Asset Accounting_ Depriciation Calculation Issue in one Asset

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I have an issue related to depriciation posting for one specific asset.

The original asset was created in July 2010 with useful life of 5 years. There was post capitalisation in July 2013.

Now the useful life of the asset ended in August 2015 and SAP posted the remaining net book value as depriciation for post capitalisation amount also and net book value is zero.

Further, the system write up the amount in December 2015 . The planned amount writeup is after deducting depriciatrion for ther period of Aug to Dec 2015 as if nothing has happened.

My questions / queries are:

1)Why the system did not recognise the post capitalisation from 2013 and adjusted depriciation accordingly for remaining life of the asset

2)Why does the system plans to do a write up again in December 2015 which results in monthly depriciation for the Period August to Deember 2015 as if nothing happened?

3) Even if it is right why did the budget depriciation run in SAP did not come to the same conclusion.

Looking forward for your support to understand this issue and changes if any need to be done in system.

Hi Yogesh,

What is the base method maintained for the multi level method of the depreciation? Are you using the method based on remaining useful life, if yes, then system will change depreciation accordingly. And also share screen shot of AW01N of the asset.

Hi Sir,

Thnaks for your reply.

  Rem.Life indicator (Calculate percentage from remaning useful life) is not flagged in SAP.

Please find attached screen shot of AW01N, Baseline Line and Multilevel Method used.

Original acquisition of 126010 in 2010, subsequent
acquisitions in 2013

System depreciate the total value of 610,965.14/- in August
2015 as useful life was for 5 years and write up the amount again in December.

Multilevel Method

Baseline Method Phase 1

Baseline Phase 2

Hi,

Here in multilevel method its not mentioned that what is the percentage of depreciation to be charged on the Acquisition cost of Asset. Also the remaining life of the asset is not ticked. Can you try to maintain Base Value as 27 instead of 01 in Multilevel method and revert.

Hi Malhar,

Percentage is zero.

The issue is that it is Producton server and we just want to know the reason why system behave like this for one particular asset.

Why the whole amount charged as depriciation in the month of August and then writeup is planned in December Month.

Please could you provide your inputs and expert advise for the same.

Hi Yogesh,

The system is reversing the excess depreciation due to the check box selected in the base method of the dep.key in phase 2. Here you have to use the base method 0014 and check the impact after change it.
