Use OAGL in Production to clear posted depreciation

Is it possible to use OAGL in production to clear all posted depreciation?
If No, can anyone tell me why?
Thank you.

My client had asset revaluation (reduction in asset value) in Dec. 2009. Because of lack of resource at that time, they carried out this revaluation in strange way.
They didnu2019t use standard SAP transaction for revaluation but created two Depreciation and Accumulated depreciation (Non Reconciliation) accounts and adjusted P&L by passing manual adjustment entries for Assets. They kept passing manual entries for following months.
Now they want to get rid of those accounts they created and manual entries they posted. Also want to carry out revaluation with standard transaction in Dec.09 by opening books.
To do that, I need to reverse the posted depreciation for Jan and Feb. and post revaluation. After that I need to carry out correct depreciation for Jan and Feb.
Here is my action plan.
1.Use OAGL to clear posted depreciation.
2. Then Turn off Reconciliation flags and adjust GL account balance manually.
3. Put Reconciliation flags on and carry out normal depreciation for months before Dec 09.
4. Post revaluation entry and carry out depreciation for DEC, JAN and FEB.
This has solved my problem in test system, as Client is interested in overall P&L from the audit point. By this way I see that my FI and AA also reconciles.
I donu2019t see any solution other than OAGL.
Please let me know if any transaction available to deal with this situation. Your valuable inputs are appreciated.
Thank you.

Not able to post depreciation in the new co code

Hi
I am trying to post the Depreciation using AFAB into a newly created Co Code for the first time. But the system throws the below error asking me to post to the last month of the previous year.
You can only post in new year after closing the previous year.
Message no. AA687

You want to post in a new fiscal year. However, a posting must have been made in the last period in the previous fiscal year before you can do this.
Procedure
Post to the last period in the previous year first.
But this is a new co code which goes life in the middle of the current year. Then why is it asking to post the depreciation for the last month of the previous year.
Also, I have closed the last year in asset accounting without any issues using AJAB. But still why is it showing this error. Please help me how to overcome this error and post the depreciation for the first time in the new co code.
Thanks

Hello All,
My Fiscal Year is from November to October. My transfer date is 31 Oct 2013. Oct is my last period (Period 12) for FY 2013.
I have uploaded legacy Asset values in the month of Febraury (Period 4 of FY 2014) and now trying to run the depreciation run in the new co code for the first time. But I am facing the error and system is not allowing me to post the depreciation.
When I opended the Asset year 2013 and the FI Period for 2013 also and tried to post the depreciation but it says no values exist for posting depreciation in that period. Then I closed the Asset Year for 2013 using AJAB and also did the asset value transfers to the new year 2014 using AJRW.
Again tried to post depreciation using AFAB in period 1 of 2014 but no use. It gives the same error :
You can only post in new year after closing the previous year.

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.

Re:Query for no.of days delayed using Receipt from production posting date.

Dear SAP Experts,
I need a query to calculate no of days delayed by using Receipt from production posting date and prod.order due date..i have already done the query but there is no link for joining the tables.Is there any link to join the tables..
Plz Suggest a good query for this issue..
With Regards,
Revathy

Dear Revathy,
I think there is no need to link table if you just need calculate no of days delayed by using Receipt from production posting date and prod.order due date.
You may check this query with the above:
SELECT T0.ItemCode,T0.DueDate,
T0.DocNum, T0.CloseDate,
Datediff(dd,t0.DueDate,T0.CloseDate) Diff
FROM dbo.OWOR T0
WHERE Datediff(dd,t0.DueDate,T0.CloseDate) > 0

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

How to reverse the posted depreciation for a particular period..?

Hi Experts,
Please solve my problem, that my client users are changed the depreciation key in last month as per legal requirement. While changing the depreciation key they select the wrong depreciation key and run the depreciation in AFAB. But after running the depreciation they came to know that amount is wrong because of the wrong depreciation key. So now they want reverse the entry for last month only and post the new entry with changed depreciation key.
Please give me advise how to reverse depreciation for only Last month. That should effect the all previous posting.
Regards
Narendra

Hi,
Depreciation Posted of only of the Previous Fiscal years
can be reversed using ABZU Write-Up.
ABZU -->Reverse the Past
Dep. For current depreciation reversal you have no alternative except reversing
co code depreciation document posted using OAGL and then repost it.

Manual depreciation and Planned but not posted depreciation forwarded

HI Expert,
We would like to request for Product Enhancement for Fixed Asset Module due to the inconsistency in the computation for the following:
u2022 The planned and un-posted depreciation is already considered as confirm transaction when they compute for the accumulated depreciation to be forwarded next year (as well as net book value beg for next year)
u2022 But as for the no of months (remaining life) u2013 it will only consider the no of posted months when they compute for remaining life of the asset
The current feature of SAP affecting our enhancement request is as follows
1) Manual depreciation is currently validates manual depreciation based on Planned depreciation instead of Posted depreciation
2) Remaining life computation for next year depreciation is based on posted transaction only
3) When user wants to fully depreciate the asset, we cannot post depreciation based on remaining un-posted depreciation using manual depreciation
Based on this feature we want to request for the following enhancement
1) For the remaining un-posted depreciation (especially if the previous year is already close), we should be able to choose which month we want to post the un-posted depreciation
2) Since the remaining life computation is based on posted depreciation only, 1) the validation and 2) the net book value forwarded next year should also be based on posted depreciation
We have a sample computation based on current feature VS the suggested computation for SAP. Is there any way for us to import the file here at the forum? We will wait for your advice
Regards,
Amy

Dear Kyriakos,
is this prior year closed in FI-AA already? If so, how were you able to close this fiscal year? This should be found as error by the fiscal year close report.
If the prior fiscal year is not closed, then you can either change the depreciation key to a non-calculating one (e.g. 0000) or set a shutdown indicator for the complete fiscal year. This should reduce the planned depreciation to zero. No posting or G/L entry is necessary therefor.
If the prior fiscal year should be already closed in FI-AA (still I would be wondering how you did that), you could use the solution provided in [SAP Note 29694|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/29694].
Hope this helps,
Markus

Automatic clearing & post with clearing

what is between Automatic clearing & post with clearing?

Autoclaring is done by SAP using some predefined parameters through f-13 when there are open items (Dr as well as Cr, balancing to Zero). This can be done for, GRIR Accounts, Vendors accounts, Customer accounts etc.
Post with clear is used for manual transaction where you have one open entry and you have to pass the second compensating entry to make the effect of existing enty zero.

Unable to Post Depreciation AFAB

Dear All,
While posting depreciation for the current period am getting the following error:
Last posting run terminated (Restart in period 2009 010)
    Message no. AA730
Diagnosis
    The last posting run in period 010 2009 was terminated by an error.
    Before any more posting runs are performed, you must restart the posting
    run for period 010 2009.
System response
What to do
    Start the posting run for period 010 2009 again using the restart
    parameter.
So when trying to restart in period 10, am getting the following error message:
Document posted in restart
    Message no. AA727
Diagnosis
    In the last posting run, processing was interrupted and no session for
    automatic entry was created in the FI System. Nevertheless, documents
    exist in the FI System, which should have actually been created in the
    restart. Further processing is therefore not possible.
System response
What to do
    Contact your Systems Specialist to explain the error.
Please advice as it is affecting our closure process.

Unable to post depreciation- Error AA730

Hi all,
When I am trying to post depreciation for the month 08/2010, I got an error message saying that:
The last posting run in period 007 2010 was terminated by an error. Before any more posting runs are performed, you must restart the posting run for period 007 2010.
Start the posting run for period 007 2010 again using the restart parameter.
Then I tried to run the depreciation for period 7 with the 'Re-start' option, but the period 7 is closed.
Is there a way to catup the depreciation in period 8 with out opeing the period 7 .
Any help on this is appreciated.
Thanks,
Vijayanth

That means, one has to do reversal using ABF1 and then again make correct posting using the same.. I got it right? YES, the second is with refference to the depreciation posting.
You said in your earlier reply use it in period 008 with some options ticked.. Why in this case it needs to be used in Period 008 when the issue pertains to 007?
The depreciation will be posted in period 7 but 7 is closed (you have first to open period 7 and complete the depreciation run for peiod 7).
The reversal is posted in period 07. Thus the values change in period 7 is 0,00 You post again with reference in period 8
It is not the perfect solution but you don't change total ammounts in period 7.

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

How to post depreciation to different depreciation areas

Hi,
Can any body explain how to post depreciation to different dep areas other than 01 book dep,
and how to take the reports according GAAP and IAS.
Regards,
prasad

Hi,
When you create depreciation areas like Book, Tax, Costing etc., the system posts values like APC and Depreciation simultaneously in all the areas. You don't need to do any thing.
Just posting values through F-90, F-92, etc and for Depreciation AFABN.
This above holds good as long as you are posting to a single ledger.
The above answer is slightly different in case you are having parallel ledgers. Let me explain by taking an example.
Lets assume you are implementing for an Indian client whose parent compnay is in Dutch.
As per Indian GAAP you need to submit the local reporting on April to March basis and for Ducth Jan - Dec.
Assets in Indian GAAP are capitalised with values including frieght, Installation and trial run till Commencement date lets say @ 20%
Assets in Ducth GAAP are capitalised with only Cost, Frieght & Insurance (This is only an example) and the depreciation rate is 15%.
In this scenario you will be creating two ledgers(IN SAP sense and not the accounting GLs) with different fiscal year variants and will be defining Leding ledger and Non leading ledgers and Ledger Groups.
IN this case lets assueme Indian GAAP is Leading ledger and Dutch GAAP is Non Leading ledger and a ledger Group lets say "LG"
When you post using the transation code FB01L you will be using ledgers or ledger groups that are effecting with this transaction.
If you use the regular T codes without using the Ledger Groups, System posts the transaction to all ledgers simultaneously.
When You want to post the transaction as I said in the above example, you will be using FB01L like capitalising total cost in "LeadingLedger" and upto CIF value to "Non leading ledger"
NOw from the configuration front you will be creating seperate set of Depreciation keys for each GAAP and will be creating a depereciation area for Dutch GAAP.
You will also need to create a derived depreciation area which is the difference of Book Dep Area (as per Leading Ledger) and teh Duthc GAAP depreciation area (Non leading ledger). You can use the Wizard here which will guide you.
For Book depreciation are its always realtime posting and for other areas its periodic posting. i.e. as a monthend process you need to do,
For this you need to run TCODE ASKBN (Periodical posting ) anad AFABN.
ASKBN checks for the difference in APCs, Depreciations, Loss or gain on account of retirements differently for diffrent depreciation areas and posts the values.
When it comes to reporting all Standard reports will give you the flexibility of taking the reports based on Depreciation areas.
You have a TCODE "OARP" where in you will get all the asset related transaction reports.
The above scenerio is explained with an assumption of you using SAP Version above 4.7EE.
Reward if you find this explanation useful.

Posted Depreciation

Hi Gurus,
We have run depreciation posting run in AFAB for the month of August. Unfortunately, we forgot that there is one asset that should be retired this August. That asset was included when we run AFAB.
Is there any way where we can reverse the posted depreciation for that asset and then retire that asset after the reversal?
Thanks,
Ellicec

Hi,
You don`t need to reverse depreciation. You can control the accumulated depreciaiton value being retired, by the "Asset Value Date" that you use during asset retirement. Thus, depending on your Period Control method, you could enter 01.08.2011 as "Asset Value Date" in ABAVN (Asset Retirement). When you run AFAB in repeat run for August again after retirement, the system would adjust the previously posted depreciation.
Hope this helps!

Severina

Posted Depreciation Reports

Hi guys!
I was just wondering if there were any reports like S_ALR_87012064 and S_ALR_87012004 that would display the posted depreciation and not planned depreciation? Our client likes the afforementioned report formats since it has more fields available for display (such as APC, acquisition costs, etc.) I saw one report which displays posted depreciation - S_P99_41000192, unfortunately though, the report can only display fields connected with depreciation (no acquisition data etc.)
Any help, comments and suggestions are all welcome.
Best Regards!

Hi Patrick,
Check the report, S_ALR_87011990 - Asset History Sheet.
Make sure you check the indicator, Depreciation posted before execute the report.
Also you can use any other asset balances report with Current book value box checked.

Inoka.
