In our system, there is a asset acquisition value 3297600, use life 5 years.

We use Straight line to calculate depreciation value of one month is 3297600 / 5 / 12 => 54960, this asset will be completed depreciation in 2011/08,

Original Value

2011/01 -54960

2011/02 -54960

2011/03 -54960

2011/04 -54960

2011/05 -54960

2011/06 -54960

2011/07 -54960

2011/08 -54960

When our user transfer other asset value to this asset, the asset depreciation becomes a strange value.

The User trasnfers two asset value to this asset. The first asset transfered 303090 (Asset acquisition 3030900, Accumulated depreciation -2727810) in 2011/03/31, The second asset transfer 12480 (Asset acquisition 149,760, Accumulated depreciation -137,280) in 2011/04/30

User expects the deprecaition value as below

2011/01 -54960

2011/02 -54960

2011/03 -54960 + -50515

2011/04 -54960 + -50515 + -2496

2011/05 -54960 + -50515 + -2496

2011/06 -54960 + -50515 + -2496

2011/07 -54960 + -50515 + -2496

2011/08 -54960 + -50515 + -2496

But current asset calculated the deprecaition value as below

2011/01 -54960

2011/02 -54960

2011/03 -54960 + -50515

2011/04 -54960 + -50515 + -2496

2011/05 -54960 + -50515 + -2496

2011/06 -54960 + -50515 + -2496

2011/07 -54960 + -50515 + -2496

2011/08 1,949 (?)

2011/09 -107,971 (?)

2011/10 98,534 (?)

2011/11 -100,483 (?)

I don't know why the SAP calculated depreciation period becomes to 2011/11?

How can I change the asset depreciation value to "User expects the deprecaition value"?

The user chooses depreciation key AS90 Configuration as below

Hi,

In SAP there are different settings depending if you what the additional incoming charges to depreciate with independent start dates, versus all subsequent acquisitions to an asset record adopting the existing "Capitalized on" date in master data for the very first acquisition to record.

Are you getting the other option not desired?
