planned depreciation differs between areas 01 & 02

[Former Member]

Dear all,

I have an asset which has value of 234, 04 BRL and 10 years as usefull life.

It has 2 depreciation areas, the main one (BRGAAP in BRL) and the second one is USD. Both areas have the same depreciation key/parameters.

Asset was acquired in Jan/2014, and the depreciation start on the following month (feb/2014). The currency exchange is 1:1 (thus, 234,04 in BRL and USD).

In area 1 (BRL) the system calculates 1,95 BRL from 02.2014 until 12.2014.

in area 2 (USD) however the system calculates 2,04 in 02.2014, and 2,00 from 03.2014 till 12.2014.

How can I set area 02 to have the same planned depreciation as area 01?

Dear all,

the problem was that area 02 (USD) had - and only in area 02 - the following options flagged in OAYO:

-Net book value at year end

-Replacement value

Thus, as soon as I've removed those flags the planned depreciation for both areas were the same

thank you all;

Hi,

As you said u have assigned same Dep Key to both Dep. area.

You are saying there is no difference in currency BRL and USD exchange rate which is different and seems difficult and could be a major coz.(this will be different values for posting)

Assuming above thing correct

1) Check if Both Dep area are having all same parameters.
2) Check useful life is been set same for both dep. areas.
3) Check dep. start date.

These checks should lead to identifying real coz.

Thanks

Dear Vishwanath,

Both areas have the same:

1- Depreciation key

2- Depreciation start date

3- Useful life

4- acquisition posting value (234,04)

In AW01N I've displayed the characteristics of both areas (in parameters folder, button: Display depreciation key), and they're exactly the same (all methods are the same, the phases, etc).

The different characteristic is the planned depreciation value for each year.

ex.

-Dep. Area 01 (BRL) has 21,45 planned for the first year (1,95 from 02.2014 to 12.2014).

-Dep. Area 02 (USD) has 22,04 planned for the first year (2,04 in 02.2014 and 2,00 from 03.2014 to 12.2014).

How could I set the depreciation of area 02 to be the same as area 01?

Hi

Please check if the period control for both depreciation areas the same?

Depreciation calculation depends up on the period control in the Depreciation Key.

Thanks
