Changing depreciation Key after year closing

Former Member

Dear Gurus,

after setting a dep KEY with a percentage of 0%, and by using t code ABAA i have at the end of the year a planned dep = 0 and a unplanned dep =  X.

After running AFAB in 31.12 i post the X depreciation.

If after that in 01.01 i wish to change DEP KEY in order to have a planned dep, system would allow me to do that? The old year value X would be mantained?

Thanks

Hi,

If you have posted 100% amount as unplanned depreciation then it will not allow unless you have kept yes in the configuration for depreciation after NBV zero in Base Method in Depreciation Key. Else system will allow.

Dear Malhar,

then according to your answer, having this situation in 31.12:

when i run AFAB and close 2015 my asset will have a residual value of 12.000.

In 01.01.2016 i will be able to change dep key to fix percentage  12% and the system will calculate at the end of the year the 12% of initial value 13.000?

EXAMPLE:

31.12.2015   RESIDUAL VALUE = 12.000 (DEP KEY 0%, MANUAL UNPLANNED OF 1000)

31.12.2016  RESIDUAL VALUE =  12.000 - (12% OF 13.000) = 10.440

Thanks

Hi Gianni,

Yes, it will calculate as per new dep.key on residual amount.

Dear Mukthar,

to understand better your answer:

then when in 01.01.2016 i will change dep key, in the 31.12.2016 the depreciation will be the 12% of the original value (13.000) and NOT the 12% of the residual value of the year 2015 (12.000)?

Thanks

Hi,

At year end and start of new year, if you have posted all the depreciation then you are able to change the depreciation key .

Dear Nitin,

thanks for your answer.

my doubt now is about the calcus of the new dep key which i set at the start of the year.

Since i use a percentage of 12% from 01.01.2016 i wonder if the 12% is calculated on historical value of the asset: 13.000 or it is calculated on residual value of 31.12.2015?

Thanks

Hi,

It is up to to your depreciation key configuration where you can calculate depreciation on net book value or acquisition value. you can configure whatver you required as per depreciation calculation key.
