You will need to submit an influence request, see KBA 2963059 - How to Submit Feature Requests for SAP S/4HANA Cloud Product, the support team can't add keys and as detailed by the help link Gnanasekaran R already provided, which notes "You cannot create any new depreciation keys and you can also not change any existing depreciation keys."

Thanks

Mark

As of 05/2025 - Per Notes 2587054, 3362553, 3502413, and 3326552 a standard solution to the applying special bonus depreciation retroactively if your fiscal vs. calendar years are different is not supported by SAP S4 HANA.  If your fiscal vs. calendar year is the same, the steps provided in these notes may work for your situation.

These notes provide a sequence of steps for workarounds with risks and possibilities of changing closed years values that should remain constant, and disclaimers that the use of these steps is at the company’s risk and that the results should be validated and adjusted by your company and/or SAP consultants to meet requirements.

Disclaimers:

“If your fiscal year differs from the calendar year, you must adjust the multilevel method so that the percentages and the tax year match.”

“This SAP Note provides only the technical possibility of how to achieve an immediate tax writeoff using a depreciation key. The tax aspects and accounting aspects must be clarified in your company.”

“If you call the program, you must first confirm that you have read and understood this SAP Note. Therefore, go through this SAP Note with your consultant…”

3502413 - Paradoxical situation because depreciation start date in past closed fiscal year
