New depreciation area

[Former Member]

Hi

I need urgent help. I created new dep area for reporting purpose. I assigned area 10 for the APC value in OABC for. For depreciation terms, i have not assigned any area. I want that it should take value of new dep terms which i assigned in asset class OAYZ so at the time of activation in AFBN i tick the dep term from asset class. But new area is taking the value from dep area 10 for APC as well as for Accumulated depreciaion.

I only want that new area should take APC value not the accumulated depreciation. So please let me know if there is any setting or any solution so that new area should take the value from depreciaiton key which we assigned to new area not from the existing area.

Thanks

Hi pooja,

did you define the depreciation type for the depreciation area and define how the depreciation should (not) be posted to your new depreciation area?

You have to define also your replacement values for your depreciation area, based on the Apc values and depreciation on periodic basis

Hi

I created the dep area only for reporting purpose. I assigned the dep key ACE and did the configuration...But asset is taking the value for accumulated dep from existing area not from the key which we defined for that dep area in OAYZ.

Where we have to define that depreciation should not be posted from existing dep area but should calculate from the dep key for prior years

Dear,

Define OADB -> G/L = "0" - Area doesn´t post. Follow above transactions to have your Transaction Type.

There are lots of screen shot...I have problem with accumulated depreciation which is also coming from dep area which i assigned in for APC only..In depreciation term i have not assigned any dep area but it's still taking all the values from that area not from the dep key..When i am doing recalculation of depreciation..nothing is coming up

[nishan_dev]

Pooja,

Did you maintain the configuration at

IMG/AA / Valuation / Depreciation Area / Define Depreciation Area as "Positng in G/L" number 5 ---- Area Post APC only ?

mean while I am checking other setting too, can you confirm this ?

Thanks

But Nishan we don't want to post it in Financial accounting. It's for only reporting purpose. I assigned 0. Do you think i still need to assign 5

[nishan_dev]

Change it to 5 and let me know what error  you see, is  it asking for Account assignment after that ?

Let see, it no harm in testing it.

[Former Member]

I did that. It's not giving any error message..But still it's taking planned value both same as area 10. I am doing all the configuration in Sandbox after deleting new area and adding it again. So that it should take effect of the config which i am changing

Pooja,

Ok, this will solve you issue most, Keep the setting same as  IMG/AA / Valuation / Depreciation Area / Define Depreciation Area as 0 ,

After that double click that depreciation area - and make changes under Value Maintenance.

Only allow  Acquisition Value - and rest all of them do No Value allowed.

Please try this and let me know, I have spend quite alot time on solving this issue ?

Thanks,

Thanks for your time and reply. I did all the settings. Now it's not taking any value for depreciation.  But problem is that we want depreciation but it should be calculated as per dep key which we assigned in new dep area. It's not that there should not be any depreciation.

Currently system is taking the value of accumulated depreciation from area which we specify in OABC. We want only APC should be from that area and depreciation for prior years should be calculated as per depreciation key which we defined for new area.

If you will give your email id, i can forward all the details with screen shot. I am sorry if there is any confusion.

No Nishan..Problem is not resolved..I don't see your email id. Please send me email on my email id guptpooja@gmail.com..So that i can send you the details.

Pooja, as I have told you have to post manualy this acumulated depreciation using a specific transaction type. You can process by LSMW your 10k records.

Discussion to be checked

In paralel you can manage you reporting error to SAP. Thus you may have a different analysis.

Pooja,

Frist of all check OADB and check yout Posting in G/L.

you could also check your depreciation key. Your transaction type must be in group 70 - Write-up special and ord. depreciation.

OAYZ                 Asset class:  Depreciation areas

AFAMA              View Maint. for Deprec. Key Method

OAXD                Deprec. areas for transaction types

OA74                 Define Transaction Type
