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

  • Posting Unplanned Depreciation when asset net book value is zero

    We recently transferred some assets from one company code to another.  However, when they transferred, the depreciation all reversed out YTD.
    We are now trying to post the YTD depreciation back in under the original company code, but when we try posting unplanned depreciation, the following error message appears -
    "In area 01, you can only post manual dep. up to the amount 0.00"
    I believe this is because the asset does not have any net book value now.
    Any suggestions on how to resolve this?
    Many thanks,

    Hi Susan,
    do you have the option to reverse the transfer postings? If so, you could specify another period control for transfer postings (such as fiscal year start, etc.) in your depreciation key, with which you can influence how much depreciation is left back respectively transferred.
    It is correct that you can´t post an unplanned depreciation on the sending asset now, because the net book value would go below zero. As unplanned depreciation does not influence the ordinary depreciation in the year of posting, this value below zero can not be adjusted with a reduction of planned ordinary depreciation.
    I am wondering which effect you´d like to have on the sending asset. Did you post a complete retirement? If so, there should be no APC left which you can depreciate on the sending asset. And as the net book value is zero already, which effect do you want to get? You have to keep in mind that the non-depreciated APC will be continued to depreciate (normally) on the receiving asset. But maybe I misunderstood the problem here ...

  • Which table contains net book value for Assets created with AS91.

    Which table contains net book value for Assets created with AS91.
    I have a problem locating where the net book value is stored in SAP.  Is it simply calculated and not stored in any one place?  I am trying to predict how SAP will calculate the net book value for some assets we plan on converting, but my formula doesn't always work consistently and I have not idea what is going on.  If it is stored in a table some place, can anyone please let me know!
    Thank you all

    Hi anar.samadzade & Michael Stewart
    It is not possible to directly get net book value of an any Table. You must migrate the gross book value (acquisition cost) and the accumulated depreciation. SAP will then calculate the NBV.
    Gross Block & Accumulate Dep you will get from Table: ANLC

  • Post revaluation to selected depreciation area for an asset

    Hi,
    We are using depreciation area '01' for posting to GL accounts and '02' for fiscal reporting. It turned out that couple of assets had wrong depreciation key specified for depreciation area '02', which resulted in wrong depreciation calculated for '02' in last 3 years.
    We would like to correct it now, once we discovered this issue. One of the ideas was to create new revaluation transaction type which is active only for depreciation area '02', which will only change value of asset in that particuaral area without affecting correct '01',
    However, after configuring new transaction type in AO84 and assigning it to '02' depreciation area in OAXJ, when I tried to run ABAW for this asset - it gave me error AA 380.
    +Inconsistency between the specifications for transaction type Z11 and for the depreciation areas in chart of depreciation PTI.
    Depreciation area 02 is defined (in Customizing), so that it is required to take over values from area 01. However, one of these ares cannot be posted to, due to the specifications in transaction type Z11. This combination is not allowed.+
    Is it possible to configure postings only to one depreciaton area? If not - is there any other easy way of revaluating only one depreciation area for an asset.
    Thank you,
    Karol

    Hi Blaz,
    Thank you for your reply. I am trying to increase the value of the asset in depreciation area 02, because due to wrong depreciation key it got fully depreciated last year in 02. I want to add the value to 02 which should have not been depreciated in last 2 years. Is there a way to increase its value using ABAA?
    Thank you,

  • Depreciation Posting for Unit of Production Method

    HI,
    This question is related to posting of Unit of Production depreciation method.
    Ref to my own Thread - Hourly Depreciation on Assets
    I have configured the deprecitaion key for UoP method. The same is been assigned in Asset Master.
    But now the problem is, during AFAB processing the assets with UoP depreciation key is not getting picked.
    Is there any other way to post the depreciation for such asstes?
    Thanks & Regards,
    Ajay Gupte

    Hi,
    Thanks for your replies.
    1. UL field status is optional in "screen layout for depreciation areas" config and we do not want to change to any other method, t.code OA77 does not exist.
    As per help for field UL it says "If a useful life is not entered in the asset class, and you use depreciation keys that calculate automatically, this field is a required entry regardless of the settings in the screen layout control".
    2. Thanks for this we are using 0018, if we use 0019 it is calculating.
    I will try this and let you know.

  • Calculate Depreciation Forecast for Fixed asset

    Dear all expert,
    I'm new to ASO, would like to know if there's a way to do depreciation forcast for fixed asset in Essbase.
    1. Database type is ASO
    2. Assuming user will prepare forecast caplitialization of fixed asset then upload to Essbase
    3. Attribute dimension "Useful life" has been defined and attached to specific "Accounts" dimension for calcluation
    4. Need to calculate the forecast and spread of depreciation for future months
    E.g. Input 32000 USD for a fixed asset cost with 32 months useful life
    -> should calculate 1000 each month for the coming 32 months
    Can any expert suggest how to do this in ASO? meaning only can do calculation in member formula itself, not calculation script.
    Thanks for your help in advance,
    Billy

    I haven't used the feature, but the reference to 'local script_file' in the MaxL railroad diagram for the 'execute calculation' command suggests the location is relative to the client, if the semantics are consistent with the 'export data' command (the options for report scripts there are 'server' or 'local', although according to the railroad diagram there is no non-local alternative in this case!).
    There is a worked example in a Rittman Mead blog post about this that might help: http://www.rittmanmead.com/2010/04/oracle-epm-11-1-2-essbase-calculations-on-aso-cubes-part-2-maxl-scripts-and-eas/
    The DBAG also says that the script files should have suffix .csc, while the Tech Ref example has suffix .txt - helpful!! If they were actually meant to sit in the server's db directory, I would be surprised to find the .csc suffix used, since that is also the suffix for aggregation scripts. Although me being surprised doesn't mean much.

  • Problem of Down Payment for the Asset under Construction

    Hi All:
    My problem is, after do down payment for the AuC, we got an additional amount under the values booked of AuC, double checked the accounting document, found that system generated two items when doing actual settlement with t-code CJ88, for example, when display asset value, system lists the value as follows:
    Net book value: 194,325 (Normally only has this value under the AuC)
    Down payment: 93,950
    I don't know why? And how to balance the asset values? Please give me some hint, thanks in advance.
    Thanks
    Kai
    Edited by: Kai Jiang on Jan 14, 2009 6:52 AM

    Hi,
    I think the system behavior is right ! When posting the final invoice and clearing the down payment the additional items (Down payment: 93,950) were cleared. Go ahead!
    Good luck

  • After 2 years want to change depreciation key for a asset

    Hi,
    For a particular asset we want to change depreciation key for this asset already we have posted depreciation for 2 years. After 2 years user realizes they are using wrong depreciation key now they want to change depreciation key for a particular asset.  In new financial year till now they have not posted depreciation .I just want to now what is the impact of this changes how we will adjust the value in future because previously they are calculating depreciation  1.63% now they want to calculate depreciation 3.33 % can any one tell me about the future impact of asset.
    How we will adjust the value?
    Thanks and Regards,
    Neha

    Hi,
    Does your user wants to post the depreciation for closed Fiscal years?
    If yes First calculate unplanned depreciation for the difference up to the last closed fiscal year and post in the current year.
    Now after posting this then change the depreciation key in the asset master and in the next run the system identifies the difference between posted value with the old Key and teh correct key and adjusts the difference in the current period depreciation run.
    If the user don't want to post the values of the previous years, change the key in asset master so that the difference in the depreciation from the start of the fiscal year is adjusted in the current period.
    Future impact if the option is second the asset life will be more when compared to the actual life. In first case there is no effect.
    Provide Business with these two solutions and they have to choose between the options.
    Reward points if useful.

  • Planned Dep not posted for retired assets

    Hi ,
    We are running the asset depreication everymonth end, and it was posting without any errors.
    But suddenly we found that some assets which we retired have still not posted the balance depreication and it is still reflecting in Planned Depreication in AW01N for previous months.
    Eg: Asset retired on 29th of a month. Depreciation was not posted for this 29 days. and this balance still lies in planned depreication even after the depreciation run.
    When i try to do a repeat run it gives an error message,
    depreication for Peirod...... already posted.
    As we have already run the depreciation, kindly suggest what best can be done without affecting the depreciation which is posted for other assets which is correct.
    Thanks & Regards
    Sanjay Marathe

    Dear Ramesh,
    Thanks for the update, i have got once more important information on this.
    The problem lies only in one asset.
    When they posted the depreiciation, in the actual run it gave a warning message that
    " The posted depreciation and estimated depreciation are different" .  But as the user was not aware regarding the Rerun and he has posted depreciation for subsequent periods.
    And now it is not allowing to do a rerun for pervious periods.
    Acq date :           9/11/2004
    DOC       :           9/11/2004
    Retirement date : 29/05/2007
    useful life  :          5yrs
    Dep key LINR :     SLM from remaining life to book value zero.
    Depreciation to the day is checked in the Dep Key
    Exp useful life 2 years 161 days as on 31st march 2006
    It was migrated on 1/4/2006 to SAP.
    Points will be awarded.

  • After AFAB, I've changed depreciation key for an asset from 20% to 0%

    Hi All,
    I've posted depreciation (AFAB) for periods from 01 to 04 (Depreciation Area 20).
    Later I've changed the depreciation key for an asset from 20% to 0%.
    In my test SAP allows me to update depreciation data only in the period 05 (for previous data).
    Is there the way to repete the depreciation posted in the periods from 01 to 04!
    Cluo d anyone help me??
    Thanks

    Rossi,
    Since you have already posted the depreciation for the periods 01 to 04, the system assumes that there are no postings pending for those periods and hence shows the recalculated depreciation in period 05. But you can do the repeat depreciation run using AFAB transaction code. You can try them for period 04 and the entire depreciation posted till 04 will get charged in Period 04 itself.
