Yearly Depreciation doubles

[Former Member]

Dear Friends,

I would kindly need your help for the issue detailed below;

1. I create a new asset card from AS01. The useful life of the asset is set to 3 years.( depreciation key is normal which is supposed to calculate depreciation; by dividing purchase amount divided by useful life of the asset)
2. I buy the asset for 3k USD, from F-90. Asset allocates 1k depreciation for each year. But the depreciation still not posted.
3. I noticed there is something wrong with buying and I reverse the asset purchase document from AB08. After reversing, it shows no value in the asset card. So this is ok for me.
4. Then I purchase the asset again for 3k USD from F-90 by posting it to the same asset card.

As of the right after the step for is done, I expect the asset to allocate 1k USD depreciation for each year, but it doubles and calculate as 2k USD for each year and this is the issue now my customer faces.

I would highly appreciate any help,

kind regards,

Hi Faruk,

This sounds really strange. How does AW01N look for following years 2017 and 2018 ? Does the asset get a negative NBV or depreciation calculation already ends in the middle of 2017 ?

Have you tried what happens when you reverse the acquisition again and post it a 3rd time? Does the system then calculate a yearly depreciation amount of 3.000 TRY ?

Hi Michael,

Thank you for your interest,

I reversed the second purchase and posted another brand-new purchase via f-90.

Attached you can see the details in AW01N in related tabs. Btw, we opened an indictment message to SAP for the issue.

Hi Faruk,

Yes, I would have proposed the same - Open a message where you report the issue. It clearly looks like an error to me.

Are you using a system with SAP_FIN 720 or higher or any S4CORE version?

Hi Michael,

it is Hana system, version: 740.

Hi Faruk,

740 is basis release. I was interested in the application version (SFIN or S4CORE). Because it depends on that version if you're using classical or new asset accounting, and which features are active.

But support colleagues will check it in the message. Is the message already in process? I'm interested in this issue, but I didn't find your incident.

Hi Michael,

it is SAP_FIN 720.

after saving the message system gave such a number : 8100000201 for the incident.

kind regards,
