Hi Juhi

You can create a new depreciation key with the transaction code(TC)  AFAMA, there are two methods available:  Base method and multilevel method.

Generally speaking Depreciation is calculated by:

Base value * Period factor * Percentage = depreciation

The percentage was come from base method and multilevel method in the depreciation key. If base method is defined as 'stated percentage', the system will check the percentage from multilevel method.

If base method is defined as 'percentage from useful life', it will calculate the percentage base on the useful life.

After the activation, you can change the depreciation key in TC AS02 for the asset, and then recalculate it via Edit-> Recalculate values.

After recalculation, you can see the expected depreciation in AW01N.

Also in the useful life the remaining useful life of asset needs to be maintained in Asset Master.
