Dear,

1.How we do depreciation reversal?

2.it possible only a mass change or can do it for a particular asset? How

3. depreciation reversal can be done in testing client or live system?

4.can we do depreciation reversal for closed fiscal year?

Depreciation posted can never be reversed in SAP. SAP has provided and recommended to use Write-up functionality if depreciation was posted with more amount and if less amount then you can post unplanned depreciaiton. It can be done for closed fiscal year and for particalur or range of assets.

5.can we capitalized asset with out depreciation?

If law permits and you do not want to charge depreciation asset then maintain a zero rate depreciation key.

7.when we maintaining the depreciation key AFAMA we have an option SHUT DOWN what is that?

You can use shut down for following.....

If an asset is shut down for a given period of time, you can suspend the depreciation as follows:

u2022 Define the appropriate time interval in the time-dependent data for the asset.

u2022 Set the shutdown indicator in the asset master record for this interval.

u2022 Use a depreciation key that allows shutdown, in the depreciation areas concerned.
