How SAP Calculates Plan Depreciation for Depreciation Key LINR

181 Views

Dear SAP GURUs,

Dep Key LINR calculates depreciation based on "Str.-line from rem.life to book value zero".

If we acquired a new asset in the previous year, the system calculates a monthly plan depreciation based on the remaining NBV over the remaining useful life as at the beginning of the year.

If we increase the Useful Life of the fixed asset in the current year, the system adjusts the monthly planned depreciaton calculation in the current year as if the asset has adopted the new Useful Life right from the start.

Is there a way, we can allow the system to calculate the plan depreciation based on the

remaining NBV over the remaining useful life starting from the current month rather than locking in a plan depreciation right at the beginning of the year?

Thanks for your advice!
