Depreciation after end of planned life

[Former Member]

We have a requirement i.e. for assets that already reached their estimated useful life and not completely depreciated, to ensure that depreciation continues after end of the planned useful life.

We have dep key for straight-line method and Unit of production. In both the dep keys we want depreciation to continue after end of the planned useful life. Is it enough if I activate u201CDepreciation after end of planned lifeu201D in base method of both the dep keys.

I have a question here again, is there any possibility of depreciation after end of planned life incase of straight line depreciation. As the total value will be divided by useful life.

Please advice and let me know if there are any other configurations to be made to meet the requirement. And also is the configuration suggested to activate u201CDepreciation after end of planned lifeu201D in base method of both the dep keys the right one to meet the requirement mentioned.

Hi, how do you solve this issue? I need the answer to solve how to depreciate an asset after end useful life. I tried to change to be Yes for "Depreciation after end of planned life" in Base method but still not working. Thankyou

You are right, the indicator has to be Yes for "Depreciation after end of planned life" in Base method for this requirement.

Also, try in testing by changing class to "No Assignment" instead of Straight line method.

No other config is required for this.

Hi All, We are using S/4 HANA 2021 versions on premise and the requirement is to create a WDV/ Diminishing Balance Method depreciation key for India COD. I have created a new depreciation key with 4 parameters BASE method opt as a 'stated percentage', Declining method choose as 001, Period control as 003 and Multilevel method ('Base value- 024 & 20%)'. Now for testing purpose when I'm posting an acquisition value of 12,000 with 5 years useful life and salvage value - 0 to the asset it is calculating correctly as per the depreciation factor - 20% year on WDV method i.e. FY- 2024 ord. dep. - 2,400 and FY-2025 - 1,920 and FY-2026 - 1,536 and FY-2027 - 1,229 and FY-2028 - 4,915. However it is not nullified in FY- 2028 system again calculating 20% of 4,915 i.e. (983.04 - ord. dep.) and post which it is stopped with NBV- 3,932.16 but technically it should close the depreciation after the end of useful life i.e. so in FY- 2028 ord. dep. amount would be 4,915 can we achieve this through standard SAP functionality because in SLM system behaves accordingly. As a reference you can check in google depreciation calculator - https://www.calculator.net/depreciation-calculator.html?cmethod=declining&ccost=12%2C000&csalvage=0&... Please advise?

Note:  I have done couple of changes in configuration in order to get the same but not able to get it. I have change the BASE method of dep key by selecting 'dep after planned life end' to yes also in multilevel method check the check box 'percentage from remaining life' but couldn't able to succeeded.
