Depreciation not posted in a certain period

[Former Member]

Hi,

We have posted depreciation for Period 1 in 2015, after this we are not able to post depreciation in period.  The system shows posting period 3 in planned posting but not period 2.  Is this a system error, should i raise OSS note with SAP for this issue.

Hi Mukthar,

It might impact the amount of depreciation posted in each period, but will it have an impact like posting the entire years depreciation in one month.

Hi Satesh,

It will impact from all open fiscal years. Suppose your last closed fiscal year is 2013 in AA, if you change the useful life for the asset in 2014, then the depreciation changes will impact from 2014 onwards. If you have already posted the depreciation till Jan month, then what ever difference from Apr'2014 to Jan'2014 for the depreciation, will adjust in the Feb month. It won't recalculate the depreciation for closed fiscal years.

Hi Mahmood/Mukthar,

Yesterday I did some more study and found the following.

1. The asset was newly created in Jan 2015

2. When the depreciation run was done in Jan 2015, the system posted depreciation run for the entire year in period 1 itself.

3. The row for period 2 (Feb in this case was not appearing)

4. The posting periods 3-12 had "0" as the planned posting value.

what i think might be the problem is while running the depreciation, we might have selected something different in the reason for posting run other than 'planned posting run'

-planned posting run

-repeat

-restart

-unplanned posting run

I am not sure which one, but will this affect posting the entire years depreciation in one period.  could this be the reason.

Hi Sathesh,

Check the multi level method of the depreciation key in AFAMS or share screen shot of the key. However, which depreciation method are using whether percentage or based on use ful life. If it is based on use ful life, then check the useful life maintained for the asset.

Hi Mukthar,

Here is the screen short of the key.  The expired usefull lifeis 2years 3 months, the remaining useful life is 4 years 9 months.

Hi Sathesh,

Check the posting rules maintained for the co.code in OAYR? And also share screen shot of the AW01N for the asset.

Hi Mukthar,

The posting rule says the it is a Monthly posting.  I have attached the screen shot below.  I have a doubt, if there is any change in the orginal useful life and remaining useful life have some impact here.

For  your information the row Period 2 is visible now because, we posted an adjust entry 2,961,763 in the unplanned depreciation.

Hi Sathesh,

If change useful life of the asset, then definitely it impacts on the depreciation.

Hi Sathesh,

Does it for only one asset or all? And also let me know when you run the depreciation in AFAB for period 2, does system throw any error message?
