Reg Asset Accounting (Depreciation)

Hi
Gurus
I buy one Asset in this month, and i would like to calculate Depreciation from this month onwords. And this Asset is going to scrap this month only.
So now the problem is how to i calculate the depreciation for one month only.
Can you tell me transaction code. and how to do this.
Regards
Anil.

Using Manula depreciation -ABMA, you can post manual depreciation. But this comes to records only, when you do the dep.run at the end. before running the dep.run, do the scrap entry. at the time system should consider the depreciation posted manually, because, there wont be asset in future at the time of dep.run
try this----some idea what i got .

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.

Asset Accounting - Depreciation Repeat Run

Hi Seniors,
Depreciation run upto period 7 is over. Now, client wants to create few Intangible assets and depreciation needs to be run from period 1. I created one Intangible asset in Quality Server and tried to do repeat run for that particular asset. It says the posting will be done in Period 7. But, client wants the depreciation to be posted every month. Is there any way for this? Periods are open.
with sincere Regards

Hi Kumar,
Repeat run option is only for running the depreciation for the previous month only in this case period 7. The system calculates the amount from the period 1-7 and posts in period 7.
One option you can try is. You can create the repeat depreciation run for period 7 for this particular asset in background and process the same in foreground, changing the posting date and amount. Make sure your period is open.
Test this scenerio in your test client.

Sridhar

Asset accounting-QUESTIONS

Hi Gurus,
I got some questions for asset accounting request all of you to kindly extend your help
my questions are
    What is Asset History? ( OAOA)
2)     How the data flows from Asset Accounting to Controlling?
3)     When the asset value is zero and the Company is still using the asset then, how the Company generally proceed to calculate depreciation further? (Curb) (SPRO>Financial Accounting>Asset Accounting>Depreciation>Valuation Methods> Depreciation Key>Calculation Methods> Define Base Methods)
4)     In asset accounting, why 0% Tax code is created for not taxable transaction and why it is compulsory to do it before assigning the chart of depreciation to company code?
5)     What configuration is required to bring all the Fields in depreciation area tap of Asset master creation?(AO21) and (AS01)
[If we make any changes in Tcode AO21 and they are not getting reflected in depreciation area (Last Tab) in creation of asset master (AS01). So how to make the configuration to get those changes reflected in dep. area (last tab) in creation of asset]
6)     What are difference between Germany Chart of Dep. and Great Britain Chart of Dep. (UK)?
Be assured about the points
Thx

Hello
Charts of depreciation are used in order to manage various legal requirements for the depreciation and valuation of assets. These charts of depreciation are usually country-specific and are defined independently of the other organizational units. A chart of depreciation, for example, can be used for all the company codes in a given country
In the simplest scenario, all of your company codes are in the same country and are subject to the same legal requirements for asset valuation, meaning that you only need one chart of depreciation.
The chart of depreciation consists of the following parts:
In general, you are required to calculate values for assets for different needs, both internal and external (such as book depreciation and cost depreciation). Therefore, the Asset Accounting component enables you to manage values for assets in parallel in up to 99 depreciation areas. The chart of depreciation, therefore, is a directory of depreciation areas organized according to business management requirements. You define the characteristics, and thereby the significance, of the individual depreciation areas in each chart of depreciation. A depreciation area is always assigned to only one chart of depreciation.
You flexibly define the keys for the automatic depreciation of assets in each chart of depreciation. They are based on elements for calculation (calculation methods, period controls, and so on) that are available client-wide.
Use
SAP supplies typical reference charts of depreciation for each country. They have different depreciation areas and depreciation keys depending on that countrys specific requirements. You cannot use these charts of depreciation directly. You must create your own chart of depreciation by copying the reference chart of depreciation. Delete any depreciation areas that are not needed.
You can document the meaning of any chart of depreciation you set up in the system by writing a description for it.

Asset Value depreciated to Rs 1 after 12 year

Hi,
There is rule that Asset after 12 years should have Net Book Value Rs 1 and no further depreciation should be calculated on the asset after 12 years after capitalization date.
How can we configure this scenario.

Put Memo Value = 1 at SPRO-Financial Accounting-Asset Accounting-Valuation-Amount Specifications (Company Code/Depreciation Area)-Specify Memo Value
Create a new base method at SPRO-Financial Accounting-Asset Accounting-Depreciation-Valuation Methods-Depreciation Key-Calculation Methods-Define Base Methods-
Base Mthod Z999
Type of Depreciation = Ordinary depreciation
Dep method = percentage from useful life
Reduce use life at FY end = Select check box
Select remaining 3 fileds with NO
Create a DepKey with above base method
Enter useful life in AS01 as 12 years

Asset Accounting: Lineal Depreciation

Hey!
I have implanted the module of Asset Accounting. We have defined a lineal depreciation Key for some assets. But when we enter to the Asset explorer (AW01N), we can see that we have different values for each posting period (the posting periods are defined in months). I think this is because each month have diferente days so Sap calculate different values. We think that SAP is considering if the month has 31 days or 30 days.
I want the depreciation to be calculated with the same value each month. In what point of the cuztomizing I can define this?
Thank you in advance,
Leyre

Pls check the settings for the period control methods where you can define the no.of days with FV, based on the days wise you can restrict the depreciation amounts calulation, but the specific amounts option will not be available to serve your purpose.
Let me know for any further info.

Suresh

When i am trying to delete it system giving error message saying you cannot delete the derived depr as the values have already been posted.
Please advice how i should proceed with the above issue for deleting the depreciation areas. Your help is much appreciated.

Clarification Regarding Asset Accounting Chart of Depreciation Copy

Hi,
We have a company code called ACT
For that we have a chart of depreciation assigned is ACT
Number Ranges are 1000000-1999999 (For Example)
Now we configured one more company code called RNC by Copying ACT company code and other settings from ACT company code only.
Clarification required - In Asset Accounting for Company code RNC we are plannint to assign chart of depreciation ACT as it is.
If we do like that - System will take the number ranges from the above ACT number ranges 1000000-1999999 ? or else system will take 1000000-1999999 number ranges from RNC company code? This is my doubt?
I think system will share the 1000000-1999999 number ranges in Asset accounting for both company codes ACT & RNC as we are using Same ACT chart of depreciation for Both company codes.
If we assign Same chart of Depreciation to both ACT and RNC company codes - Is it necessary to do any other configuration or no need to do any?
Kindly clarify my doubt
Thanks
Supriya

Hello,
Make sure that the both the company codes are in a single country before assigning the same chart of depreciation.
The number range of assets are defined at company code level. Meaning that you can have the same asset number in different company codes. The system will not share the number ranges across company codes.

Where we have to open and close posting periods in asset accounting

hi sap gurus
can anybody give where we have to open and close posting periods in asset accounting
thank you
venkatareddy

Hi Venkatareddy,
You make specifications for fiscal years and posting periods in the SAP R/3 System in Customizing for Financial Accounting. This is done in the fiscal year variant in the global parameters of the company code. These settings are, in general, also binding for Asset Accounting. The depreciation periods in Asset Accounting then correspond to the posting periods in Financial Accounting.<b> It is usually not necessary to create a separate fiscal year variant for Asset Accounting.</b>
The period control in the depreciation key determines the start and end of depreciation when asset transactions are posted . The period control determines the relationship between the calendar period in which the asset transaction is posted and the depreciation period.
These calendar periods are independent of the posting periods in Financial Accounting. The only restriction is that the beginning of the first calendar period and the end of the last calendar period defined in a period control have to match the start date and final date of the fiscal year in Financial Accounting.
Kindly let me know if this useful for you

(A)recalculates depr when asset parameters are changed
Where it will be there as it(recalculate button) is not there in AFAB
3) Suppose I have 1000 assets, if I want to run depreciation only for 200 assets how can I do that?
(A)select those 200 and run depreciation
Here Assets Selection option is there only in test run not there in update run.
4) If suppose I have 5 Depreciation areas, I am able to see the book depreciation values only, where I can see the other depreciation values? If we cant see for which purpose we are using other depreciation areas? (A)use AW01N- you cans ee all dep areas
In AW01N only book depreciation values is displayed,how can I see other depreciation area values

Re - Process asset accounting year end process

Hi,
Case- XYZ company is already on K4 fiscal year variant, they want to switch from K4 (calendar year) to V3 (Non- calendar year). Standard SAP process is to create shortened fiscal year for 3 months. But this is only allowed if no entries posted in new fiscal year. This XYZ company is already in the month of Feb. How can we manage this situation in SAP. Asset accounting is implemented in the system. Planned depreciation has already been calculated for 12 months, how can we rewrite planed depreciation? and depreciation has been posted for one Jan 2011.
Plan 1- Keep K4 variant as it is and control this with the help of OB52 to restrict posting. This will allow them to run their day to day process with out any errors in fiscal year 2011
Plan 2 - Maintain K4 as shortened fiscal year and update table T093C to allow system to identify that this 2011 fiscal year is shortened fiscal year. but in both cases question remains what to do with planned depreciation of remaining 9 months?
Waiting for your feed back.
Thanks and Regards,
Sany..

Hi
The system will show you the list of Assets which are incomplete.
I think for the incomplete asset you have not assign the group asset.
Hence in AS02 transaction enter one by one the incomplete assets and complete the same. then run the AJAB transaction which will allow you to close the asset year.
if the answer is helpful kindly assign points
Thanks & Regards

Error - Asset Accounting

Hi All,
I have an Issue in Asset Accounting.Details are mentioned bellow. Pls help me with your advices to resolve this.
Fiscal year assigned for our Company Code is Z1 and it starts from April 2007 till March 2008. We have run the depreciation for 8 periods (i.e., from April 2007 to Dec 2007). After posting the depreciation for December 2008, Management has decided to change the fiscal year to April 2007 to Dec 2007. So that we will have the Calendar year as the Fiscal year from 2008 (jan 2008 to Dec 2008). So that i have change the posting periods by shortened the fiscal year.
As System calculates the depreciation for 12 months and it distributes into 12 periods in that year, postings are done for the first 9 months (Apr 2007 to Dec 2007). And there is balance of 3 months depreciation not posted in the system according to the system initial calculation. So while running the depreciation for 1st Posting Period of 2008 (jan 2008) system has shown error. And so that i have test run the depreciation (AFAB) for the December 2007 with selection of Repeat Run. Results of the test run shows as Amount Posted in Dec 2003 is with correct figures and amount to be posted is with the amount of the 3 months depreciation. So system is expected to post the 3 months Depreciation. Only then we could able to run the depreciation for January 2008.
But we are not required to post those 3 months depreciation in Dec 2007 as that is the last posting period in 2007 and we have already posted the depreciation for this month.
Pls help me to provide the solution to change the amounts which are shown in Amount to be posted column if i repeat run for Dec 2007.
Thanks in advance

Asset Accounting Reports - Can they be run for any selection of dates

Folks,
I have a query - in Asset Accounting, can I run any of the reports (for current fiscal year and closed fiscal years) for any selection of start and end dates? so for example, if I want to run the Asset history sheet for fiscal 2007 (which has been closed in my books), can I run this report for say the month of July 2007 (July 1-31, 2007)?
I was under the impression that asset reports for closed fiscal years could be run for the entire year ONLY!
An early response would be appreciated.
Thx,
Sameer Aroskar

Hi Sameer
I think I did answer this in other forum but anyway here you go again !
Select Transaction OARP >> Depreciation Lists >> RAGAFA01(Posted Depreciation) - Select this and Execute.
Select the require company codes and necessary parameters then under Settings select the Depreciation Posting Period e.g. 4 for the required Report date which can be last day of the month from the required previous years. eg 30.04.2007 etc.
Cheers !
SA
