Change depreciation key in asset class

[Former Member]

Hello All,

My client wants us to change the depreciation keys assigned in asset class, We will do this in transaction OAYZ. We can change the dep key assignment in asset class and can move to produciton environment.

But the user is asking us this change of depreciation keys should applicable for already created assets also.

Is it possible? If possible what is the process to be followed adjust the dep.keys in existing assets also.

ex: asset class 1000 for which currently following depreciation keys have been assigned.

01 -book dep - AB (Dep key)

10 ACRS/MACRS - AB (Dep key)

11 ALT MIN - AB (Dep key)

12 ACE - AB (Dep key)

13 E&P - AB (Dep key)

40 SMACRS - AB (Dep key)

Now the customer asking us to change the dep key as below, and this change should applicable for already created assets also

01 -book dep - AB (Dep key)

10 ACRS - CD (Dep key)

11 LT MIN - EF (Dep key)

12 ADE - GH (Dep key)

13 EP - GH (Dep key)

40 MACRS - AB (Dep key)

Awaiting for your reply.

Thanks in advance

Am sure the customer will give you the asset classes number or g/l account number that they want to change.

e.g. lets assume they are having the dep key:

asset class 1000 for which currently  following depreciation keys have been assigned:

01 -book dep -  AB (Dep key)

10   ACRS/MACRS -  AB (Dep key)

11  ALT MIN -  AB (Dep key)

12   ACE -  AB (Dep key)

13   E&P -  AB (Dep key)

40  SMACRS -  AB (Dep key)

And they changing to the below:

01 -book dep -  AB (Dep key)

10  ACRS -  CD (Dep key)

11  LT MIN -  EF (Dep key)

12   ADE -  GH (Dep key)

13   EP -  GH (Dep key)

40  MACRS -  AB (Dep key)

And assume the attached document is like the below:

Asset classes / Asset description/ g/l account/ dep key

160100           /   land                 /   160100    / AB

160110           / Buildings            /  160110     / CD

160111           / smallwares        /  160111     / EF   

160112          /AUC                   / 160112      / GH 

160113          /AUC-Land           / 160113     /  GH

160114          / AUC-Site           /  160114    /  AB

SOLUTION:

TCode OAYZ; this has to be done in DEV.

Look for each of the Asset class number as seen above and select each line item then double click on the depreciation areas on the left and start changing with what your customer expected of you.

this will provide transport after saving each. Save theses transports and push it QA for them to test before transporting to production. see if this help.

With a LSMW you can change the depreciation key.

But should it correct the depreciation in the past or not?

When you change a depreciation key with the first depreciation it will corect the depreciation for this fiscal year. (when you have adh EA-FIN active and you create a new time inter ranges then not). For the old fiscal years you have to do an unplanned depreciation posting
