Hi.

According to me you first check whether the previous asset fiscal

year is closed or not. As if the last fiscal year is open then system
will show some planned value in asset explorer for last year also
after changing the depreciation key. Here you have to make
changes in the Asset master through T-Code AS02 of making the
useful life of asset as 5 years and then also assign the depreciation
key of 'LINR' to the asset master. Then kindly check in asset
explorer whether your requirement is sufficed or not. Else you can
also execute ABAA for unplanned depreciation of the difference
amount and by this your issue will be resolved.

Regards,

Malhar.

Thanks for reply

As I have said that retrospective effect to be given to the last open

fiscal year ie 2013 .but is it "LINR", percentage is calculated from
remaining life . LINR is not fulfilling the requirement.

We like to know that how we can make Sap to calculated

differential Dep amount as retrospective process in the open fiscal
year .

thanks

HI Priyanka.

You have to create new depreciation key, the base method will be used accordingly ( base
method 0011,0017) , next thing you have to change is multilevel method.

You have todefine life of asset in Asset Master.

System will post depreciation as per the new depreciation key.

The rest is the differential Depreciation amount which can be posted according to catch
up method ( posted in first month) or smoothing (distribution of amount to rest of life).

Hope this would help you.

Thanks for your reply ...but I like to have few more detail other that
the information you have given below:-

New Depreciation Key Phase 1 Base Method = 0011

Depreciation Key Phase 2 Base method = 0017

Can you give me the idea about the AFAMS setting , the Multilevel
method is used in depreciation key ? like ..

a. Multi level method and it's validity start indicator

b.In Levels , what will be the base val.

c. To post the Net differential amount [ with retrospective effect] in

the year in which we are changing the method .[ 2013] ...Is
"smoothing " option under Depreciation area will post the value as
per my attachment value of Rs 3027 or not?

Thanks

Hi Priyanka

As per me,

1. Change the dep key to a Kay based on Useful life

2. This will post the differential depreciation to the extent of Current

Year (2013 in your case) in the next depreciation run

3. For the differential depreciation pertaining to previous years,

post unplanned depreciation

Differential dep in Pt 2 and 3 should total to 3027

Hi

There are many LINA, LINR..etc

It all depends on the Base Method of your Dep. Key.. I think for useful life it is 0011 and
0007

Hi..

We have taken "LINK" dep key in which base method is " 7 " and
multi level method is "10" with validity "2" , which is "validation fro
start date" And Level of multilevel method "10"' , Base VAl is "03"
which is "Replacement" value .

Copied LINK as MINK and Multi level method "10" as "26" and
changed "validity as "1" which is from "Capitalised Date" from "2"
and assigned to Asset.

Few detail are given below for more clarity .

Hi Priyanka,

Copy this keyand create new one with base method 0011 and multilevel method 003.
Check the same.

Define the uselife in Asset and check the depreciation behaviour.

Check the same. you will get the desired result.

HI Priyanaka

Why have you used acquisition period control as 04.

It should be 01.

Check the same and revert.

Hi Priyanka,

I have done these changes comprehensivley by using the same approch.

Check the settings again. Check the period control method.

Check the yearly comparision , asset net book value comes zero in 2015. Is system
showing the right behaviour.

Check the same.

Hi

In connection to my requirement , Business want depreciation

from useful life so that as you have said that by using this regular
depreciation , we can get and for retrospective , will run unplanned
dep.

Dep to be calculated based on use life - straight line method..

LINR and LINS is not fulfilling the requirement.
