Purpose of t-code AFAR u2013 Recalculate Depreciation

When would it be necessary to run this process?
Planned deprecation amounts appear to be updated automatically when we change a life, depreciation key, etc. (it doesnu2019t appear necessary to run AFAR to get these values to update).
Thanks very much!
Jon "Sap Newbie"

Hi Jon
In general, you need to run AFAR for depreciation re-calculation in following cases:
1, after change terms of depreciation calculation in asset master data or relevant tables
2, after coding changes, e.g. note implementation, SP upgrade etc
3, before monthly/yearly closing
As you mentioned above, when you change asset master data, e.g. UL, dep. Key etc, the planned dep. Will be updated automatically thatu2019s because depreciation re-calculation will be triggered when you save those master data changes. However, there are some cases, the depreciation re-calculation does not take place that causes planned depreciation amounts are different with the amount contained in table ANLC, afterwards message AU390 issues in AW01N consequently. In such cases, you have to run AFAR to re-calculate depreciation and update the newly calculated figure into table ANLC.
Hope itu2019s helpful for you.

AFAR Explanation & Odd Depreciation Situation ? ?

Hi All
Experts,
Please clear my one doubt regarding AFAR ( Recalculate Depreciation ). Using of AFAR will it clear my all
previous calculated & posted depreciation amounts , And will post the fresh depreciation amounts for my
respective Asset ?
My Asset has a depreciation having with two different plants assignment values and now I want a uniform
depreciation with my corrected plant assignment. Plant assignment was user mistake now it is been
corrected but the effect has been taken on asset with differentiated depreciation values for one asset.
I want values for my corrected plant for all previous periods and future periods ?
What should I do in this case ?
Please help.
Your help is highly appreciated.

Purpose of Process code

Hi what is purpose of Process Code
I know there we add Msg type and Function module what is its function that function module will helps in getting the data
and *what abt Msg type* and Process code there

Hi,
R/3 uses the method of logical process codes to detach the IDoc processing and the processing function module. They assign a logical name to the function instead of specifying the physical function name.
Logical pointer to a processing method
The IDoc functions are often used for a series of message type/IDoc type combination. It is necessary to replace the processing function by a different one. E.g. when you make a copy of a standard function to avoid modifying the standard.
Easily replacing the processing method
The combination message type/IDoc will determine the logical processing code, which itself points to a function. If the function changes, only the definition of the processing codes will be changed and the new function will be immediately effective for all IDocs associated with the process code.
For inbound processing codes you have to specify the method to use for the determination of the inbound function.
After defining the processing code you have to assign it to one or several logical message types. This declaration is used to validate, if a message can be handled by the receiving system.
The inbound processing code is assigned analogously. The processing code is a pointer to a function module which can handle the inbound request for the specified IDoc and message type.
The definition of the processing code is identifying the handler routine and assigning a serious of processing options.
Processing with ALE
You need to click "Processing with ALE", if your function can be used via the ALE engine. This is the option you would usually choose. It allows processing via the ALE scenarios.
Associate a function module with a process code
Table TBD51 to define if visible BTCI is allowed
For inbound processing you need to indicate whether the function will be capable of dialog processing. This is meant for those functions which process the inbound data via call transaction. Those functions can be replayed in visible batch input mode to check why the processing might have failed.

Purpose of transaction code MB52

what is the purpose of Transaction code MB52

Hi,
T.Code MB52 : Display Warehouse stock of Material in Hand.
Purpose:
You use this report to display the total stock of a material (quantity and value) at plant and storage location level. If transit stocks or stock transfer stocks exist at plant level, the system totals these stocks and displays them in the column In Stock Transfer in a stock line without a storage location.
Note that in this report, the stock value of the warehouse stock is calculated using the following simplified formula:
Stock value = quantity x value/valuated stock
Therefore the stock value specified here only has informal characters and does not represent the actual stock value.
For more details please let me know.

Customizing setting 'Recalculate depreciation for previous years'

Dear Experts,
I have requirement where for tax depreciation areas we want the system to recalculate the depreciation for previous years. For e.g.
Asset acquired on 7/1/06 with value 10000
Useful life: 5 years
Take over date in asset accounting: 9/30/2008
With the above example, I want the system to show me depreciaiton values for the years 2006 and 2007 also in transaction AW01N (Asset Explorer), apart from 2008.
In FI-AA customizing, I have enabled the relevant depreciation areas for recalculation in the node 'Recalculate Depreciation for Previous Years' (Transaction OAYF).
However, when I create the legacy asset and maintain the takeover values, the system just shows me depreciation for 2008 and onwards.
Is there something I am missing? Please advice. I have searched the SAP help and SAP notes, but did not find anything.
Regards,
Vishal.

This is not possible. When you takeover an asset using AS91, it is creating an ANLC entry for that year only. 2008 in your case. Regardless of when the asset was originally acquired, SAP will only let you report on it back to 2008.
This concept is no different than any other FI/CO legacy conversion. If the customer is going live on Jan 1st 2008 but they want to do monthly comparison reporting in SAP (Jan 07 and Jan 08), then they need to convert 2007 data. If they want 2006, they need to load that too. Etc.
For FI-AA, if the customer wants to view data back to 2006 you would have to change the takeover date to that year and adjust the data as well (accumulated depreciation).

Purpose of Transation Code KSI4

Can any body please explain me the function and purpose of Transaction code : KSI4 with a sample example.
regards
Kamlesh

Hi Kamlesh,
Function of the T.code KSI4
The function is to calculate the Overheads. In the costing sheet, you define the basis, Rate and credit key of the overhead.
Basis means for e.g. You want to calculate the Overhead on the material used in production order. So all the raw material required will form the basis for Overhead calculation.
Rate can be defined in terms of % or in Quantity. For E.g. 10 % or Rs 10 for every quantity used.
Credit means while calculating the overheads, system debits the amount to production order and credits the same to the cost center defined in the costing sheet.
Example-----
Suppose Rs 200 worth of material is issued to any particular production order and you want to calculate the overhead @ 5%, system will calculate Rs 10 as overhead and will debit the amount to that particular production order and credit the amount to the cost center say XYZ with secondary cost element.
Purpose of the T.code KSI4
The purpose is to absorb the overheads on the production. For e.g. there are some rejections in the production, the cost of which you have to capture in the order or some internal transport cost of material or if you want to built up some cushion in the cost. For such reasons overhead is calculated.

Executing RAAFAR00 - Recalculate depreciation

Hi
User has reported that there is a difference between GL and SL while executing ABST2. It shows a difference of INR xxxxxx. This transaction had originated from MIGO.
In one of the documentation i read about recalculate depreciation. Will this be the right solution for this problem?? or is there is any other solution?
Please tell me the impact of executing the report RAAFAR00 for recalculating depreciation.
1. Will this resolve the differences between Subledger and General Ledger?
2. Can i run it production ... will it have a huge impact?
Friends... pls revert as the ticket is an emergency one.

Purpose of "posting in gl" field in depreciation area

Hi,
I am confused with the posting in gl field in the depreciation area because if i choose area posts depreciation only then i noticed the area also post APC values together with depreciation values. Then what is the real purpose of this function?

You need a debet and credit posting.
With the retirement this account is possted as 0. See it more as an offset account.
You post 1 area normal and one only deprreciation, when yes the second posting
When you put this account outside your standard balance stucture you don' have problems with reporting.
The profit and loss accounts you have to assign to a different P&L Statement Account Type. This account you place there to, the same you have to thee with scrap value, profit/loss on sales.

Whats the purpose of reason codes?

Hi Experts,
In many scenarios we add reason codes e.g. all the actions like terminations, new hire, rehire, change in position etc. Now our organization is adding a new reason code for termination action with reason code "termination due to LOA". And they are calling meetings and stuff. Is it really that important of an issue. I was wondering reason code is there but is that this big of a deal. Please explain.
Thanks,
Rashmi

One are is for reporting purposes.
Also, based on the purpose code you can change which infogroup is called (feature).
Then you don't need to maintain so many actions.

Use, purpose, related t-codes for "INVOIC_FI_INBOUND"

Hi all,
I am new to badi and suddenly i got requirement to work with this badi - INVOIC_FI_INBOUND.
I need the (1) Use of this badi
                (2) Purpose of this badi
                (3) I need all the T-codes which are used for this badi or the respective T-codes which are related to this badi

                (5) how to use this badi
Thanks in advance,

So, there's a requirment to use this BADI, and you don't know what the BADI is for, nor why you need to use it. How was the requirement phrased? Did your boss say - Hey, Kalai - your next assignment. Use this BADI.
Funny that - because usually, your Boss or whoever, will say something like - we need this functionality, you can implement in this BADI. Then you know the why.
So, what's it all about? Why do you need this information?

Purpose of T code ZBCS_SYNC

Hi,
I am basically working on FICO- but due project specific, SEM-BCS aslo came to my umbrella.
So slowly we are habitate to learn BCS>
I would request the experts ,please suggest me what is the user of ZBCS_SYNC.
Is it synchronizing the master data in between BW and BCS or some thing different.
Realted web link aslo will help me more.
Thanks inadvacne.
NALA

Please go to SE93 and provide the program name behind the transaction. Many times, Z programs are simply copies of standard SAP, but they are specific to your particular implementation. One word of caution, coming from FICO world, you are leaving the standard r3 and moving to a bw system, which in most cases is a separate instance and may require new set of IT skills. In other words, you are no longer OLTP, but you are entering the OLAP world. Good luck.

Depreciation forecast after Asset revalution with AR29N inconsistent

There is a need to revalue assets on a certain date in the current
fiscal year. We did all the steps necessary to carry out revaluation
using Transaction AR29N, using the "new valuation of an asset"
function. After the reval the asset master was updated with the new Depreciation key and new useful life/dep start date.
SAP calculated the forecasted depreciation incorrectly in the
first few attempts, but after some testing it worked fine and we posted
periodic depreciation. This worked as expected. Using the same settings
in the same company code a new asset was revalued with a new value
date. The problem has returned although nothing was changed in the
system, The fore casted depreciation does not make sense.
Examples:
1. Asset Original Value at FY start - $100 with a planned dep of $1 for
the remaining useful life. Depreciation for 4th FP posted. Asset revalued
with a value date corresponding to FYP 04/2011. Revalued at $1200 with
new useful life of 24 months and new Dep start date corresponding to
start FYP 03. Expected depreciation PM is $50. This scenarion worked
fine.
2. Asset Original Value at FY start - $100 with a planned dep of $1 for
the remaining useful life. Depreciation for 4 FP posted. Asset revalued
with a value date corresponding to FYP 05/2011. Revalued at $2400 with
new useful life of 24 months and new Dep start date corresponding to
start FYP 03. Expected depreciation PM is $100. SAP shows forecasted
monthly depreciation of $108 per month

Hi Manish,
Are revaluated values appearing correctly in asset explorer (AW01N) both APC and depreciation.
If no then I would suggest to run AFAR for recalculate depreciation.
Thanks!!!

Recalculation of depreciation

Dear all,
I am stuck in a problem.After doing AFAB-SM37-SM35 for
depreciation run, my client has posted depreciation for the
month of january. Now he has changed the date of capitalisation
and shift factor for a few assets.The changes have taken place
in the month of january only. He wants to recalculate
depreciation and post in the same month. i.e. january.
I tried doing T Code AFAR for recalculating
depreciation.Background job RAAFAR00 was scheduled.The spool has
been created in SM37. But it is not appearing in SM35.I want to
know how to process it further and whether this method is
correct or not. Please let me know what is the correct procedure
for recalculation of depreciation.
Thanx in advance,
Vijaya

Hi,
look here:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/4f/71ea3a448011d189f00000e81ddfac/frameset.htm
<i>Take note of the following special considerations related to the posting process (use of catch-up or smoothing) when you make a repeat run (refer to System Settings for Posting Depreciation).
Catch-up method
When you use the catch-up method, the system calculates depreciation over again from the start of the year (or depreciation start) up to and including the depreciation period you are now posting. The difference between this amount and the total depreciation already posted is the new depreciation amount that is posted in the case of a repeat run. As a result of this recalculation of depreciation, new postings and changed depreciation parameters are included in the repeat run.
Smoothing
When you use the smoothing method, the annual depreciation that is still to be posted is distributed evenly over the periods that have not yet been posted. There is no recalculation of depreciation, as there is when the catch-up method is used. Once a period is posted, there can be no new posting to the same period. Any changes to depreciation terms, and/or any new acquisition postings, become effective only in the following period. The only exception is when a new asset is created. Depreciation is then posted for this asset in the repeat run, since no depreciation was posted for it up to that point.</i>
