This special depreciation link is not helping me. It only tells you to take out some percentage at one time. It doesnot explain how to get only 50% of depreciation for first period.

Does SAP gives this functionality of getting only 50% of origional depreciation for first period or we will have to make Journal Entry.

Example is Suppose the total depreciation for one year is 1200 and one month thus is 100, requirement is that first month should be 50 not hundred. How to achieve this

Pl help

Thanks

Hi,

You will need to set up a multi-level method.

For the first period use base 02 (Half APC) and for the rest 01

Look here for more info.

Thanks for your reply. I tried in Multilevel method but it doesnot work the way the requirement is. I assigned like this in Multilevel method

Acq year year perod base value

9999 1 1 02

9999 1 2 01

.......................................

......................................

....................1 12 01

when i see the result, it calculates 50% for all periods.Secondly my question is that here we re asigning peiod 1 as 02 base value i.e half of Acq value but acquisition can be in any period. pl help

thanks.

Hi,

You need to set it up as:-

9999 0 01 02

9999 99 01

The Period is not for which period, but for duration in Periods.

Your previous seeting of 1 1 = 13 Months validity

Kind regards

Excellent, it worked but now only one one error coming. I am getting next period also 50% off. Ok I will explain how I did maybe still I am wrong at some place

I eneterd like this in first line

Acq Year=9999

Years=0

Period=1

Base Value=02

In second line I entered

Acq year = 9999

Years = 99

Period=01

Base Value = 01

Now my system shows period 2 as half value since we are in Feb and acq was done in Feb only that is correct. Period 3 is also doing 50% which is march.

Please help me in fine tunning.

I really appreciate your this help. You are great

Thanks man , It worked. Really it solved my big problem. Really appreciate your this help.

I have one question for you. In australia the tax rules change almost every year but the official notification comes very late. In the meantime four or five months are passed. So is there any way that they can stop the depreciation just for tax books and when rules comes in their haqnd, they can go and change the useful life accordingly and then run the depreciation for last months for tax books. Please note that Tax books are not posting depreciation real time in books. Or there is some other way to correct the depreciation for those last months.

Thanks
