Hi,
I have an issue in the way SAP calculates depreciation after legacy data transfer. Our fiscal year variant is V9 (Oct-Sep). The following are my date specifications for legacy asset data transfer
Date of Legacy Data Transfer: 07/31/2007 (End of Period 10 in current fiscal year)
Last period posted in previous system: 10/2007 (period 10 of current fiscal year).
With these settings, I post a legacy asset using AS91 with the following values
Useful life: 5 years
Deprn Key; Linear, calculated prorata monthly.
Acquisition Data: 10/25/2006 (In period 12 of last fiscal year)
Acquisition value: $6000
Accumulated Ordinary Depreciation: 1100 (Depreciation is $100 per month. So, for 11 periods it is $1100)
With these SAP calculates the following
Expired useful life at the start of the fiscal year: 1 period (this should be 11)
Depreciation in
Period 11 $913.56,
Period 12 $83.05
This shows that it is ignoring the fact that depreciation has already been posted in the previous system until period 10 of current fiscal year. Also, SAP is taking the net book value on transfer date (6000-1100=4900) and dividing it by the remaining life (59 periods , as calculated by SAP) to arrive at the depreciation value of 83.05 per month. Also, at this rate it posts depreciation for the whole year.
Ideally it should be
Expired useful life: 11 periods
Depreciation in
Period 11: $100
Period 12: $100.
Am I missing something here? Any help is highly appreciated.
Thank you,
Ram
