Negetive Depreciation to be posted.

Hi gurus,
I want to post negative depreciation in one of the asset class. The scenario is as under
There is separate block of asset for capitalization of Exchange Rate Difference (ERD). ERD can be positive or negative. so asset may increase or reduce at times.
I have posted depreciation till December in system. due to peculiar nature of the transaction, system cannot give exact amount of depreciation required to be posted so unplanned depreciation is required to be posted. That also I have done.
Now the case is after posting system depreciation and manual depreciation till December, I am supposed to change amount of asset which comes to negative. I have posted values of Asset in the system and gross block is tallied but now the amount of depreciation already posted is higher than the amount I want to post. So I have to reduce the amount of Depreciation.
Now the system didnu2019t allow me to post negative depreciation either through regular system or manual depreciation.
Please help.

Hello Sharmistha,
You can post -ve dep too. For this you need to make a small configuration, Goto T-Code OABN or Path (Financial Accounting->Asset Accounting->Depreciation->Ordinary Depreication->Determine Depreciation Areas)
- Here you will be presented with different Dep Areas assigned to your chart of deprecation. Double click the relevant depreciation area, Rules for posting/-ve dep, here Opt for "All values allowed"
Similarly you can go throuh other types of depreciation too

Depreciation error - Unplanned posting run allow for future period

Dear ,
Need urgent advice for depreciation error happen in our production system.
FYI, our fiscal year variant 2013 = Feb 2012 - Jan 2013 ( We are now at month-end close for Pr 1 2013 ).And fiscal year close 2012 AJAB and Carry forward ARJW have successfully run for new FY 2013.
In short, in our asset accounting user was accidentally run unplannned depreciation for future period 12/2013 of one particular asset, while we are now in Pr 1/2013. And, Pr12/2013 is open for asset posting.However, no FI posting posted into the system.
Just a curiosity as to why system allow user to run unplanned depreciation for future posting without giving an error message to follow the posting cycle.
The impact/error of above unplanned depreciation run:
User is not allowed to execute AFAB depreciation run for Pr 1/2013. Even worst, in the AFAB program shows from Pr 1/2013 - 12/2013 is already posted when we do depreciation test run. We can't perform any planned,repeat,restart for Pr1/2013.
Because of only one asset had accidentally run for Pr12/2013, all of our asset (96,773 asset) cannot proceed with depreciation run for Pr 1/2013 in the new fiscal year.
This is high priority as it will impact the entire depreciation run for 12 month of our company.
Your early reply on this issue is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Regards,
Latifah

Thank you for the response.
FYI, the asset posting actually has been executed but no document was posted as there's no value.
I've check the 2 tables below:
ANLC - No numbers of run for any period in FY2013
ANLP - No depreciation run was posted in FY13 (all periods).
Is there anyway for us to do normal planned run for Pr 1/2013? As i understand SAP has no function to perform reversal depreciation run in AFAB. How
With regard to the posting period 12/2013 that is open for user, I already highlighted this to the respective custodian.
Thanks.

What are the required depreciation areas to post IFRS

Hi,
what are the required depreciation areas to post IFRS
Thanks And Regards.

Hi,
You should use the local rules for depreciation area 01 = local book and
set up your group rules in another depreciation area such as 30 where you can use different GAAP.

Adjust the depreciation amount in posted period

Hi Experts,
I've changed one of my asset depreciation key from 20% to 10% straight line method. The changes is done in period 6. I have run AFAR for this changes.
Let say my planned depreciation was 1000 (for 20% dep. key) and now the new depreciation would be 500 (for 10% dep key). I would like the depreciation to be recalculate in period 1 (i.e 1000 minus 500) and distribute the amount evenly throughout the period (period 1 to 6). Is it possible?
I've run AFAB in planned mode and the changes (lump sum) will only take places on next period (period 7). When i execute AFAB in restart mode (period 1), the error says restart is not possible for period 1.
Appreciate your advise.

Hi Nana,
Have a look also at KBA 1534331 - RAPOST2000 - How to post 'planned depreciation' for
subsequent posting or depreciation change in same period
This knowledge base article describes the situation how the system will pick up the depreciation adjustment when a change in depreciation terms (e.g. change of depreciation key) has been made.
As Mukthar is pointing out, if you have run depreciation already (ordinary planned depreciation run in AFAB), and afterwards you make a change, you can start a repeat run for that very same period again and it will adjust the value equally to all periods going forward.
You find in this KBA also an attachment which outlines an example.
I hope this helps further in understanding how depreciation is adjusted after a change of depreciation terms.
Best regards,
Brigitte

Depreciation run not posted for 2006/2007 and 2008.

Hi,
I have a situation where depreciation has not been posted for 2006,2007 and 2008.
Now since there are 2 fiscal years already open the system does not allow to post to the 2008. since only 2 fiscal years can be open at a time.
Old periods cannot be opened to post depreciation.
I feel the only way out is to assign a new depreciation area?
Is it possible to change the Chart of Depreciation or active (posted to) depreciation area?
Any suggestions.
Thanks,
Daksha

Hi
If your 2007 is open then post the depreciation thru AFAB with unplanned posting run, after completing it you can close the periods & open 2008
Hope this solves your issue

When Trying to settle an internal order in KO88 to a fixed asset I am getting the below error message.
*Data inconsistency: Parallel depr. area is not posted Message no. AAPO104*
Diagnosis
For chart of depreciation ZCH, you defined this area (or these areas) as parallel depreciation areas for depreciation area 01. In the current transaction, however, not all of these areas are posted. This is not allowed.
Procedure
Check if the transaction type is limited to certain depreciation areas. If there is such a limitation, add the missing depreciation areas for the transaction type.
Check if the asset that is being posted manages all these depreciation areas.
I have checked the transaction types and they are not limited to any depreciation areas. I have activated depreciatio areas in the asset class and maintained the account determination nad assigned g/l accounts.
Please help me if I have missed any settings.
Thanks & Regards
Nirmala

Hi,
AAPO104 is generally a customizing error: the check points to consider are generally the following regarding parallel currencies: I think you have checked most of them already...
* The parall. dep. area must have the same settings as the original area (e.g. allowing APC).
* The parall. dep. area must set for identical values take over.
* The parall. dep. area must set for identical parameter take over.
* The parall. dep. area must be assigned to the currency type which is defined as parallel in FI in trx. OB22 (e.g. 30).
* The parall. dep. area must be activated in the asset class (transaction OAYZ)
Furthermore, a problem can also be that in OABT you have a parallel area customized, taking value from another area, which is customized and seen in T093. If for example this parall.area is missing on your Asset Under Construction but is there on the final asset this obviously will create the error AAPO104, too.
In any case check your settings are correct in regards to parallel depreciation areas. They must manage same values as original areas. If they don't it cannot be a parallel area.
Maybe you also need to consider the information in SAP note 317806.
Also, looking at your different depreciation areas above, it looks that you have set up a ledger scenario (areas 01 , 02 and 29). I wonder, do you have a correct set up for the parallel currency for your ledger scenario? If I am not mistaken, I don't see a derived parallel currency area. Could this be the problem?

Brigitte

Change in start date of tax depreciation not for posting in mid of year

Hi Experts,
Tax depreciation area is not for posting. The fiscal year is from Jan to Dec. I want to calculate tax depreciation from May 2011 based on Net Book Value of tax depreciation as on 30.04.2011. But once I change the start date of tax depreciation in asset master to 01.05.2011, the system ignores the previous depreciation so I am not getting the NBV of tax depreciation of 30.04.2011.
Is any setting is required to get this. I can not do changes in posting rules since this tax depreciation is not for posting any thing.
The fiscal year 2010 is closed and NBV of tax depreciation as on 31.12.2010 of one asset is 80000, If I change the start date of tax depreciation from 1.1.2011 then system correcly take NBV of 31.12.2010 for further depreciation calculation. But if i change the start date of depreciation in between of year the system is calculating depreciation based on NBV of 31.12.2010 but ignores the tax depreciation from 1.1.2011 to 30.04.2011, which I previously run using AFAB.
Need your assistance to know is it feasible to do this.
Thanks and Regards,
Harshad

Hi Harshad
The behaviour of the system is very much correct, it is designed to behave that way...
One, you should not have changed the dep start date....
two, NBV in SAP is always taken to be NBV @ the start of the year....
The best wayout I can suggest here is, if you are on EhP4 and EA-FIN active
a. Change the Dep Key in the asset... You can maintain Time Dependant Dep Terms in asset master i.e. Dep Key X from Jan-Apr and Dep Key Y from MAy onwards
b. This will however, calculate dep based on NBV at the start of the year, but based on new useful life
c. Considering your eg: The system is posting more depreciation i.e. 5333 instead of 5155.... So, calculate this amount outside the system and post a Manual Write up ABZU inorder to reduce the Dep and increase the NBV
Even if you are on not on EhP4, you can follow the same approach as above.... i.e.
a. Change the Dep Key in asset master.... This will throw up new dep figure, on the basis of New Useful life and NBV at the start of the year
b. Post a write up from ABZU....
No need to do Asset to asset transfer in my opinion
Only diff between EhP4 and Non EhP4 is that the differential depreciation would be lesser if you are on EhP4... i.e. instead of 5333 now, system may throw up depreciation amount of 5666.. So, you may need to post write up of 5666-5155

AR29N Depreciation not completely posted for asset

Hi,
I am trying to do an asset revaluation using transaction AR29N
However, the following message appears when the transaction is executed
Diagnosis
Depreciation still has to be posted for asset.....
System Response
The asset cannot be processed
Procedure
Execute a depreciation posting run for the period 001/2011
I have already executed a depreciation run using transaction code AFAB for the period 001/2011. When I go to Asset Explorer AW01N under the posted values tab I am seeing depreciation posted for the period 01 for the year 2011.
Therefore, I do not understand why the system will still issue a message execute a depreciation posting run.
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Bernhard,
Thanks for replying.
I checked both the SAP notes you recommended and other SAP notes that relate to asset revaluation and still was not able to find any one that matched my problem.
Is there anything else you will be able to suggest ?

Creation of depreciation area for posting of parallel currencies postings

while i am posting f-90 asset e. auqsiation its giving error massage
"Customizing inconsistency (contact your system administrator)
Message no. AC496
Diagnosis
Company code BP01 manages parallel currencies in Asset Accounting. For each area that posts automatically online to FI, you have to define one dependent depreciation area that adopts both identical values and depreciation terms from depreciation area 01, and which is assigned to currency type 60 and currency INR. There is no depreciation area of this type defined for depreciation area 01.
Procedure
Check your Customizing settings."

Hi Venkat,
Create a New Depreciation area with APC Values and Depn values identical to Value 01.
Then goto valuation> currencies
Specify the Use of Parallel Currencies> and assign the currency type and valuation view to the new depn area. tick the identical values
then goto
Define Depreciation Areas for Foreign Currencies> give the parallel currency against the depn area
Now try doing the transaction.
Please revert back if you still have any issues.

Depreciation Run -"Last Posting run terminated Restart in period 03 2010"

Hello Friends,
Please help me for this. I am trying to run depreciation for a CoCd 2002 in
production. When I do AFAB
for FY 2010 Period 04. It gives a error message "Last Posting run
terminated, restart in period 2010 003"
Diagnosis*
The last posting run in period 003 2010 was terminated by an error.
Before any more posting runs are performed, you must restart the
posting run for period 003 2010.
Procedure
Start the posting run for period 003 2010 again using the restart
parameter.
After this I run AFAB (03 2010) using the Restart radio tab, it runs ok in
Test and w/o Test (i.e in backgrond),
when I check SM37 - it shows a program RAPOST2000 is finished. Then I am
able to run AFAB for (04 2010)
in test and background also. Again a program is there in SM37.
But when I try to run for period 05 2010 - it again shows the earlier error
" "Last Posting run terminated, restart in period 2010 003""
You see the error message comes again.
Can someone suggest me a solution. Do I need to go sm35 and process the
Batch I/P session . Why this error is
coming up?
Regards,
George

Hi George,
please look at table-field TABA-XBUKZ.
If there is a "1" it means "Restart" necessary.
If you have the restart sign you have to solve the error and after the restart the TABA-XBUKZ shoudl change to "X".
regards Bernhard

Depreciation area not posted

I have one requirement for my new depreciation area 93, the depreciation area 93 will take same value as depreciation area 01,
but using different depreciation key
my detailed requirement is :(1) any asset disposal only post to depreciation area 01 but not 93, how to configure this?
(2). depreciation area 93 need to run monthly depreciation area, we create accumlated depreciation account and Acquisition account for each asset class in depreciation area 93, but these accounts master are not defined as reconcillation account-asset
is it a issue when we run afab for depreciation area 20
(3), when we run askbn, it doesn't adjust accumulated depreciation in depreciation area 93, should we use fb01 to upload accumulated depreciation for depreciation area 93?

Hi,
1) Use a limited transaction type.
2) Should be tested
3)   When opening of new depreciation area via RAFABNEW you have the following flags:
a.     Indicator: Leave values initial = not ticked.
           Do not set this indicator if you want the system
           to copy the values from depreciation area 01.
                                                                                b.     Indicator: Leave values initial = ticked.
           Set this indicator if you want to open the newly created
           depreciation area without any values i.e. blank.
