How to post depreciation for only six months

[aamna]

Hi Guys,

My client requirement is that they want to create new depreciation key ,for which they want to post depreciation only for six months for next six months depreciation should not get calculated.

Any suggestion what are the settings we need to do to fulfill their requirement

I tried changing period control indicator but that did not work

Hi, Aamna!

Have you tried to view that asset on a change mode?

Because this is what you should be seeing at that screen:

Otherwise, you may consider raising your concern with your authorization team and check if there's any authorization object on check in your creation/changing/display of Asset Master Data.

Thanks!

Hi Sir,

AS02 also we are not having access to more interval and also basis team confirmed that we are not having any restrictions through authorization

Hi, Aamna!

You may want to check this SAP Note regarding the "more interval" not appearing on your asset master data:
https://launchpad.support.sap.com/#/notes/0002068227

If your company/client won't agree with the SAP Note's procedure, you may consider blocking the asset(s) after you have depreciated it for 6months, every time the Asset processor executes the Dep'n run so that these assets won't get selected and get calculated.

But you may also consider positioning with the help of your Presales team, the migration (be it brownfield or greenfield) of your client to S/4HANA for the New Asset Accounting.

Thanks!

Hi, Aamna!

You have to double-click on that depreciation area so you will be directed to the details inside. And from there, you will find "More Interval" button.

Thanks!

Hi, Aamna!

You may check below answer to the question from this post.
Change of Dep key in Asset without effecting the posted values | SAP Community

You may add interval to the asset master on the 7th month with dep key '0000' so it won't get a posting to Dep'n Expense and Acc Dep'n. You may consider also of not creating a new dep'n key w/c only calculates for 6 months.

Consider as well your Financial Reporting Standards (e.g. IFRS/GAAP), if from Audit Perspective, half year dep'n of an asset is permissible from their point of view and if compliant to GAAP. If your company/client is following IFRS, you may check IAS 16 if your asset falls under this principle's category. Otherwise, your 6month-asset is just an LVA, on which, in general are not depreciable but are just periodic expense. It is suggested that you discuss this further with your client.

Thanks!
