Asset transfer - double decline

[Former Member]

Hi All,

Need to ask on the SAP behaviour regarding asset transfer with depreciation -double decline method.

I have this scenario :

Asset A - APC = 21,561,974.00 ; UL = 8 years ; Dep months in the 1st year = 12

Year 1 : yearly depre exp = 5,390,493.50 - 25% depreciation percentage

Monthly depre = 449,207.80

Now, after I run 6 months depreciation - I transfer the asset to another asset class.

Asset NBV = 18,866,727.00

In new asset B -> the yearly depre exp = 2,358,340.88 - 12,5% depreciation percentage

monthly depre = 393,056.8

Question , is this the standard behaviour of SAP. The monthly depre is changed because system re-calculate on the asset remaining NBV and remaining depre months in the year.

Is it possible using the standard config, to maintain the monthly depre amount to be the same as the old asset ?

Regards,

Melissa

Hi

Dep based on useful life is calculated on the basis of NBV and remaining useful life.. So, this behaviour is correct...

If the new asset has different dep terms, the dep will be different
