There is a need to revalue assets on a certain date in the current
fiscal year. We did all the steps necessary to carry out revaluation
using Transaction AR29N, using the "new valuation of an asset"
function. After the reval the asset master was updated with the new Depreciation key and new useful life/dep start date.
SAP calculated the forecasted depreciation incorrectly in the
first few attempts, but after some testing it worked fine and we posted
periodic depreciation. This worked as expected. Using the same settings
in the same company code a new asset was revalued with a new value
date. The problem has returned although nothing was changed in the
system, The fore casted depreciation does not make sense.
Examples:
1. Asset Original Value at FY start - $100 with a planned dep of $1 for
the remaining useful life. Depreciation for 4th FP posted. Asset revalued
with a value date corresponding to FYP 04/2011. Revalued at $1200 with
new useful life of 24 months and new Dep start date corresponding to
start FYP 03. Expected depreciation PM is $50. This scenarion worked
fine.
2. Asset Original Value at FY start - $100 with a planned dep of $1 for
the remaining useful life. Depreciation for 4 FP posted. Asset revalued
with a value date corresponding to FYP 05/2011. Revalued at $2400 with
new useful life of 24 months and new Dep start date corresponding to
start FYP 03. Expected depreciation PM is $100. SAP shows forecasted
monthly depreciation of $108 per month
