Remarks:
1) This solution is valid only for new depreciation engine (which can be used when the
Financial Extension (software component EA_FIN) is activated).
2) New depreciation engine is available from SAP ERP 6.0 SP05 and above
3) For WDV assets, which do not have any scrap value maintained, it will not reach exact 0
at the end of useful life. It will reach near to 0 value.
1) Creation of the new depreciation key for SLM (Remaining useful life):
Make sure that you create a depreciation key as follows for the new legal requirement.
i.
If the setting is different for the base method 011 in your system, please create your own base
method with the following settings and assign to the new depreciation key
ii.
If the setting is different for the declining balance method 001 in your system, please create
your own method with the following settings and assign to the new depreciation key
iii.
As per the legal requirement, all transactions should be effective from that particular date, so
the period control method for all transactions should be 01.
iv.
If the setting is different for the multilevel method 001 in your system, please create your own
multilevel method with the following settings and assign to the new depreciation key
Save and activate the depreciation key with the following settings
Changeover method: No changeover (0) or blank.
Multiple shift: Increase in depreciation and expired useful life
Scrap value: Base value is reduced by scrap value amount if you want to consider the scrap
value from the beginning itself. If you do not want to consider the scrap value at the beginning,
set Consideration is controlled by cutoff value key.
Shut down: Yes / No based on the requirements.
v.
Double click on the depreciation key and click on the button More intervals which is coming at
the bottom of the screen.
Add new interval valid from 01.04.2014. Assign the new depreciation key there.
Save master data and recalculate the values. Go to asset explorer and check the comparisons
tab
From 2014 onwards, the system is following straight line depreciation on remaining useful life.
i.
Make sure that the country specific method (1) is used in Depreciation method
ii.
iii.
iv.
Multilevel method
v.
Save and activate the depreciation key with the following settings
Changeover method: No changeover (0) or blank.
Multiple shift: Increase in depreciation and expired useful life
Scrap value: Base value is reduced by scrap value amount if you want to consider the scrap
value from the beginning itself. If you do not want to consider the scrap value at the beginning,
set Consideration is controlled by cutoff value key.
Shut down: Yes / No based on the requirements.
vi.
Go to AS02 depreciation area tab and double click on the depreciation key.
Click on Add interval button and add a new interval valid from 01.04.2014 with the new
depreciation key and scrap value.
Save and recalculate the values for the asset and check the asset explorer. More scenarios for
WDV is listed in the attachment Scenarios_for_companies_act_LC_2014.PDF
3) Mass change functionality to add new depreciation key level in the asset master data
BAPI (needs own program) or mass change functionality can be used to add new intervals of
time dependent data. Both BAPI and mass change functionality have been enhanced and
support ANLBZA changes now. The following notes can be used for your reference.
1491266 - Changing time-dependent depreciation terms using BAPI
1519278 - Mass data change/reporting - substitution ANLBZA
1564907 - Mass data change/reporting - substitution ANLBZA (II)
2018032 - BAPI_FIXEDASSET_CHANGE: change expired useful life (error message BAPI1022 004)
i.
Asset class + Chart of depreciation + Area level , maintain how to check LVA (No check /
Check with quantity / Check without quantity)
ii.
Maintain the maximum amount for the low value asset at Company code + Depreciation
area level. This is not done at asset class level.
The above settings are not time-dependent. So, the customers have to use any of the following
three options:
a) Change the maximum amount for LVA from the setting b) once they are done with Fiscal
year 13-14 reporting and year end closing.
OR
b) Change the asset class setting mentioned in step a) into No check for the LVA asset
class once they are done with Fiscal year 13-14 reporting and year end closing.
OR
c) If you cannot close the fiscal year before doing this change, you have to create a new
asset class where setting a) will be with No Check and all new assets will be created
under this new asset class.
In case of double shift from 2014 onwards, please maintain the following entries. Go to timedependent tab in asset master data and click on more intervals button. Add a new interval with
shift factor as 2 from 01.04.2014 onwards.
Make sure that the depreciation key has the following customization in the field Multiple shift.
Go to asset explorer and check the values. Do recalculate values option if required.
If the double shift is only applicable for one month, change the shift factor by adding additional
time interval in time-dependent data of master data only for that month.
The following G/L accounts has to be maintained properly in the following path.
Update the asset master data with the new useful life
iii.
Post unplanned depreciation using transaction code: ABAA for the net book value
reduced by scrap amount.
Transaction type for prior year acquisition: 640
Transaction type for current year acquisition: 650
