Special Depreciation is if you want to calculate any additional deprecition over and above normal depreciation.

Yes Special Depreciation does post to Balance Sheet. If you set the depreciaiton dep. area to post to GL. Normally these are set for Statistical Postings

Assign these accounts in AO90 Depreciation and Assign the Special Depreciaiton area in AO94.

Special Depreciation is depreciation you would want SAP to calculate for tax purposes. Generally you don't post to FI for special depreciation like Ordinary and Unplanned Depreciation.

If you want posting for special depreciation we have to do the configuration in the same way as ordinary depreciation.

Important config will be:

AO90 maintain GL accounts for Special Depreciation here you will mention the Balancesheet accounts and the Depreciation accounts. Depreciation is calculated based on the Depreciation Key attached to the Tax depreciation in the asset master.
