AFAB planned depreciation and S_ALR_87012936 planned dep not matching

[Former Member]

Hi experts,

We executed AFAB in test run and found that planned amount for depreciation/interest is 40,146,239.13-, we executed report S_ALR_87012936  where planned depreciation is 40,565,979.53.

Please help why we have different values in two standard report?

Thanks and Regards,

Hi Mukhtar,

We executed AFAB for fiscal year 2014, period 1. We executed S_ALR_87012936 for reporting date 30.04.2014.

We also checked OARP>depreciation list>>RAHAFA_A depreciation report for report date 30.04.2014

Any idea why depreciation TBP of AFAB is not matching with planned depreciation of these reports?

Thanks and Regards,

Hi Anurag,

The difference between these 2 reports due to suppose if you have run the depreciation upto Dec 2014 and you have captured the asset on 01.04.2014 and calculate the depreciation for the asset from 01.04.2014, but actually you have already run the depreciation till Dec'2014, then the system will post the depreciation upto Dec'2014 lump sum in the next posting run of the asset. As per AFAB the system will display the depreciation from Apr to Jan'2015 but the report S_ALR_87012936 split the depreciation periodically and for Jan month it shows the depreciation for that month only. Due to this the difference araised between them.

Hi Mukhtar,

Let's assume if depreciation on an asset is 10,000 till december in below example‎. Now if we will execute afab for Jan, afab amount tbp will be 10,000+jan month dep??

Where as t-code S_alr_87012936 will show result periodically i.e individually in all the periods?

In our case, till now we have not executed AFAB for any period in FY 2014. We want to validate the depreciation amount shown in test run for 1st period of 2014 in AFAB before executing it in live/production mode.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi Anurag,

Yes, you are correct. The report S_ALR_87012936 shows the depreciation periodically where as AFAB displays total depreciation posted on period. It includes previous period depreciation also if you have capitalized the asset after last depreciation posted.

If you have not run any depreciation, then it should match. Run the depreciation for each period and compare it with the report S_ALR_87012936.

Hi Mukhtar,

Your posts were very helpful. In addition when checked there were more than 6000 assets and online processing permits only 1000 assets at a time whereas S_ALR_87012936 considered all assets at a time. Due to this reason depreciation amount mismatched.

Thanks and Regards,
