he depreciation can either be planned or unplanned. Planned depreciation is one which brings down the value of the asset after every planned period; say every month, until the asset value is fully depreciated over its life period. With this method, you will know what the value of the asset at any point of time in its active life. On the contrary, unplanned depreciation is a sudden happening of an event or occurrence not foreseen (there could be a sudden break out of a fire damaging an asset, which forces you to depreciate fully as it is no longer useful economically) resulting in a permanent reduction of the value of the asset.

Use this procedure to post an unplanned depreciation manually. Ordinary depreciation reflects the deduction for wear and tear during the normal use of the asset. Unusual influences, such as damage that leads to a permanent decrease in the value of the asset, are covered by unplanned depreciation.

SAP Assets Accounting Depreciation The depreciation is collectively executed at the company code level. Each asset master contains the necessary information to calculate the depreciation like: Capitalization date Depreciation areas Useful life Scrap Value Asset Value Date The depreciation run is an important periodic processing activity which takes care of calculating depreciation for the assets. This run posts the corresponding transactions in both AA and FI. The depreciation calculation is done through AFAB session and the AFAB posting session posts the different depreciation areas 01 and 15. Test run can be executed for individual asset or entire fixed asset depending upon the requirement. System posts A/c following entry. Dr

The depreciation posting can be done as per following. 1. Planned posting run 2. Repeat 3. Restart 4. Unplanned posting run Planned posting run: It is used to post depreciation of the asset at the end of planned period. The planned period is going to be every month end. Repeat: If we want to post additional depreciation for any additional posting after planned posting run, it can be achieved through repeat posting run. If any asset is booked after planned posting run, depreciation of the same can be posted using repeat run in the same period provided period is open.

Restart: It is used to complete depreciation run which is aborted or not completed due to technical reasons like server is not working during depreciation run. Unplanned: It is used to calculate depreciation other than normally defined planned posting cycle. In case of any gap between the planned posting period, the accumulated depreciation for the gap period can be posted together by the unplanned depreciation run. Manual Value Correction- Unplanned Depreciation: (ABAA) If we want to post additional depreciation which is not considered while depreciation posting run, it can be done through unplanned depreciation. In this case we have to mention amount of depreciation which is not considered against individual asset. This is called as Unplanned depreciation. Asset value date should be on or after capitalization date. Unplanned amount of depreciation posted is initially recorded in Asset module only. It is posted to FI when depreciation run is executed.

Process Fixed Asset Depreciation

Every asset transaction immediately causes a change of the forecasted depreciation. However, it does not immediately cause an update of the depreciation and value adjustment accounts for the balance sheet and profit and loss statements. The planned depreciation is posted to the general ledger when you run the periodic depreciation posting run. This posting run uses a batch input session to post the planned depreciation for each posting level for each individual asset as a lump sum amount.

The calculation and scheduling of depreciation, interest and revaluation are automatically controlled by keys in the system, or you can control them manually using a special posting transaction. In both cases, planned depreciation from Asset Accounting must be periodically posted to the corresponding asset and expense accounts of the general ledger. You carry out this posting using a batch input session. In addition to the various depreciation types, interest and revaluation, this batch input session also posts the allocation and writing off of special reserves. When the system posts depreciation, it creates collective documents. It does not create separate documents for each asset. Depreciation Posting Run is done via transaction code 'AFAB'. The program creates batch input sessions for posting depreciation and interest to the G/L accounts in Financial Accounting and/or to Controlling. Fields Description :Company code : Your Company Code Fiscal Year : Your fiscal year Posting period : Your depreciation period Reason for posting run (choose one) Planned posting run : X (default) List assets : (tick if you want to see the detail) Test run : (tick if you run in test mode else untick for production run) Main asset number : (you can specify certain asset number if you click repeat run or test run) Note : Click the execute button if this is a test run.

A posting to a fixed asset initially causes the planned depreciation to change in Asset Accounting. The accumulated depreciation accounts and depreciation accounts of the balance sheet and profit and loss statement are not updated immediately, however. The total planned depreciation is not posted to Financial Accounting until the periodic depreciation-posting run is executed. The depreciation posting should be run periodically (annually, semi-annually, quarterly, or monthly). When executed as an update run, the program has to be started in the background. The system creates posting documents for each depreciation area and account group in accordance with the posting cycles specified in Customizing. As the posting date, the system uses The last day of the period for normal periods (no special periods) The last day of the fiscal year for special periods

o o

Prerequisites Document type AF has to define for posting depreciation. In definition of the document type, number range 03 has to specify with external number assignment. Also specify that the depreciation in depreciation areas 01 (book depreciation), 03 (reserves for special depreciation), and 20 (cost-accounting depreciation) is posted in the general ledger.

Define the depreciation posting cycle by specifying the length of time in posting periods between two posting runs. The system is set in such a way that depreciation is posted monthly. You do not have to keep strictly to this posting cycle. You can also choose an unplanned depreciation-posting run using an indicator on the initial screen of the depreciation posting run. When you set this indicator, you can skip over several periods and post the total depreciation for all of the skipped periods in one period. The system supports two different procedures for distributing the forecasted depreciation over the posting periods. The difference between the two procedures becomes evident when you process acquisitions within the fiscal year or handle post-capitalization. With the catch-up method, depreciation due on a transaction within the fiscal year (from the depreciation start date, according to period control, up to the current period) is posted in one total. The depreciation posting program posts this amount in the period in which the posting date of the acquisition lies. With the smoothing method, the annual depreciation amount determined is distributed equally over the periods from the current posting period to the year-end. For each depreciation area, you have to specify whether depreciation is to be posted to the cost center and/or to the order. This information is taken from the asset master record and passed on to Financial Accounting as an additional account assignment. For depreciation area 20, the system is set to assign the cost-accounting depreciation and interest to the cost center.

Planned Posting Run You can post to the next period that is specified according to the posting cycle. During a regular posting run of this kind, the system does not allow you to limit the run to particular assets. Repeat Run You can request a repeat posting run for the last period posted. You might need to carry out a repeat run if the depreciation terms were changed for individual assets in connection with the year-end closing, for example. During a repeat posting run, the system only posts the differences that resulted between the first posting run and the repeat posting run. You can limit the run to particular assets.

Restart If a posting run terminated for technical reasons and changes had already been made to the database, you have to restart the program in restart mode. Using the restart mode ensures that all system activities that were interrupted by the termination are repeated.

Unplanned Posting Run If, for whatever reason, you want to skip over one or more posting periods, you can do this by specifying an unplanned posting run. The system then creates postings for all the periods that were skipped, as well as for the period entered. The posting period that you specify, however, must fit into the posting cycle. If you specify period 7 for a quarterly posting cycle, for example, no posting occurs.

Once you have made all the necessary entries, execute the depreciation posting run in the background (Program Execute in Background). You can monitor the job scheduled in the background.

The job always appears under the name RAPOST2000. The Status column shows the current status of the job. Choose Refresh or F8 to update the information. As soon as the status of the job is "Finished", select your job and choose Spool.

To go from the overview to your list, choose F6. When this list was generated, the fixed assets in question were also updated to include the posted depreciation. The planned depreciation for every complex fixed asset is not totaled for each posting level and posted directly to Financial Accounting until the periodic depreciation posting run has been executed. Result The planned depreciation is posted to the accounts defined in Customizing. Note that the system always creates collective documents (not individual documents for each asset) when posting depreciation.
