You use this report to upload Opening Written Down Value (WDV) of the asset block at the beginning of a scal year (April –
March) from a spreadsheet application to standard SAP ERP system.
This report reads the opening WDV of an asset block from a spreadsheet and updates the table FI-AA India : Opening WDV for
the blocks - Transactions (IDIN_FIAA_OWDV) with these details.

Depreciation Calculation
You use this function to calculate depreciation of asset blocks as per the income tax laws in India.
The income tax laws require you to depreciate asset blocks. In other words, you do not calculate depreciation of individual
assets. Instead, an asset block has its own Written Down Value (WDV) and you calculate depreciation on an asset block's WDV.
The asset block’s WDV increases when you add assets to it and decreases when you sell or retire assets.
Since an asset block may exist for a very long time, as you add new assets to it, it has an unrestricted useful life.
For depreciation calculation of an asset block, you assign depreciation rate (prescribed by the government) to the asset block.
For example, assume your company has four trucks. At the beginning of scal 2009, the trucks have a total written down value,
for income tax purposes, of INR 300,000. At the end of the year, with no acquisitions and no retirements. The total depreciation
on all of the trucks is 10% of INR 300,000, or INR 30,000. The total written down value of the block at the beginning of 20*2 is
therefore INR 270,000.

Reports
The system provides the following depreciation calculation reports for India:
Use
Use this transaction to assign opening Written Down Value (WDV) to the asset blocks. The system uses the opening WDV value
for depreciation calculation of an asset block.
Note
You can assign opening WDV to an asset block only once. You can assign opening WDV either while you are creating a new
asset block or while you are migrating your existing asset block details to the standard system. If you are creating a new
asset block, maintain the opening WDV as zero.
Activities

Use
Use this report to make adjustments to opening Written Down Value (WDV) or transactions of an asset block.
If there have been any changes to opening WDV value or transaction amounts of an asset block for a period, and you want to
update the values in the database, you can do so using this report. This report updates the Asset Block Transaction
(IDIN_ASSETTRNS) ) table with the changed values.
The system uses the updated values during depreciation calculation of the asset block.

Asset marked as prior year asset
If you have an asset that belongs to a prior year and if you want that the transactions done for this asset should not be consider
for depreciation calculation but only for information purpose. Then you can mark this asset as Asset belonging to prior year in
the asset master transaction (AS02). On doing so the system displays transactions for this asset in the Asset Block
Transaction (IDIN_ASSETTRNS) table from the period it is entered until the end of the scal year only for information purpose.

For calculating transaction amount for a specic period, the report cumulates amounts of all the previous periods until
the specic period.
For example, consider you want that you want to calculate transaction amount for period 02. The transaction amount of
period 01 is 1000 INR and of period 02 is 2000 INR. The system cumulates the values of period 01 and 02 and displays
asset block transaction amount for period 02 as 3000 INR (1000+2000).
Re-run
For recalculating asset block value for a specic period, the report recalculates all the asset transactions from a specic
period until the period for which the block is already processed. The report does this to ensure that the transaction
amounts for all the periods are up to date.
For example, consider that you have calculated transaction amount of an asset block B1 until period 06. Now there are
changes to asset block B1 due to which you need to recalculate value of asset block B1 for period 04. So on the report
selection screen, you specify the period as 04 and select re-run. The report will recalculate the transaction amounts of
asset block B1 not just for period 04 but until period 06, because the changes in period 04 will aect period 05 and 06
values.
Execution mode
Normal run
In this mode the report calculates and displays asset block transaction amount and also updates transaction amount in
the Asset Block Transaction (IDIN_ASSETTRNS) table.
Note
If you are executing this report for the rst time, the report calculates the transaction amount for all the periods from
the beginning of the scal year until the period specied by you on the selection screen.
For example, if you are running this report for the rst time in period 03 and so on the selection screen you enter the
period as 03, then the report will calculate transaction amount for period 01, 02, 03 and displays the cumulative
transaction amount for period 03.
Test run
In this mode the report calculates and displays asset block transaction amount for a specic period but does not update
the Asset Block Transaction (IDIN_ASSETTRNS) table
Re- run
In this mode the report recalculates value of an asset block for a specic period and updates the Asset Block
Transaction (IDIN_ASSETTRNS) table.
If there have been changes to asset block value for a period and you want to update the Asset Block Transaction
(IDIN_ASSETTRNS) table with the updated value, you can do so by executing this report in the re-run mode.
The report then re-runs for the period and performs the following functions:
Captures the new values of acquisitions, retirements, transfers, credit memo, post capitalization, investment
support values
Displays a comparison of the old values and new values and updates the Asset Block Transaction
(IDIN_ASSETTRNS) table with the new values

does not update the Asset Block Transaction table. If you have not selected this option, that is you are executing the
report in the normal mode, the report displays the following messages in an application log:
Success message if the Asset Block Transaction (IDIN_ASSETTRNS) table was updated successfully
Error or warning message if the Asset Block Transaction (IDIN_ASSETTRNS) table was not updated successfully
If you have selected the Re-run checkbox, the report re-runs for the period and updates the Asset Block Transaction
(IDIN_ASSETTRNS) table with the changed values.
If you have selected both Test Run and Re-run checkboxes, then the report captures the new values of asset transactions
and displays a comparison of the old values and new values.
Note
If you select this option the report neither updates the Asset Block Transaction (IDIN_ASSETTRNS) table, nor it
