Revaluate Depreciation for an asset in prior years

Hi,
I have a problem with a couple of assets. We are using 2 depreciation areas - one for statutory depreciation that is posted against GL accounts and one for fiscal purposes, which is only statistical.
For some assets the depreciation key in the alternative, fiscal depreciation area was wrong in last two fiscal years. Is it possible to reopen that old fiscal years and change the depreciation area to correct one and revaluate the depreciation only in that parallel depreciation area? If yes - which steps should i carry out in SAP? This depreciation area does not affect GL accounts posting - so I hope it is possible.
Thank you,
Karol

Hi,
If it is IT dep then i can say it will be possible but if It is Book dep also then system will post the value in FI also in previous year when you do revaluation.
use t-code OAAQ/OAAR.

  • Stop depreciation for an Asset

    Hi,
    I understand when we create a asset master, the number of life years and the depreciation key are copied from the asset class it belongs to.
    However, the finance side requires to pause depreciation for a asset, or they could want to stop depreciation for this asset, and how do we go about doing it? The situation now is that this asset already have depreciation posted.
    I appreciate any help.
    Thanks

    You can use the asset shutdown functionality so you can pause the depreciation for a given period of time.
    AS02 > Time dependent tab , click the asset shutdown. In case asset shutdown is not available, check spro and customise fixed asset master data.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to stop Depreciation for some assets & start again.

    Dear Friends,
    We have a requirement where we have to stop Depreciation for some assets as they are not in use and again post depreciation when they put in use.
    For ex: Asset Value is 10,000 and monthly Depreciation is 100. Asset has been depreciated for first 6 periods in year with 100 each in every month & we want to stop depreciation for coming 3 months and post depreciation when they put in use. Asset should not be depreciated when they are not in use and calculate regular 100 if we run depreciation again if we put in use. So total Depreciation of the asset for the year should be 900 (First 6 Months & last 3 months).
    Please explain step by step process to do this and your kind cooperation to solve this issue is highly appreciated.
    Points will be rewarded for sure if my problem solves.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Naveen Kumar.

    Go to AS03 Asset Master/Dep tab and observe the dep key
    Goto AFAMA and select that dep key and click on assignment of calculation methods
    You can see last row for shutdown field and select YES
    Go to asset master at AS02/Time dependent data and select shutdown check box and enter period
    If shutdown check box is not available goto as03 and goto menu environment-screen layout and master data and identify the screen layout number
    Go to SPRO-Financial Accounting (New)-Asset Accounting-Master Data-Screen Layout-Define Screen Layout for Asset Master Data-Define Screen Layout for Asset Master Data-
    Select your screen layout and click on logical field groups and select 3 (Time dependent data) and click on field group rules and make shutdown field as optional.
    This will allow you to change the shutdownfield asset master data.

  • Error occured while doing depreciation for an asset

    Hi,
    I could running the depreciation for an asset in AFAB t-code.
    The msg is ""Testrun Completed successfully" and "No document were created for this run". I have purchased the asset for the month of April and wanted to run the depreciation for that month.
    Please Advice.
    Thanks
    Bnoy

    Dear Bnoy,
    If you look at the message itself saying Testrun completed successfully. So mean you are runnning depreciation posting program in TEST RUN mode, so it is understood not to post any document in system in real time and if any error occurs must show in simulation mode.
    If you dont found any error in TEST RUN, next running time remove TEST RUN and execute the same again, here at this time system will post the document and asset explorer will get updated with posted values.
    I hope this will help you to understand depreciation posting functionality, and you will be able to overcome the facing issue.
    If you have any doubts feel free to share, you are welcome !

  • Calculation of Depreciation for Group Asset

    Hi Experts,
    I am getting a problem while doing depreciation for group asset
    Ex:  80,000;  Rate 10%
    total depreiaiton p.a is Rs 8000/-
    as per the Indian standards if it is below 180 days it should take Rs 4000/-, but in my system it is showing Rs 3333.33
    my depreciation start date & capitlization date is 01.11.2007.
    Regards,
    Satya Vani.

    Dear,
    Reshma.
    Looking at your Questions let us take explanation for Group Assets :-
    1 ) We need to create new different asset class for Group Class in OAOA. Then permit the depreciation area for only Group Asset in OAYM as it is in your current scenario India  is Depreciation Area 15 Just select your company code in OAYM and check the Grp Asset field for respective area 15. Then go to OAAX here we have to maintain the assets classes particularly for Group Assets. So check your Group Asset classes for Group Assets. Cerate different Group asset classes for your said requirement.
    In these depreciation areas, it is then possible to make an assignment to a group asset.  You make this assignment in the specifications for the depreciation area in the asset master record.  When you post an acquisition to this kind of asset, the system duplicates the line items from this depreciation area on the given group asset.
    2 ) According to me you have to create different depreciation keys for Group Asset classes. Assign the Depreciation keys to your newly created Group Asset Classes in OAYZ and make sure you are deactivating 01 area which is Book Depreciation area.
    3 ) As far as I know this is the only functionality available to handle Group Assets. How ever SAP does not have any standard Group Assets functionality. SAP does not supply asset classes to be used solely for group assets. It is we have to determine as per varying Business Process.
    I hope this will clear your doubt makes you to understand. Please revert back for further clarification. Welcome you.

    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.

  • How to calculate the depreciation for an asset under repair for a month

    Hi,
    I have placed an asset (Laptop) into service 01.01.2013 and I have calculated the depreciation for the 1st period and in the second period 01.02.2013 the laptop is broken and which was sent to the service center and for that entire month no depreciation is calculated. I wanted to start the depreciation for the same asset on 01.03.2013.
    how to process for the depreciation for 3rd period and for the 2nd month what should be the activity of the asset?
    Please explain in detail.
    Thanks,
    Santhosh.

    Hi,
    If you do not want to post depreciation for an asset, then assign depreciation key 0000 for the asset.
    OR
    Use the asset shutdown option in field status group in time dependent tab.

  • Problems posting depreciation for legacy assets taken over

    We recently loaded conversion balances for asset with a takeover date of Aug 2nd, with various prior capitalization dates. The date of last depreciation posted was set as Dec 31st 2004. When we try to post unplanned depreciation for all of 2005 in December, the system says depreciation for period 12 was already posted, so do a repeat run. There was no depreciation actually posted for period 12, because there were no assets before today. A check of the expense account and depreciation report and a search by depreciation doc type confirm this.
    When we try a repeat run, it says cannot do it for period 12, need to do it for period 000. When we try it for period 000, it says no depreciation areas to post to. The config has been checked and the depreciation areas and posting periods are set up correctly.  The load, the depreciation posting and all steps for closing of asset fiscal year were successfully carried out in DEV and QA. The only difference in PRD is that the year was closed before the load, but we reopened it.
    Also, the opening balance in the asset history sheet for 2006 does not agree with the closing balance for 2005, the difference being the planned depreciation amount. The FI-AA reconciliation report RAABST02 also shows a difference only in the Accum Depn accounts, equal to this figure. So clearly the system THINKs depreciation was posted. When we try to close asset fiscal year it says depreciation was not completely posted for 2005, but it won't let us post it. HELP!

    I tested this whole thing in DEV and QA before we did the same process in PRD, and I was able to run depreciation in those clients, so I think the problem is specific to PRD. As I mentioned, the only difference in PRD is that we had closed the fiscal year so I had to re-open it to perform the load.
    Yes, the problem I have been experiencing has been for Dec 2005 and I don't expect there to be anything in TABA because the system simply will not let me post depreciation of any type, for any period in 2005. I've tried it for period 8 as well. No matter what, it keeps insisting that depreciation was already run for period 12 2005 and to do a repeat run. When I try a repeat run, it says 'the last posting run was for period 000' and that only period 000 can be posted in the repeat run. When I try doing it for period 000, it says "there are no areas to post to". 
    I did try to reverse the Y/E close with OAAQ for 2005, but still no luck getting depreciation running. So you see why resetting it was looking like a good option? :-0

  • Clearing of down payments on assets from prior year

    Hello,
    we have the following problem with an Asset under Construction (AuC) that has been migrated from a legacy system with down payments in a prior year.
    Migration has taken place in 2007 (within the year). The down payment has not been cleared in 2007, but left on the asset for 2008. The clearing of the down payment on vendor side has already taken place in 2007.
    When the AuC shall now be settled to a final asset via AIBU, the error message AW605 "Down payment to recipient YYYY area 01 amount XXXX not cleared" appears.
    When the down payment on the Asset under Construction shall be cleared first with transaction ABSO (TType 181 "Clearing of down payments from current year"), the following error message appears: AA571 "Not possible to post down payment clearing. There are no down payments".
    In our SAP Version 6.0 there is NO transaction type "Clearing of down payments from prior year", though.
    Would appreciate any indication how to deal with the issue now - do we need to create a special transaction type for this purpose? If yes, how to configure the settings so that SAP knows to clear down payments from prior year?
    Thanks very much in advance for any help!
    Gabi

    I replied to your second post
    But my question is then how does the down payment appears in the CJI3 report
    Also, I am aware of your initial post. I feel, the details you gave is insufficient. You have just said there are two down payments made against a PO one is reflecting in WBSE another one is not. It will be difficult for others to suggest you a proper solution, You will have to give more detials as how you made the two down payments and you should tell us apart from appearing in WBSE what are all the other differences ..etc., You should give as much details as possible.

  • Depreciation for transfer asset

    Hi Sap Guru,
    I use ABUMN to transfer asset A (100%) to  asset B.
    And the APC value is 617.00 and accumulated depreciation is 37.02.
    I use   " percentage from useful life (0011) ".
    but I find the system use APC amount to calculate the depreciation for the transfer year not including the adjustment value (37.02) ???
    And therefore ,the monthly depreciation of asset B is not the same as that of asset A . why ???
    Can we make the system calculate the depreciation for B according to APC and adjustment value ?
    please help me answer the question . thanks a lot.

    Hi,
    we find the depreciation amount will recalculate based on the depreciation parameter in new asset .
    Therefore , we make all depreciation parameter including depreciation key , useful life, depreciation start date etc in new asset the same as those in old asset.
    And then , the depreciation amount will be the same.
    You can use path Financial Accounting>Asset Accounting>Transaction>Intercompany Asset Transfers>Automatic Intercompany Asset Transfers>Define Transfer Variants>(Specify Transfer of Fields (for New Asset in Target CoCd))
    to transfer the depreciaiton parameter to new asset.

  • How to accout unplanned depreciation for group assets

    Friends,
    Unplanned depreciation is accounted for group assets few years ago.This is for special depreciation areas.
    Now i would like to reverse this amount as write up unpalnned depreciation,  but system is throwing eror message that: This  function is not possible for group assets.
    OR
    The issue what we are facing is special dep areas has one cent as -ve acquisition due to which we are unable to deactivate the asset. This one cent was accounted as unplanned dep few years ago. How do we make the APC as zero when it has -ve APC in special dep areas.
    pl,  suggest how to go about this.
    Thank
    NNS

    Hi,
    This is not possible in the standard and this is not a from SAP intended and provided solution. Therefore I ask you to be really careful and test it bevore on a test system.  (and perhaps to discuss this with your SAP consultant)
    The workaround to remove the group asset from table  ANLB-ANLGR from the asset could be done by creating your own program.

  • Tax depreciation for fixed asset in Singapore

    Dear all,
    One of our client in Singapore want to run tax depreciation in fixed asset module as below .       
    They want to run depreciation with stright line method pro rata by the year of useful life      
    and the depreciation will be posted only once a year at the first period of the year that acqusition.      
    (No matter when they acqusition the asset)     
    For example : if they do acqusition an asset = 300,000  S$  on any date in year 2009 with useful life 5 years,      
    the depreciation should be posted as below:       
    Depreciation per year = 300,000/5  = 60,000      
    31-Jan-09     Depreciation should be posted = 60,000
    31-Jan-10     Depreciation should be posted = 60,000
    31-Jan-11     Depreciation should be posted = 60,000
    31-Jan-12     Depreciation should be posted = 60,000
    31-Jan-13     Depreciation should be posted = 60,000
    How shuold I can do the configuration for this requirement ?    Please kindly advise.
    Mary_K

    Hi Mary,
    I'm from Singapore. Here's how you will configure the system.
    Create a dep area for Tax depreciation. You should create new Period Control Method (AFAMP) where you will assign 06 period control to acq, add, ret, trn. 06 means start of the fiscal year.
    After that, you create a "Dep Key" to assign this period control method. Then in the dep area per asset class, assign this dep key to the tax dep area.
    The system will default the start of dep for tax the start of the fiscal year regardless of when it was acquired within the FY.

  • Avoid Depreciation for particular asset

    Sir ,
    Is there any possibility to avoid to run depreciation for particular or specified assets.
    Tamil Selvan.

    Hi
    Select the check box of Asset Shut Down in Time dependent tab in Asset Master.
    Asset shutdown
    Set this indicator if you want to shut down the asset for the displayed period of time.No depreciation will be calculated for assets that have been shut down when you use an appropriate depreciation key.
    Or Select Dactivation date in General Tab in Asset Master
    Deactivation date
    The system enters the asset value date of the retirement posting for a full retirement in this field.Once an asset has been deactivated, you can no longer post to the asset (with one exception:  posting a reversal of the last retirement). In order for you to be able to make correction postings after an asset has been deactivated, you can also manually change the deactivation date in the asset master record
    Thanks
