Assets - Calculation Methods / Period Control Methods

[RicardoLora]

Hello SAP

In our experience, for instance, the Period Control assigned to the Depreciation Key "LINS" is set 06, 06, 02, 06, 06, 01, 06 - according to standard - in Private S/4HANA we are able to create a "ZLINS" using Period Control necessary according to the customer's needs.

We know that we can use SSCUI 102712 where we should be able to make changes and get the desired outcome without having to create new Depreciation Key or Period Control Method, but, is this the right way to go?

As we understand, we have noted that changes/new Depreciation Keys is not open for customers, as is the case with the Period Control Method. 

One more direct example: If LINS is used today, Oct.2024, on a Asset related depreciation operation, the depreciation would start on Jan.2024 all the way to Oct.2024 - not starting from Oct.2024.

So, direct question would be: go with SSCUI 102712 or is there another way?

Hi,

Using  SSCUI 102712 is not a good idea at all, meanwhile you can have custom depreciations keys created but still with some limitation, details see here: Roadmap Viewer on Configuration activities.
