Specify Other Versions on Depreciation Area Level Not work

[emma_c1]

Hi Expert,

I'd like to use Specify Other Versions on Depreciation Area Level in system. I set FYV Z1  and ZZ with start date and end date. (Ex: FY2011, Sept. 29th 2011 to Sept. 28th 2015 Non-calendar date)

FV	Year	Month	Calendar Day	Period	FY	FV	Year	Month	Calendar Day	Period
Z1	2011	9	28	12	2011	ZZ	2011	9	28	12
Z1	2011	10	28	1	2012	ZZ	2011	9	30	1
Z1	2011	12	2	2		ZZ	2011	12	2	2
Z1	2011	12	30	3		ZZ	2011	12	30	3
Z1	2011	12	31	4		ZZ	2011	12	31	4
Z1	2012	1	27	4		ZZ	2012	1	27	4
Z1	2012	3	2	5		ZZ	2012	3	2	5
Z1	2012	3	30	6		ZZ	2012	3	30	6
Z1	2012	4	27	7		ZZ	2012	4	27	7
Z1	2012	6	1	8		ZZ	2012	6	1	8
Z1	2012	6	29	9		ZZ	2012	6	29	9
Z1	2012	7	27	10		ZZ	2012	7	27	10
Z1	2012	8	31	11		ZZ	2012	8	31	11
Z1	2012	9	28	12		ZZ	2012	9	28	12

Dep. area 01 use Z1. (Same as FYV in company code. therefore, the setting is blank.)

Dep. area 38 use Z1. (Same as FYV in company code. therefore, the setting is blank.)

Dep. area 40 use ZZ. (For local legal dep.)

Dep. area 38 and 40 use the same dep. key Z005 (dep. to the day).

But the plan dep. amount for P1, FY15 for dep. area 38 and 40 still the same. (from Sept. 29th 2011 to Oct. 28th 2011)

That mean system still use FYV Z1 to calculate plan amount for dep. area 40.

I checked through config. many times, but can't found anything wrong and didn't find any related examples in SDN discussion.

Am I missing any setting?

Thanks

Hi,

Our SAP system only use special purpose ledger not use New GL. (We use SAP for a long time for other entities, all new entities still need to rollout with SPL)

Component version    EHP7 for SAP ERP 6.0

The reason I set up 1st period from Sept. 29th to Sept. 30th, 2011 is that I'd like system to calculate the depreciation amount. Then user can use AR03 report to know total amount (by cost center) and do manual adjustment for yearly legal reporting purpose.

I know notes 1175751 with MCC solution but it's not user wanted and the solution even have to post unplanned depreciation manually in MCC.

Actually before I raise the discussion, I've already searched SAP notes several days but still can't find related answer. Maybe it's because I searched for the wrong direction.

It would be appreciated any other feedback.

Thanks

Where did you see that you can use a FYV at a depreciation area level that has a beginning and ending date different than the FYV that is assigned to the co code?

SAP addresses that in Note 1175751.  You don't want to use that.  Note 1951069 also addresses the use of different FYV (but you're not using different ledgers).

Hi Lidia,

Actually, I set the same start date and end date for FYV Z1 and ZZ. The only difference is the date range in P1 and P2, 2011.

Based on above link, SAP help did mention that period 1 end date can be different.

However, even if I set dep. area 40 for ZZ the system still use Z1 to calculated dep. amount in Z1.

You can specify a different FYV by depreciation area.  However, the beginning of the FY and the end of the FY must be the same dates as in the FYV assigned to the company code.  The individual periods within the FYV can be defined differently but 1st day and last day of the FYV must be the same

Please search the discussion boards and SAP notes.  There is much written about this topic.

Look at SAP note: 844029 as a start.  If you are using "new" asset accounting there are differences.
