Period factor : Depreciation posting

In the depreciation simulation, I find a 'period factor' with some value 0.5656. I dont get how this factor is derived by the ssytem. My asset value is 250000 and the declining depreciation rate is 10% with a 99 useful life.

It is possible that the asset was capitalized around the 5th month (around 206 days balance )of the year which brings in the computed period factor. Check your depreciation start date - It may not be for full year.
Thanks

Posting period of "Depreciation Posting Run" problem

Hi all,
I was configured my company code with 12 period of nomal fiscal year (defauld fiscal year variant K4). I think Posting period field of Depreciation Posting Run screen (T-code: AFAB) must have 12 posible entries, are 1,2,3,...,11,12. But when I display posible entries of this filed, it only have to posible entries (000-000, 000-365). So that, I can't choose a period to excute real depreciation run.
How to define posible entries 1,2,3,..,11,12 of posting period field of Depreciation posting run screen?
Chinhvh

Hi,
If I have understood your question correctly
When u do F4 in field "Posting Period" in AFAB you get the following screen:
From            To
000               000
000               365
You don't do F4 in that field. Since your Posting Period Variant is K4, just manual input the relevant posting period in the field. i.e if you want to post depreciation for April then just input Period 4 in the field.
Now what you have to be careful is which depreciation method you are going to select for doing the Posing Run. (i.e the Reason for Posting Run fields)
You have 4 methods which is described below:
1. Planned Posting Run. (This should be done if all the depreciation upto the earlier posting period has been done properly under the planned posting run).
If you have done unplanned run for earlier periods and have never done a planned posting run for the earlier periods for the concerned asset, then you cannot do planned posting run for period 4 directly. You should first do planned posting for period 1, then for period 2, then for period 3, and then finally for period 4. The depreciation will be zero for Posting periods 1,2,3 if your start depn in your asset master is 1st April.
2. Repeat Run: You can use this to do repeat run. You can do Planned depreciation run only once for a particular asset for a particular period. You can then do a repeat run for doing the depreciation run for the same asset.
3.I don't think you wll need to do Restart run.
4. You can do unplanned depreciation run directly for period 4, if you have not done the depreciation run for the particular asset for the earlier period. but this is not recommended. This should be done only in specific circumstances when you have no chance of doing either planned depn run or repeat run.
Pl assign points.

Error: No depreciation posting required in period 009 (current period)

Hi,
I am getting error " No depreciation posting required in period 009" and 009 is my current period.
The description of the error says " Do depreciation is posted, since according to the posting cycle no postings are required in this period". In fact this is the first time i am running depreciation. I want to post the depreciation for 1st period. More over i could not able to see the planned values in asset explorer also.
Whenever i am entering this asset in the asset explorer it is giving the above error. But while i run the depreciation its not giving any error. When i check in spool to view the depreciation, its giving msg as "List contains no data" check error log.
Could anyone help me in resolving this error. what could be the reason for this error.
Thanks
Sabera

Hi,
I checked in TABA table, its showing that till 9 the period depreciation has been posted. But i have not posted the depreciation. If it is posted, then it has to show in the planned values as posted, but its showing as "No depreciation" and its not even showing the depreciation for other periods. Could you able to clear this query? I wonder why it is giving this kind of error.

Depreciation Posting Run for Period 02 in 2008

Dear All,
I have closed the 2007 fiscal year for fixed assets and executed the fiscal year change successfully. I have also executed the depreciation run for January period 01 without any errors, however, when I attempted to execute the depreciation run for February (period 01), I keep on getting this error message:
_Test run was terminated. No documents were created in this run_
Upon further investigation, I got this long text for the error message:
In the number range interval for the document type for posting depreciation, a document has been posted which was not created within the framework of depreciation posting. The last document posted by depreciation posting was assigned the number.
I have checked my number ranges and there is really no problem there.
Can somebody please help me as we need to close the financial books for period 02 and would not be able to do this until the completion of depreciation run.
Thank you in advance for your kind assistance

Check first wht is the posting period varient assign and than check all the assignments...including the number ranges and document types.
than try to run it again
hope it works

Last period where depreciation was posted

Hi All,
What transaction/report can I use to find out the FY/period where depreciation was last posted? I am using ECC 6.0
This is useful for doing testing for company codes in test systems that are note up-to-date in their depreciation runs.

Roy

Hi
You can use these reports:

ERROR IN DEPRECIATION POSTING

Hi!
Experts,
Can you please tell me the Number Range for Depreciation Post is External or Internal?
My problem is:
When I keep Number Range as internal, system not allow me to post the depreciation and give the following error at the time of Test Run:
Create document number range 60 using external number assignment
Message no. AA759
Diagnosis
Processing had to be terminated, since you set up the document number range 60 for the year 2007 with internal number assignment.
System response
You should create a document number range with external document numbers for periodic depreciation posting, since the document numbers are not assigned from Financial Accounting, but by the posting program of Asset Accounting. The external number assignment, therefore, should not be understood as manually entering the document number. It is only external from the point of view of the Financial Accounting application.
Procedure
Change the number range 60 from internal to external number assignment in Asset Accounting Customizing.
While
When I keep the Number Range for Depreciation as external, at that time Test run of depreciation run successfully and also show account document generate, I also check generated document by double clicking on document number in the test run and it is correct, it is also run successfully in background, but
what happen when I am going to check my accounting document of Depreciation and Acc. Depreciation, no balances shows in this a/c., while in AW01N depreciation for the period which I run is shows in green, i.e. posted.
while depreciation amount shows in to the controlling report like KSB5 & Cost Center Report.
Rakesh

Hi
Up-to version 4.6 it is external and from 4.7 internal
In the table taba you can found the last number that you used in 4.6
When you do an upgrade from 4.6 you have to change the number range to internal and fill in the last used number (is in table TABA).

Problem with depreciation posting for an asset with a '0' net book value.

Hi,
I have a problem with depreciation posting on one asset. I think it should not be calculated and posted at all.
On 1st November 2010 (our Fiscal year starts on 1st November) there was acquisition posted to an asset and then it was reversed on the same day - so the net book value was '0'.
In AFAB depreciation run for April 2011 - it posted depreciatoion of 0.01 Euro, so now the book value is -0.01.
Do you know how this could have happened and what can I do to get the value of this asset back to 0?
Thank you,
Karol

Hi Murlidhar,
Thank you for your reply.
I just have one doubt - as depreciation of 0.01 Eur was posted in previous period leaving net value of asset equal to -0.01 Eur.
Shouldn't I get ritd of this asset value before I proceed with the steps you suggested?
I think it is not possible to reverse the depreciation - so I struggle to find a way to bring asset value back to zero.
Thank you,
Karol

Depreciation posted as debit instead of credit

Hello Gurus'
For few Assets only, Deprecation in 7th month (Calender year is followed) got posted as debit instead of credit & also amount posted was 6 times than the usual monthly depreciation.
Please help.
Thanks,
VK

Hi,
If you posted depreciation for a period, then your FI entry will be like below.
Depreciation expense GL account Dr
To Accum Dep B/S GL account Cr
Since your debit entry will be posted to an P&L GL and credit goes to accum dep B/S GL account.
This is the standard functionality only.
Please check your accounting entry for depreciation posting.

OAYC can not modify the the last depreciation posting year and month

Dear all,
I will set the asset last depreciation posting fiscal year and period, but, in the OAYC T-CODE, the fiscal year and period feilds is unabled.
use F1 key, the detail message is :
Fiscal year of last depreciation posting
In this field, the system enters the fiscal year for which depreciation was last posted. If legacy data transfer is carried out during the course of the fiscal year, you must manually update this field.
The field is not available for input if legacy data not transferred within the fiscal year, or if depreciation is not posted in this depreciation area.
But I do not how to correct it .
Please help me. thanks.
Passion Wu

Hi,
Answer for your query is available in your question only.
The field is not available for input if legacy data not transferred within the fiscal year, or if depreciation is not posted in this depreciation area
There are 2 ways to upload the legacy asset to the SAP system.
1) Legacy asset upload at previous fiscal year end
2) Legacy asset upload during current fiscal year
When you use the 2nd method only, system will allows you to enter those last posted dep period and fiscal year OAYC.
In this context your legacy asset transfer date should fall within the current fiscal year.
Ex: If your FY is APR2MAR, then your transfer date cannot be the end date of last closed fiscal year.(31.03.2009)
It should be like 30.04.2009 or 31.05.2009 or 30.06.2009 and so on.............
Hope this will help you.
Thanks,
Srinu..

Error Message:
Documents manually posted within dep.doc.number range
Message no. AA728
Diagnosis
In the number range interval for the document type for posting depreciation, a document has been posted which was not created within the framework of depreciation posting. The last document posted by depreciation posting was assigned the number .

Error Depreciation Posting Run

Dear All,
I have a trouble about depreciation posting run, there is an error message when I tried AFAB.
Right now, I already maintain the validation (OKC7) in order to change the error [E] message become warning only [W], so atleast the depreciation could be posted (depreciation can be posted, althought there is still error on it).
The trouble already occured for 2 periods (Apr-May), and I've just found the error---there was incorrect posting for the asset class.
Should I use F-92 (asset retire), ABAON, or there is any other solution for this?
Please advise...
Thanks & regards,

Depreciation - Post in the Previous Year

Hi,
I am trying to post the depreciation for Jan 2010, but the system is giving the error that I need to post in the preious year first.
However when i am trying to post the depreciation for the previous year, its giving the error that previous year is closed. Can anybody help me how to resolve this issue. Thanks.
Regards,
S.Sumana.

Hello Sumana,
I have encountered similar issue in one of my clients. What you need to do to remedy the situation is that you need to open the Asset fiscal year in OAAQ and then post depreciation month wise till the current year start. For posting depreciation you also need to open the old accounting period but if there were no asset postings in previuos years then you do not have that risk of anything getting posted in books(which are already closed) in those prior fiscal years. This was from books point of view you maintain status quo.
Close the previous asset years and posting years once you are done with depreciation posting for a particular year.
After you come upto date you can run the depreciation normally in current year.
Regards,
Vijay
