Expired useful life is calculating incorrect after changing the Ord. Dep. Start Date

[avinash_p1]

Hello Experts,

At the time of legacy data transfer Ord. Dep. Start has default date 01.04.2012 for all the assets. we have changed the actual date recently on 27.05.2015 but expired useful life is not calculating as per changes done to assets. we have also changed the Dep. key as per new depreciation (WDV) method useful life, India act 2013.

Please find the below screen Ord. Dep. Start date is 22.04.2000, Useful life is 15 Years but in AW01N it's showing "Expired Useful life" is 3 Years 183 Days instead 15 Years. It is showing like all the asset master data.

Now my client wanted to calculate it automatically. How to rectify this issue. please provide the solution that if it's calculated automatically through any process or we have to change it manually like useful life of assets.

Please also note that in AS02 screen it's showing different expired useful life i.e. 2 Years unlike AW01N

Please see below screen shot of AS02. please provide the solution at earliest possible.

Regards

Hi Avinash,

You have changed the dep.start date after you done depreciation posting. Hence system wont consider changed date after you run depreciation. It is calculating remaining useful life as per old dep.start date i.e. 01.04.2012. Hence you have to change the useful life as per revised dep.start date and then your remaining useful life will display correctly.

Hello Mukthar,

The actual situation is like this.

1. Ord. Dep. Start at the time of legacy data upload is 01.04.2012, but it is not actual.

2. We have changed depreciation key (WDV) as per new act 2013 from 01.04.2014 on 15.05.2015

3. We have changed useful life as per new act 2013 on 20.05.2015

4. We have changed Ord. Dep. Start date as per actual dates on 27.05.2015.

Now system has to calculate the expired useful life based on changes of useful life and Ord. Dep. Start date but it's not changed.

Dep posting has done upto 31.03.2013 and FY 2013 closed in Asset accounting.

Now please let me know what are the steps to be taken to calculate the expired useful life.

As per your reply i understand that point no. 4 should be done before point 3, if yes, now can we upload the useful life once again. if yes, what is the impact, then it calculates actual expired life.

Please provide the solution.

Hi Avinash,

You have to change the useful life of the asset as per actual depreciation start date. System wont automatically change the expired useful life as per actual dep.start date.

Hi Mukthar,

Sorry to say i didn't get you. I already changed the useful life of the asset as per new act 2013. but after that i changed ord. dep. start date. then what to do now. please tell me.

Hi Avinash,

After change useful life,are you getting the remaining useful life correctly. If yes, then no issues. If no, then how much remaining life you are expecting as per new dep.start date and how much difference it is coming as per system and manual calculation. That difference you have to reduce from the useful life of the asset.

Hello Mukthar,

" If no, then how much remaining life you are expecting as per new dep.start date and how much difference it is coming as per system and manual calculation. That difference you have to reduce from the useful life of the asset."

case-2: remaining useful life is also not correct, please let me know how to reduce the useful life of the asset and update the correct expired useful life, is it manual upload using BAPI or any note or solution is there, if yes, kindly provide.

Thanks for all your prompt responses..

Hi Avinash,

You have to change manually or by substitution. First you calculate manually how much the remaining life of the asset as per new dep.start date. Suppose as per new dep.start date your remaining life will be 22 days only as on 01.04.2015 but as per old start date it was 12 years. So you have to change the useful life as 3 years 22 days for the asset.
