreciation calculation for Indian Tax Depreciation Area - Fixed Assets

    Can any one of you kindly advice how to setup the Multi levels methods and Period controls for Tax Depreciation key in Indian Tax Depreciation area.
    My Leading ledger Fiscal year: Jan u2013 Dec (Year dependend)
    And Non-leading ledger (India) Fiscal year: April u2013 March (Year dependend)
    I was able to post correct depreciation for leading and non-leading ledger Depreciation areas with a stated percentage. But the calculation of Tax depreciation area is incorrect.
    As per client requirement, Tax depreciation area is setup only reporting purpose and no Depreciation posting.
    Required Depreciation Calculation for Tax Depreciation Area:
    For Acquires & Additions,
    Rule1:
    If it is >=180 days (as per Non-leading ledger Fiscal year) the system should calculate depreciation as stated percentage. Eg: 10%
    Rule2:
    If it is <180 days (as per Non-leading ledger Fiscal year) the system should calculate depreciation of 50% on stated percentage. Eg: Stated percentage is 10%, then it should be 5%.
    Early responses will be appreciated.
    Thanks much for the help.

  • Issue with Asset Retirement without Revenue (ABAVN)

    Hi Experts, hope that you are able to help shed some light on an issue with retirement without revenue (Scrapping).
    We have an asset capitalised in FY 2007 with two depreciation areas 01 - Book & 15 Tax. There have then been settlements made to the asset from WSB Elements using transaction type 331 & 336. These were through FY 2008 and depreciation was calculated correctly throughout this time.
    The issue was then in FY 2009 when there have been negative settlements posted (adjustments) to the asset and then the asset was retired. The retirement was posted but the values aren't what was expected. It was my belief that the posting should be credit APC, debit accumulated depreciation and then posting to a loss account defined in AO86.
    Period Control are the same for retirement '01' for both the straight-line method in book depreciation and the declining balance method in the tax depreciation area .
    The posting has been pretty much as expected in the book depreciation area - but in the tax depreciation area where the depreciation key is declining balance there is a reported gain from the retirement.
    The report for depreciation are 01 - book shows retirement $1m split between $1.1m in PY and -$0.1m in Current Year.
    The issue is that in the tax depreciation area the amount posted for retirement is $1.0 but depreciation posted is $1.125 and -$0.5 with a respective Gain for both prior year (PY) and current year... why has this happened ???
    Thanks in advance
    Chris
    Retirement posting:
    PK 75 CR APC value                 TType 200
    PK 70 DR Acc. Dep'n CY          TType 250
    PK 70 DR Amortisation              TType 290

    Thanks Tarun,
    I've solved checking the limitation in Customizing. There was a limitation for the Retirement: this was activated only for first Depreciation Area, so for the other ones no retirement will be calculated and net book value was always not equal to zero.

  • Tax depreciation area and non-leading ledger

    I want to know how to post assets retirement and transfer transaction into non-leading ledger.
    I setup one depreciation area 50 for local tax depreciation and accordingly one non-leading ledger ZZ for local satuary report.
    Depreciation area posting indictor
    01: Book depreciation             1
    50: Tax depreciation               3 (only post depreciation)
    90: Variance (50 minue 01)      6
    system was able to peform below:
    1) for acquisition transaction, same APC value was updated into both ledger
    2) for depreciation, different depreciation amount can post into each ledger
    But I don't understand below results:
    1) For retirnment transaction, there is only one FI document posted into leading ledger with APC and accumulated depreciation. But I could not find any related document in non-leading ledger.
    2) Same as assetes transfer transaction
    3) But in assets explorer, the APC, accumulated depreciation was cleared correctly, also there is difference of accumulated depreciation in area 90(derived area)
    I think it was different with my expectation: I thought SAP can post FI document to each ledger with APC and different accumulated depreciation.
    My question was how to get the APC and accumulated account balance in non-leading ledger with local tax depreciation based.
    Thanks in advance!

    Thanks first.
    ASKB was "Periodic Assets posting" but in our IMG the G/L posting indictor of prallel depreciation area was 3 (only post depreciation) and 6(only APC directly).
    The setting was configured through the SAP wizard "Setup Areas for Paralle valuation".
    Can you give further advice?

  • Tax Depreciation running

    Hi
    I have done configurations for Depreciation calculation.  I have three depreciation areas : Book depreciation, tax depreciation and cost accounting depreciation.
    By running AFAB, I can view the book depreciation and post it also.
    I am unfamiliar about the tax depreciation running and posting.  I request your comments on this urgently.
    Please tell me about the pre-requisites for doing this also
    Regards

    Dear Babu
    Its like this, In Indian context you will create say maybe 13-14 group assets through AS21.like
    Plant & Machinery 15% GroupAssetNo 1001
    Plant & Machinery 80% GroupAssetNo 1002
    Plant & Machinery 100% GroupAssetNo 1003
    Building 5% GroupAssetNo 1004
    Building 100% GroupAssetNo 1005
    Building - Roads 10% GroupAssetNo 1006
    etc.
    In the"Allocations" layout you have field Group asset. Enable this field. While creating the asset through AS01, if it belongs to class Plant&Machinery then give it an appropriate Group Asset number 1001,1001, 1003 under the allocations tab. At the end of fiscal, listing of Group Asset 1001 will provide you the details of  Block of P&M to be depreciated at 15%. Further transaction listing will provide you the list of additions / disposals to the block.
    The only issue you will get stuck is that not more than one person can work with a single Group asset i.e if  someone is processing GA 1001 then company wide no one else can work on that. So you need to create group assets quite intelligently.
    Hope that clarifies.
