multi level method not working

[Former Member]

Hello

I configured a multilevel method and assigned it to a depreciation key:

Chart of dep. Multilev.meth. To year of acq. Validity in yrs Months valid Base value dep. Dep. % rate

ZBE Z01 9999 001 000 01 40,0000

ZBE Z01 9999 002 000 01 65,0000

ZBE Z01 9999 003 000 01 90,0000

ZBE Z01 9999 004 000 01 100,0000

ZBE ZDG1 N 1 0012 002 002 Z01 1 0,0

ZBE ZDG1 N 2 0017 001 002 001 0,0

When I go to Asset Explorer, tab comparison the planned depreciation is still linear:

2009 5.000,00-

2010 5.000,00-

2011 5.000,00-

2012 5.000,00-

2013 5.000,00-

Do you have a solution? the depreciation rates should be 40% in 1st year, 25% in 2nd and 3rd year and 10% in 4th year.

I created a new asset and purchased it with a vendor invoice. In the new asset the degressive depreciation works!

Hi,

Check tcode: AFAMS and check validity start whether it is starting from the changeover year and as mentioned the base value is from the acqusition value but ussually for decline balance method the percentage for every year is based on the net book value hence by changing the base value method the depreciation amount will change

Hi

I followed your advice:

In AFAMS I changed from 1 to 5 for validity start. In the base value field I changed from 01 "acquisition value" to 24 "net book value". But in AW01N in tab comparison the depreciation per year is still 5000 = linear?!
