asset depreciation calculation based on net book value adjustment

[Former Member]

currently I have one asset depreciated based on acquisition value, I want to depreciate using netbook value starting from May,

thus May and afterwards depreciation should be 61107 USD.

but accountant forget this and depreciate asset in May with amount 54628. the June planned depreciation is still based on Acquisition value, i.e. 61150.

So how to adjust June depreciation, if I create a new depreciation key with multi-method based on NBV and change asset master,

will this solve problem?

how to adjust May posting since it is already posted? thanks

Hi,

if you change the depr. key, or any depr. relevant settings, and make a depr. run (doesn't matter if a repead run or a depr. run) for the following period) the system correct the depr. for all open fiscal years! If course this correction is made in the actual period. (For the calculation of depreciation also the setings in OAYR are relevant -> Smoothing)

Hope I could help you.

Thank you for the reply.

But The issue here is I changed the depreciation key based on NBV, but planned depreciation still based on acquisition value for the following months. by the way, OAYR is monthly depreciation. I didn't tick the smoothing, I think this will affect whole company code. I only want to change the depreciation key based on NBV for three assets only, the rest of assets still using Acquistion value depreciation.

I do test in a sand box, now the latest posted depreciation is April, original depreciation key is Z001 (based on Acquisition value),

I changed the depreciation key to Z002(based on NBV), in AS03, I can see the planned depreciation for May is still 61150(based on Acquisition value). I run AFAB, (test run), the result is same.

My objective is let May and subsequent months planned depreciation to be 61107 based on NBV of April.

Simply change the depreciation key doesn't work at all, anyone have the solution, which other fields in asset master I need to change? or do i need other configuration? thanks

Hi,

After changing the Key , run AFAR- Recalulate Values.

It should then use the new values.

Kind regards

Thanks, but after I run AFAR- Recalulate Values,I choose list of assets, depreciation from 2010, asset number, test run, it doesn't show any output.

I then untick test run, spool says list contains no data, I go back to Asset explorer, it shows the same figure for May, June......as the old ones, no changes has been done? do I also need to change depreciation start day to be May 2010 in AS03 before I run AFAR?

I advised you to transfer to another asset, then you can use , changed depreciation basis from acquisition value to NBV, and change depreciation key will not work, and AFAR also will not work

Hi,

we are not allowed to create new asset, why SAP can't handle this situation?

[Former Member]

The situation you give is not clear for me:

What is the depreciation start date

What is the depreciation Key and how is this set-up (is depreciation to the day used,.....?)

What is the aquasiton ammound

What is the use full live

Thanks for your solution

[Former Member]

Hi do you have the solution from your problem? could you share with me

[Former Member]

I create a new depreciation key, with the multilevel method, Acq. year :9999

Year:999, period:12, Base valuation:24 and tick Rem Life

I then change the original depreciation key to this new depreciation key, however, the planned depreciation still 61150, not calculated based on NBV, do I miss any steps, I want planed depreciation to be based on NBV.

Any idea? Thanks
