In the Asset Explorer (T-CD: AW01N), Under the tab "planned Values" tab, you can click on the button "Display Dep.calculation" to check the details of the depreciation calculation, but the question is where and how to debug it?

As you konw, the depreciation for asset should be calculated with the formula = Base value * period fact * depreciation rate.

So, to find out the details of the calculation, you will need to know where to find base, and where to find the period fact, and where to find the depreciaiton rate information.

OK, the first step, please go to t-cd: SE24, with the class: CL_FAA_EE like below:
