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

<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>

Recalculation of Depreciation (Change Over from WDV Method to SLM)
Going for a change in Method of Depreciatin from WDV to SLM w.e.f 01.04.2007.
Creation of New SLM Depre.Keys
New SLM Keys to be used in New Asset Masters
In Old Asset Masters, Replacement of Old WDV Depre. Keys with new SLM Depre. Keys.
Now, Need a guidance in respect of Recalculation of Depreciations.
How shall i proceed ahead?
Requirement is to Recalculate Depreciation from the Date of Capitalization as if SLM Method would have been in place from the beginning & to post the Differential Depreciation in the month of Aprr.,07.
(i.e Diff.bet.Depre.posted as per WDV till 31.03.07 & Depre.Calculated as per SLM from the beginning till 31.03.07)
Shall I able to Post Differential Depreciation to seperate GL A/Cs?
Thanks & Regards...
Ameya D. Mohoni...Hi
In ABUMN - Tab Additional Details - You need to choose the proper transfer variant...
if you choose Net Method - I think it would transfer @ 22500
In the New asset master - choose a dep key which is based on Useful life....

Planned Depreciation Changed - Recalculation of Depreciation
When we are displaying any asset through AS03 system shows message " value of Ordinary deprec. have changed in dep. area 01 in fiscal year 2009 for all the assets.
If we click on the message system shows following diagnosis
Values for Ordinary deprec. have changed in dep. area 01 in fiscal year 2009Message no. AU390
Diagnosis
Depreciation terms were changed in depreciation area 01 since the last time depreciation was recalculated. The values for Ordinary deprec. that were saved in the database in fiscal year 2009 are therefore different from the newly calculated values by an amount of 22.33-.
Procedure
Check if the newly calculated values are correct. If they are, then carry out a depreciation recalculation. You should be aware that if you recalculate depreciation, new values could arise for all open fiscal years, and these would then have to be posted to the general ledger by means of a depreciation posting run.
If, on the other hand, you want to keep the values that are saved in the database, you have to set the depreciation terms back to how they were at the time of the last depreciation recalculation.
To see a comparison of the old and new values, you can use the Display dep. calc. function in the asset value display or the Recalculate values function in the Asset Accounting menu.
Proceed
And if we click on Proceed system take us to transaction recalculation of depreciation (t-code AFAR).
As per the diagnosis given in the message depreciation is recalculated whereas we have not run recalculation of depreciation (AFAR) but we have changed the useful life of Asset Class 2260 & 2265 from 12 to 10 years. and transferred few assets within company code by transaction code ABUMN. Is this happening because of that ?.
We are surprised that till last depreciation run (period 5) business were not getting any such type of message and from period 5 onward system started showing this message.
I was just checking planned depreciation for F.Y. 2009 of few assets and found that depreciation is not calculating properly.
I have run AFAR in test mode and taken list of recalculated assets and also checked the recalculated depreciation manually and found that depreciation is calculated properly. Now we want to run AFAR in final mode but before moving ahead we want take concern from asset expert that we are going on right track or which another steps to be taken to resolve the same.
One more thing I have noticed that if we run AFAR from F.Y. 2008 in test mode when F.Y. 2008 is closed system shows message "Error in Dep. Calculation" for all the assets related to F.Y. 2008 and before and when we open F.Y. 2008 and run AFAR again in test mode then system shows message "Error in Dep. Calculation" only few AUC assets.Hi Paul,
Thanks for quick response.
I have ran AFAR in test mode in F.Y. 2009 when F.Y. 2008 is closed and checked that deprecation is calculating properly but the assets pertaining to F.Y. 2008 and there before are showing in error "Error in Dep. Calculation. I have ran AFAR in testing box by opening F.Y. 2008 and seen that system is not showing any error.
Now my question is, if i will open F.Y. 2008 in production system and run AFAR and repeat deprecation run for recent period what will be the impact in last F.Y. 2008.
Thanks,

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
ShanidHi 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

Error in recalculation of Depreciation Ecc6
Dear All,
We have recently upgraded our test system to Ecc6 with support pack
SAPKGPAD06.
As suggested by Nathan Genez on SDN T code AFAR - Recalculate Values was
executed for recalculation of Depreciation values.
It has resulted in 19 assets in error. When I display any of the assets
in change mode (AS02)the system gives the following message "SYST: You
cannot change the depreciation periods". On analyzing this we found that
the useful life of the asset was changed in year 1999 from 17 yrs to 18
yrs.
Now when we try to correct this value in T code As02 the system d'snt
allows to do it.
Pl suggest the remedial measures.
Depreciation is running fine on Version 4.7 on our production server.

Hi,
How to run the repeat depreciation run?
GayaniHello
Check if this helps and assign points if so
Repeat posting run: You can request a repeat posting run for the last period posted. A repeat run might be necessary, for example, if the depreciation terms were changed for individual assets in connection with the year-end closing. During a repeat posting run, the system only posts the differences that resulted between the first posting run and the repeat posting run (no double posting). You can limit the run to particular assets.
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.
Restart: If the posting run terminates for technical reasons or because errors were found, you have to start the report over again in restart mode. Using the restart mode ensures that all system activities are repeated that were not completed in the run containing the errors. In a restart run, only those assets are processed and displayed in the log that were not processed successfully in the prior run.

Hi Experts,
What is the process to reverse depreciation on an asset. Please explain with t-code.
Regards,
SamiHi Sami,
Reversing a depreciation posting run is not possible for safety and consistency reasons.Instead of carrying out a reversal, proceed as follows:
Process completely the batch input session (which is incorrect from your point of view) from the depreciation posting run.
Correct the incorrect fixed assets (for example, set the correct depreciation keys in the fixed assets)
If you change the definition of depreciation keys in Customizing, start program RAAFAR00 for recalculating the depreciation on the fixed assets.
Restart the depreciation posting run for the same period, this time using the option "Repeated run". For this option, a batch input session is generated that posts only the differences which result compared to the preceding regular run.
Process the batch input session generated here.
For the introduction phase you find a program "Reset posted depreciation" in the IMG. You must never use this program in a production system.If you use this program in a test system, note that this program resets the posted depreciations only from the point of view of Asset Accounting.Documents posted into Financial Accounting or into cost accounting are not reversed automatically.

SBO 2005 PL1 : Fixed Assets
We are deploying SBO in Lebanon - For the Fixed Assets, they have one legal requirement which oblige them to force the Residual Value to one when it's totaly amortize until the equipment or material is not scrap out. How could we force the vaue to one ?
Edited by: Marc Riar on Feb 21, 2008 2:06 PMHi
Start from 2005 SP1 PL75, there are some bahavior change for Salvage value feature.
1. Where are the new fields regarding salvage value?
o Field name: Salvage Value %
Location: Depreciation Types form => General Tab
Description: salvage value = APC * Salvage value %
o Field name: Include Salvage Value in Depreciation
Location: Depreciation Types form => General Tab
Description: Control whether to include Salvage Value in
depreciation calculation. Select this checkbox to exclude Salvage value in deprecication calculation.
o Field name: Salvage Value
Location: Fixed Asset Master Data form => General Tab
Description: salvage value of specific asset
2. How to configure salvage value for an asset?
salvage value = APC * Salvage Value Percentage of Depreciation Type
o Salvage value is always updated automatically according to above formula if transtions trigger the change of APC.
o Salvage value always takes effect for the whole fiscal year.
o You can also modify salvage value manually in Fixed Asset Master Data form => General Tab. Change of salvage value will trigger the recalculation of depreciation.
3. How to calculate planned depreciation value based on salvage value?
o Example I:
APC: 10,000 Useful Life: 10 years Salvage Value: 2,000
Depreciation type: Straight-line depreciation
Calclation Method: Acquisition Value / Total Useful Life
Include Salvage Value in Depreciation: Not checked
Yearly Depreciation Amount =
(APC - Salvage Value) / Useful Life = (10000 - 2000) / 10 = 800
o Example II:
APC: 10,000 Useful Life: 10 years Salvage Value: 2,000
Depreciation type: Straight-line depreciation
Calclation Method: Acquisition Value / Total Useful Life
Include Salvage Value in Depreciation: Checked
Yearly Depreciation Amount = APC / Useful Life
= 10000 / 10 = 1000
4. Relevant rules with regard to salvage value:
a) All depreciation areas of an asset use the same salvage value.
b) Salvage Value field in Fixed Asset Master Data form => General Tab is editable if and only if Salvage Value Percentage of depreciation type of main depreciation area is not zero.
c) In Depreciation Types form => General Tab, the setting of
Depreciation Value Limit only takes effect when the Salvage Value % is zero.
d) When you import a fixed asset master data, salvage value is retrieved automatically according to the depreciation type from the main depreciation area. Make sure that salvage value is not greater than NBV, otherwise an error message will come up in log file.
5. Depreciation Value Limit Vs. Salvage Value:
a) Both are the amount at which the asset depreciation stops.
b) Depreciation Value Limit only takes effect when Salvage Value % is zero.
c) Depreciation Value Limit is not considered in planned depreciation calclulation.
d) Salvage value is considered in planned depreciation calclulation if Include Salvage Value in Depreciation of depreciation type is not checked.

Dear friends,
While closing the last fiscal year 2010, system shows ''close 2009 year and then close the 2010'', we tried to close the 2009, it is showing some assets need to be recalculated for depreciation. But here, user don't want to post any values as on 01.04.09. With out running depreciation for 2009, system is not allowing to close 2010. How to rectify this problem.
regards,hi
if you do not want to post depreciation for certain assets for 2009, kindly mark as 'asset shutdown' or change the depreciation key to '000' so that no depreciation is calculated in 2009.
Close 2009 , then you can re-instate the previous values for those assets so that depreciation for 2010 is calcuated as usual,

You want to reverse a depreciation posting run.
Additional key words
Depreciation posting, RABUCH00, depreciation posting run, reverse depreciation posting, reversal
Cause and prerequisites
In most cases, you might wish to reverse the depreciation posting run for one of the following reasons:
Incorrect depreciation terms
Solution
Reversing a depreciation posting run is not possible for safety and consistency reasons.Instead of carrying out a reversal, proceed as follows:
Process completely the batch input session (which is incorrect from your point of view) from the depreciation posting run.

AFAR - Recalculate Deprec. Auto run in user exist ???
Dear all,
I change the Book Deprec. then I used the T.code : AW01N.
SAP will tell me the message : manually run AFAB to adjust diff. data.
So. have any user exist .
I can insert ABAP code to AUTO. run the AFAB. before AW01n, or after Asset create (AS91) ?
Thanks for your help in advance.
DDTWe implemented Fixed Assets in SAP March 1, 2009. We set our transfer
date to 2/28/09. Our tax department has a need to make changes to the
depreciation lives and methods of assets that were capitalized in
2008. We have used the Mass Change functionality to make the changes
but can't get the depreciation to recalculate based on these new lives
and methods. Transaction code AFAR (program RAAFAR00) does not allow
us to recalculate depreciation for 2008. We found OSS Note 646691 and
applied it to our DEV system. This note allowed us to change the year
in table T093B to 2007 thus allowing the recalculation of depreciation
to take place. We then applied the note to our TST system working our
way up to PRD but the recalculation program does not do anything in
TST. We don't get an error message or anything it just does not
recalculate the depreciation at all. Is there another note that I need
to apply in order to get this Note working correctly.
Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. -
Hello Experts,
I want to recalculate on assets depreciation values. Before do that I need two GL reports to verify the chagnes. 1. before doing recalculate and 2. after doing the recalculation for depreciation area 01 and 32. How can I get these reports.
Many Thanks with Anticipation!
BobIf you are on version 6.0 than run FAGLB03 (version < 6.0 run FS10N) for the accum depr GL account and get the before and after values.

Depreciation Recalculation after control period change in a depr. key
Hi gurus,
I've a problem with dep recalculation:
for a specific dep.key (with Multilev.method= 20%, constant) the control period is 06/06/06/06 so the starting dep date is at the begin of the year. For example if I post (in 2009) 100 for an asset the depreciation is 20 for every year.
Now I need to have a half depreciation in the first year of useful life (even if in 2009, yet open) so I've changed the control period in 07/06/06/06.
My problem is that for assets posted before this change in the key, the planned depreciation is not changed in 10 but is 20 again, even if I run AFAR.
How can I do to change the planned depreciation for asset posted before the control period change?
TNX in advance
PrincipeyHi Sachin,
Tnx for your response.
unfortunely also this method doesn't work.
Now I'm tryng to reach my goal (set half depreciation in the acquisition year -also for assets already posted-) with a new way:
I've set again the period control at 06/06/06/06 changing now the multilevel method defining two levels:
Year: 0 > Percentage: 20%> Reduction: 50%
Year: 999 > Percentage: 20%> Reduction:0
In this way AFAR appears working but I'm testing to find problems side.
Any suggestions?

Depreciation recalculation
Hi
Here problem is after some month depreciation percentage is changed frm 10% to 15% for the asset. Now for manual posting depreciation difference amount, I deleted the reconciliation a/c for asset in the reset reconciliation and posted depreciation then reset reconciliation. Here what happened whenever delete reconciliation, in the asset explorer, it is not showing depreciation posted up to posted, again asking 1st period onward in the AFAB. Here posted depreciation document not reversing, showing error.
How to do this scenario
thank u
shusmaHi Sushma,
Are you looking for dep change for the allready posted months,
change the dep key to 0% and repeet run (there is nodirect way to reverse dep posted) then what ever posted dep will became zero.
After that you can again change the dep key to required one and agin post the depreciation.
Dont remove the automatic posting check mark for GL accounts.
If you need any clarification please keep posting.
Cheers,
Sekhar Thallam.
