Depreciation start "1st day same month" with "Depreciation to the day"

[Former Member]

Hello guys,

I am using the option "Depreciation to the day" and I want to start the depreciation "First day same month" for a depreciation key.

Do you know if I can handle it customizing the period controle rules or using any standard setting?

Thank you in advance for your help

Best regards

The OSS note 1112556 give the answer to my question

This is not possible with Depreciation to the day.

You have to use in your posting the asset value date from the first of the month.

Wy you want to use Depreciation to the day when the depreciation starts on the begin of the month? More postings on a asset?

Hello Paul and thank you for your first answer.

My requirement (french legal one) is to have:

- Book Depr area 01 with straight line depr°, depr start date=acquisition date, depreciation to the day,

- Fiscal Depr area 02 declinning balance, depr start date=1st day same month,

- Depr area 03 = diff between 01 and 02.

As I have activated the "depreciation to the day" on depr area 01, I am obliged to apply the same logic on depr area 02 to make sure depr area 03 will calculate the correct value...

Do you have any solution for me ?

thank you in advance for your help

I think you give the solution by you self

area 01 deciation key with depreciation to the day. It is important to fill in the asset value date, this is the real depreciation start date. (not the depreciation start date you fill in the field depreciation start date)

Area 02. You can use the standard LINR/LINS but look if the period control is set OK. (don't use the option depreciation to the day) Depreciation start on the begin of the month. When you fill in manual the depreciation start date this date is the base.

Area 03 is still the difference between 01 and 02

Hello Paul,

This is what I try to do but the system refuse it ! If Depr area 01 is set with Depreciation to the day and Depr area 02 is not defined with this option the system display the following message:

Depreciation area 03 is not being processed

Message no. AA087

Diagnosis

The depreciation area 07 cannot be processed, because it was not transferred to the function module for breaking down the derived depreciation area.

Procedure

The user is not required to do anything.

Do you have any other idea?

Thank you in advance for your help

You have to look to your settings for the area's 03 and 07 what they are doing and how are the copy rules

Sorry there is a mistake in my previous message (forget about depr area 07), the error is:

Depreciation area 03 is not being processed

Message no. AA087

Diagnosis

The depreciation area 03 cannot be processed, because it was not transferred to the function module for breaking down the derived depreciation area.

Procedure

The user is not required to do anything.

I think that this message is issued because depr area 01 is set with depr to the day and depr area 02 is not (depr area 03 is the difference between depr 01 & 02).

Should I understand that it is impossible with the standard solution to have such situation?

Thank you in advance

Hi,

In our system I created a new asset with same situation but there was no error. It is possible that you can't change an existing asset. I think it is stored in the asset.

When you create a new asset do you then have the same probelem?

[Former Member]

Yes I have the same issue for new assets...

I am working with the version SAPKH60007, what about you?

Could the new depreciation engine have any impact on the solution?

do you think that what I want to implement should be possible?

Thank you in advance for your help
