Question on depreciation key

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a question relating to the customizing of a depreciation key. I would like to have a depreciation key wich realize depreciation calculation from a specific date, 01.07.200N ; N is the year of acquisition.

This date is different from the date of acquisition and first posting. This depreciation will be use in a specific depreciation area.

How can i configure this depreciation key? Is it possible to manage this issue with the standard?

That's correct for "depreciation to the day", it's already configure.

Next step, I have created a new period control to manage the starting date for the depreciation: 1st of July. (T_COD: OAVH)

Then I have configure this new method in a new period control method and I have included this method in AFAMA.

I don't have any significant result, do you think that a step is missing in my reflexion?

Thanks

Hi,

If you have ticked "Dep to the day" check box in adep key then any period control methods entered in the depreciation key are ignored for the entire useful life of the asset. This applies to all transactions (acquisitions, retirements, and transfers). The system always uses the asset value date as the depreciation start date.

WIth best wishes

Hi,

I agree with Monoj. If your requirement is to calculate depreciation from 01.07.2007, whatever is the transaction date, then the option 'Depn. to the day' should not have been used. However, it is not possible to change this setting once enabled. Check online help on this setting.

Thanks for those information. But what do you mean by "depreciation to the day", is ot a configuration point?

Is it different from T_COD: OAVH?

I have created created a new period with OAVH and modifed the configuration in AFAMP and AFAMA, but it doesn't work.

Can you please explain the rule of "depreciation of the day" and where I can check this information in the system?

Thanks for your feedback,

Hi,

First set your COD with OAPL.

Then go to AFAMA and double click on your dep key, there you will find the check box Dep to the day in the intial screen of that dep key.

Thanks,

Hi,

Yes, I believe this is possible with standard settings. You need to define a period control that starts depreciation calculation from the desired date. However, if the date 01/07 is not in sync with the fiscal year you need to define calender assignment in OAVH. Check this up.

Yes, this is possible. Please read the help in the IMG... this is well documented.
