different figure shown between standard asset reports

[Former Member]

Hi all,

does my scenario is a normal SAP asset reporting?

1. asset history sheet - depr month 1 to 2 is 123.12

2. asset explorer or S_P99_41000192 - Posted depreciation by asset and posting period shows figure 123.20 for the same period 1 to 2.

3. GL balances for depr shows 123.20 (same as 2nd report)

why both asset reports does not tally and how to rectify it?

i already check the reconciliation and run std program to check but no inconsistency reported.

Hi,

have you changed depreciation parameters which have to be considered for calculation AFTER you posted period 1? You have to consider that the depreciation run period 1 may has calculated a different depreciation as it would have had with the current depreciation parameters and settings. Thus the difference to be posted can correctly be different then the difference based on current depreciation settings.

The small difference can for instsance occur due to changes in rounding settings ...

Just an idea which provides a reasonable explanation for this.

What does the posted depreciation report show for period 1 and what is the planned depreciation value based on current settings within the History Sheet for period 1?

Another possible reason can be that user-exits are involved in the calculation ...

Hi,

The most reports in Asset accounting are based on simulation an not actual postings (rounding differences are possible. But in the most cases you can tick

The asset history sheet should give the correct values, have you selected in the selection screen "Depreciation posted".

In the other report you offen can select Current book value
