Expired life of the asset in periods not updating

Former Member

Hi Experts,

  Could any one explain us, how the expired life of the asset updates in periods?

  I have checked in ANLC and ANLB tables, it updates only in years. Say for example, Life of an asset is 10 years and expired is 10 months. Here we want to know, where the system updated the periods of remaining life as 110. (10 X 12=120 periods -10 periods (expired life)= 110 periods.)

Looking for your valuable information.

Regards,

Chandu

Hi Chandu,

Table ANLC- Fields NDABJ & NDABP show expired useful life in years and periods respectively.

But it will show expired years and periods at the year beginning only.

For example,If you are following Fiscal year (Apr-March) If asset capitalised on Feb 2013. Now FY 13 NDABJ will show "0" and NDABP will show "1" and in FY14, it will show NDABJ-"1",NDABP-"1".

Hope it clarifies.

Hi Sethuraman,

Your are right. System updates like that only.

But how system reduces the period when we run the depreciation on monthly . For example asset life is 10 years nothing but 120 periods. So when I am running depreciation on 5th period the original life of the asset is 115(120-5). I want to know how this calculation system is doing when we run depreciation. Is there any function module or any tables in updates with original life of the asset in periods.

Looking for your valuable information.

Hi Chandu,

It will take periods till date, then add it to the periods expired at the year beginning.

As in the previous example, If NDABJ-"0" and NDABP-"1" at Apr 13, so it will add 9 more periods from April to December if you run depreciation now. So it will calculate depreciation for 10 months and reduce depreciation posted before this run.

Hope it clarifies.

Hi Sethuraman,

Hi Chandu,

Lets assume you purchased asset on March 13,for Rs 120000 and useful life is 10 years-120 months.

So Depreciation would have been posted for 1000.

At current fiscal year in ANLC table NDABJ-"0",NDABP-"1".

So if you run depreciation on Dec 13, it will calculate depreciation for 10 months total expired life(1 month at year beginning and 9 months for current year) so total will be 10000. It will be cumulative depreciation. It will reduce 1000 which is already posted and post 9000 now which is depreciation for current year.

Hope it clarifies.

Hi Sethuraman,

  Thanks for your immediate response. Now I understood better.

  Our fiscal year is K4 and using straight line method dep. 

  Depreciation = Asset value/ remaining life of the asset. Here I have one doubt, when we skip depreciation run, how the system will calculate the depreciation amount?.

Example : Asset capitalized value(01.01.2013) is 50000 and life is 10 years. Current fiscal year in ANLC table NDABJ "0" and NDABP "0",  So when I run depreciation for Jan-2013 and if add 1 to NDABP, then it will calculate 50000/119 where as it should calculate 50000/120.

And also How to handle asset values when we skip depreciation run for certain periods? because we need to deduct the posted depreciation amount till depreciation run period.. Example as above case say 1st period depreciation value is 50000/120 =416.66 and second period it should be 50000- 416.66 =49583. Depreciation 49583/119=416.66.

Please advise me to calculate the above scenario

Hi Chandu,

You cannot skip depreciation run.

The depreciation run need not be monthly always also. There is a provision to run dep monthly,qtrly etc which is configured in OAYR.

If you have configured monthly in OAYR and forget to run the dep for period 1 to 11 then it will not allow running for period 12. So you have to run depreciation for every periods from 1 to 12 sequentially.

In that case there will not be any chance for depreciation mismatch.

Hope it clarifies.

Revert back for further clarification.

HI Sethuraman,

  I am getting clarified with our conversation. Thanks for it.

Our client requirement is depreciation should be calculated on revaluation amount only and the same posted depreciation should be deducted every month from revaluation. This calculation we are doing with help of ztables.

  When they run AFAB, system takes Revaluation value from Ztable. So, why Iam talking about skip because, say for example I have ran depreciation for 9 asset out of 10 assets till dec 2013(all asset capitalized in jan-2013). If  I run depreciation for that 1 asset in dec 2013 alone system will post for 12 months depreciation at a time. This calculation we want to know to develop our z program.

Hi Chandu,

If you do not want depreciation to be calculated for certain assets for certain period, you can shutdown the asset for that period.

Go to AS02, Time dependent tab, Tick the asset shutdown and enter the time period for which you need so.

If you havent configured for asset shutdown then do it in AFAMA in such a way that Shutdown is allowed.

Hope it clarifies.
