Hi SAP Guru's
I have a few assets that we have refurbished, it looks like we had allocated the cost for the refurb to the asset and it has not depreciated.
If i give the following example:
We have an asset purchase price of $5433 (2010) useful life 5yrs its depreciated 4.5yrs with NBV $543 (2014) remaining we then refurbished the asset with the cost of $2080 and allocated this in period 10 (2014) its now 2017 and the fixed asset register is still showing this asset with a NBV of $2623. Ideally i would like to depreciate this asset from the year we allocated the refurbished cost 2014 (but I know SAP will only post for the current period) does that mean SAP will adjust for the remaining useful life?
How can do I start the asset depreciating again at the new refurbed value? What step have I missed?
Cheers
Crystal
Hi Crystal,
generally if you change any depreciation relevant parameter, the depreciation will be recalculated for all open fiscal years.
1. Please at first start a recalculation of values.
2. In AW01N press the button recalculation of values and check what the system is doing
- does refurbishment has an impact on the base value
3. In the attachment I can see that the depreciation for the year is adjusted to zero.
- perhaps useful life is zero and your settings in the depr. key are not allowing depreciate after useful life
best regards
Bernhard

Thank you Bernhard. And yes you are correct with point 3 that is what the system is doing. I have to extend the useful life of the asset in order for it to depreciate but I must seek approval from Manager before changing this in the system.
