RE: Depreciation issue

Hi All,
My user created asset with sub asset 16 then now they want to transfer to sub asset to 25
They are using sum of years method this means let say for example the asset life is 5 years
54321=15
5/15 = 33.34%
4/15
3/15
2/15
1/15
but the problem is in asset explorer it shows straight line mouthed this means that let say for the year 2009 depreciation 500 the rest of the years also shows like that only actually what is the problem just le me know as soon as possible.
thanks
Venkat

Yes I got checked in depreciation key under class is maitained strait line method only but it should be calculating sum of the years which they have created some asset using the same depreciation key but the some of the asset only got problem what could be the problem... which they created recently. those assets only donot show this method sum of the years. as mentioned above.
thanks

Write Up Depreciation Issue.

Dear All Experts ,
I am having issue regarding Write Up depreciation. I am calculating Write Up through ABZU with
Transaction Type key 711. It is being calculated too but the concerning amount is not hitting to the GL
account. And transaction is generating document type AA ( Asset Posting ) instead of AF
My account created for Write up depraciation is assign in Unpalanned depreciation account
assignment section => Expense account for unplanned depreciation field.
Please let me know whether I am correct or not ?
Please keep discussion on for further assistance.
Your help is highly appreciated.
Regards,
Pankaj.

Hi,
Paul.
I checked the same in T.Code AO78 that document type assign is AA. But the earlier postings are
showing in GL A/C as AF document. How it is so ? For year 2007 depreciation the user has posted
document in 2008 which successfully got poted. But for 2008 when we try to post in this current year it
is not hitting concerning GL.
I have already told you my account assignment position in AO90 ( In earlier principal thread ).
Write up depreciation is Ordinary depreciation , Special Dpreciation , or Unpalanned depreciation ?
Please elaborate the same , so I will get some insights. And please let me know for account
assignment whether it is right or wrong ? ( If wrong rectify me )
Your help is highly appreciated.

Retired Asset Depreciation Issue

Hi
Good day to you.
We have a peculiar issue.
One of our Company Codes retired an asset with Asset Value date of 31.12.2007. But apparently they did not repeat the Depreciation run for December 2007.
When we try to do the Fiscal Year change to 2009, SAP is not allowing to do so as 2007 is not yet closed because of this unposted Depreciation.
But the problem is we cannot post this unposted Depreciation to 2007 as the Accounts have already been audited by one of the Big 4. Since the amount involved is small (approximately USD 18.63), it would be ideal if we can post this amount to 2008.
I would be very grateful if a way out is suggested. Points will be awarded for to-the-point suggestions.
Regards
Siddique

well i am not sure if this could be possible but as a general view point , if its possible try to reverse the retirement document and see if the depreciation could be run in 2007 dec itself.

sayeed

Asset depreciation issue after Credit memo posted to asset.

Hi,
We bought asset on 2010 Dec with price 100,000 SGD last year. The asset, monthly depreciation = 833.33 SGD with 20 year useful life.
This month, we received an CN to minus 20,000SGD for some reason.
Hence I do credit asset with transaction type 160, post 20,000SGD to this month.
Seem like now system are getting current NBV to calculate the depreciation for remaining useful life. It is not they want.
Business assume to get positive depreciation this month to re-adjust back the 20,000SGD depreciation to this month.
How to get month depreciation value 666.66 SGD after this asset? Hope you can suggest me.

Recheck your Multi Level Method in AFAMS. You should use the base value 24.
Have to ticked "remaining useful life"
Also, check your OAYR settings? Did you select "Smoothing"

Depreciation Issue

Hi
A request has recently been made to allow depreciation for assets capitalized in 2008 using a straight-line, mid-quarter convention for tax depreciation areas (10 & 11). This method has been selected by the tax department as an alternative to the bonus depreciation allowed by legislation in 2008. Essentially, this means that assets capitalized before the 15th of the second month of the quarter should receive a full quarter's depreciation, whereas capitalization on or after the 15th of the second month of the quarter should receive only half of the quarter's depreciation. This is a typical US Tax requirement.
Thanks and Rgds

Hi see the wiki for Calculating Bonus Depreciation

Asset depreciation in a closed fiscal year

Hello,
After closing fiscal year 2010 we noticed that asset "A" start depreciation date was incorrectly set to December, 15.
Now we have corrected this date to December, 1. SAP have re-calculated the depreciation so we have aditional USD 600 planned for December. (we have UDS 600 posted + USD 600 planned).
Is there anyway to force those USD 600 to be posted on the new fiscal year 2011?
Is there any other way to arrange our depreciation issue withhoul opening 2010 for posting?
Thank you in beforehand.
Juanma.

Hi
I believe, OAYF is relevant for recalculating asset accum dep during Legacy data transfer.... I dont know if it would help in this case
If you have not done the FY 2010 closing, system wont allow you to close till the time all planned depreciations are posted...
Refer note 619969... You can run AFAB for Period 13 and post the dep in Period 12.... After that, do a balance carry forward
However, if you dont wanna post in 2010 any more, then dont change the Dep Start date.... Let it remain as Dec 15.... You can post Unplanned dep for Jan 2011 using ABAA - Followed by AFAB (Unplanned option)

Adobe Native Extensions Xcode 5?

Dear all,
I have a challenge. I have developed an Xcode library which I would like to make available for people who use Flash, mainly in order to create a nice interface since Flash is WAY better for creating interfaces than Xcode. Therefore I dived into creating an Adobe Native Extension as explained in this quite nice tutorial on the Adobe website. I came across many issues on the way but in the end I succeeded in creating a .ANE file which could be used in Flash. Flash clearly recognizes the names of the classes etc that are defined in the actionscript library, but as soon as it runs the scripts I get an error saying "Could not find the class <classname>". I considered me to be the most likely prolem so I decided to take a step back and build the code that is in the .zip file of the tutorial (so my hands did not touch the code other than compiling it) strangely I get the same errors again.
There are 3 most likely things that could be at the essence of this:
- The tutorial was written quite some time ago, by now we have Xcode 5 which might be different from the version used when writing the tutorial. Specificially it could be that some of the build settings are not compatible with adobe AIR. I am curious whether people have experience with this.
*- I make a mistake in importing the library into my flash code. I saw other posts on these forums where people have been making such mistakes. Some variations I tried are importing the .ANE directly (which another guy here also tried and reported that this would not work, strange but ok..) then I did it with the SWC and I also made the traditional mistake at first of not linking it externally. But after having solved that as well I am stuck. Maybe there is something else I should be aware of?
- My Flash version and AIR versions are more modern than the ones in which this code was written, could it be that there are depreciation issues in the newer versions?
* An interesting detail though is that I do manage to include the .ANE file of the original build which is also included in the .zip. Therefore I think it is unlikely that I make a mistake in importing the libraries, but nevertheless these things can never be truly ruled out.
If it helps I can share the coding I used but as it is the tutorial code I do not expect that there are true mistakes in this.
Do you have any experience in this? Or could you reproduce my error(or not and thus solving it?) Any help is appreciated!

I'm pretty sure that you are wrong and don't understand what actually happening ;) Native Extensions work well and users develops new one. I done myself extension using xcode 4.0 to 5.0 so everything is with it. Just need to find better tutorial. Last ANE finished 2 weeks ago that change iOS keyboard color. Creation of ANE it's pretty simple job when you know what to do. I don't have any C++ and Objective-C background but this don't restrict me from ANE creation that works well.

FICO : Asset Accounting - Depreciation Run Issue

Dear Friends,
I have an issue in asset accounting.
Let me explain the actual background of this issue.
1. I created a new company code(2000) by copying the existing one(1000 along with the closed year 2009
2. After that when i was trying to post acquisition for an asset i got the below error
You cannot post to asset in company code 2000 fiscal year 2011
3. Then i closed the year 2010 and opened 2011, it allowed me to post in the month of june
4. Now i am trying to run the depreciation for june, its giving the below error.
According to posting cycle, you should post period 001 next
5. What could be the reason for this error , is it the correct procedure what i am doing it now?
Please help if someone has an idea about that
Thanks ,
Perumal.

Hi,
You can get the solution if you double click the error message.
Please note that depreciation of current month can only be posted if the depreciation dycles till the previous month is completed. Coming to your case, you have opened the year 2011 and trying to post depreciation for period 6. You need to run the depreciation cycles from period 1 to 5 before trying to post for period 6.

Issue on Ordinary Depreciation Start Date and Disposal of Asset

Hi All.
I am facing the following the issues.
Fiscal Year is from July - June
First Problem: Company acquired the asset Vehicle on 26.Dec.2008. System proposes Ordinary Depreciation Start Date as 01.Jan.2009 rather then proposing Ordinary Depreciation Start Date as 01.Dec.2008.
Since depreciation for previous year has been posted the client later found out that instead of calculating depreciation for 7 months depreciation was only calculated for 6 months. I tried to manually change the dep. start date but the system doesnot update the previous years values, it's still calculating depreciation for 6 months and not 7 months. Is there anyway in updating the previous fiscal years depreciation values.
2nd Problem: I created a test case scenario today i.e. 16.09.2009 by creating and capitalizing an asset vehicle. Once I capitalized the asset the system automatically proposed the start date as 01.10.2009 and not 01.09.2009 which is what i require. What setting do i need to check or maintain in order to solve this issue because the user does not want to manually change the date each time an asset is created.
3rd Problem: Similar to this now when client disposes of an asset suppose on 10.Feb.2009 (FY2009). The system calculates depreciation till the month in which disposal takes place (February), the client does not want this, their requirement is that depreciation should be calculated one month before disposal takes place i.e. in this case Dep should be calculated till Month of January.
Your assistance will be highly appreciated.
Mohammed Ali Khan.

Hello Khan,
The depreciation start date will get determined based on the period control method assigned to depreciation key,
Period control methods are defined in transaction code : OAVH
In period control method we will mention the depreciation start date for acquisition, additions and also depreciation end date for disposals, retirements.
SAP has given some default period control keys. If any of these are not suitable to your requirement you can create on your own period control methods.

Asset Revaluation issue - Reval of Current year depreciation

Hi All,
We are setting up the system to do asset revaluation for our company code in South America. My client wants to
revalue the assets from Jul'09 to Dec'09.
1) We have maintained inflation indexes for the last day of each period in the year 2009.
2) Maintained Posting Variants and Time Base and Exposure variant accordingly for all the periods and year as 9999.
3) Assigned the appropriate Time base and exposure variant in the period control method.
4) Maintained the Revaluation Areas:
a) Area 01 - Book
b) Area 02 - Inflation Adj (Revaluation Area)
c) Area 03 - Derived (Area 01+Area02)
d) Area 22 - Infla Adj in Group Currency
5) Maintained the Revaluation key and assigned it to the relevant Asset classes by Depreciation Area (02 and 22)
6) Maintained the transaction types as below:
897 - Revaluation (downward) current year
892 - Revaluation (upward) current year
891 - Revaluation (downward) prior year
893 - Revaluation (upward) prior year
7) Maintained the Inflation Method and last revaluation date on Inflation method as 01.07.2009.
8) We have also activated the Revaluation after useful life.
With this setup in the system I took a test asset which had depreciation postings for the period 08 and 09. When I
ran the J1AI - Revaluation (Inflation) Program in the test run mode the outcome was that the APC value of the asset
was being revalued and Revaluation of Prior year Depreciation but not the Revaluation of current year
Depreciation. Can anyone tell me why current year Depreciation is not being revalued.
Am I doing something wrong process-wise or configuration-wise?
Please help me in resolving this issue.
Regards,
Raj

Hi Rajesh Phanibatla,
I've always happened that Issue. But what I realized is that although the program output (J1AI) does not show you nothing on "Rev of CY Depn", the system calculates. This only happens for the first month of adjustment (In your case, Aug 08).
Try checking the test asset with the Assets Explorer (AW01N) just after running the adjust (J1AI) in background process (NO test mode) at 31.08.2009. See if the area Area 02 - Inflation Adj (Revaluation Area) on "Posted values" tab shows something different to zero on month 08 with "Planned" status.
Then, for the adjustment of the following months, the output of the program will show you the "Rev of CY Depn" value.
If you want, let me know your email to show you a presentation (PowerPoint in spanish) that has screens that I captured on that occasion that happened to me.
I hope this is your case and can help you that I said.
Good Look!
PD: Sorry for my bad english :S

Issue on asset tax depreciation balances

Dear Experts,
I have a critical issue to be resolved. Someone please guide me.
I want to change the opening balance, current year transactions
accumulated depreciation of year 2008 (Fiscal year variant V3 -
Apr to March) of group assets in tax depreciation area (15) using tcode
AS82. This is required because during data migration in 2006 the
tax dep values for group asset were not entered accurately. With
this the dep calculated was wrong resulting in wrong net bbok value
further wrong carry forward bal in 2007 Apr and so on. My client
now wants atleast correction of year 2008 values so that the future
calculations are right and done by SAP for tax report. What should I do
for this?
What impact would be there if I change Asset Transfer date because
when I go to AS82 to change the takeover values of a group asset in 2008
i get an error msg " Closed fiscal year doesnt agree with legacy data
transfer date" Transfer date is 31.07.2006. This is really critical
and I have been posting this from days but no response. Please help
me experts.Any help would be really appreciated.

Issue in Chart of Depreciation

Respected Experts,
I am facing an issue in assigning the chart of Depreciation to Company Code. The error implies that there should be one depreciation area for each parellel currency defined.
Can you please guide me as to how I should go about creating a new Depreciation Area for Parellel Currency as I am not getting the option to do so. Also, how to maintain that the depreciation area is for the parallel currency.
I would also like to know why is it that we require one Depreciation Area for each Parallel Currency?
Appreaciate you giving your time to this thread
Regards
Sheli

Hi,
Problem is your company code manages parallel currencies, so you have to maintain the required depreciaton areas.
Else you can follow the steps...
In OB22, remove all additional currencies assigned other than LOCAL Currency.
In OBCL, Assign the Tax codes, A0 and V0 to your company code.
Now in OAOB assign the COD to Company code
Back to OB22 and re-put the curencies as it is.
Thanks.

Issue in Depreciation Adjustment while Asset Transfer

Hi,
We have some old legacy assets which is capitalized in 2010 and depreciating for the last 4 years, These old assets contain the value of several different assets and the usefull life of the old asset is 50 years, Now we need to segregate these old asset to different new assets , my process contains
1) Creating new assets with different asset class with different usefull life
2) Transfer the respective value from the main asset to the new assets
3) Adjustment of depreciation already posted.
Here i am facing some issues regarding the asset transfer , anybody suggest which is the best way to transfer the asset acquisition value to new assets ?
when i am using ABUMN to transfer the values , system posting depreciation value adjustment which is the alredy posted depreciation for the past 4 years with the usefull life as 50 years. Is there any methode to adjust these value ?
If i am posting Asset transfer with F-02 (with negative posting) , system will transfer the net book value and start the depreiation calculation based on the usefull life of the new asset. Here system is not considering the depreciation already posted.
Is it possible to make changes in the system where assets will consider the depreciation start date as 2010 (old asset depreciation start date), If i am manually changing the depreciation start date then system is calculating the depreciation start date as 1st period of the current year (because previous years are alredy closed),
instead of 5 years usefull life ,system depreciated the values with 50 years, i need to adjust the posted depreciation and when i create a new asset with usefull life of 5 years i need to manage the asset as already 4 years usefull life is expired.
Is there any solution ?
Regards
San

Hi Ajay,
Case : We have an asset 1000, which contains a value of $ 100000, it was capitalizes in 2010 with usefull life of 50 years and past 4 years depreciating with 50 years usefull life, This is a legacy asset and contains the value of so mny different assets.
Now we need to create different assetd with different asset class and contains different usefull life, We need to transfer the value from Asset 1000 to these new created assets, here my concern is about the depreciation already posted to the asset 1000,
Assume my new assets value is $ 20000, i can transfer the value from asset 1000 to my new created asset. but here depreciation should be a problem because last 4 years depreciation is calculated as 20000 @ 50 years , but actual usefull life was 5 years.
Is there any methode to adjust the already posted depreciation.
Regards
San

Depreciation for 53 weeks in the weekly Calender Issue

Hello
We are currently facing an issue with caliculation of depreciation in AA for FY 2011. At the company GL follows the 4-4-5 weeks pattern.The depreciation follows the weekly calander whichtypically have 52 weeks. Every 6 years we are going to have 53 weeks. Next FY 2011 is going have 53 weeks (4-4-6 weeks for 4th QTR For FY2011 only)...the FY is going to start from 26th Dec 2010 - 31st december 2011.Due to this depreciation needs to be
caliculated for 6 weeks for period 12,2011 instead of 5 weeks done in previous year.
i have tried various approaches like changing the weekly calander to 53 weeks, this
is forcing us to change the past year calander also to 53 weeks.
Another approach i tried is
1) Created a seperate FY variant and created calender for FY2011 in that.
2) when tried to assign the new FY variant for Asset accouting, it giving me error message
as FY 2010 is not maintained in the new FY variant....
Can any one please let me know how can we address the 53 weeks issue... Any responses will
highly appreciated...
Thanks in Advance...
Regards
NN

Hello eashwar
Thanks for your reply...the depreciation in 4th qtr ,2011 should have more depreciation compared to any quaters as its got 6 weeks... having the depreciation base method as "percentage from Useful life" is not giving the expected results...
Please let me know if their is any other thing we can check in the system...
Regards
NN

Issue during Depreciation Below Zero Calcualtion

Dear All,
I have configured for depreciation below calculation with a separate depreciation area. There is no depreciation calculated till the end of useful life.
It is workign fine, but issue is that if an asset's useful life is expiring in between a year, then the depreciation below zero is getting calculated from the next year only. E.g. If asset's useful life is expiring in Sep, then the deprecitaion from Oct to Dec is not being considered in the depreciation below zero calculation
Can anyone guide on what may be missing for this?
Many thanks
Regards,
Gaurav

without doing any configuration setup is it possible to rectify the error message. Please explain asset retirement with scrap had done on last year, asset depreciation running in current year, why the above error message is showing, please clarify.
