Urgent: Why is the depreciation start date different from capitalization?

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I capitalized an asset on the 28th. But ordinary dep start date shows as 16th of the month. Why is that so?

My period control is configured to 01.

Please let me know why this has happened asap.

thanks & Regards

Is it because my system is configured to 2 dep periods per month? So the 2nd period start date is effectively 16th? (due to period control 01)

I believe that's the explanation...

Have another question... why does the deprecitaion for a FY show over 24 periods and not over 12?

you must be using half period/half month as your period control. So from 1st-15th of the month is your 1st period and from 16th-30 or 31 is your 2nd period which is the reason its showing 24 periods and not 12. Check your period control within your depreciation key using t-code AFAMA.

plz assign points if useful.

It is possible in asset accounting to have difference Fiscal Year Variant than in financial Accounting. In your case you might have assigned a 24 period Fiscal Year vairant to the company code in Asset Accounting.Check your settings in IMG...Asset Accounting> Valuation> Fiscal Year> Specify Other Versions on Company Code Level

please check if you use half month in the company code. this should be the reason why you have assigned 24 period in the fiscal year.

you will find the settings in IMG -> Asset accounting ->Valuation->Fiscal Year-> Use of half month in the company code.

please take care you can not remove these settings.
