Hi

Below are changes specific to ECC 6.0

Depreciation Calculation (Changed)

Use

As of SAP ECC Enterprise Extension Financials 6.0 (EA-FIN 600), the general calculation logic for

depreciation calculation and the depreciation trace was changed.

The calculation of depreciation and interest is now based on transactions that are together within a

calculation period. The system generates a period vector. The calculation is made in chronological order,

starting from the earlier periods to the later. Using this method makes it possible to avoid problems with

calculations and rounding with transactions in the last year of the useful life of the asset.

Additional Options for Period Control (Enhanced)

Use

As of SAP ECC Enterprise Extension Financials 6.0 (EA-FIN 600), you can post investment support,

revaluation, unplanned depreciation and reserves with their own period control in Asset Accounting

(FI-AA). SAP provides the following additional transaction type groups (see table TABWG) for this

purpose. You can use these in your own individual transaction types.

Transaction Type Group Name Period Control Group

53 Allocation of support B (Invesment support)

76 Write-up transfer of reserves D (Write-uo)

78 Write-up unplanned depreciation D (Write-up)

A1 and A2 Gross revaluation with depreciation A (Revaluation)

A4 Unplanned depreciation C (Unplanned depreciation)

A5 C Unplanned depreciation,

Maintainenance of Asset Master Data (Enhanced)

Use

As of SAP ECC Enterprise Extension Financials 6.0 (EA-FIN 600), there are now time-dependent

parameters for the cutoff value, useful life, and depreciation key in asset master data maintenance. The

system considers these time-dependent parameters when calculating depreciation and interest.

Change of User Exits for Depreciation Calculation (Changed)

Use

As of SAP ECC 6.0, SAP_APPL 600, if the EA-FIN Extension is active, then the depreciation calculation

used up to now is replaced by a new program.For more information on the changes and enhancements to the depreciation calculation functions, see

release notes ECC60_FAA_DEPRCALC_1 to ECC60_FAA_DEPRCALC_5.

Effects on System Administration

If you want to use the new depreciation calculation program, set the EA-FIN Extension to active.
