Depreciation posting - LC amount not equal to LC2 amount

[Former Member]

Good day all,

We have an issue with the monthly depreciation postings where the LC amount does not equal the LC2 amount. Both the LC and LC2 are configured as the same currency in the company code yet it is reflecting a difference in the FAGLL03 report. Any ideas on what could be causing the issue?

OB22

FAGLL03 difference

Hi

You need to check if you have specified a difference exchange rate type in OBA7 for Document type AF. Also check the reasons for such kind of differences as specified in OSS Note 2185074 and also follow the steps mentioned in this consulting note for resolution. Also check if any posting has been done for a depreciation area to adjust Net Book Value for any of the assets.

The below link should also be useful to you.

I am not sure, when was the legacy transfer done for assets done in your case and if there is any specific asset in which the values were entered differently for Currency type 10 and Currency type 30. You will also have to analyze from that perspective.

Thanks & Regards

Hi Sanil,

Thank you, document type AF does not have any specific exchange rate configured. I will check the note. I have noticed that the assets in question have different useful lives in area 01 and 30 and then were changed to be the same. Could this be the issue?

Kind regards

Hi

If your depreciation calculation is based on useful life and change was spread over two periods than it will impact values. I would suggest to create a transaction type with limitation of posting to a specific depreciation area and do a write up or write down as the case may be.

Hi Sanil,

Thank you. What I have observed is that the asset was created last year in October 2015 with a useful life of 4 years in Depreciation Area 01 and a useful life of 3 years in Depreciation Area 30. Depreciation area 30 was then changed in February 2016 to 4 years to be in line with Depreciation area 01. Then as per your suggestion we would need to create a transaction type limiting posting to Depreciation area 30 and post write ups or write downs accordingly to bring area 30 to the same value as area 01. Am I correct?

If your depreciation key is based on remaining useful life, it should automatically catch up in next Afab run. Check the Multi Level Method of your Dep Key and see if "rem useful life" indicator is ON

See If you can change that or create Z transactio type to do writeup or write down of depreciation

Hi Ajay,

Thanks for the reply.

The remaining useful life indicator is ticked in the multilevel method of the dep key.

Will it do a catch up on the next AFAB run even though only depreciation area 01 has "real time posting" and area 30 has "does not post" configured?

Kind regards

yeah it should

I hope you have assigned the Area 30 to Parallel currency LC2

Hi Ajay,

Thanks again for the reply. I've been trying to find where the configuration would be for Area 30 to LC2 but have not been successful. Where would i find this link and would it be possible to take off as the client does not want LC2 to be linked to Area 30?

Kind regards

Hi Andre

If you have Parallel Currencies in FI, you must have a Depreciation Area for it too

The IMG Path is SPRO > AA > Valuation > Currencies > Specify the use of Parallel Currencies

Hi Hari,

Our issue was that the useful life between are 01 and 30 were different. The user changed the useful life of area 30 to be in line with area 01 and the issue was resolved.
