Post depreciation by asset

Hi Guys.
Is there a way of posting depreciation by asset in a specific depreciation area?
I mean, we wanna have acc. deprec account x expense deprec account for each asset in AFAB process.
Even having many, many, many, bseg lines.
Here in Brazil we have an area to control CIAP and my customer wants clear monthly postings with that one posted on acquisition.
Best regards.

Hi,
SAP standard does not allow you to do so, you are not allowed to
select assets for individual dep postings when you are
doing "planned posting
run" in AFAB. Individual assets can only be selected for posting in repeat run. Here
system will allow
you to post a repeat run only
for the periods for which
planned posting run has
already been done.
Regards

Change in Useful life of asset in mid year, but the previous posted depreciation should not be changed

Dear Experts,
I have a requirement in one of my client, We need to extend the useful life of asset in mid of an asset fiscal year and the depreciation which was posted in the previous should not be changed.
Requirement:
Useful life of asset is to be extended after completing depreciation for 4 years and in-between the current asset fiscal year. Provided the present asset value has to be taken as the new book value of the asset and the depreciation posted henceforth to be posted based on the new asset value till the remaining useful life.
Previously posted depreciation should be unchanged.
Analysis:
1.      The fiscal Year followed - October to September.
2.      The useful life of asset will be changed, and the depreciated value posted till 31/mar 2014 will have the old depreciation value ( based on the original acquisition value)
3.      The Depreciation key used in of type LINR (linear), depreciation value will be calculated based on the Book value till the asset value becomes ZERO at the end of useful life of the asset.
4.      We can change the useful life of the asset at the end of a Asset fiscal year say FY- 2014, if this is done the existing configuration will take the Book value of the asset at the end of the Fiscal as the asset value and the new depreciation will be calculated based on the new useful life of the asset. The asset value will become ZERO at the end of the newly changed Useful Life.
5.      But the requirement is that the useful life of the asset will be changed exactly half way in between existing Asset fiscal (i.e., 31/03/2014), if this is done system will change the depreciation value based on the new useful life ( since the Dep Key is LINR), but the depreciation value will change from the fiscal start say October 2013 to September 2014 ), which will not satisfy the requirement of the client. Since the depreciation which is already posted from October 2013 to March 2014 should not be changed.
Note:
1. We are not willing to retire the asset and create a new asset with the remaining book value as asset value and start depreciation.
Kindly let me know if the requirement can be fulfilled without retiring the asset.

Dear All,
This requirement has been completed.
1. I created New Multi level valuation method with base 26 ( Net book value w/o Revaluation ).
2. New depreciation key was created and the above method was assigned to it. I never changed the Base method.
3. new interval was created in the depreciation area, with this created dep key and extended the useful life of the asset. The depreciation was calculated according to the requirement.
Originally the asset had useful life of 5 Years, I changed the asset useful life to 8 years now with new Depreciation key 2001.
Depreciation was already posted to the asset till 04- 2013 for an amount of 148.27 SAR.
Net Book value carried forward to 2013 = 1575.56 SAR
Depreciation already posted till 4th period =   148.27 SAR
Current Net book value after useful life extension           = 1427.29 SAR .
Now the new depreciation key 2001 with Multilevel method 201, will take this Net-book value as Asset value and will depreciate along the useful life of the asset till it becomes zero.
Planned depreciation of 2013 ( remaining 6 months) = 166.24 SAR
Planned depreciation of 2014 = 225.96 SAR
Planned depreciation of 2015 = 225.96 SAR
Planned depreciation of 2016 = 225.96 SAR
Planned depreciation of 2017 = 225.96 SAR
Planned depreciation of 2018 = 225.96 SAR
Planned depreciation of 2019 = 131.25 SAR
Total      = 1427.29 SAR ( the Asset value becomes zero at the end of its remaining useful life.
The previously posted depreciation from 01.01.2013 to 30.04.2013 was untouched.

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

Not posted depreciation for an fixed asset

Dear SAP Guru's,
I have the following situation at my company:
I have an asset where the first APC value was posted in year 2000. The useful life for this asset was 3 years.
That means in 2003, the asset was fully depreciated.
The problem is that in 2004 it was made again an APC posting on this asset, but nobody has seen that the useful life still ended. Therefore this amount was never planned for depreciation and as consequence it was never depreciated.
Now the problem is that the financial department wanted to retire this asset but they received the error message that they can not retire the asset because there is still value on the asset.
Which options do I have in this case to be able to plan and post the whole remaining depreciation in this month (31.11.2010) in order to do after wards the retirement?
Thanks,
Best regards,
Melitta

Hi Melitta
1. Do an un-planned dep posting or
2. Better and simpler option would be do ABSO using Transaction type 101... You can enter a P&L account of your choice (Which will be Debited) and asset will be receiving the off set posting

Can we close Fiscal Year for Assets without posting Depreciation?

Hi All,
My client has 11 Company Codes. During the year end activity, I closed the FY of Assets for 10 Co. codes (T.code AJAB) and 1 is pending as depreciation is not posted for some assets yet. The client wants me to close the FY for assets without posting the depreciation.
Can anyone guide me on following doubts:
1. Is it possible to Close FY for assets without posting depn?
2. If YES, then what can be the adverse consequences of it?
3. If NO, then what is the alternative reply I can give to my client?
I hope the above info. is sufficient.
Regards
Amarendra

Hi All,
Finally I got the solution. I had to do some off track adjustment which might not be allowed otherwise. After getting that confirmation from the client that:
1. They want to post zero values towards Depreciation for the year 2007 &
2. After closing the year, later on there wont be any adjustments for the closed FY 2007
When client gave me above confirmation i did following steps:
1.Note down the Current Depreciation Key of the asset
2.Change the current depreciation key to u201C0000 - No depreciation and no interestu201D (TC: AS02)
3.Close the fiscal year 2007 (TC: AJAB)
4.Change the u201COrdinary Depreciation Startu201D date to 01.04.2008 for ALL the Depreciation Areas of that asset (AS02)
5. Restore the Depreciation Keys of the assets as per the step 1 (TC: AS02)
6.Open New Fiscal Year 2009 (TC: AJRW)
So now the depreciation will be calculated from 01.04.2008 and no values are posted towards depreciation for the year 2007.
Off course in the normal course of time above solutions are useful.

Amarendra

Depreciation posting for Book Assets to Cost Center

Dear Friends,
We have upgraded from 4.70 version to ECC6.0 EHP4. Fixed Assets was not
implemented in 4.70. Now we are implementing Fixed Assets module in
ECC6.0.
We have copied the Standard Chart of Deprecition 0IN from Client 000
and renamed the same as BCLL: Chart of depreciation: BCLL.
I defined asset masters and maintained Cost center and Bus Area in the
Time Dependent area.
I maintained the configuration in Transaction Code ACSET for the
default Cost Center.
But while posting depreciation i.e. AFAB, the system is throwing error
and not posting to the Cost center defined in the asset master.
Hence I am maintaining the Default Cost center in OKB9 for depreciation
posting.
Please help me in resolving the issue.
Best Regards
Srinivas A

Dear Friends,
As pointed out by you, I have already activated the Account Assignment KOSTL and also maintained the Account Assignment Object in ACSET but the system is throwing the error "Account 4850 requires an assignment to a CO object", Message Number KI235.
The system is not posting to the Cost Center maintained in the Asset Master record.
Hence I posted to the Cost Center maintained in OKB9 but I understand this is not the correct appraoch.

Problems posting depreciation for legacy assets taken over

We recently loaded conversion balances for asset with a takeover date of Aug 2nd, with various prior capitalization dates. The date of last depreciation posted was set as Dec 31st 2004. When we try to post unplanned depreciation for all of 2005 in December, the system says depreciation for period 12 was already posted, so do a repeat run. There was no depreciation actually posted for period 12, because there were no assets before today. A check of the expense account and depreciation report and a search by depreciation doc type confirm this.
When we try a repeat run, it says cannot do it for period 12, need to do it for period 000. When we try it for period 000, it says no depreciation areas to post to. The config has been checked and the depreciation areas and posting periods are set up correctly. The load, the depreciation posting and all steps for closing of asset fiscal year were successfully carried out in DEV and QA. The only difference in PRD is that the year was closed before the load, but we reopened it.
Also, the opening balance in the asset history sheet for 2006 does not agree with the closing balance for 2005, the difference being the planned depreciation amount. The FI-AA reconciliation report RAABST02 also shows a difference only in the Accum Depn accounts, equal to this figure. So clearly the system THINKs depreciation was posted. When we try to close asset fiscal year it says depreciation was not completely posted for 2005, but it won't let us post it. HELP!

I tested this whole thing in DEV and QA before we did the same process in PRD, and I was able to run depreciation in those clients, so I think the problem is specific to PRD. As I mentioned, the only difference in PRD is that we had closed the fiscal year so I had to re-open it to perform the load.
Yes, the problem I have been experiencing has been for Dec 2005 and I don't expect there to be anything in TABA because the system simply will not let me post depreciation of any type, for any period in 2005. I've tried it for period 8 as well. No matter what, it keeps insisting that depreciation was already run for period 12 2005 and to do a repeat run. When I try a repeat run, it says 'the last posting run was for period 000' and that only period 000 can be posted in the repeat run. When I try doing it for period 000, it says "there are no areas to post to".
I did try to reverse the Y/E close with OAAQ for 2005, but still no luck getting depreciation running. So you see why resetting it was looking like a good option? :-0

Where we have to open and close posting periods in asset accounting

hi sap gurus
can anybody give where we have to open and close posting periods in asset accounting
thank you
venkatareddy

Hi Venkatareddy,
You make specifications for fiscal years and posting periods in the SAP R/3 System in Customizing for Financial Accounting. This is done in the fiscal year variant in the global parameters of the company code. These settings are, in general, also binding for Asset Accounting. The depreciation periods in Asset Accounting then correspond to the posting periods in Financial Accounting.<b> It is usually not necessary to create a separate fiscal year variant for Asset Accounting.</b>
The period control in the depreciation key determines the start and end of depreciation when asset transactions are posted . The period control determines the relationship between the calendar period in which the asset transaction is posted and the depreciation period.
These calendar periods are independent of the posting periods in Financial Accounting. The only restriction is that the beginning of the first calendar period and the end of the last calendar period defined in a period control have to match the start date and final date of the fiscal year in Financial Accounting.
Kindly let me know if this useful for you

Report of posted Deprecation with ASSET CLASS

Hi Gurus,
We require a depreciation simuation report with Asset class as mandatory one.
Could you please tell me path and t-code for the above said report.
Regards,
Praveen.

Hi Praveen,
You mentined before you wanted to view depreciation simulation, for this RASIMU02 is the report to use.
However, if you want to see depreciation planned /and or posted you can use the Asset Balance RABEST_ALV01. If you click on the indicator "current book value" you will see the actually posted depreciation and current Netbook Value. Also in this report you can enter the Asset Class in the selection parameters.
Regarding viewing the note I forwarded to you previously: you can view it via the SAP Portal - http://help.sap.com/. If you go to SAP ERP tab, you will see on the right hand side pannel a link to SAP Notes. Here you can view any note.
I hope this helps further.
Kind regards,
Brigitte

Posting Depreciation for last year in the current year

Hi,
We have a situation in which we have to book depreciation for assets that were put into service since last year in the current year. The depreciation expense was accrued and reported when the year was closed out. However SAP wouldnt allow us to calculate the depreciation for anything before 01/01/2009. The assets were put into service in July of last year and hence we need to post 6 months of depreciation that we accrued last year in this posting period (when we will be capitalizing those assets). How do we go about doing this?
Here is what we tried:
1. Manual Depreciation: Doesnt work. The depreciation key we are using (LINA) doesnt allow manual depreciation
2. Changing the ordinary dep start date: You can change this date to last year but it wont calculate the depreciation from last year. It just starts the useful life from last year. The depreciation that is being caught up starts from 01/01/2009
3. Unplanned Depreciation: This is not an option because it goes to a different G/L account. The client wants it to be in the regular depreciation expense account only.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Hi,
So far my knowledge goes there is no way wherein you can capitalise assets in currnet year and account for dep from the previous year unless you go for post capitalisation vide ABNAN.Let me try to explain it by the following example.
FY: April to March
APC 10000/
Rate od dep   10%
Ord dep Start   01.10.08.
Asset capitalisation date 01.10.08 but posted in the system on, say   01.04.09.
Line items for ABNAN
70   Asset A/c     10000
75   Acc Dep                          500(on 10000 @ 10% for 6 months)
50 Rev for post capitalisation 9500.
FB60 Line items.
31   Vendor Account       10000
40 Prior per dep                   500
40 Rev from post capitalisation 9500.
I do hope you will be able to clear your confussion.
With best wishes

Not able to post depreciation in the new co code

Hi
I am trying to post the Depreciation using AFAB into a newly created Co Code for the first time. But the system throws the below error asking me to post to the last month of the previous year.
You can only post in new year after closing the previous year.
Message no. AA687
Diagnosis
You want to post in a new fiscal year. However, a posting must have been made in the last period in the previous fiscal year before you can do this.
Procedure
Post to the last period in the previous year first.
But this is a new co code which goes life in the middle of the current year. Then why is it asking to post the depreciation for the last month of the previous year.
Also, I have closed the last year in asset accounting without any issues using AJAB. But still why is it showing this error. Please help me how to overcome this error and post the depreciation for the first time in the new co code.
Thanks

Hello All,
My Fiscal Year is from November to October. My transfer date is 31 Oct 2013. Oct is my last period (Period 12) for FY 2013.
I have uploaded legacy Asset values in the month of Febraury (Period 4 of FY 2014) and now trying to run the depreciation run in the new co code for the first time. But I am facing the error and system is not allowing me to post the depreciation.
When I opended the Asset year 2013 and the FI Period for 2013 also and tried to post the depreciation but it says no values exist for posting depreciation in that period. Then I closed the Asset Year for 2013 using AJAB and also did the asset value transfers to the new year 2014 using AJRW.
Again tried to post depreciation using AFAB in period 1 of 2014 but no use. It gives the same error :
You can only post in new year after closing the previous year.

When you have an investment order/WBS create from there the AUC. You collect the cost on the AUC. Final you fill in the settlement rule the final asset in (from a normal asset class) and then you transfer the costs to the final asset.
In the IO or WBS should be assigened a investment profile and the asset class AUC should be set-up correct

Asset Settlement You cannot use this transaction type to post to this asset

Hi All,
A CAPEX is created. An Asset is created. The asset is assigned to CAPEX under settlement rule. Out of several purchases made against the CAPEX, settlement for 2 months are carried out and the value of CAPEX was transferred to Asset.
However, during the current month, while doing the settlement, the system is giving the following error :-
"You cannot use this transaction type to post to this asset"
Message no. AA 834
The details diagnosis of the error message is
"The transaction type entered belomgs to transaction type group 15. It has been specified for this transaction type group, that it is only allowed to post to asset classes for which it has been explicitly allowed (for example, the asset class for assets under construction). The asset to which you are posting belongs to class PM-501 (chart of depreciation DEIL). You cannot post to this asset class using the transaction type entered"
Request to please let me know what could be the possible reasons for system giving such message adn how to rectify it.

Santosh

Hi Santosh,
I would suggest that you Check the <b>asset number</b> you entered. You may want to allow posting to this asset class using this transaction type group. If this is not the case, then, you may have to ask the business to reverse the initial posting causing this error and re-post with the correct transaction type that is allowed for this asset class.
I hope the above helps.
Do not forget to award the points please.

Standard report to show last transaction date posted to an asset

Is there any standard report in asset accounting which shows- to view the last posting of transactions to an asset (if there were up or down movement on the asset values) excluding the depreciation posted.

Try individual Asset transactions report , you can specify posting date ranges here and display report Asset wise -- S_ALR_87012048 - Asset transactions ,S_ALR_87012050 - Asset Acquisitions ,S_ALR_87012054 - Intracompany Asset Transfers ,S_ALR_87012052 - Asset Retirements
Also check S_ALR_87012058 - List of Origins of Asset Debits .
Lastly you can go with the Query SQ01 or SQVI reports.
