Dear All,

We are doing mid-fiscal year legacy asset data transfer, when we are creating asset though lsmw (as91) while running session the Expired useful life is not picked in those asset which have capitalization date in the same year in which we are take over the value. we have manually filled the value while session is running, the asset master data have been created by but the takeover value are not updated in those asset. When i tried to update them manually through AS92 the field for Cumm acq value and accum dep has been grayed out.

Can any suggest the possible solution.

Hello,

we are posting asset acquisition against vendor with F-90 (transaction type 100). We want to input different acquisition values for Depreciation area US GAAP and depreciation area Local GAAP.

However in the screen for F-90 we do not have ability to input different values. However i have seen before in another implementation that there was the option to input different acquisition values in F-90. I cannot find any customizing to control this - so does anyone know how to fulfill the requirement to post different acquisition values into different depreciation areas from F-90?

Thanks

Kai

Hi Experts

I am working on configuring depreciation key for the first time and need your guidance.

Requirement of new dep key is as below.

a) depreciation for 1st year - 60% of the value

b) Depreciation for second year and so on - 20% each year on straight line method

Example : Cost: HKD 100,000

Depreciation for first year:

HKD 60,000 (Cost HKD100,000 X 60%)

Depreciation for second year and so forth:

HKD 8,000 (Cost HKD40,000 X 20%)

Can you please suggest  how this depreciation key can be created or any provide any document to understand this.

Hi,

Can anyone please explainthe reason why i get the error message: "AA617 Acquisition value negative in area 01" when doing asset transfer in trasnaction AIBU?

During test in Dev environment, i got this error message. I was able to resolve it by ticking the "Neg. Values Allowed" in the AUC Depreciation area.

However, when i test again in Quality system, i do not have this error. The data i have processed in Dev and Quality are replicates. The only difference is that in Dev i am posting transfer in periods already in previous fiscal year. While in Quality, the asset transfer and asset creation date are all in the current fiscal year.

Is this the reason why?

Dear Experts

I have a requirement of calculating depreciation on WDV method on remaining useful life. the scenario explains as below

The Company was original following Written Down Value Depreciation Method wherein Depreciation is calculated yearly on a pro-rata basis at a fixed percentage on the opening book value of the assets as illustrated below:

In short depreciation was calculated at every year on a fixed percentage basis on the written down value of the asset.

The Company had maintained separate depreciation keys in the system for each Asset Class (eg. Plant & Machinery, Building, Office Equipments etc.). Each Depreciation key specified the rate of depreciation to be charged.

However the New Companies Act 2013, the act has done away with the rates of depreciation. Instead the act specifies useful life of the assets class over which the asset has to be depreciated. (For example the act specifies that Non-Factory Building have to be depreciated over a period 60 years). Further in case of assets which have already been use as at 1^st April 2014 will have to be depreciated over the remaining useful life of the assets. For example,

In case of an asset which purchase on 1^st April 2011, as at 1st April 2014 the asset has already been in use for a period of 3 years. Now, if the useful life of the asset as specified by the new act is 5 years the remaining useful life of the asset as at  1^st April 2014 works out to 2 years. Thus the asset will now have to be depreciated over a period 2 years starting from 1^st April 2014.

However, since the new act does not specify the WDV rate at which the asset is to be depreciated, the implied rate of depreciation considering the remaining useful life will have to be calculated using the following Formula as attached file1

Where n =  Useful Life of the asset (Residual Value in case the asset is existing as  on 1^st April 2014.

Book Value = Written Down Value as on 1^st April 2014 or Cost of Acquisition in case of assets newly purchased during the year.

Therefore continuing our above example, suppose the useful life of asset acquired in 2011-12 specified under the new Companies Act is 15 years. Thus the remaining useful life of the asset as at 1^st April 2014 will be 12 years and residual value will be calculated @ 5% on the original cost of the asset. Therefore the implied rate of depreciation under WDV Method with remaining useful life of 12 years will be computed as attached file, file2

Thus the implied rate of depreciation would be 20.01% and the depreciation for the year 2014-15 would be calculated as follows:

Likewise, individual depreciation rates would have to be computed for all the assets outstanding on 1^st April 2014.

This can be done either by manually calculating the depreciation rate for all assets and then create separate depreciation keys for all assets. However creating so many keys would be a cumbersome process.

Can you suggest An alternative to the above process so which would automatically calculate the depreciation rates based on the useful life entered on each assets?

Kindly revert at the earliest

Thanks

Hello everybody,

I hope one of you expert can help me out. My client asked me to change our  depreciation key in order to perform a retrospective catch-up, whenever a subsequent acquisition is posted. Catch-up should occur in the same month subsequent acquisition is posted and recover all depreciation delta from the start depreciation date.

We are currently using a depreciation key which meet other business requirements and it is customized as it follows :

• base method : 007 ordinary percentage  from  life (after end of life)
• period control : 01/01/11/11
• base value : 03 replacement value(no multilevel)
• class : straight line depreciation
• multiple shift : no effect on depreciation and useful life
• base value : base value is reduced  by the scrap value amount

This key corrects planned monthly depreciation starting from subsequent acquisition date but it postpones asset depreciation end date.

We would like SAP not to postpone the depreciation end date, to recalculate planned monthly depreciation onward and to perform a catch-up of previous depreciation delta calculated from asset depreciation start date.

Is there any possible way to obtain this behaviour modifying our key paramenters ?

Any suggestion , hint will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you all in advance for your help.

Best regards,

Emiliano Leschiutta

Hi,

My system configuration for Asset depreciation is monthly depreciation. When my user ran the AFAB in test run for 2016 period 1 it is giving the error as below.

Period 001 is already posted

Message no. AAPO520

Diagnosis

You want to run the next planned run of the depreciation posting run in period 001. However, the last planned posting run was already performed for period 012.

System Response

The planned posting run cannot be performed. Processing terminates.

Procedure

You can either execute a repeat run in period 012, or a planned or unplanned run in a later period.

when I checked the TABA table entries (attached the file to see entry). As per the table, there was a update depreciation run been executed 1 time but with no documents posted.

Due to this, it is giving the same error for every month from 1 - 12 for 2016.

I know deleting TABA entry is NOT advisable. ABAA is not possible as there is no amount to be reversed.

  Please provide your suggestions. Thank you!!!

Further:

I have noticed that these depreciation entries posted only on Asset module as 12/2016 was opened on Fixed asset side but not FI (OB52).

Any thoughts how to clear this so that we could post monthly depreciation.

Hi,

Environment: Production, ECC 6.0 EHP 5. Our fiscal year starts on April, it ends in March.

I am trying to run AFAB on period MM of fiscal year YYYY. I encountered this error Message no. AA730: Last posting run terminated (Restart in period YYYY MM).

Following the message, I have already tried to run AFAB with "Restart" mode, however another error message is coming Message no. AU101: No data was found that agrees with the selection made

Been looking around in this forum for similar problem, but still no luck find the exact solution.

Appreciate if you have any suggestions solving this issue.

Thanks

Dear All,

We assigned new depreciation area 05 to the existing chart of depreciation (There are two company codes under this chart of depreciation)

In AW01N, We can see depreciation under depreciation area 05 in Company code A's assets but we can not see see depreciation under depreciation area 05 in Company code B's assets.

I checked all settings including account determination ,everything looks OK but unable to figure out  what is causing for above issue. Could someone throw light on this ?

Thanks

Hi,

We are creating a new FI company, which copy from other one from the same country, so they are going to use the same chart of depreciation. The problem is that when i am going to post an asset in the new company the following message appears:

You cannot post to asset in company code AINN fiscal year 2009

'Message no. AA347

Diagnosis

A fiscal year change has not yet been performed in Asset Accounting for company code XXX.

Procedure

Check the asset value date.'

This is because the current year of the other company in DEV is a past year (2001), so the table T093C- LGJAHR is copied to the new company with this year and then transported in the copy.

What can I do? Should I run the TS AJRW o should I change the table T093C- LGJAHR by custminzing (I cannot not find in the customizing where to change it)?

It could cause any problem?

Thanks,

Cecilia

Hi,

Can any one help me on the following?

The he Asset History Sheet (Transaction code: S_ALR_87011990) provides year to date balance per asset class and can be drilled down to individual asset level.

Is there any way I could use same report or any other reports that can provides monthly movement data instead of year to date data?

Dear Friends

Problem: Journal Entries of  Depreciation  after of  revaluation on Fixed Assets.

An Examples is given below:

Books Value as on 01/01/2010  usd 1,00,000/=

Useful Life 10 Years

Accumulated Depreciation usd   as on 31.12.2011 usd 20,000/=     

Now The assets revalue as on 01/01/2012    usd 90,000/=

What is Journal Entries as follows? i) revaluation assets and ii) Depreciation of cost and  Revaluation as on 31/01/2012 ?

So Net Book Value  or Asset at cost usd 80,000/=( 1,00,000 – 20,000)   

Incremental Value/ or Revalue  or Assets on Revaluation          usd 10,000/=( 90,000-80,000)      

Thanks and Regards

In India, there is a requirement that the Depreciation for Income Tax should be calculated based on the date of Acquisition. If an asset has been acquired before or on completion of 180 days of a Financial Year, than the calculation of Depreciation is allowed for full year. If the asset has been acquired after 180 days , depreciation is allowed only for 180 days. Hence for an asset acquired on 25/09/2009, system should allow calculation of depreciation from 01/04/2009, assuming that the fiscal year starts from 01/04/2009 and ends on 31/03/2009. However, if the asset is acquired on 07/10/2009, the system should allow depreciation from 01/10/2009. Sap has delivered standard depreciation keys for the same in reference chart of depreciation for India 0IN.

But if the asset has been acquired on 01/10/2009, still the asset has to be depreciated from 01/04/2009, since the asset has been acquired for less than 180 days into the fiscal year. The system is working fine for asset capitalized on 25/09/2009 and 07/10/2009. But we are not able to map the same if asset is capitalized on 01/10/2009 and 02/10/2009. For these two dates, the depreciation should start from 01/04/2009.

I have checked the period control setting and calender assignments and everything seems to be in place. How can we tackle the issue?

Hello!

It have basic understanding problem between Depreciation Key and Calculation Method. I'm familiar with concepts related to this as silos, but this question is about final result after assigning multiple calculation methods to 1 depreciation key.

I see there are multiple Cal. methods (For example, Baseline M, Declining Balance Method ....) are assigned to a single key. This key is assigned to depreciation areas and which has indirect effect of calculating depreciation for respective asset.

Q: My question is this depreciation key should calculate different values for respective calculation method for assigned asset. For example, for Baseline M one value and for Dec. Bal. M one value. If i'm thinking this in correct way, i don't see anything as such in Asset Explorer.

I would appreciate if some one get my understanding straight.

Thanks

Hello,

We have an asset with the capitalization date 01.06.2011 and the First acquisition date as 29.02.2012. Now the depreciation is being calculated from 29.02.2012 and not from the capitalization date 01.06.2011. Is this correct?

Can somebody please explain me the purpose of these two fields and also the difference between them.

Thanks in advance.
