Posting depreciation on special period

Hi,
We have this problem. We have 2 evaluation areas: 01 (fiscal area) and 20 (cost accounting area).
For the previous years SAP correctly posted depreciations on period 12 for area 20 and on period 13 for area 01.
For year 2007 we had some problem. All the depreciations have been posted on period 12 (both the areas). We would like to know: why this happen?? We have lounch transaction AFAB for period 12 and the system posted both areas. Why?
Where can I customize the period on which the balance account have to be updated?
And do you have some ideas related to the correction of this problem??
Thanks in advance,
MV

Hi,
I'm Lara .. I've the same problem ... did you find the solution?

Post manual/unplanned depreciation in previous period

Dear Experts,
I really appreciate for your advices on the following issue.
I have posted depreciation up to period 9, 2010. However, there's an unplanned depreciation journal that was missed to be posted on period 8, 2010. Therefore, I tried to create the unplanned depreciation journal on period 8, 2010 (t-code ABAA).
When I tried to execute the depreciation (t-code AFAB) on period 8, 2010 with Repeat, Restart, and Unplanned Posting Run, the depreciation could not be posted. Then I tried to execute the depreciation on period 9, 2010 with Repeat Posting Run and the unplanned depreciation posted through ABAA on period 8, 2010 is posted on period 9, 2010.
I have an objective to post the the unplanned depreciation on period 8, 2010 instead of period 9, 2010 even though the depreciation has been posted up to period 9, 2010.
I really appreciate for your advices on how to post unplanned/manual depreciation on previous period or if there is any other work around available for this matter.
Thank you.
Best regards,
Frans Sunarja

Hi Frans
You have 3 options
Option 1 SAP recommended, but too cumbersome
You can reverse the depreciation posting using ABF1
refer this thread for more details
Unable to post depreciation- Error AA730
Option 2
Else, pass a manual JV to shift the depreciation from current month to previous month.... You can remove the auto posting tick in FS00 for depreciation for the time being
The JV shall be Dep a/c Dr and a Balance sheet a/c credit in Previous period AND opposite entry in current period... This balance sheet account shall be clubbed with Accum Dep a/c in your FSV (financial statement version)
Option 3
Same as option 2.... Use T code OASV to pass this JV
Use Accum Dep a/c instead of a balance sheet account... OASV will allow you to pass JV into recon account

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
Gemini

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.

Post to the last period in the previous year first.
But the previous FY 2013 is already closed. Looks peculiar.
Please suggest since this is very crucial for us to go live.

Depreciation run with special period

We require 2 set of FS reports:-
1.) FS as at 14/12/2007
2.) FS as at 31/12/2007
We have use the following period to derive the the reports
1.) Period 12 (Transactions 1st - 14th Dec 2007)
2.) Period 14 ( Transactions 15th - 31st Dec 2007)
Q1.)Should Dec depreciation run on period 14?
Q2.) If yes, will the depreciation run capture the depreciation from 1st - 31st Dec 2007?
Q3.) We have tried to run Dec depreciation in period 14 but error "According to the posting cycle, you should post period 012 next."
Pls advise
1.) Steps to run Dec 2007 depreciation in order to capture the whole month depreciation.
2.) Which period to open in OB52.
Kindly assist as this is urgent. Points will be rewarded. Thank you

Dear Hari,
Thank you for the helpful points. Rewarded.
FYI, our cut off date is 14th Dec 2007. Any transactions after this date will go to period 14. In OB52, we set only period 14 open to block user from posting to other periods. Will this affect the depreciation run (given scenario where we run AFAB for period 12)?
When we run AFAB for period 12, this is the error we get:
Period 12 is not allowed
Message no. F5567
Diagnosis
The period entered (12) is different from the period calculated (14) and is also not in the interval for special periods (013 to 016).
System Response
Error.
Procedure
Correct the value entered for the posting period.
What shoud we do?

Can SAP run the depreciation for closed Period and posting to diff month?

My client forgot to run the depreciation for Jan 2011, and now the Jan period has been closed and report also done.
My solution was to re-open the Jan and does the depreciation, once completed reclassify Jan depreciation posting to Feb 2011 manually.
I am just wandering whether SAP can handle this different way.
Can SAP performs Jan (Closed Period) depreciation and post to Feb period automatically or any other suggestions?
Cheers

Hi
Yes, you can do that
Follow this thread... Unable to post depreciation- Error AA730
Using ABF1, you can do it

Can posting with Special Periods possible 4 other than Last posting period?

Hi Gurus,
My client is following a calendar year specific fiscal year (JAN TO DEC). Now, is it possible to post accounting documents or any documents giving any of the 4 special periods and with posting date as that of March? This is for income tax purpose...
Fiscal Year Variant USED is K4.
Regards
Deepak

Hi,
This is not possible, as the period has a conversion attached to it internally, i.e., the period is derived from the posting date, as such the special periods (13-16) will only remain in the period field of the document when the posting date is in December. Else it will be overwritten by the posting date period.
If you are in a non-ECC system, you may look at building an April to March ledger in Special purpose ledger, which will have its own balance carry forward and adjustment postings for the tax year. The SL uses the same postings from the FI ledger, however you can set a different fiscal year variant for the special ledger, so April will become period 1 in SL, while remaining 4 in FI.
Cheers

Capital Investment Area was posted Depreciations in an incorrect period

Hi ,
Capital Investment Area was posted Depreciations in an incorrect period, they skip a period.
Can you determine if we can reverse those postings so that they can post in the correct period?
Would appreciate your fastest reply.
Regards
Prasad

All,
Thanks for your answers, the solution would appear to be that the commitments have been accidentally carried forward into 2010 Fiscal instead of 2009 fiscal.
There are no Invoice plans set up on the PO's, thanks for that suggestion though.
The reversal in KSCF does not work and produces an ST22 error dump on our system.
SAP note 971411 appears to fix the error so we will implement the note and hopefully be able to reverse out the commitment.
Thanks to all and if I can assist you FI guys with MM answers I will

MIRO - Posting to special periods

Hi all,
Is it possible to post MIRO documents in special periods.I am not finding Period field in MIRO screen. in FI transactions it is there.
please help
sunoj

Hi,
Special Periods can be used only in FI module. We can not use Special Periods in MM module.
One more thing, once a period is closed in MM module, we can neither reopen the closed period nor post any transactions in that period.

Depreciation was posted wrongly in previous period

Dear All,
Our fiscal year start from July - June. Now we are in 7th period. In 6th period for one of the Goodwill asset depreciation has been posted mistakenly. Now user is asking to reverse in 7th period. is it possible to reverse depreciation in current period which was posted in previous period.
Please help me in this.
Thanks and regards,
Mr.Rao.

Hi Srinu,
Now our Fiscal year is 2012 started form July-2011 to June-2012.
This Goodwill asset has been capitalized on Current Fiscal year 6th period (20.12.2011).
For this asset depreciation posting has been activated for 01 & 05 depreciation areas. For 05 depreciation area one depreciation expenses G/L account has been maintained in AO90 for the account determination. But this G/L account has not been created in this company code.
When the depreciation job was ran, only 01 depreciation area posted and the 05 depreciation area has not been posted.
I have created the same scenario in Testing client. When I execute the depreciation for the 7th period it is saying that "Last posting run terminated (Restart in period 2012 006)" . When I run the AFAB for 6th period by selecting the Restart button, the system is saying that "Account 'Expense account for ordinary depreciat.' could not be found for area 05".
If I request my client to create this G/L account for this company code, may be they will not accept because it is not required to create.
Could you please suggest me in this.
Thanks and regards,
Mr.Rao.

Use of special periods if SAP

Dear guruz,
Please help to get more information about posting in special periods (13-16) in SAP.
We have following situation:
After year end closing we need to audit our financial statements for external use (IFRS). As audit lasts several months I cannot afford to leave the balances of new year unuploaded. So I perform the balance carry forward procedure before the audit starts.
Now I'd like to add some corrections in audited reporting by use of special posting periods.
My questions are:
-does these postings, performed after balance carry forward procedure affect on accounts in future (is this possible to face with problems in the future); Do I have to repeat the balance carry forward procedure?
-is this possible to divide all the postings (for internal reporting and for audited reporting) to be able to see these balances in standard SAP reports (such as S_ALR_87012300 "GL account balances" and so on) with and without postings made by use of special periods in previous years.
respect,
Oleg.

1. I don't think that assumption is correct. Bal. c/f program can be run multiple times. Also, once bal. c/f program is run, if you make any postings in the previous year they are automatically carried forward to the current fiscal year. Here is the bal. c/f program documentaton.
This program is used to carry forward the balances of the general ledger or another ledger to the new fiscal year.
The program can be run multiple times.
Normally, the program does not need to be run more than once, since postings to the previous fiscal year are automatically carried forward to the current fiscal year, if the balance carry forward program has already been run.
Generally, the balance is carried forward as follows:
Balance sheet accounts are transferred with all additional account assignments.
P&L accounts are carried forward to the retained earnings account. Additional account assignments are not transferred. The transaction currencies are not transferred and are totaled in the local currency.
2. In your case, if you are using new GL, you can create a non-leading ledger and post audit adjustments only to the non-leading ledger. You regular postings for the year hit both the leading (0L) and non-leading ledgers.
3. I am not good at asset accounting - so I can't answer your question on depreciation for audit adjustment postings.

FI-AA Normal and Special Periods

hi,
In Asset Accounting there are normal and special periods for a fiscal year,why do we use the special periods?
Vinay

The fiscal year version defines the number and relation to the calendar of the depreciation periods in the fiscal year in Asset Accounting. Asset Accounting generally uses the same fiscal year version as Financial Accounting (general ledger). In this case, the depreciation periods of Asset Accounting correspond to the posting periods of Financial Accounting (without special periods).
Special period is used to enter the transactions which occur after the end of financial year but related to that financial year & also for making closing entries.
Special period is used as a control method for making closing enties by restricting through authorization.
Warm Regards

In repeat run, can i calculate Depreciation for perticular period.

Hi
when I calculate the depreciation in Repeat Run, It shows the message that for 12 periods only the Dep is calculated.
But I want to calculate the Dep for Particular period. Is it possible?????
If possible pl give me the suggession
Venkata Raju

Hi,
You can't do.
See below note:
It is possible to repeat the posting run within the period last posted. However, in contrast to the first run for a period, the repeat run can be restricted to specific assets. In the repeat run, the system posts changes to depreciation, as compared to the depreciation amounts from the previous run.
Normally the repeat run is carried out at the end of the fiscal year, if completing postings are necessary because of corrections to manual depreciation or depreciation terms.

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.

"lock" values of tax depreciation for previous periods

Hi all,
is it possible to lock calculated values of depreciation for previous periods? We need it for the case when e.g. depreciation key is changed. Then we want preserve the values for previous periods and change only the future values. But please note that we want this for depreciation area, which does not post values to GL.
thanks
Zbynek

Hi,
It did not work for me. I changed the useful life from 30 to 20 yrs and then used menu path Edit/Recalculate values. Then I used the Tx S_ALR_87012936 to display the depreciation values for individual months. But all the values were the same, i.e. the values for previous periods were not kept.
So is there a way to keep these values?
thanks,
Zbynek

In oneasset class i have created 2 assets by using of aso1 after that i acquired one asset for that i run the depreciation for first 5 periods, it has been showing depreciation for those period but if i am trying to run the depreciation for second asset i

in on asset class i have created 2 assets by using of aso1 after that i acquired one asset for that i run the depreciation for first 5 periods, it has been showing depreciation for those period but if i am trying to run the depreciation for second asset it is not showing first 5 periods why it is not showing? Is there any reason?

Hi
Repeat run you can do only for the last depreciation period. For the asset which you are tryin to post depreciation from July to Jan, please check the asset value date which you have given while posting the transactions or in the asset master.
If the asset value date is in July, then deprecaition from July - Jan will get posted in the current month depreciation in total. You will not be able to post depreciation individually month wise using AFAB.
