Shift Depreciation for assets

Hi All
I want to charge depreciation as follows:
Depreciation Rate: 4.75% for 180 days, 7.42% for 90 days and 10.34% for remaining 95days.
I have created 3 different depreciation key for above three rates. But its not working
For this shift factor will be used. Let me know how to do it in SAP.

Hi,
The following steps are needed to maintain multiple shift depreciation:
1.The variable depreciation portion as a percentage rate is to be maintained in the detail screen of the depreciation area. Variable proportion is calculated out of the system as follows:
(Difference between two dep rates as per shift wise X100)/ lower dep rate. eg. (7.42-4.75)*100/4.75 = 56.21
For each shift you can define period intervals.
In time dependent tab, for Single Shift
shift factor - 1
variable portion = 56.21052632
for double shift
shift factor - 2
variable portion - 56.21052632
for thiple shift
shift factor - 3
variable portion - 58.84.
2. The multiple shift factor is to be maintained in the time dependent data in the asset master record. This shift factor is multiplied by the variable portion of ordinary depreciation.
Once you have done the above the SAP system calculates the total depreciation amount as follows:
Depreciation amount = Fixed depreciation + (variable depreciation * shift factor)

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.

Thanks in advance

Vishvas B

Hi,
please check the SAP Help Portal for Fixed Asset Accounting. There is one chapter for multiple shift depreciation. Summarized you have a shift factor in the time-dependent area of the master record, a variable depreciation portion in the depreciation parameters, and a setting of how to impact useful life in case of shift depreciation at depreciation key level. How they go together is documented.

Running depreciation for assets uploaded by ADI

Hi All,
I uploaded some assets into applications using ADI (Application Desktop Integrator). I did not enter any YTD or Accumulated Depreciation values while doing that with the hope that the applications will calculate it when I first run the depreciation for the current open period.
For some of the assets, Date in Service field has a date from 2-3 years ago. Does anybody know if applications calculate depreciation for those old assets when running it for say January 2007 or I have to manually calculate and enter it into the system.
Thanks,

Hi Bernhard
The understanding of getting -1100 as NBV is correct
But when we check the AR001/AR002 as an enhancement spot, our requirement cannot be done
We tried the other option of taking an customer exit during AFAB and tried to append the value of depreciation. At that point we cannot append the current period depreication from postive to negative
From our analysis we found that it may not be the right place, since we have the value of depreciation in postive in AA table (which can be checked in AW01N)
The other option of this is while posting transaction for example F-90, the system will post FI transaction and it will update the AA tables as well
But AA updation happens at backgroud. Do you have any idea or hint which program will update the AA when F-90 is done
If you check the value in AW01N, this will be calculated the planned depreciation movement the F-90 transaction is posted
Thanks

Freeze the partial depreciation for asset

Dear Expert,
We have special scenario for asset depreciation. In China, the assetu2019s retirement need waiting for government inspection & approval. The requester to do the physical scrap when we got the approval, and then the asset accountant will retire this asset in SAP system.
In the period of waiting of approval, the asset needs to stop the depreciation. We can shutdown or change depky 0000 for depreciation freeze, but these methods will freeze all NBV which mean the entire asset has not depreciation, but we think freeze the partial NBV and the remainder NBV still has depreciation in future.
For example,
Asset A - 01/31/2009 GAV $100 AD $50 NBV $50
This asset needs the partial scrap for $20 on 02/01/2009.
Asset A - 02/01/2009 GAV $100 AD $50 NBV $30 * 20$ will be froze.
Just need to your help, What method can carry out this result in SAP?
Thanks.

Hi,
You can use the cutoff value key and assign it in the depreciation key and in turn assign it in asset master,in your case the cutofff key would be defined as 20%. (if you want you can create a new dep key and assign it to the specific asset)
doing this will make sure that after NBV of the asset is $20, depreciation will not be carried out.
hope this clarifies youe query.

J

System not calculating depreciation for assets

The system is not calculating any depreciation or even showing planned depreciation values under asset explorer.
Problem is in QAS client checked configuration and all settings are fine and in test client all is fine system is calculating depreciation. Please help thank you

Hi, check in AW01N in Posted values tab when last depr was posted and when next planed.
May be acquisition was in the next period from period in which you're trying to post depr. Or may be the case in Period control method, I mean that depr'd be calculated quarterly

Variable portion for Multi-shift-depreciation.

Hi,
I am using Multi shift depreciation for Depreciation calcualtion as per
The Indian Company Act.
Rates of depreciation are Single Shift-4.75%, Double shift-7.42%,
Triple shift-10.34%. Variable component for double shift will be 56.21
and 117.68 for triple shift.
As the variable component factor is not proportionate for double shift
and triple shift, Depreciation calculation is not correct.
Kindly advise.

Dwijendra

Hi Dwijendra,
sorry, but in how is the calculation incorrect? What is the system result? And what is your expected result?

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

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.

AR29N Depreciation not completely posted for asset

Hi,
I am trying to do an asset revaluation using transaction AR29N
However, the following message appears when the transaction is executed
Diagnosis
Depreciation still has to be posted for asset.....
System Response
The asset cannot be processed
Procedure
Execute a depreciation posting run for the period 001/2011
I have already executed a depreciation run using transaction code AFAB for the period 001/2011. When I go to Asset Explorer AW01N under the posted values tab I am seeing depreciation posted for the period 01 for the year 2011.
Therefore, I do not understand why the system will still issue a message execute a depreciation posting run.
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Niketa

Hi Bernhard,
Thanks for replying.
I checked both the SAP notes you recommended and other SAP notes that relate to asset revaluation and still was not able to find any one that matched my problem.
Is there anything else you will be able to suggest ?

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 !

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...

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.

Pankaj A Bhalerao.
