negative depreciation in fixed asset

[Former Member]

Hi All

I am new to this add-on and I need to migrate the asset from MyOB to SAP B1

I found a negative amount in Ordinary Depr.

I use all the default tape, area and classe

will the posting period affect it?

Master:

The Capitalization Date =12.03.09

Book depreciation

acquistion:

posting date=document date=15.03.12

Please show me what is the wrong setting I have made.

Hi,

What is the LINP calculation method ? is it net book value / remaining life or not ? is there percentage ?

The ordinary depreciation is negative because the life parameter is probably negative after the acquisition.

The life parameters are Depr. Start Date, Useful Life and Remaining Life.

Hi JimM

I guess it is due to the single period in a year

Then I create a new 12 month posting period 01/07/2009-30/06/2010 for the test purpose.

And I create a new asset master and a acquisition and posting in new posting period.

the test2 asset and has postive depreciation, however, I can't continous depreciate in next year. Where is the wrong setting? Thx

hello,

In 2009-2010, the ordinary depreciation (ODP) is correct. The formula is Acquisition value / Remaining life * 12.

In new year, the asset seems not roll over or roll forward yet. That's make the ordinary depreciation can't be continued.

Have you performed the fixed asset year end closing ?

Thanks JimM

After I fiscal year change, it bring the depreciation to next year. Note that it is only one ($333) depreciated ( i guess it is due to single period for 2010).

Hi Gary,

Do you mean the year 2010 setup as only one period? How about some other years?

Thanks, Gordon

Hi Gordon

Yes! It is what I mean. 12 period in 2009-2010 , 1 period in 2010-2011 and 1 period in 2011-2012.

thx

In this case, FA has no way to give you correct result. Periods setup must be consistent.

[former_member186095]

That's correct. The depreciation will be brought to the next period.

The ordinary depreciation is calculated based on the formula : NBV / remaining life * a number of months in the one fiscal year.

I have explained that in 2009-2010, the ordinary depreciation is positive and its value based on the the formula I mentioned above.

Negative ordinary depreciation is affected by net book value, remaining life and the fixed asset fiscal year (fixed asset periods).

Rgds,

JimM
