Useful life Depreciation should start from the acquisition period - issue

[Former Member]

Dear All,

My user purchased one asset through F-90 as below:

Asset Value : 5000

Useful life : 5 yrs

Asset Value date : 25-02-2009

While checking in T-Code: AW01N in COMPARISON tab, the system is showing the value as below:

Year - Acqui.Value - Ord. Dep - Net book Value

2008 - 5000 - 200 - 4800

2009 - 5000 - 1200 - 3600

2010 - 5000 - 1200 - 2400

2011 - 5000 - 1200 - 1200

2012 - 5000 - 1200 - 0

My user wants the depreciation calculation as below:

Year - Acqui.Value - Ord. Dep - Net book Value

2008 - 5000 - 167 - 4833

2009 - 5000 - 1000 - 3833

2010 - 5000 - 1000 - 2833

2011 - 5000 - 1000 - 1833

2012 - 5000 - 1000 - 833

2013 - 5000 - 833 - 0

We are using Depreciation as per useful life.

Please guide me to change the settings.

Hi JS,

what is the formula behind your calculation? That would make it a little bit easier trying to understand your requirement.

Thanks for your response,

the calculation should be as below:

5000 x 20% = 1000 is per annum depreciation (for monthly 83.33) flat

Try using the standard depreciaiton key LINA and it should work as you wanted it.

Hi

While creating the asset you put capitalization date 1.02.09 and assigning the depreciation key select key LINA and op. dep. date 01.02.09.

I think this will work, i tested in my system.

It seems thatn your user is asking for depreciation based on useful life, if it is your requirement go to AFAMS and find out the multi level method of your depreciation key, select it click on levels and select the check box Rem.Life.
