Posting Depn for the entire month when asset is purchased on last day

[Former Member]

Hi

We have a scenario where we want to post the depreciation for the entire month in case of acquisitions and additions though the asset is purchased at the end of the month. I purchased a asset on 25102007 which is 7th period for my client. When I run the depreciation through AFAB it is calculating depn for only 3 days i.e., 25, 26 and 27th which is end of the 10th month for the client (UK). Where I am making the mistake. How should i configure the system to calculate depn. from the beginning of the month rather than on prorata basis.

Hi,

Pls check the period control method used in the depreciation key attached to the asset clas/master record.

If the period control is 01 for acquisitions then depreciation would be calculated from start of the period irrespective of the acquisition date during the period.

you can aslo check depn caln date in the asset master or in AW01N parameters.

Hope this solves your problem.

Thanks,
