Hi
In SAP usually depreciation is calculated periodically and the periodicity
could be one of the following:
Monthly / Bi Monthly / Quarterly / Half Yearly / Annual
In practice, I have seen most organizations executing monthly depreciation
since they would be generating financial statements on a monthly basis (mostly for bank requirements and internal audit requirements).
What do you do in your organization? Don' t you run monthly financial
statements? If you do so, then the question of calculating past
depreciation is unlikely to arise (unless some asset acquired in the past
was omitted to be accounted and you want it accounted now). Or...... do
you refrain from generating monthly financial statements?
I suppose that you could run past depreciation, at least theoretically (I
have not had the opportunity to do so) by creating a depreciation key
which uses a period control key wherein depreciation start date can be back
dated for acquisitions) . I guess you could perhaps try it out , though I
have no first hand experience of such an exercise.
Regards,

Subject: Develop a Depreciation Key to Start from Acquisition Date
Hi,
We would like to develop a depreciation key, whereby the depreciation should be calculated from the acquisition date which is in past.
The past depreciation calculation should be included in the first depreciation.
Please advice how to go about it. |
