Post to Derived Depreciation Area

Hi All,

We are facing a problem to assign Gl accounts to the Derived depreciation area –XX in AO90 in S4HANA-1909 Version(FI-AA: New Asset Accounting).

Below is the Case:

01 US GAAP 0L GAAP Post In Real-time

02 DE GAAP 0L GAAP Area does not Post

03 Difference(01-02) 0L GAAP -------------------------

In S4HANA we are not able to configure Derived(Delta) depreciation -03 as it posts Derived Dep amount to GL Accounts because we are not able to assign GL Accounts to Derived Dep Area in AO90.

Derived Dep Area Not shown in AO90,

Below are the alternatives we tried to Show Derived Dep area-03 in AO90:

Alt-1:

Posting in GL: Area Post to Depreciation only

Derived Depreciation as real depreciation area - Not Active.

Alt-2:

Posting in GL: Area Does not Post

Derived Depreciation as real depreciation area - Active.

In the above 2 alternatives, we are not able to see the Derived depreciation area in AO90.

Below 3rd alternative combination is possible in ECQ and able to see derived Dep area in AO90 were as not possible in S4HANA.

Alt-3:

Posting in GL: Post APC Immediately and Depreciation Periodically

Derived Depreciation as real depreciation area - Active.

Please guide us, how to configure the Derived Depreciation area, that shows in AO90 and available for assigning GL accounts to post the calculated Delta Amount.

Hi Sanil Bhandari,

Thanks for sharing the link and your comment.

Sorry, I have updated my problem here because I am also facing the issue as mentioned by Siva above.

My problem is, I have three Depreciation areas like below :-

Dep area 01 marked as Real Depreciation area, Posting in GL 1 (Area posts in Realtime), Target Ledger Group 0L

Dep area 02 marked as Real Depreciation area, Posting in GL 0 (Area does not posts), Target Ledger Group blank

Dep area 03 not marked as Real Depreciation area, Posting in GL 2 (Area posts APC and Depreciation Periodically), Target Ledger Group 0L (Delta Depreciation area – Negative 01 Area and Positive 02 Area)

So, in existing ECC system, there are two depreciation area appearing in AO90 01 and 03 where different GL are mapped for APC and depreciation.

When we were migrating then it was required to change Dep Area 03 as Posting in GL 0 (Area does not posts) Because delta depreciation is not supported in S4 HANA. Also, I was not able to change the settings of Dep area 02 to make it real deprecation area since it is marked as Posting in GL 0 (Area does not posts). Hence, if we see depreciation areas in AO90, there is only one depreciation area 01 not 03 in S4 HANA. However, client want to post APC and Depreciation Periodically for the dep area 02 or 03.

So, can you please guide how to cope up in this situation?

Hi Siva,

How you resolved the issue as I am also facing the same in S4 HANA 2020? Derived Area (Delta) is not available in AO90 since it gets deactivated after migration to S4 HANA.

Hi jolienlipkens

Derived Depreciation is not supported in S/4HANA as there is no need for the same, as all values are posted to the relevant depreciation area on a real time basis. I would advise you to go through the below blog by ajeetkumar.agarwal
