Recalculation of Depreciation for the previous periods

Hi All,
I am new to this forum, I have one query regarding the recalculation of depreciation.
Client wants to increase the life of the asset and depreciation change should be effected from 01/07/2010 (FY start). Depreciation has already posted from July to December 2010. We are following SLM & WDV methods.
I know we have the options like smoothing and catchup. But client wants to update/post to respective periods and in AW01N for each period it should show the depreciation as per the change in life of the asset.
It would be of great help, if you look into this matter.
Thanks in advance
Kind regards
Shanid

Hi Viswa,
Thank you for your prompt reply. I tried with your answer, when I ran AFAB with posting period 1, I am getting below error.
"You want to carry out a repeat depreciation posting run in period 001. However, the last posting run was for period 006.
Start the repeat run again using period 006".
Kind Regards
Shanid

Posting an unplanned depreciation run for the previous period

Hi SDN forum,
May I just ask if it's possible to run an unplanned posting run for a previous period wherein the depreciation run has already been executed?
The scenario is more like a "repeat unplanned posting run"
I can't seem to include this unplanned depreciation whenever I select the repeat run for the previous period.
Please help.
Thanks

Hi
Through T.Code: ABAA you can able to post unplanned dep for previous period.
Executing AFAB for previous
1 - open FI Periods (OB52)
2 - Post Unplanned Dep T.Code: ABAA
3 - Run AFAB with Repeet run & Test run
you feel it is ok with test run execute production run

Negative stocks for the previous period when closed MM period

hi,
I try to use MMPV to close MM period, error message is displayed "
Some materials have negative stocks for the previous period."
how to solve this problem and what cause this message? why system allow negative stock?
thanks

Hi
Negative stock means that for a material in your plant stock is 0 on current posting date but you still want to issue the material.
So in order to achieve this u need to activate the Negative stock for that material in material master and mark the setting of negative stock for the storage location.
Using the Transaction OLMB ---Goods Receipt

Posting Depreciation for the previous months

HI Experts,
We got new asset AS100SA capitalized on 28.02.2013 (Fiscal Year Period 4 2014 ) and we want to start depreciation this asset
start from Feb 2014 (Fiscal Year Period 4 2014),
We have run the depreciation for all asset in current Month ( Period 5 2014) , when we try run the depreciation for new asset AS100SA
for the previous months in the Current Period , system prompt error msg : "Period 4 is already posted".
Asset Master Data
      when I view the posted values Tab in the Asset Explorer (AW01N), system is showing the planned values beginning period 5 (Fiscal Year = March 2014)
       AFAB - Depreciation Run
       Period 4 (Previous Month for new asset)
      Error Message
         kindly advise on this issue. thanks in advance.

Hi Ginee,
Radio button planned posting run can only be choose once per period and when you choose planned posting run you should not specify your asset number.
As for your case, you can run the depreciation (AFAB) by choosing the repeat button (specify your asset number) since you already done the planned posting run for period 4 and after the depreciation posted you can check the posted value tab in AW01N again, system will show the posted value in period 4.
Ex : asset acquisition : 01.01.2014, in AW01N it start with period 2 but the depreciation start from period 1.
run AFAB with this parameter
AW01N after AFAB

Variances for the Previous Period- Production Order Variances

Dear All
I am not able to settle the variances of Previous Period in Ko88.
The following steps I have done for the settling the variances
1. KKS2- Production Order
2. Ko88- Settlement of Variances
If i settle the variances production order variances it is increase the stock and in the increase in the profit and loss account
I need a suggestion there should not be any impact on the either in the profit and loss account and stock
Please advise me
Regards
Ramesh

Dear Vimal
I would like to explain further more on this area.
1. For V Material Item - When there is no stock it will be posted to Profit and Loss account
2. For V Material Item- When there is a stock it will be posted to Balance sheet acccount- My question whether it can be posted to Profit and Loss account. When there is a stock - What is the procedure to be followed.
In further to that Settlement can be done only if the order is completed. settlement cannot be done if the order is not completed.
I need to understand
1. Whether V Material item available stock can be posted to Profit and Loss account.
2. Whether this is based on Order completion.
Thanks for your reply.
Regards
Ramesh

Cost Estimate for the previous period

Hi,
For a material we have a inconsistency between Material Master and Info record in base unit of measure.
in the material master: 1 piece = 1 mm
in the info record: 1 piece = 1 m
During the month of December, user posted a goods receipt posting of this material: 625 m with an s-price-value of u20AC 668.750
For the stock valuation in year-end closing he says he need a right s-price calculation of the material in 2010.
If not, he will post a depreciation of more than u20AC 600.000 for this material.
Can we save a new calculation for Dezember 2010, if not what is the alternative? Can we suggest MR21?
Thanks to share your thoughts.
Kind Regards
Umapathi G

Hi Umapathi
MR21 is your only option... You cant release new price in Dec 2010
however, what I dint understand is this a purchased material or produced material?
If it is a produced material, then reverse your GR, make corrections and post it again.. Else, you would have good amount of variances

Adding asset in the previous period and depreciation run

Hi Experts,
I want to know whether we can add an asset for the previous period and run the depreciation.
I will try explaining with an example.
Let us say,I forgot to add an asset and i want to add an asset now with date as 1st July 2008. Is it possible? If it is possible will the system calculate the depreciation from July or will it calculate from the date the asset has been added?
Please explain.
Thanks,
Sasidhar

Hi
It will allow you to add a new asset in the closed period with few conditions
Since you have given in your example as july 2008, check whether your FI year is open. Then check the asset period whether its opened are closed
If all the periods are not resticting you, you can go a head with adding an asset
Your depreciation will be calculated from the date of purchasing, that means only the calculationg will happen from that period and not the accounting entry
You will have only one planned depreciation from july to current period as per your example. So when your running the planned depreciation run for the current period, the entire depreciation will get posted now
You can do repeat run only for one period prior to the current planned period and not at any prior period
So with your example of july 2008, if your running AFAB monthly, repeat run may not work
Warm Regards

Depreciation for the past 3 periods

Hi SAP experts,
Would you please share your experience on how we can run depreciation for the past periods. In our example depreciation was not run for the last 3 periods.
The previous periods are of course closed.
What is the best way to run it now?
Thank you

If possible open the previous periods and run the depreciation.
If period open is not possible, then execute AFAB with unplanned posting run mode.

We have just runned the conversion tool in Venezuela for our monetary reconversion. Now we are presenting some problems and we need to do some accounting in the general ledger for a previous period. It's seems that's not possible... what could we do???

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.

Carry out period-end closing for material .... in the previous period

Dear Experts,
Currently we are performing Month-end Closing for period May 2011.
We got any error messages during Actual Costing Closing in Material Ledger.
Based on our investigation, system encounters that any materials has not been carried out Period Closing in the previous period.
In accordance with SAP Note 361236, we should perform this workaround starting from Single-level Price Determination until Reversing Closing Entries.
Assuming that this is the right SAP Note to resolve this issue, kindly advice the following items as follow:
u2022     Should we perform this workaround using the Latest Costing Run that is May 2011, since the period of April 2011 is CLOSED (OB52 and OKP1) ?
u2022     Should we perform the full steps in this workaround ( from Single-level Price Determination until Reversing Closing Entries ) with u2018MUST_xxxxxu2019 execution firstly and subsequently re-run this steps without u2018MUST_xxxxxu2019 execution ?
u2022     What is the impact of Reversing Closing Entries in our Financial Statement in period of April and May 2011?
u2022     Is there any other SAP Note for fixing the problem?
Thanks for your kind attention.
Regards,
(Vincent)

Hi Vincent,
You have not mentioned whether the issue is for few materials/plants or all materials/plants.
Find my reply to your queries:
u2022 Should we perform this workaround using the Latest Costing Run that is May 2011, since the period of April 2011 is CLOSED (OB52 and OKP1) ?
    You will not be able to run ACR (for the materials/plants) only May 2011 without closing the status for April 2011.
u2022 Should we perform the full steps in this workaround ( from Single-level Price Determination until Reversing Closing Entries ) with u2018MUST_xxxxxu2019 execution firstly and subsequently re-run this steps without u2018MUST_xxxxxu2019 execution ?
   If you want to run Actual Costing Run (ACR) for latest previous month (May 2011) and do not want to run ACR for previous months (Apr, Mar, etc.), you still need to close the status of materials by using must close.
1st you reverse ACR for May 2011. Then use must close for April month. Perform the full steps of ACR for May 2011.
You may encouter a issue (quantities and values are inconsisitant) for the materials which are having price varinances, etc. in Mar/Apr months. To resolve this issue you can follow with SAP support partner (service.sap.com).
u2022 What is the impact of Reversing Closing Entries in our Financial Statement in period of April and May 2011?
The imact of reversing entries in April and May is depend on the Single/Multi level price variances of Materials bcz after the reversal of closing entries you need to run the full steps of ACR. If your client is not interested to take impact in April, the better way is use must close for April and re-run ACR for May 2011.
u2022 Is there any other SAP Note for fixing the problem?
We also had similar issues but it was for few materials. We have used the above option. Had a issue (quantities and values are inconsisitant). Raised OSS message and resolved the issue.
Hope the above details may help you to resolve your issue.

Depreciation repeat run -previous period

We have done planned depreciation run for 10th (currrent) period without running repeat run for 9th (previous) period.
Please help us how to carry repeat run for 9th period.
thanx in advance
Srihari

Hi Srihari,
"N" number of times you can able to Re-run depreciation posting, no doubt about it.
here you are posted dep for 10th period and again you are capitalised asset for previous period (9th), now we have two options.
1 - Based on dep key system calculate dep for previous periods and post next period (11th)
Ex: Asset Value = $ 12000 % use ful life 10 years.
Dep 10% every month = $ 100
here when you execute dep for the period 11th system post $ 300 depreciation value. ( this method called Catch up method)
2 - Smoothing Method ( Go to T.Code: OAYR and select Smoothing Check Bok)
now your asset report shows from 9th to 12th period $100 every month.
this situation you can run again Re-Run Depreciation, system will post dep amount respective months.

Viswa

How to reverse the Depreciation for the excess amount posted?

Hi Gurus,
We have uploaded the data last month from legacy system to SAP as below.
The Fiscal year is Jan - Dec and gone live on June 28th 2009.
Accumulated Depreciation was taken till Dec 2008.
Ordinary Depreciation was taken from Jan 2009 to June 2009.
But Ordinary depreciation is not up to date in SAP as the user miss out the 2 months depreciation for each Asset but this was already posted in legacy system. All the GL Balances have been uploaded as per the legacy system. Now system is taking the previous 2 months Depreciation along with the current month. If we run the Depreciation for the current month, the system will post excess amount as it includes previous 2 months Depreciation.
Can any one kindly suggest the process to reverse the excess amount after Depreciation posted for the current month?
Thanks much for the help.
Early responses will be appreciated.
Best Regards,
JBC

HI
Few clarifications-
1. you have posted two months dep in legacy , have you transferred that dep amount wth the ordinary dep transferred from jan to june?
If yes, that means your last posted dep month is june and accordingly you have to set the last period (6) in the SPRO for asset data transfer specifications, so system will start calculating dep from the 7th period only and will not recalculate dep for last two months.Check the last posted period mentioned in SPRO.
2.If you have uploaded wrongly your ordinary dep for current year , then that means your Asset accounting opening balance (migrated balance ) is not matching with your Trial GL upload as well, so you need to correct your asset accounting opening balances.
For this you need to reset your company code status from 0 to blank ( tset data always allowed for asset data transfer). And then correct the values for current year ordinary dep posted from jan to june, also check the last posted dep period as above.
3.However you may post writeup ttype 700 to adjust the excess dep posted by any reason, you can extract last two months dep posted values asset wise from legacy system if already posted, and post the writeups for the same value in current period using LSMW.
Cheers
Mukta

Depreciation of the Previous Fiscal Year want to post in Current FiscalYear

I have already posted Depreciation for the year 2008 by using Planned Posting Run (T.code:AFAB)
After that I have created one Asset Master (T.code: AS01)
In AS01, Depreciation tab , I have set Depreciation starts from 19.09.2007, i.e. Fiscal year: 2007
I have capitalised this asset as on 31.03.2008, i.e. Fiscal Year :2008
Now I want to post Depreciation for the period 19.09.2007 to 31.03.2009 (560 Days) on 31.03.2009.
When I am running AFAB (Repeat Run) Fiscal year: 2008 & Period: 12 with this Specific Asset No, then system is calculating Depreciation only for 1 day, i.e. 31.03.2009
As the Fiscal year:2007 has been closed for Asset module, hence I have opened Fiscal year: 2007 in AA (T.code: OAAQ)
But after opening the Fiscal year :2007 also, system is calculating Dep only for one day.
Please suggest me how will I solve this issue
Thanks & Regards,
Suvadip Mukherji
