Urgent:Restart the Depreciation posting Period

Hi,
We are having a problem. We are working on 4.7 version using the depreciation program RAPOST2000. The user executed the depreciation run for the period 01.2008 . The was not successful, subsequently they closed the periods and opened the 02.2008 period.Now the user is trying to execute the depreciation program for the period 02.2008, and they got the error " Restrat the last terminated program".
   I suggested the business to open the period to process the posting in period 01.2008. Business is reluctant to open the period , which will effect their business.
   Can any one suggest me a way , so that without opening period , how to do the unposted amounts in the current period i.e. 02.2008.
   There is no batch input session created for the depreciation runs.
   Please advise me how to go about it. Many thanks in advance
Thanks

Hi
If the business is not interested to reopen the peiod then u run the dep with unplanned posting run then.
I hope it will suffice ur requirement.

Re-open the Previous posting period

hi...
we have closed the posting period for the month of 01-02(april-may) and open the 03-04(june-july)...
but now we want to open the previous posting period i.e. 01-02(april-may) again...so how could we do this..
one solution i have got is that...
1. go to OX18 delete all the assignment for that company code and plant.
2. go to OMSY and change the posting period..
3. go to OX18 and reassign the plant and company code again...
this is the right method to do that..?
will there be any -ive implications if I open the previous period by this procedure..?
or suggest me some other way to do that...
Thanks in advance

Hi
You can open Closed MM periods but be careful because SAP does recommend opening closed MM periods.
Steps are :
1) Tcode MMPI --from Tool Bar select - System - User Profile - Own Data - In parameter Tab Enter "MMPI_READ_NOTE" in parameter Field.
Try to remove assignment of plants from company code.
Now Go to -
T-Code OMSY & Set the required Period.
Re-assign Plants to Company Code & Check whether correct preriod is open thru T-Code - MMRV
Now use T-code - OMWD to Assign Valuation grouping code to Valuation area because the earlier data gets deleted when assignment of Plants was removed.
Use the transaction code OMS2 then select FERT (or any other Material Type used by your company)
Then click on the quantity and value update.
Select your plant or valuation area and put Tick Marks in Value update and Quantity update
Even check this link...Reopening the posting period that was closed
This will definitely reslove your problem.
Thanking you.

How to activate the option posting period for T.code F.2E

HI All,
When we execute T.code F.2E the selection parameters available are
1. company code
2. partner company code
3. open at key date
4. display currency.
As the program documentation says we can reconcilie by selecting option for posting period in F.2E
Below is the SAP documentation on the program.
You use the Posting period selection option to specify the time period in which the posting dates of the documents need to fall in order to be included by the program. Open items, cleared items, and payment documents are all selected. See the section Parameter Open for key date and Selection Option Posting period for further information. If you want to start the program with this date selection, the option must be selected accordingly.
But the field for posting period is not available in selection parmeter, we are on 4.7 EE version.
Please let me know how to activate the option for posting period in selection parameters for T.code F.2E
Thanks in advace.

Raj.

Re open the closed Posting Periods - Very Urgent

Dear Experts,
We have an urgent problem to solve.The company code currently we are configuring uses fiscal year (oct - Sept) and the other company codes in our client site uses (jan -Dec). So by mistake we closed posting periods using MMPV upto 2007 03 but it should be 2006 06(correct me if i am wrong).
As we are still in baseline configuration we don't have any material document in the current company code. From this forum I got some solution to intialize the posting period using MMPI(which directed me to use SAP Note 487381).
Now if I do MMPI with the directions mentioned in SAP Note 487381, will i face any problem now & in future.
Please suggest me and help me as has become hurdle for the test process.
Thanks in Advance...
Nagesh Aswartha

Hi Aswartha
As you do not have any material documents , pl go ahead and initialize the periods. Should not be a problem.
I normally do this to avoid errors:
In MMPV, never give a period. Enter the current date(or first date of the month) in the date field and execute closing program.
Best regards

Depreciation posting period error

Hi Gurus,
The problem is that I was running the depreciation for October(AFAB) and when I was trying to post(SM35) it I've got an error due to the fact that the period was not open.After the period has been opened,the depreciation was posted automatically,but it seems that only partial.This is the reason for why I'm not able to run the depreciation for November.Can I cancel this batch,so I could post again correctly the depreciation for October and I will continue with November and December,is ther any way to proceed.
Regards
jana

Dear,
Janardhan.
First of all check the posting log for company code and fiscal year. And try to run the depreciation run again in Restart Mode if it is interrupted because of unusual reasons.
Run the depreciation in background with program RAPOST2000 and check the same in SM37.
*Please confirm your depreciation amounts through AFBP.
Please revert for further clarification.

Depreciation posting period

We have gone live recently and our last period for posted depreciation from legacy was 10. The posting cycle is monthly for all depreciation areas.
But while trying to run AFAB for november system gives message as According to posting cycle, you should post period 012 next. There is no log maintained in AFBP. It is allowing for period 12.

Hi Mahesh,
When SAP has gone live?
IF SAP gone live on November then we can post november month depreciation.
But if it goes live on December month than not possible to post November month deprecition.
Thanks

How to accelerate the depreciation posting for the desired usefull life

Hi,
we are having issues in accelerating the depreciation on some assets, we want these assets to depreciated based on the revised usefull life
For example: if the asset CAP date is 01/01/2009 with usefull life 3 years
we change the useful life on assets from 3 years to 2.5 years (As we want this asset to fully depreciate in May 2011), how can we do with out using ABAA. these assets should be fully depreciated on the desired period as mentioned above.
We don't have smoothing turned on, but system is not calculating correctly, either it is fully depreciating the total amount earlier or later than expected period.
any help is truely appreciated.
Thanks
Smitha

Hi Ajay,
Thanks a lot for your response!
We just went live in Sept 2010 and our company doesn't want to go for unplanned depreciation option/ transfering the assets,
as in the legacy system they were able to enter the remaining usefull life on the asset and the assets were depreciating as intented.
we have given the above options but they were requesting for some other ideas.
what is the use of expaired usefull life in asset master record, we were changing the expired usefull life but it is not at all effecting the depreciation calculation.
Please advice
Thanks
Smitha

Posting period of "Depreciation Posting Run" problem

Hi all,
I was configured my company code with 12 period of nomal fiscal year (defauld fiscal year variant K4). I think Posting period field of Depreciation Posting Run screen (T-code: AFAB) must have 12 posible entries, are 1,2,3,...,11,12. But when I display posible entries of this filed, it only have to posible entries (000-000, 000-365). So that, I can't choose a period to excute real depreciation run.
How to define posible entries 1,2,3,..,11,12 of posting period field of Depreciation posting run screen?
Chinhvh

Hi,
If I have understood your question correctly
When u do F4 in field "Posting Period" in AFAB you get the following screen:
From            To
000               000
000               365
You don't do F4 in that field. Since your Posting Period Variant is K4, just manual input the relevant posting period in the field. i.e if you want to post depreciation for April then just input Period 4 in the field.
Now what you have to be careful is which depreciation method you are going to select for doing the Posing Run. (i.e the Reason for Posting Run fields)
You have 4 methods which is described below:
1. Planned Posting Run. (This should be done if all the depreciation upto the earlier posting period has been done properly under the planned posting run).
If you have done unplanned run for earlier periods and have never done a planned posting run for the earlier periods for the concerned asset, then you cannot do planned posting run for period 4 directly. You should first do planned posting for period 1, then for period 2, then for period 3, and then finally for period 4. The depreciation will be zero for Posting periods 1,2,3 if your start depn in your asset master is 1st April.
2. Repeat Run: You can use this to do repeat run. You can do Planned depreciation run only once for a particular asset for a particular period. You can then do a repeat run for doing the depreciation run for the same asset.
3.I don't think you wll need to do Restart run.
4. You can do unplanned depreciation run directly for period 4, if you have not done the depreciation run for the particular asset for the earlier period. but this is not recommended. This should be done only in specific circumstances when you have no chance of doing either planned depn run or repeat run.
Pl assign points.

Change in Useful life of asset in mid year, but the previous posted depreciation should not be changed

Dear Experts,
I have a requirement in one of my client, We need to extend the useful life of asset in mid of an asset fiscal year and the depreciation which was posted in the previous should not be changed.
Requirement:
Useful life of asset is to be extended after completing depreciation for 4 years and in-between the current asset fiscal year. Provided the present asset value has to be taken as the new book value of the asset and the depreciation posted henceforth to be posted based on the new asset value till the remaining useful life.
Previously posted depreciation should be unchanged.
Analysis:
1.      The fiscal Year followed - October to September.
2.      The useful life of asset will be changed, and the depreciated value posted till 31/mar 2014 will have the old depreciation value ( based on the original acquisition value)
3.      The Depreciation key used in of type LINR (linear), depreciation value will be calculated based on the Book value till the asset value becomes ZERO at the end of useful life of the asset.
4.      We can change the useful life of the asset at the end of a Asset fiscal year say FY- 2014, if this is done the existing configuration will take the Book value of the asset at the end of the Fiscal as the asset value and the new depreciation will be calculated based on the new useful life of the asset. The asset value will become ZERO at the end of the newly changed Useful Life.
5.      But the requirement is that the useful life of the asset will be changed exactly half way in between existing Asset fiscal (i.e., 31/03/2014), if this is done system will change the depreciation value based on the new useful life ( since the Dep Key is LINR), but the depreciation value will change from the fiscal start say October 2013 to September 2014 ), which will not satisfy the requirement of the client. Since the depreciation which is already posted from October 2013 to March 2014 should not be changed.
Note:
1. We are not willing to retire the asset and create a new asset with the remaining book value as asset value and start depreciation.
Kindly let me know if the requirement can be fulfilled without retiring the asset.

Dear All,
This requirement has been completed.
1. I created New Multi level valuation method with base 26 ( Net book value w/o Revaluation ).
2. New depreciation key was created and the above method was assigned to it. I never changed the Base method.
3. new interval was created in the depreciation area, with this created dep key and extended the useful life of the asset. The depreciation was calculated according to the requirement.
Originally the asset had useful life of 5 Years, I changed the asset useful life to 8 years now with new Depreciation key 2001.
Depreciation was already posted to the asset till 04- 2013 for an amount of 148.27 SAR.
Net Book value carried forward to 2013 = 1575.56 SAR
Depreciation already posted till 4th period =   148.27 SAR
Current Net book value after useful life extension           = 1427.29 SAR .
Now the new depreciation key 2001 with Multilevel method 201, will take this Net-book value as Asset value and will depreciate along the useful life of the asset till it becomes zero.
Planned depreciation of 2013 ( remaining 6 months) = 166.24 SAR
Planned depreciation of 2014 = 225.96 SAR
Planned depreciation of 2015 = 225.96 SAR
Planned depreciation of 2016 = 225.96 SAR
Planned depreciation of 2017 = 225.96 SAR
Planned depreciation of 2018 = 225.96 SAR
Planned depreciation of 2019 = 131.25 SAR
Total      = 1427.29 SAR ( the Asset value becomes zero at the end of its remaining useful life.
The previously posted depreciation from 01.01.2013 to 30.04.2013 was untouched.

Posting period problem (very urgent)

Hi all,
I want to open a last posting period for particular user which i have handled through authorization group but at the same time i want to open a some G/L codes for other users.Please confirm is it possible to do both the things at the same time.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Manisha

Hello Madhu
I have tried to restrict certain G/L account group through Authorization group in OB52 but the system do not allow to post the document even in that G/L account group range and prompts the message that "posting period is closed". Actually it is clearly written in the help that authorization group can only work with '' in Account Type field. However, '' means all G/L account group not the restricted / specified range.
Now how can I restrict certain users to post within certain G/L account group range in the previous posting period?? I hope you have understood my question.
Urgent response is required.
Thanks in advance.

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.
Cheers
Mukta
