Useful Life in Dep Key "to the day"

Hi,
we have two depreciation areas one for IN gaap and the other for US GAAP. In GAAP has depreciation keys with "to the day" feature and the US GAAP has depreciation keys created with useful life feature.
Now the issue is since useful life has got no role in the case of IN GAAP, whenever we create asset we press enter enter and the same usefule life as per US GAAP get copied in the US GAAP also as it has no relevance for calculation.
The problem is that if i enter only period 1 as useful life for US GAAP( meaning that the asset is to be fully depreciated in one month for US GAAP purpose) and the same period 1 is entered in IN GAAP. then for IN GAAP my full asset is getting depreciated in 6 months wheras the depreciation key assigned to it is 13,91 wdv method( with to the day tick).
I changed the period 1 and made it 999 for IN GAAP purpose and tested it in test system and then system is showing correct values.
Can anyone throw some light on this issue as to why it is changing in case of useful life when the dep to the day is ticked in depreciation key.
Regards,
SAPFICO

What application do you use for extra/multimedia keys on the keyboard?

Just curious on what applications there are available for all these extra keys manufacturers keep placing on keyboards, thankfully my keyboard only has a few extra and they aren't in the way. I've been using LinEAK for a while now but it doesn't seem to be maintained any more so I was wondering if there are any better alternatives.

If youre not gettign any codes, dmesg or xev, turn of the computer switch to the PS/2 port youre using USB to connect the keyboard, USB hid driver hasnt got the functionality to give those extra keys scancodes and the devs dont seem willing to do anything about it...
Follow the wiki hotkyes instructions and you cant go wrong, someone posted link to them earlier.
Not wanting to sound rude, but if you had even bothered to read the thread you would have seen that the keys are working fine with xbindkeys, it's the process of autostarting xbindkeys with openbox that doesn't work.
However, I've now started using the built in keybind function in openbox, though for some reason I can't execute mpc commands (ie: mpc stop), it just won't work. Instead I have to use Sonata (ie: sonata stop), could the reason be that mpc outputs info while Sonata does not when you use those commands?
EDIT: It wasn't, I added the --no-status switch but it still won't work with mpc.
Actually i read every post in this thread before posting, sorry if came of sounding mean (sv:elak) or something. Thought you just wanted to know what apps ppl were using to get multimedia keys to work (alot of ppl seem to be having problems with this), didnt realize that you wanted help. Maybe choose a better title if you dont want too confuse ppl like me. Again sorry:)

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.

Problem in useful life of the asset?

Hi,
I don't know what and where it is going wrong so need your suggestion please:
We have created one new asset class and trying to check dep. in testing server but system is calculated dep. with useful life as 10 years only for all the assets I have created.
In OAYZ, I have just given the dep. key and the fields of useful life and period is blank for all the dep. areas. Also, tried with useful life 5 but result is same.
In Asset Master, I have mentioned the useful life as 5 years for all the dep. area.
The problem is system is system is showing the values based on useful life of 10 years, why I don't know what shall I do please suggest....
I have checked it by creating some of other assets as well with different useful lives but the result is same.
Please help!!!
Thanks in advance....
Regards
Nitin

Hi Nitin,
If the depreciation is based on 10 years even if you have entered useful life 5 years then it means depreciation key is not configured as dep based on useful life.
It seems depreciation is based on explicit percentage which must be 10% in your case.
Check what dep key is assigned in Asset master and go to T code AFAMA, AFAMS for depreciation key settings.
If you still have doubts of how to go about it then attach screenshots of AFAMA,AFAMS.
Hope it solves.

Asset Depreciation - Depreciation to the date + Percentage from useful life

Hi Asset Accounting Experts,
I have a business requirement for depreciation as follows in depreciation calculation.
Aquisition Month    : Depreciation to the date
remaining Months   : Straight Line Depreciation - Ordinary: percentage from useful life
Retirement Month   : Depreciation To the date
Eg: Aquisition value = 12000     Useful Life 10 years i.e Depreciation per month 100
Asset Aquired in 20.01.2009 (Period 1)
Retired in 12.04.2009 (Period 4)
Depreciation should post as follows
Period 1 - 100*11/31 =   35.48
Period 2 -                      100.00
Period 3 -                      100.00
Period 4 - 100*12/30 =   40.00
I would really greatful if someone can help me on this.
Thanks in advance.
Chandimal

Hi,
You can define this in your depreciation key.
Check depreciation to day check box. System will calculate the depreciation from date of capitalization if you have define multilevel method , depreciation from capitalisation date. Also choose base method depreciation from useful life. Define life in Asset master , post the entry and check the depreciation behaviour.
Check with this system will post the depreciation as per your requirement.

Client requirement is in year 2011 asset should depreciate upto Rs 1.
Appreciate your reply.

If you want to your asset depreciation based on useful life that is 4 years, please select check box Rem.life in multi level method of that dep. key.and enter the useful life as 4 years in the assets master.
when come to restricting value to 1Re. specify the memo value for that asset class.
AA>Valuation>Amt.specification>Specify memo value.

Changing useful life of assets during asset to asset transfer

Hi All,
We need to transfer some assets to new assets changing its useful life. Below is my scenario.
Old Asset "A" has an useful life of 5 years and depreciation start date is 01.01.2006. Where this asset would be fully depreciated by the end of year 2011. The depreciation runs have been completed for November 2009.
Before using transaction ABUMN, I created a new asset "B" in a different asset class with the exact details of the old asset ONLY changing the useful life to 3 Years. (even the dep start date is 01.01.2006 - same as the old asset)
In Tcode ABUMN, I entered the old asset, doc date as 30.11.2009, posting date as 30.11.2009 and asset value date as 30.11.2009. Transfer variant 4 is been used in this case. The transaction went through successfully. The main idea behind this process was to depreciate the entire new asset "B" by the end of 2009, which should be the case as if 01.01.2006 is the dep start date with useful life of 3 years.
But this is not happenning. The entire depreciation is not been shown under plannned values for DEC 2009. Only a small value is shown. I need this asset to be fully depreciated by 31.12.2009 in variably absorbing the enire balance depreciation for the month of Dec 2009.
Please help me resolve this asap or please suggest me a different way of doing this if I am not doing it the right way.
Thanks & Regards,
Maleeq

Hi Kishore,
I need to change the asset class as well and thats why I need to to do the asset to asset transfer.

Wrong depreciation calcualtion when we change useful life of an asset

Hi,
We change the useful life of an asset during the middle of the year. The deprecaiton calculation is not effecting correctly for the remaining useful life of an asset.
We are using stright line method of depreciaion. I will appreciate if any post some tips what is wrong .
Example:
Current State:
Acquisition value: 300,000
Acquisition date: 1/1/08
Useful life: 3 years
NBV 12/31/08: 200,000
NBV 6/30/09: 150,000
New life: 2 years, starting 7/1/2009
Current methodology:
NBV at 12/31/08 divided by new remaining life as of the beginning of the year (2009) $200,000 / 12 months = $16,667
Depreciation expense in 7/31/09: $66,669 ([16,667 * 7 months = 116,669] minus depreciation at old method booked for first 6 months of 2009 [200,000/24 = 8,333 * 6 = $50,000]). $116,669 u2013 50,000 = $66,669
Monthly Depreciation expense between 8/31/09-12/31/09: $16,667 / month
Future State:
Requested methodology:
NBV at 6/30/09 divided by remaining life as of the date of the change: (150,000/6mos) $25,000
Can any one explain what is the issue

Hi,
By default, any change in depreciation parameters will recalculate depreciation from the beginning. If you want to change depreciation terms on different phases, you may need to introduce a depreciation key which changes percentage in multi-level method.

Changing useful life an asset and its impacts

Hi Gurus,
if we change the useful life of an asset, what are the steps do we follow ? do we need to post the write up first and then change the useful life ? can you detailed the steps and impacts on this change with exapmles.. pl
Venkat Rajesh Kumar

Hello Parul
Sorry but this functionality is only available as of release 6.0 if you have the
new depreciation engine activated. Note 965032 will provide you more details. In
particular section 4. c) Managing time-dependent depreciation parameters:
With the new depreciation calculation, you now have the option to
change depreciation terms during the fiscal year. This means that
the changed parameters are included in the calculation always
from the period for which the period is also valid.
The following depreciation terms can be maintained   time-dependently on the   fixed asset:
- Depreciation Keys
- Useful life
- scrap value/scrap value percentage rate
- variable depreciation portion

Asset Report - for useful life of an asset

Dear Friends,
Is there any standard report which gives the following information --
1. Asset Number,
2. Asset Name
3. Account Determination,
4. Profit Center
5. Useful Life,
6. Depreciation in the current Year
7. Accumulated Depreciation
8. Acquisition Date
I tried in Asset Balances Reports. Most of the fields are coming except Useful Life.
Can any one please suggest.
Regards
KVKR

Hi
There is no report with usefullife , either you can go with query or you can extract Asset standard report where you will find most of the details you mentioned and for usefullife please use table ANLB and extract data from this table for useful life. You may copy your asset nos extracted by the above standard Asset report and paste that in the asset field of table ANLB.
Now you can insert the useful life in your main report.
cheers

FI-AA Maximum Useful Life

Is there a way to set a maximum useful life that can be inputted in the asset master or at least a validation that the useful life cannot be higher than the defined default useful life per asset class?

Hi
In the Validation - TCODE - OACV : at the master data segment level in prerequisite give the reference of the Asset Class (ANLA-ANLKL) along with the Company Code (ANLA-BUKRS) if required (otherwise it will control all other company codes which are using the same asset class), In Depreication terms - Depreciation area (ANLB-AFABE).
Check the useful life - using the user exit chekcing the details of the default useful life from the Table - ANKB (MAXDJ -Max use ful life) give all the other reference details like Asset Class, Chart of depreciation, Depreciation, etc.,
Work with ABAPer with all the deails required.

Changing Fixed Assets useful life according IAS rules

Hi all,
According to the new IAS rules (International Accounting Standards) when an asset's useful life (currently with straight line depreciation) is changed we have to distribute the "net book value" (remaining depreciation to be posted) between all the remaining months in the same proportion.
Currently, SAP standard calculates the depreciation as the difference between the posted depreciation throughout the previous months and the amount that should have been depreciated with the new useful life, and it assigns this calculated amount in the current month when the useful life is changed.
We have checked that the remaining depreciation to be posted can be distributed equally over the remaining periods of the fiscal year by marking the "smoothing" flag through transaction OAYR per company code, but we need this amount to be distributed over all the remaining periods for the new useful life (not only over the current fiscal year).
Please find below an example to try to clarify my query:
A fixed asset with str.line depreciation has the following values:
Acquisition value: 12000 eur
Useful life: 3 years
Depreciation per year: 4000 eur.
The asset starts to depreciate on 01.01.2008 and its useful life is
changed to 2 years on 01.07.2008. On that moment the net book value is
10000 eur.
SAP adjusts the difference between the amount that should have been
depreciated with the new useful life (3.000 eur) and the real amount
posted (2.000 eur) = 1.000 eur depending on the "smoothing" flag:
1. If the flag is not marked: SAP assigns 1.500 eur (500 eur (6.000/12)
+ 1.000 eur from the difference) on 01.07.2008
2. If the flag is marked: SAP distributes the difference between the
remaining periods of the current year (from July to December) and it
assigns 666,66 eur per month (500 eur + 166,66, obtained from 1.000
eur/6 months).
But we need the same depreciation amount distributed over the remaining
months: 10.000 eur/18 months = 555,55 eur/month.
Has anyone come through the same problem before?
The only solution I can think of is transferring the asset values to a new one. Or maybe a user exit.
Any feedback will be much appreciated.
Thank you very much in advance. Best regards

Hi Markus,
Sorry to come back to you regarding this question. Unfortunately we are not still on 6.0 so we can't take advantage of the new functionality.
I am now trying to make an asset transfer through transaction ABUMN but the new asset is taking into account the capitalisation value of the original asset rather than the net book value that we would need the system to consider to calculate the new depreciation values.
Do you know if there is a way to solve this?
Thanks a lot. Best regards

Swipe the calendar through the days

Is there any way to swipe the calendar across the days?
for example, I'm on Tuesday in the calendar view, and I swipe my finger to the left and shift to Wednesdays view. or swipe back to the right and view Tuesday, then again to view Monday.
This would work the same as the photo viewer.
Then I can get really creative and pinch to zoom out to the week, then zoom out to the month, then zoom out to the year.
Just a thought.

you can with an app. I use Week Calendar and it swipes the days. If in week view you can zoom in and out too.
