Set up Depreciation Key with specific depreciation date

Hi Gurus,
       Our system is ERP 4.7. I am trying to set up the depreciation key with the specific depreciation date. Here is more detail; I have the tax requirement that the asset will get depreciated at 25% until 03/31/08 and 20% from 04/01/08. Is there a way that we can set up according to the requirement?
       Here is an example based on the logic. The asset is capitalized on 01/01/08 with the acquisition value, $1000. That means at 01/01/09 the accumulation depreciation will be 212.5 ( 3 month at 25% and 9 month at 20%). After 01/01/09 the asset will be depreciate with 20% until becoming $0
       I have been investigating in Multi-Level Methods, but it seem like I can define only year and period.
       If you know the solution, could you please provide with the detail how to set up?
Regards,
Song

How to get Depreciation key independant from Depreciation area

Hello,
We are using two depreciation areas 01 book depreciation and 15 Tax, in our asset class we have put for both the same depreciation key (GD50) but with a different uselife for every depreciation area
Now when we create a new asset (AS01) intially the correct uselife appears ( tab depreciation area) but apparently when i want to change the one for depreciation area 01 its also changed in depreciation area 15 - how can we avoid that 15 is 'linked' to 01?
Many thanks

Depreciation run for specific depreciation area

Hi,
In AA, we defined 2 depreciation area for all the assets class, one for local(01), another one for group(30). all the area will be posted to FI.
according to requirement, we would like to stop specific depreciation area depreciation run for certain asset(not asset class). this means that for depreciation area 01, it will be work, but for 30, it should be stopped. may be 3 months later, this asset will be restart run depreciation for area 30.
Would anyone know how to do that? thanks.
Ben

Hi
Hope you have to change the Config settings then.
Go to AO21 and select your screen layout and double click Field Group rules and under FG 18 you have Deactiv. area make this enrty optional and also select the check box MnNo.
Save the entry.
Come back to AS02,now the dep area will be available for deactivation.
Good Luck

I have removed line " WHEN PROJET_CODE != 'ID projet'   " , because when I use it, because column is NULL .. it doesn't take the NULL into consideration... and as a results, there is only one line loaded, and not the 3 others !
Now, when I remove line " WHEN PROJET_CODE != 'ID projet'   " , I get the results that I want (4 lines loaded), BUT a BAD file is created (with the first row, the one that starts with 'ID projet' )
I understand that this is normal behaviour with this CTL.
But would it be possible to not put this 'ID projet' line into the BAD file (so that the directory is not polluted with numerous BAD files)
   I was thinking with something like this :   " WHEN NVL( PROJET_CODE, 'none') != 'ID projet' "
       But this doesn't work..
Do you have any advice to provide ?
Thanks in advance

Depreciation Key for Capital Leasehold Improvement

Hi Everyone
I need your help in creating the depreciation key for the Capital leasehold improvemnet assets. I need to specify a specific percentage rate for each period of the first year to calculate depreciation (if asset is acquired in period 1, rate x. If asset is acquired in period 2, then rate y and so on). From year 2-39, it is a constant rate of depreciation.
I created a multilevel method by specifying that year 1, base level 01, rate is 2.461
Year 39, base level 01, rate is 2.564.
I assigned it to the depreciation key with Base method 0012, Period control 002, and the multilevel method that I created. When I post an asset acquisition and use this key for Asset, the amounts for year 1 & 2 are not correct. Second year is taking part of percentage from the first year and the first year is trying to calculate the depreciation for the whole year despite the fact that asset was capitalized in February.
Can someone help me with step-by-step details to create this key?
I appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Shalu

Asset Cross year with fluctuating depreciation

Hi Experts
I was wondering if you guys could help me. The scenario is like this.
**Posting period for this company is K4 (calendar year).
Asset purchased during
a) 1 February 2010 - 31 January 2011 > Depreciation percentage is 5%
b) 1 February 2011 - 31 January 2012 > Depreciation percentage is 6%
etc
Could you guys provide me with some notes on how to configure these settings.
Thank you very much

Assuming you are in ECC 6 and activated EA-FIN component, you can do so by giving an effective date by assigning a different depreciation key in teh master data.

Depreciation Key change

Hi
Emergency request***********
Recently I had a requirement for change of depreciation key in the asset classes in depreciation areas 01- book depreciation to calculate straight line depreciation as the old depreciation key was not doing as requested. This was asked to configure for new assets. But, Now when the depreciation key is updated for all the assets and the depreciation is calculated very high and the deprecation is posted for that period.
I know there is no way we can reverse the depreciation values posted for this what I have done is I updated the old depreciation key in asset classes and done the AFAB repeat depreciation run for the period for which values are posted but still this not updating.
Can any one help me how to over come this issue...
Thanks
Srinath

Hi Bernhard,
Let me explain you once again,
recently the request for change of depreciation key so, what I have done is created a new depreciation key and assigned depreciation key in asset class.
Old depreciation key: ABCD
New depreciation Key is : XYZ1
I changed with new depreciation key in Asset class but this is not updated in the assets but the values have changed for all the assets for that asset class.
so, even when I put back the old depreciation key in the asset class and update this is not bringing any difference in the asset and when I re run the depreciation in AFAB this is not making any changes.
Thanks
Srinath

Depreciation key can it be changed

1) Can we change the depreciation key beofre running depreciation for assets. Suppose we decide that we want to change the depreciaiton key to calculate depreciation at 4% rather then at 2%, can we do that. If yes, how do we do that. Also can we do the same for Asset Group.
2) What is the purpose acquiring asset with automatic offsetting entry ABZON?
Why would we post capitalize existing assets if the previous year is closed. They must still be depreciated since they are existing in the system. Please explain why do we need to post capitalize an existing asset. I can understand for a new asset, it works.

Hi,,
We can chnge depreciation key when ever we want. after changing depreciation key the new values are not showing in planned values then we have to run recalculate depreciation program for that asset i.e in ARAR .

Change of Depreciation key - Planned Depreciation

Dear All,
We are having the scenario that, when we change the depreciation key for the asset, the system issues the warning message and still we need to change that.
However the asset has been posted to already. As a result of changing the depreciation key, the planned depreciation in open fiscal years will be recalculated.
How do we avoid to recalculate the planned depreciaiton for the asset when we change the depreciation key.
Because everytime we need to stop depreciation for a number of assets and thus change of depre.key is required.
I request you to all, please kindly provide your values.
Regards,
Ran.

Hi Friend,
It is possible to change the depreciation key, but you can not avoid Planned Dep. Posting Run. As the system considers that it has to re-run.
According to me, you should create the new depreciation Area for such kind of assets and you should go for manual depreciation. Because it is not reasonable to change the depreciation key everytime.

Jigar

Inactivate Depreciation Key

Hi,
I tried to inactivate Depreciation Key through AFAMA but status field is in Grey. Please guide how to do it.
Regards,
VS

You might want to do the following.
1. If you have already assigned the depreciation key in a depreciation area, then first, you would have to delete the depreciation key from such a depreciation area.
2. Make note of how the depreciation key is defined. Only do this if it is a SAP standard depreciation key. There is no need to make a note of it if you who defined the depreciation key in question.
3. Delete the depreciation key in AFAMA.
4. Re-create the depreciation key but do not activate it this time round. However, if it was your own defined depreciation key, then again there is no need recreating it.
Hope this help resolve your issue.

Asset Transfer with Asset depreciation Strat date

Dear All,
I have a scenario where the asset depreciation needsto be calculated based on the asset transfer date,
For example if the asset accquired on 01.03.2011 and it is puts into used on 16.04.2011, tehn depreciation should be calculated from 16.04.2011.
To achive the smae while creating the asset master i have created depreciation start date in future date. When ever I wil ldo the asset trasnfer throguh ZProgram it will update the depreciaiton started with asset transfer date.
My problem is that if the same Asset get transfered from one location to other location that should be depreciated with the specified cost center from asset transfer date.
When Ever I do further transfer the system is considering the depreciation from transfer date only its ignoring the previous date which are not posted depreciation.
Please let me know is it the depreciation calculation will have with multiple transfer dates.
Regards,
Rama Mohan

Dear Mohan,
Generally the following points are relevant.
1. Specify Transfer of Fields
CU: FI-AA:
-> Transactions
-> Intercompany Asset Transfers
   -> Automatic Intercompany Asset Transfers
    -> Define Transfer Variants
     -> Specify Transfer of Fields (for New Asset in Target CoCd)
      -> 03#Ord.dep.start date
If you mark "03#Ord.dep.start date ", the system is calculating
depreciation from the year of capitalization.
2. Transaction type: Indicator: Transfer adopting dep. start date
Indicator: Transfer adopting dep. start date
Set this indicator, if you want to adopt the historical depreciation
start date and capitalization date from the retiring asset when you
perform intercompany asset transfers or intracompany transfers.
3. Also, could you please verify these setting in you system according
to note 327088
4. Period control of the depreciation key.
regards Bernhard

Asset Depreciation Key

Dear Gurus,
I am facing an issue with setting up a depreciation key.
The principle is the following / 15% / year - 1st year 7.5%
No NBV < 0
Period control // everything to be calculated 1st day of the year
I have tried to do something with multilevel method - but I think I am missing something.
Enclosed, screenshots...
Thank you all for your ideas and your help.

Hi,
Define multi level method for the dep.key as shown below.
Then the depreciation for the asset as shown below..

Setup one depreciation key

Hi Gurus,
I have a scenario as below:
1) Define one depreciation key that allow user to specify any of the useful life during asset master data creation
2) Based of the useful life entered in the asset master data help to calculate planned/posted depreciation automatically
Instead of define all the posibility depreciation key, may I know if there is any flexible way that I could setup to cater for above scenario?
Pls advise and guide with sample example.
Thanks & regards,
Loi

Loi,
1) Define one depreciation key that allow user to specify any of the useful life during asset master data creation
    - During the creation of Asset Master data, you have the option to manually input the asset's useful life
    - If you want SAP uatomatically derive the useful life base on the asset class, you can maintain in in tcode OAYZ
      Chart of Depreciation
      Asset Class
      Depreciation Area
      Deprciation Key
      Useful life
      Period
      Layout
2) Based of the useful life entered in the asset master data help to calculate planned/posted depreciation automatically
     - the planned depreciation will be automatically calculated base on the depreciation key (straight line/declining balance) also useful life is a factor
     - Base on the planned depreciation, actual depreciation will be posted to the asset when you execute "Depreciation Run" program tcode AFABN.
Instead of define all the posibility depreciation key, may I know if there is any flexible way that I could setup to cater for above scenario?
If you have existing depreciation key that will satisfy your depreciation calculation requirement, no need to create new one.
Thanks!

Creation of Depreciation key

Dear All,
When i am creating Depreciation keys...i am giving various methods which i defined...but when i am saving
the depreciation key i am getting following warning...
1000 CA06 N 1: Percentage rate required for depreciation calculation method P
Diagnosis
You have to enter at least one percentage rate in multi-level method C06. This is required in combination with depreciation calculation method P in base method IND1.
System Response
Data is not saved.
Procedure
Use a different base method or a different multi-level method, or enter a percentage rate. The incorrect entry is in 1000 CA06 N 1 (chart of depreciation, depreciation key, depreciation type, depreciation phase).
Will there be any impact when i am doing my transactions......
Please help to resolve the issue
Sapfrido

Dear,
Sapfrido.
When you maintain P as Stated Percentage in your BASE METHOD it is need to maintained the percentage for the specified key in your Multilevel Method , So in accordance with your mentioned one criteria system will carry out depreciation calculation.
Hope this will help you to understand.
Please revert if you need clarification.

Depr. key for daily depreciation

Hello All,
I have deferrals in AA and daily depreciation for them. For this purpose I copied the existent standard depreciation key and put in AFAMA checkbox Depreciation to the day.
So, for example, I have an asset, bought on 14.10.2009, the value is 140.000 USD, useful life is 14 months (till to 14.12.2009). The depreciation for October should be: 5.667 for other months 10.000 and for December 4.333.
But system does not account this check box and plan depreciation in October as in usual month.

Thank you, you were right!
BUT
when I create a new asset with capitilization date of 20.02.2009 and value 1300$ for 91 day (3month) system planed:
1 J -           0.00
2 F -           85.71-
3 M -           400.00-
4 A -           428.58-
5 M -           385.71-
6 J -           0.00
7 J -           0.00
8 A -           0.00
9 S -           0.00
10 O -           0.00
11 N -           0.00
12 D -           0.00
TOTAL:           1,300.00-
But if we make manually calculations, system should planned
for February: 1300$:91d(28d-20d)=14,28$8d=114,24 $
for March: 31d14,28$=442,68 $*
for April: 30d14,28$=428,4 $*
for May: 22d14,28$=314,16 $*
TOTAL: 1299,48
Why do not system plan such figures and what to customize for this?
