Post depreciation expense directly to CO_PA

Hi SAP gurus,
I want depreciation expense posted directly to CO-PA with specific characteristics such as depreciation expense of asset A should be posted to characteristic: customer X, division Y, business area Z.
These below are what i've done:
In OKB9, I checked "PrSg" button.
In OKC9, I define substitution to force system to post to PrSgs that I need.
but when depreciation run, all i see in Profitability Analysis documents is only 1 characteristic "company code".
I try to test substitution i created.Create a document in T-code: fb50 that meet prerequisite, the result is: this document display all characteristics in substitution rule. So why substitution rule not work in depreciation transaction?
Could anyone help me what is wrong in my work and how to obtain my goal?
Thanks in advance any help!

Thanks Pradeep kumar Athmakur!
You mean substitution does not work in this case, don't you?
Instead, how to use derivation to derive characteristics from fields that are not characteristics?
Such as: derive  division X + distribution channel Y + business area Z from asset A. Asset is not a characteristic.
So, Using derivation is possible in this case, isn't it?
Thanks so much!

  • Non-leading ledger depreciation area posting depreciation expense at current exchange rate - need to be historical

    Hi all,
    We are facing an issue where we have a depreciation area "02" posting to our non-leading ledger. It is set to post depreciation only.
    I noticed the depreciation expense is hitting the non-leading ledger and translating (CAD) into group currency (USD) at the current exchange rate. But in the leading ledger, the rate is historical.
    How can we have the non-leading ledger post at historical exchange rates for depreciation postings?
    thx..

    Hi Jay,
    Check the exchange rate type & translation date maintained for the non leading ledger in OB22.

  • Depreciation Expense For Related Project Assets

    Dear All,
    I have a question, Please help.
    How can I post depreciation expense from Oracle Asset to Oracle Project Costing for assets that working and assigned to Projects like equipments and Cars that assigned to project..... and we want to post their deprecation expense as burden in oracle project costing ????
    ++Please find the below my search conclusion in past few days.++
    1- Oracle Say that "There is currently no interface between Oracle Assets and Oracle Projects which allows you to post depreciation expenses directly to projects."
    2- I have non-complete idea: I have a project Segment in AFF so I can Post depreciation expense for related project assets to GL directly, with Project segment value and create Expenditure Batch in Oracle costing to manually enter depreciation expense as lump-sum in Oracle costing but it is not preferred to create Entries in Subledger Accounting and not send it to GL so my question in this work-around, Can I Create Expenditure Batch and only create Distributions 'PRC: Distribute Labor Costs' ???
    And don't create rest steps "PRC: Generate Cost Accounting Events,PRC: Create Accounting, PRC: Transfer Journal Entries to GL"
    Please suggest best solution or help me in my work-around, its urgent
    Thanks in Advance
    I Orouk

    Kindly find the below case as example ---
    There are 5 equipment like trucks and cars that working in project X100 so I want to show depreciation expense for the mentioned assets as Burden on the X100 Project in Oracle Project Costing Module..
    Please Consider the below focal points:
    1- Regarding Oracle Assets business Cycles. Oracle Assets send depreciation expense to GL directly and there is no any impact in Oracle Project Costing about Depreciation expense(for Project related assets )
    2- Project X100
    Project Cost = 10000 $
    Depreciation Expense for the 5 equipment (Project related assets) = 1000 $
    Real Project cost = Project Cost 10000 + Depreciation Expense for the 5 equipment 1000 = 11000 $
    I want to show Real Project cost in Costing Module so I have to record Assets Depreciation Expense for the Project related assets in Oracle Project Costing .... Can you help me about what the best way to record Assets Depreciation Expense for the Project related assets in Oracle Project Costing and please review my suggestion about expenditure batch in 1st post

  • Direct posting to expenses VIA cheque

    Hi
    Is there a way to post & print cheques directly to expenses account, without Dr. to vendor/customer.
    Thanks, Sathya

    Hi
    In Standard SAP, it would not be possible. Try using one time vendor functionality for the same and print the cheque through F-58. Alternatively, you can develop a Z Transaction for printing the Cheque and writing a cheque manually in the system through FCH5.

  • Depreciation posted against expense GL account are incorrect

    Dear All,
    We have a situation as depreciation incorrectly posted against accounts 500000 and 500020(these are two Deprn GL accounts). This is due to,
    a. July-September is accounting depreciation that has not
    been adjusted for tax
    b. There is an incorrect accrual that was posted to the
    500000 account in September.
    Please find attached a breakdown of the values. Can you
    please advise how to resolve the YTD GL balance for tax
    depreciation expense so it is correct and reconciles to the
    movement in the accumulated depreciation accounts.

    1 - Transfer Wrongly posted Amount to Correct Amount by useing T.Code: FB01 ( 40 - 500000 Rs XXX & 50 - 500020 XXX)
    (Here it will effect only FI not AA)
    2 -1 -  Identify Assets howmany assets effect wrong GL account through Table : ANLB

  • 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

  • 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

  • Prompt for cost center when posting depreciation

    Hi all,
    Do you know where can i enable 'Depreciation posting with cost center'? Now each time it ask for cost center.
    Thanks.

    A cost center must be defined in order to post depreciation because it is posting to an expense account.  In the SAP standard setup, expense accounts must have a cost center assignment, revenue accounts must have a profit center assignment, and balance sheet accounts must have company code assignment, respectively.  To my knowledge, it would take a great deal of  FI configuration change to make the deprecation expense accounts not require a cost center (and probably unadvisable).
    Thanks,

  • Area Posts APC Only and Area Posts Only APC Directly

    With a drived depreciation area , what different result between setting depreciation areas post to general ledger
    with Area Posts APC Only(5) or Area Posts Only APC Directly(6)?
    Thanks & Regards
    Ping

    Hi Ping,
    5 means that RAPERB2000 makes the periodic posting
    6 means V2 posting.
    V2 means direkt posting. If this direkt posting don't works, the  RAPERB2000 makes the missing postings (4 and 6 have this kind of direkt postings)
    In the document header you can see:                                                       
    Transaction ASKBDN: direct posting                                                        
    Transaction ASKBN: Raperb makes the posting
    In Transaction ARAL you can see the reason why the V2 didn't work.

  • Depreciation Expense Accts

    In standard SAP world, how  many depreciation expense accounts do we need? I believe one should be good enough, since the expenses can be tracked by cost center. But come to think of it, when running depreciation in AFAB, the posting will look for accumulated depreciation and depreciation expense account. If it does not find a CO object on the dep exp account , it will error out because it will not find a cost center in the cost element "Dep Exp Acct"
    How will that work out if there are multiple cost centers that the depreciation exp account should post to. Becuase if we have one dep exp account, it can only have one cost center in the cost element (g/l acct) , not multiple.

    Hi
    There is no requirement for multiple Depreciation expense accounts.
    When you are processing Depreciation run AFAB, system will take the cost center from the respective assets and the entry will be grouped based on the cost center. If there are multiple cost centers, then you will have mulitple debits to the depreciation expense account. So one depreciation expense account is sufficient.

  • How to post depreciation to multiple cost centre?

    Hi
    In the asset master there is only one cost centre for each asset. This cost centre determines the cost centre to post to for depreciation expense. Is there a way to post to multiple cost centre?
    Hope someone can advise.
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    1) Substitution rules would help you. 
    2) Through distribution or assessment allocate the depreciation expenses to multiple cost centers.
    Thanks,

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Posting to Expense G/L through Delivery note

    Guys/Gals,
    I need to give some goods free and the Cost of these goods should be posted to expense GL which has Cost center as mandatory. Now in OBYC for that mvt type I assigned this GL, while making PGI it is giving me an error "Account 12345678 needs an assignment to a CO object". which is obvious that it needs a cost center. Now I want to give cost center in financial processing tab at item level in delivery note. but, it is greyed out. I need to activate it. please post your comment/hint on how to activate it.
    regards,
    MAM.

    Hi,
    Please goto T.code FS00 enter there you can find edit cost element tab then clic there you can maintain for Account 12345678 cost center.
    You can use KA01 T.code also.
