Hi,
One of the company in my current project is in aviation training & pilot licencing. Company owns single engine aircrafts used for training.
The body of the aircraft & engines are seperatly capitalized. As per the aviation guidelines world wide, engines of aircrafts are required to be depreciated based on the fying hours because the trading (sale/purchase) of these engines is done based on how many hours the negine is used for flying. After every 2000 hours these engines are required to be changed.
In this company, once the student enrolls for completing his flying hours, the hours are noted & manually depreciated in legacy.
Can anyone let me know how to calculated & post the hourly depreciation in this case.
Thanks & Regards,
Ajay Gupte
Hi Ajay
Unit-of-production depreciation is based on the output-related use of the asset. When you specify a total expected output or a total expected number of units (In your case 2000 hours), and the exact output per period (no.of hours taken by a student to complete his training) or exact unit of production output figure per period, the system determines the resulting depreciation for each period. You enter the output or number of units at the level of the depreciation key.
Hope this piece of info is helpful to you.

HI Kim,
Thanks for your reply & apology for too late reply.
I have configured the Dep. Key based on the Unit of production. Total output is 2000 hours, but this out output is irrespective of fiscal year. Secondly, periodic usage is not fixed.
Considering the same example, a student may come any time to use his flying hours. There are some months where in the aircraft usage is zero. So where do I have to mention the actual usage for the period before I execute the depreciation run?
Thanks & Regards,

in this case,
please try Manual depreciation method.
Manual depreciaton uses a special depreciation key MANU. In that case there is no automated depreciation calculated on the asset. You have to calculate the depreciation by yourself and post it to the asset with transactions (e.g. Tcode ABMA).
Hi Ajay,
It is basically dependent on your client setting in SCC4.. if client status is 'P' then system will allow you to perform current settings. i.e. for client with status 'P' system will not ask client in modifiable mode (Applicable only for Environment --> Current Settings in SAP Easy Access screen)..
It works perfectly fine with transaction S_ALR_87009161 even in production. So, it will be very right even if you give authorization of this Transaction to user..

Hi
You can try to use either of the depriciation methods for calculating depriciation based on the hours of usage. (Unit-of-Production Depreciation or Depreciation Over Remaining Units of Production).
