My answers are indicated with ->
1) Does it mean that you have more than one depreciation key?
-> Yes we have many depreciation keys, as I far as I know we are obliged.
2) You are correct, the first year must be depreciated only for the 50% of the annual depreciation. Does it mean that if an asset is purchased in February, the depreciation starts only in July? or is the 50% spread out from February - Dec? How did you maintain the period control, with smoothing?
-> In case of purchase in February, we start the depreciation start in February (we use period control is 06 depreciation from the begin of the year) and in depreciation key we put a reduction pf 50% for first year
-> first execution take in account depreciation from the beginning of the year (we don't use smoothing, but it can be decided by your user).
3) There is no requirement for me to separate dep keys for used and new assets. Can you share?
In my opinion the requirement is important: they didn't consider this aspect or they don't purchase used asset. If necessary "used" depreciation key is equal to "new" depreciation key to which you remove the reduction.
Please consider that these rules are fundamental for staturory/tax depreciation keys, for reporting the rules could be different.
A mnemonic naming rule have to be studied to reduce the risk of error for end users. In example vauate with your users (xx=percentage)
SUxx for staturory used
SNxx for statutory new
TNxx for tax new
TUxx for tax used
INxx for internal
Hoping these information are clear and they will give you further help.

Subject: Italy - Asset Accounting - Useful Life and Depreciation Rate
Hi Experts,
I am doing asset accounting for an Italian company. I am not very familiar with the Italian statutory requirements. The link from help sap http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60/helpdata/en/49/2 b4613268c6492e10000000a42189b/frameset.htm does not give me much information either.
I would greatly appreciate if you can enlighten me on the depreciation rate and useful life of asset in compliance with Italian statutory requirements.
My user is telling me that the tax law provides an annual depreciation of 7% for a building. It results to useful life with decimal places (e.g. 13.49). This useful life results to years, periods, and days. We only have useful life in years and periods in SAP. If you have done a project in Italy, did you encounter this requirement and how did you handle?
Thanks. |
