Reverse Asset Depreciation for Closed FY

Hi Asset Gurus...
Need your expert advice...on the following Asset issue....
PROBLEM : We have done the Year end closing for FY 2009 for our assets in Jan 2010. But we have already reported out Balance sheet in Dec 2009 for FY 2009. Now, when we have closed the FY 2009 in Jan 2010, system postes some financial entries related to Depreciation difference between area 01 and area 02 on the balance sheet.
Now the business thinks its not acceptable..as what we see in SAP for the BS 2009 contradicts what we have already reported to the authorities..
So, we need to change this situation in SAP...i.e. correct these postings ( or infact cancel these postings that have happened due to this depreciation difference between area 01 and area 02 in the Fy 2009 ) so that the BS 2009 shown in SAP would match what we have reported.
Now the real problem is that : THE ASSET FISCAL YEAR IS ALREADY CLOSED AND ALSO WE CANNOT MANUALLY POST ANY FI ENTRIES FOR THESE DEPRECIATION DIFFERENCE GL ACCOUNTS AS THEY CAN BE POSTED ONLY INTERNALLY.
SOLUTION THOUGH OF : Now, We see that probable solution would be re run the Depreciation for FY 2009 again by opening period 12 2009 so that the depreciation differences calculated wrongly would be gone.( But is this kind of suggested or acceptable ).
In the Other case, should we do an ASSET WRITE UP OR TRANSFER POSTINGS to negate the postings that have already happened.
One more thing..I want to clarify is that : THE REASON THE DEPRECIATION DIFFERENCES OCCURRED BETWEEN AREA 01 and AREA 02 is because both of them had a different depreciation key in FY 2009( somehow they had diff. dep keys which was wrong as told to us by the business and they discoverd this situation in 2010 ). So, we corrected the Dep keys for the two areas in FY 2010 ....But for the FY 2009 , when we closed the FY 2009, the depreciation differences already got posted in the Balance Sheet.
REAL PROBLEM IS THAT WE WERE ABLE TO CORRECT THE DEPRECIAITION KEYS IN THE ASSETS, but WE WANT TO CORRECT THE WRONG POSTINGS THAT HAVE TAKEN PLACE IN FY 2009 ( i mean the Financial postings that took place.. the GL accounts that got posted are Acc. depreciation difference account and dep. difference account ).
We also cannot manually reverse this FI entry , as these postings happeend automatically..
So i see..probable solution is reopen the FY 2009 and carry out a repeat dep run ??
Or do a ASSET WRITE UP OR TRANSFER POSTNGS FOR THESE GL ACCCOUNTS?
I am not an expert myself but seek the guidance of the experts here to resolve our issue..
In case, you need any more clarification on this problem..I will let you know the same...
Waiting for your feedback on the same..
Thanks,
Kris.....

There is no issue with FY 2010 as we have changed the Dep. Key in 2010.
The issue is with only FY 2009 which is now closed.
But the transaction ABF1 as you have mentioned cannot be used in this case, as when we try to post to these GL accounts, it gives us the message that they can only be posted automatically by the system ( which i think is true as these postings occur only after the dep. run ).
Is there any other tcode through which we can correct the wrong dep. values that were posted in FY 2009.
Thanks,
Kris...

  • 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.

  • Can SAP run the depreciation for closed Period and posting to diff month?

    My client forgot to run the depreciation for Jan 2011, and now the Jan period has been closed and report also done.
    My solution was to re-open the Jan and does the depreciation, once completed reclassify Jan depreciation posting to Feb 2011 manually.
    I am just wandering whether SAP can handle this different way.
    Can SAP performs Jan (Closed Period) depreciation and post to Feb period automatically or any other suggestions?
    Cheers

    Hi
    Yes, you can do that
    Follow this thread... Unable to post depreciation- Error AA730

    Hi
    Try OAAQ to open the previous year and then using ABMA post manual depreciation. Also the FI period has to be open in OB52
    Thank You,

  • Asset depreciation for legacy data

    Hi,
    I encounter the following problem, please input some advices.
    An asset from legacy system needed to be migrated into SAP.
    In the old system, it starts to depreciate at rate of 20% per year, but after a period of time, it changes the depn. rate into 14%, and will keep using 14% in SAP.
    My question is how to handle the changed of rate in SAP during migration? As the lump sum depreciation figures in old system in higher than 14% per year which calculated in SAP, SAP would calculate an adjustment figure and post in coming period during depreciation.
    Is it possible to maintain 2 items of depreciation attributes? Specifying the starting dep date and the rate for each period.
    Best Regards,

    No, I understand it is not possible to have one depreciation key to have different rates in it.
    The following are some examples
    17% --> 6%
    17% --> 14%
    15% --> 14%
    20% --> 14%
    Since the depreciation keys have been created for those on left hand side, I'm thinking is there a possibility that I just created two more for 6% and 14%, and telling system change of depreciation rate by specifying the date of change on each asset... Just wonder got this kind of setting or not.
    Thanks!

  • Re-calculation of depreciation for closed FY

    I have changed the depreciation key to calculate depreciation to the day. The program AFAR allows one to re-calculate depreciation only for the currently open FY and not prior yrs.  I am happy for the re-calculated values to be posted to the currently open FY but the calculation needs to take into account the capitalisation date of the closed FY. I have reviewed the posts regarding this and cannot find the required solution.
    Thanks a lot

    Hi
    1. Post an unplanned depreciation in the current year.. 
    2. After the unplanned dep is posted in current year, if you want to shift the impact to previous year,
    a. Pass a JV in F-02 using a P&L account and Balance sheet account
    b. Dr the balance sheet account and Cr the P&L account in Current year
    c. Dr the P&L account and Cr the balance sheet account in the Previous year

  • Asset Depreciation for a period

    I was looking for a standard report for depreciation which would allow me to input the posting periods "From" to "To". Basically I would want to check depreciation posted for a period of time, beginning depreciation and end depreciation.
    My key requirement is the ability to input posting periods or date. For example from period 1 to period 3 or period 4 to period 6 where I can get the values fo beginning depreciation, depreciation posted for the period/s, Accumulated depreciation.
    I need this report by Asset Class
    Thanks.

    In SAP there is no std report which can give you "from" and "to" period with starting deprec, posted deprec, and accum deprec. You will have to develop that custom report.
    Std SAP report S_P99_41000192 will give you deprec posted "from" and "to" period.

  • Fixed Asset year-end Closing

    Hi!
    We are about to execute Fixed Asset Closing (trans code AJAB), which is a pre-requisite before closing FI. What FI closing is this? Is it the trans code S_ALR_87003642 (Open and Close Posting periods) or the F.16 (Balance Carry Forward)?
    Also, FI-AA module allows two fiscal years being open. We are following the  Fiscal Calendar period being Dec 2006 is our last month period for year 2006. We are now in new Fiscal Year 2007. Is this means that is it okey not to close Fiscal Year 2006?
    Thanks for your inputs.
    Roberto

    Hi Robert,
    AJAB closes the year in the sub-module and prevents postings with assets in it. Also, changes in the depreciation keys and useful lives of the asset doesn't touch posted depreciation in closed year. You have to close the year in the sub-module (AA) before closing it in FI.
    You have to close the FI periods in S_ALR_87003642 separately for asset accounts (type A). However, if you close with AJAB, you cannot update asset accounts for closed year as you cannot post with any asset in it.
    Transaction code AJRW in AA is analogous to F.16 in FI.
    Yes, you may not close 2006 yet as the current year is 2007. But you have to close 2005 already, if you have not done it yet.

  • Reverse Unplanned Depreciation

    Hello Gurus,
    The business is trying to close the Fixed Assets Year and before doing that they want to reverse unplanned depreciation for an asset. Can someone kindly advice how this could be performed? Is there a standard tcode to do so?
    Thanks in advance!
    YJ

    Hi:
            You can do that using ABS0. This is the only way to reverse unplanned depreciation. Create a new entry with ABSO and a transaction type which is the opposite of the one you are using . Enter then the same values in depreciation areas you put for your unplanned depreciation. e.g If you have posted your unplanned depreciation with transaction type '600' (debit transaction), create a transaction type 'Z00' 'Reverse unplanned depreciation' with 'credit transaction' and use it in ABSO transaction. Hope it will help you.

  • Reversing Posted Depreciation

    I would like to enquire if it is possible to reverse accumulated depreciation for assets to be retired.

    It would be nice if you can give some details as to the error you want to correct.

  • Reverse depreciation for asset wise

    Dear SAP gurus,
    Is it possiablity to do reverse depreciation for assets wise.Please suggest me.
    Thanks in advance,
    Sai

    Hi,
    In standard it is not possible.
    You have workaround for this.
    1.Change the depreciation key assigned in asset master
    2.Copy transaction type 640 and choose debit transaction radio button. Next go to ABAA and give the new transaction type and amount(depreciation amount) to reverse.
    You can choose any one option from the above.

  • 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
