Planned depreciation not distributed in each month

[Former Member]

Hello,

I noticed that for some assets, in AW01N the amount of planned depreciation is not distributed for each month.

For example:

The Planned Depreciation for 2011 is 250000. And the system shows for period 1 (january) 250000 and for all the other period, system shows 0 !

For other assets it works correctly

Any idea ?

Thanks

Hi

Hi,

What you mean by 100% dep key ? Which transaction and field ?

[ajaycwa1981]

Hi

Go to your asset master - Dep Areas Tab... See whats the Dep key...

Check the % rate of your depreciation Key.. If you have assigned a 100% dep key, it would depreciate asset 100% in the 1st month

Hope it helps

Hi

I am again asking you the same question.. What is your dep % in your dep key?

Check your period control method also..

Hi,

Base method : 0007 - Ordinary: percentage from life (after end of life)

Declining-Balance Method: 001 - 0.00x / 0.0000% / 0.0000%

Period Control Method : 002 - 01/01/01/01

Multilevel Method: 008 - 0.0000%

I checked also the asset history and for 2010 was well distributed but i do not find any accounting document related to this asset in any fiscal year !

Hi

If you have dep based on useful life, then my last guess would be check if you entered Useful life as 0 yrs and 1 period or 1 year and 0 periods in Asset Master - Dep Areas Tab

Hi,

In fact, the usefule life = 1 year

And Planned useful life in periods = 0

The depreciation start 01.04.2010

Remain january, february and March 2011, right ?

PS: Thank you very much for the help and time that you devoted me

Hi,

Check Asset Master Change records,

I hope Dep key / useful life changed & select Smoothing Check box in T.Code: OAYR

Hello, I assume you have managed to solve that problem quite long ago already, but just in case it may be helpful for others running into the same issue: the consideration would be to check whether expired useful life in years and periods at start of the fiscal year calculated automatically based on the useful life is not overwritten or, if so, whether it is correct. For example, if this is a legacy asset to be transferred in the June 2024, what should specified here are the years and periods expired up to the start of 2024, and not the transfer period - June - itself; otherwise, it is assumed that the whole Useful life is complete and for that particular asset all remaining depreciation is posted in one period. Again, that would only make sense if there are just several assets with such an issue, otherwise, it might be of course a matter of configuration for the calculation methods in defined SAP.
