Depreciation key in sap cloud

. Can you explain the difference in depreciation key between SUL1 and LINA?

Also, what happens when an asset is entered into SAP over 1 year after the depreciation start date? For example, if an asset was supposed to start depreciation on Oct 1, 2022 but we entered the asset into SAP on Oct 1, 2023. Is the monthly depreciation calculated based on the original useful life or the remaining useful life? Does it adjust 2022 numbers?

Example:

Asset cost = 120, useful life 5, assuming 2022 numbers do not get adjusted.

  1. If depreciated over original useful life, the monthly depreciation would be $2 ($120/(5*12)). The depreciation in 2022 would be 0, 2023 would be $30 ($2 * 15 months including 3 month catch up from 2022) and 2024 would be $24 ($2 * 12 months)
  2. If depreciated over remaining life, the monthly depreciation would be $2.5 ($120/(4*12)). The depreciation in 2022 would be 0, 2023 would be $30 ($2.5 * 12months) and 2024 would be $30

Thank you!
