We have a problem with the period value of depreciation for new acquisitiond during the year.
Depreciation settings :-
Straight line % from useful life using NBV
Period controll all set to 11 (next month)
Annual depreciation is being calculated correctly but is being spread over one extra period
Example
10000 acquisition in Feb, asset value b/f at start of year 15years 9 months - 177 periods
Depreciation for year on new acquisition = 10000/175 (177-2 to start in March)*10 = 571
Period values displayed and posted = 51.94 ( 571/11)
Any ideas?

Hi
If you have posted acquisition in an existing asset AND Field XBZDAT in Table T090NP is not set to X - Then the system behaviour is correct
Basically the system is calculating depreciation for all open periods i.e. from the Start of the year in the absnce of T090NP settings... Hence, it is 12-1 = 11 i.e. as if the Asset is acquired at the start of the year - 1 month as per your period control
Either make T090NP settings or Follow the SAP recommendation of managing new acquisitions in Sub Assets

Hi Ajay
Thanks for your reply, my understanding of the field is it is used for the calculation of depreciation and not the popsting, either way as you indicate it is not available in ECC6.
The total amount of depreciation for the year that SAP is calculation is correct, in this instance it is correctly using 10 months, the issue is it is then spreading that depreciation over 11 months; this is not aa major issue it just gives an added dimention when looking at period actual vs plan that I would like to eliminate if I could.

Hi Steve,
You have mentioned the useful life as 15 years 9 months which comes out to be 189 months and not 177, please recheck your useful life and also check if there is any expired useful life.
Thanks!!!
