Revaluation of depreciation for prior year in alternative depreciation area

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 Murali,
Thank you for your reply.
My only concern is - I don't want to affect the other depreciation areas (in case anything changed in their depreciation keys).
Is there a way to just open past years only for this particular depreciation area and to rerun depreciation just for it?
I thought of OAAR transaction - undo year end closing by Depreciation area - just to focus on it. Do you think it might work the same as AJRW, or should I use AJRW?
Can I run AFAR only for the selected depreciation area and it will not affect any other depreciaton area? We are using 4.6C version.
Thank you,
Karol

Customizing setting 'Recalculate depreciation for previous years'

Dear Experts,
I have requirement where for tax depreciation areas we want the system to recalculate the depreciation for previous years. For e.g.
Asset acquired on 7/1/06 with value 10000
Useful life: 5 years
Take over date in asset accounting: 9/30/2008
With the above example, I want the system to show me depreciaiton values for the years 2006 and 2007 also in transaction AW01N (Asset Explorer), apart from 2008.
In FI-AA customizing, I have enabled the relevant depreciation areas for recalculation in the node 'Recalculate Depreciation for Previous Years' (Transaction OAYF).
However, when I create the legacy asset and maintain the takeover values, the system just shows me depreciation for 2008 and onwards.
Is there something I am missing? Please advice. I have searched the SAP help and SAP notes, but did not find anything.
Regards,
Vishal.

This is not possible. When you takeover an asset using AS91, it is creating an ANLC entry for that year only. 2008 in your case. Regardless of when the asset was originally acquired, SAP will only let you report on it back to 2008.
This concept is no different than any other FI/CO legacy conversion. If the customer is going live on Jan 1st 2008 but they want to do monthly comparison reporting in SAP (Jan 07 and Jan 08), then they need to convert 2007 data. If they want 2006, they need to load that too. Etc.
For FI-AA, if the customer wants to view data back to 2006 you would have to change the takeover date to that year and adjust the data as well (accumulated depreciation).

Update Manually planned ordinary depreciation for the year - TC - ABCO

Hello Asset's Gurus.
I need to update a Manually planned ordinary depreciation for the year (ANLC-NAFAM).
I'm looking for a BAPI that will do this update.
I'm using Batch-Input right now with transaction code - ABCO , and I'm having a lot of problems such as updating only some of the selected assets - (no memory problem - no DUMP) while others remaining unchanged.
Please help me find a BAPI that can do this job.
The system is ECC6.
Thanks ahead.

Posting Depreciation for last year in the current year

Hi,
We have a situation in which we have to book depreciation for assets that were put into service since last year in the current year. The depreciation expense was accrued and reported when the year was closed out. However SAP wouldnt allow us to calculate the depreciation for anything before 01/01/2009. The assets were put into service in July of last year and hence we need to post 6 months of depreciation that we accrued last year in this posting period (when we will be capitalizing those assets). How do we go about doing this?
Here is what we tried:
1. Manual Depreciation: Doesnt work. The depreciation key we are using (LINA) doesnt allow manual depreciation
2. Changing the ordinary dep start date: You can change this date to last year but it wont calculate the depreciation from last year. It just starts the useful life from last year. The depreciation that is being caught up starts from 01/01/2009
3. Unplanned Depreciation: This is not an option because it goes to a different G/L account. The client wants it to be in the regular depreciation expense account only.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Hi,
So far my knowledge goes there is no way wherein you can capitalise assets in currnet year and account for dep from the previous year unless you go for post capitalisation vide ABNAN.Let me try to explain it by the following example.
FY: April to March
APC 10000/
Rate od dep   10%
Ord dep Start   01.10.08.
Asset capitalisation date 01.10.08 but posted in the system on, say   01.04.09.
Line items for ABNAN
70   Asset A/c     10000
75   Acc Dep                          500(on 10000 @ 10% for 6 months)
50 Rev for post capitalisation 9500.
FB60 Line items.
31   Vendor Account       10000
40 Prior per dep                   500
40 Rev from post capitalisation 9500.
I do hope you will be able to clear your confussion.
With best wishes

Revaluation of Asset for past year

Hi,
My client had asset revaluation( reduction in asset value) in Dec. 2009. Because of lack of resource at that time, they carried out this revaluation in strange way.
They didn't reduce the asset value in APC account of asset but to report the effect of revaluation in their P& L and balance sheet they passed manual JE between newly created depreciation and accumulated depreciation account. This accumulated depreciation account is not reconciliation asset account in system.
They closed their books for 2009.Now they want to show this revaluation in asset value by opening 2009 books and reversing the manual entry in system.
I know that individual account balance will change by doing this in ABAW but the total value in Asset and Gross profit will not change. They are fine with that. I tested into the system its working.
Now my problem is they had also carried out depreciation run for 2010 based on old values of asset in sap. and adjusted balance sheet by passing manual entries for two month.
Now if I change value of asset in 2009 Dec. System is now allowing me to rerun (repeat run in AFAB) the depreciation for JAN and FEB to post the new values in depreciation and accumulated depreciation account based on new value.
When I tried to run depreciation for march in test run system adjusted values for JAN and FEB. in March based on new values posted for Dec.2009.
Is there any way I can rerun depreciation in Jan and Feb to post new values based on posted Dec values? The whole purpose is to correct the posted values in Asset apc account, depreciation account and accumulated depreciation account starting in Jan 2009 and onwards based on reevaluated asset values in Dec2009.
If anyone knows the way to carry out this, I appreciate the guidance.
Thank you.

Asset Scrapping - Calculating Depreciation for entire year

Hi guys
We want to scrap an asset without revenue using ABAVN.
Asset Details:
The asset will be completely depreciated by the end of this year (December)
We have smoothing indicator on.
We wish to post the retirement and close out the asset balances in this month itself.
(No depreciation should be pending for the remaining periods of the year)
When we post the retirement transaction in test environment, it still shows the planned depreciation for the entire year.
How do we avoid the planned depreciation posting for future periods ?
Thanks!
Gautam

Perhaps, the following might be a solution that can be implemented safely in a production setup:
Objective: To post retirement related depreciation in a single period without smoothing over the remaining periods.
Solution:
Perform standard depreciation posting run for current period
Turn Smoothing Indicator Off
Write Off Asset
Run Repeat Depreciation Posting Run (select Repeat Posting Run instead of planned and also input the retired asset number)
Turn Smoothing Indicator back on
This should post the complete depreciation in the current period for the retired asset and smooth out the depreciation for all remaining assets

Time series questions - how to do AGO function for prior year end

Question on how to perform the following calculation in OBIEE:
I need to create a time series calculation that will calculate a metric as of Dec prior year. For example, my users will select Mar 2010. I want to show the amount for Mar 10 as well as the amount for Dec 09. If the select Jun 10, I will show them the amount for that month as well as Dec 09.
Is there a way to do an AGO function that will give me this value? I can't use a filter calculation on my column because filter on the period will exclude these records

Thanks John. Your suggestions seems promising but I'm having issues when I tried it out. I am receiving the following error message:
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 22046] To use AGO function, the query level ('Fiscal Period, Prior Fiscal Year End Date') must be a static level. (HY000)
What I did was create a new level off my Fiscal Time dimension which is a child of Total. I tried creating my AGO calculation using this level but received that error message in Asnwers. Any ideas on what I may be doing wrong?

Depreciation for the year to be posted halfly

Hi Guys
In my implementation we have a scenrio, the depreciation for a particular depreciation area has to be done halfly i.e. only on period 06 & 12
I have done necessary configure for the weightage and for the relevant depreciation area
OAYL - i have clicked the check box for the relveant depreciation area
OA85 - i have given the weightage for the period 06 & 12 as 50% and for all the other period as 0
But when i run the depreciation AFAB - the deprecation is getting posted from the very first period
Did i missed any config guys
Thanks in advance
Warm Regards
Bala

Hi Bala,
When I look to your example you can use a nomal depreciation key like LINR. In the asset you have to say start at the middle of a year. Like on 01-07-XXXX.
In the period control from your depreciation key you can use start at the middle of the year. When the fiscal year is not the same as the calendar year you have to define that in the period controls.
When you create a posting then the depreciation keys looks to the period controle table and fill in automtatecly depreciation start date.
When this is in all the years you have to say
years month
0          6         0%
1                     50%
1          6         0%
2                     50%
It is then important that the depreciation start date is the first day of the fiscal year.
For tessting this you can better use the esset exploirer. There you can see the planed values by month for this year and the years tottals for the other year.

Bonus Depreciation for the year 2010

Hello Gurus,
I need to configure for the bonus depreciation based on the newly enacted US law 2010. The requirement is, for the asset purchased between 3rd Jan 2010 through 07th Sept 2010, the bonus depreciation need to be calculated @50% as special depreciation. The balance need to be depreciated as ordinary depreciation for 2010 and the remaining periods. For the assets purchased between the period 08th Sept to 31st dec 2010, the bonus depreciation need to be100%.
Please let me know the step by step configuration that need to be done for:
1. Depreciation key M20S.
2. The base method to be maintained
3. The multilevel method
4. The period control method for depreciating the values for the above mentioned dates
5. The bonus depreciation need to be calculated only for 2010 and should not be calculated for 2011 and onwards.
Also please let me know if there is any SAP note for 2010 Bonus depreciation calculation
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Sri

Hi Sri,
please check the OSS notes 1316999 and 1148489 in relation to your issue.

Can not close company code in asset accounting for prior year in ECC 6.0

Hi,
I have problem with closing one company code in particular for 2007. I have run through the basic steps, however when I run AJAB. I am told to restart the posting run. I restarted the asset posting run ASKB and depreciation rub AFAB. Both finished without error. Again AJAB gives me the same message afterwards. I confirmed with my security team that I have access to close the company code. I ran a trace on the AJAB transaction for company 7600 and received the following:
All these errors repeated about 200 times.
I_ANLN1 incremented to about 215.

Moving to UK for a year from US - What are my options?

Okay, so my wife and I are moving to Edinburgh in two weeks, for a 1yr stay. I currently have an iPhone 4 and she has the iPhone 3Gs. I just got off the phone with AT&T and my options are to put our account on a 'reduced rate suspension' which means we get charged $10/month (per line... so $20/month) to essentially put our contracts on hold. The issue here is that an account can only be on a 'reduced rate suspension' for 180 days. After which, our normal plan would be automatically turned on - the woman said if we went with the cheapest options, it would come to $109/month! (so... $660 for our final 6 months of being in the UK)
I then called back and spoke to someone about canceling our account. Turns out with what we have left in our contracts the termination fees amount to $140 for my wife and $146 for my phone. Activation fees when we return (should we choose AT&T) would be $56, and that would cover both phones.
Even writing this makes it seem more absurd than what I already thought. Has anyone had a similar experience with moving abroad for longer than 6 months?
Second question...
Once we arrive in Scotland - any recommendations on best plans to get for our phones? Seems like O2 is the default provider and have relatively inexpensive plans. Will our US iPhones function properly by merely swapping out our AT&T SIM cards for O2 SIM cards? Do they need to be jailbroken first?
Any help/tips/etc... would be greatly appreciated as I'll be in need of getting my phone up and running as soon as I can when we arrive. Also, if anyone has any thoughts on the best way to use the phone to contact the US I'm all ears. I have google voice set up and it's only $0.10 per minute to call for me, and my google voice number is local for people here. I don't plan to do it often, but I'd love to know if there's a better (more free) option - skype? (embarrassed to say I've never used skype before)
Thanks in advance for any feedback.
-Matt

There are 5 networks selling Iphones in UK. You can buy a pay as you go Sim from O2 and T-mobile, others are on a 30 day contract. Web on pay as you go is $7.50 a month when you top up your pay as go phone monthly. Non contract phones are expensive but when bought from apple come factory unlocked and work in the USA on your return with any US Sim card and no future contract.

Scope statement for Change From Prior Year

Hello All,
I have to create Current Year, Prior year and change from Prior year for all the measures. I was able to creat current Year and Prior Year calcuation with scope statemnet. But I could not do the same for Change from Prior year. I am getting 0 for
all the months.
Here is what i have:
SCOPE([LABEL].[LABEL].&[ChangeFromPY])
THIS=
AGGREGATE(
[DATE DT].[Date_Hierarchy].CURRENTMEMBER,
[LABEL].[LABEL].&[Current Year]
AGGREGATE(
PARALLELPERIOD
[DATE DT].[Date_Hierarchy].[Year], 1, [DATE DT].[Date_Hierarchy].CURRENTMEMBER),
[LABEL].[LABEL].&[Prior Year]

Hi Om25,
According to your description, the Prior year calculation works on Excel, however, it not works when creating dashborad in performance Point, right? In this case, you can create separate measures for Prior Year in Cube, and use it in performance Point directly.
Here is a link that might helpful for you, please see:

I don't think I understand exactly what the ask is. What field allows you to distinguish between prior year and current depreciation? TRANSTYPE?
I think your data is fine. I would suggest using a Matrix instead of a table. Just set the column group to group on the field that distinguishes between current and prior year depreciation. Add all of the rest of your column outside the column group so they
are only scoped by your row group(s). You can add those columns either before or after your column group columns.
If you have a lot of work into your report already and don't want to create a new matrix which will require you to recreate the work already done on your table. you can convert the existing table to a matrix as described in this technet wiki article:
