Hi,

I am trying to set up a depreciation key for 95% depreciation in the very first month and a residual 5%.

Can someone please tell me how to do this.

Many Thanks

Hi Tripti,

Did you change the "Ord dep start date" in the master also? It should work.

Thank you Sridhar.

I have done that as well.

In transaction AFAMS,

What do i need to put under the Years and Period column.

The system tends to think that it has to depreciate a 95% for the entire year , however i need a 95% depreciation in the very first month.

Any suggestions??

Hi Tripti,

Check the Validity start field while defining the Depreciation key. Instead of "From Capitalization date" give "From ordinary dep start date" and try.

Hi Sridhar

Thank you.

With that option, asset does not depreciate at all.

Hello Paul

Thank you very much.

I have tried this before, it seems to work fine when the asset capitalisation date is 1.4,yyyy, however the percentage value seems to decrease to 87.08% when the capitalisation date is 1.5.yyyy and so on.

It seems to be calculating the percentage for the entire year and this is not what i want.

I need 95% amortisation over 1 month only.

Any help would be much appreciated.
