Unwinding previous depreciation amounts for an asset

Hi,
We have an asset that is getting depreciated for the past few months. But now we realized that the asset should never have gotten depreciated and we unchecked the depreciation box. Is there a way to unwind all the previous depreciation amounts.
Thanks

Hello.
It does not make sense to enter depreciation for an already closed fiscal period so the deorecaition override will affect the currently open fiscal period.
If you want to completely cancel all the depreciation calculated for a certain asset you shoul enter a -ve amount, equal to the depreciation reserve, in the currently open period.After running depreciation you'll need to uncheck Depreciate flag.

After AFAB, I've changed depreciation key for an asset from 20% to 0%

Hi All,
I've posted depreciation (AFAB) for periods from 01 to 04 (Depreciation Area 20).
Later I've changed the depreciation key for an asset from 20% to 0%.
In my test SAP allows me to update depreciation data only in the period 05 (for previous data).
Is there the way to repete the depreciation posted in the periods from 01 to 04!
Cluo d anyone help me??
Thanks

Rossi,
Since you have already posted the depreciation for the periods 01 to 04, the system assumes that there are no postings pending for those periods and hence shows the recalculated depreciation in period 05. But you can do the repeat depreciation run using AFAB transaction code. You can try them for period 04 and the entire depreciation posted till 04 will get charged in Period 04 itself.

After 2 years want to change depreciation key for a asset

Hi,
For a particular asset we want to change depreciation key for this asset already we have posted depreciation for 2 years. After 2 years user realizes they are using wrong depreciation key now they want to change depreciation key for a particular asset. In new financial year till now they have not posted depreciation .I just want to now what is the impact of this changes how we will adjust the value in future because previously they are calculating depreciation 1.63% now they want to calculate depreciation 3.33 % can any one tell me about the future impact of asset.
How we will adjust the value?
Thanks and Regards,
Neha

Hi,
Does your user wants to post the depreciation for closed Fiscal years?
If yes First calculate unplanned depreciation for the difference up to the last closed fiscal year and post in the current year.
Now after posting this then change the depreciation key in the asset master and in the next run the system identifies the difference between posted value with the old Key and teh correct key and adjusts the difference in the current period depreciation run.
If the user don't want to post the values of the previous years, change the key in asset master so that the difference in the depreciation from the start of the fiscal year is adjusted in the current period.
Future impact if the option is second the asset life will be more when compared to the actual life. In first case there is no effect.
Provide Business with these two solutions and they have to choose between the options.
Reward points if useful.

Calculate Depreciation Forecast for Fixed asset

Dear all expert,
I'm new to ASO, would like to know if there's a way to do depreciation forcast for fixed asset in Essbase.
1. Database type is ASO
2. Assuming user will prepare forecast caplitialization of fixed asset then upload to Essbase
3. Attribute dimension "Useful life" has been defined and attached to specific "Accounts" dimension for calcluation
4. Need to calculate the forecast and spread of depreciation for future months
E.g. Input 32000 USD for a fixed asset cost with 32 months useful life
-> should calculate 1000 each month for the coming 32 months
Can any expert suggest how to do this in ASO? meaning only can do calculation in member formula itself, not calculation script.
Thanks for your help in advance,
Billy

I haven't used the feature, but the reference to 'local script_file' in the MaxL railroad diagram for the 'execute calculation' command suggests the location is relative to the client, if the semantics are consistent with the 'export data' command (the options for report scripts there are 'server' or 'local', although according to the railroad diagram there is no non-local alternative in this case!).
There is a worked example in a Rittman Mead blog post about this that might help: http://www.rittmanmead.com/2010/04/oracle-epm-11-1-2-essbase-calculations-on-aso-cubes-part-2-maxl-scripts-and-eas/
The DBAG also says that the script files should have suffix .csc, while the Tech Ref example has suffix .txt - helpful!! If they were actually meant to sit in the server's db directory, I would be surprised to find the .csc suffix used, since that is also the suffix for aggregation scripts. Although me being surprised doesn't mean much.

Post revaluation to selected depreciation area for an asset

Hi,
We are using depreciation area '01' for posting to GL accounts and '02' for fiscal reporting. It turned out that couple of assets had wrong depreciation key specified for depreciation area '02', which resulted in wrong depreciation calculated for '02' in last 3 years.
We would like to correct it now, once we discovered this issue. One of the ideas was to create new revaluation transaction type which is active only for depreciation area '02', which will only change value of asset in that particuaral area without affecting correct '01',
However, after configuring new transaction type in AO84 and assigning it to '02' depreciation area in OAXJ, when I tried to run ABAW for this asset - it gave me error AA 380.
+Inconsistency between the specifications for transaction type Z11 and for the depreciation areas in chart of depreciation PTI.
Depreciation area 02 is defined (in Customizing), so that it is required to take over values from area 01. However, one of these ares cannot be posted to, due to the specifications in transaction type Z11. This combination is not allowed.+
Is it possible to configure postings only to one depreciaton area? If not - is there any other easy way of revaluating only one depreciation area for an asset.
Thank you,
Karol

Hi Blaz,
Thank you for your reply. I am trying to increase the value of the asset in depreciation area 02, because due to wrong depreciation key it got fully depreciated last year in 02. I want to add the value to 02 which should have not been depreciated in last 2 years. Is there a way to increase its value using ABAA?
Thank you,
Karol

Issue on migration of tax depreciation balances for group assets

Dear Experts,
My client is using group assets for tax depreciation report India.
The SAP implementation was done in 2006 during the data migration the
client was not clear of the values both individual asset wise and
group asset wise to migrate to tax depreciation area. So the tax
depreciation for some of the assets are migrated with some
(non caluclated) value.
Now the client want to see the tax depreciation group asset wise or if
possible individual asset wise.For this the group asset need to be
created and assigned to each individual asset in the asset master
record.
The fiscal year variant is v3, april to march with 4 quaters June,
Sep, Dec, Mar.
Now when the data migration for the current year come into picture
I can use AS81/AS82 for loading current year opening balance and
accumulated depreciation for all the group of assets as a whole. Or
I can use AS91/AS92 to load balances into tax depreciation of
each asset individually. But I am not sure whether this is correct.
And also what to do with the previous years balances. I am very
confused. Somebody suggest good solution.
When I create a legacy asset or group asset in AS91 and AS81
respectively the fields in the Takeover values screen are grayed
out and do not allow mw to input values. But I am able to enter
values by clicking the button Transactions in the Takeover values
screen and able to enter a value date , transacton type and amount
for tax depreciation area. Here again I am not convinced using 100
transaction type for current year opening balance. I used
transaction type 652(Unplanned tax depreciation on current year
acquisition) for accumulated current year dpereciation upto second
quarter septemeber 2008.
In asset explorer under "Planned values" tab the opening balance
must be visible under Fiscal year start column but it is displayed
under change column as I entered values for tax depreciation area
in AS81 in Transaction screen with asset value date as 01.04.2008
transaction type 100 and amount as xxxxxx and value date 30.09.2008
652 xxxxxxxx.
Need expert guidance on this

Problem with depreciation posting for an asset with a '0' net book value.

Hi,
I have a problem with depreciation posting on one asset. I think it should not be calculated and posted at all.
On 1st November 2010 (our Fiscal year starts on 1st November) there was acquisition posted to an asset and then it was reversed on the same day - so the net book value was '0'.
In AFAB depreciation run for April 2011 - it posted depreciatoion of 0.01 Euro, so now the book value is -0.01.
Do you know how this could have happened and what can I do to get the value of this asset back to 0?
Thank you,
Karol

Hi Murlidhar,
Thank you for your reply.
I just have one doubt - as depreciation of 0.01 Eur was posted in previous period leaving net value of asset equal to -0.01 Eur.
Shouldn't I get ritd of this asset value before I proceed with the steps you suggested?
I think it is not possible to reverse the depreciation - so I struggle to find a way to bring asset value back to zero.
Thank you,
Karol

How to repeat depreciation run for fixed assets

Dear Sir(s),
we are on SAP B PL03. We would like to re-run depreciation for some fixed assets to correct a previous depreciation run which was executed by mistake. The depreciation was posted to the GL accounts.
We are not able to get this option of re-running the depreciation even after changing the depreciation types of these fixed assets in the fixed asset master data. The depreciation run screen just displays a list of all previous depreciation runs.
Asif

Hi Asif,
The last depreciation you have run showing you in depreciation window,that depreciation you executed by mistake van remove by right click on that depreciation row and remove that row. Doing this your financial posting will be reverse then you can execute depreciation for the same period.
Thanks

Depreciation freeze for some asset for some months.

Hi
assets have been capitalized on 01.01.2012 and depreciation has been run for 1 and 2 month now the cleint requirement is that, they want to stop depreciation for some assets up to April and calculate the depreciation again from 01/05/2012. Please suggest what should we customize for this issue.
Your feedback would be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Danish
Edited by: danish01 on Mar 7, 2012 9:07 AM

Hi Danish,
One possibility is to use Shut Down feature.. and the other is using a depreciation key 0000, which is a time dependent depreciation feature and is available only from ECC 6.0 EHP4 onwards..
Before EHP4, if u use depreciation Key 0000, system reverses the entire epreciation posted in that year in that particular month, but from EHP4 onwards, system does not reverse if you use 0000 depreciation key, but only posts Zero depreciation for those months when you have applied 0000, As soon as you restore your original depreciation keys, it will again post normally..
Hope this helps..
