Theaboveexamplefromtheslidecontainsthefollowingdepreciationtermsand
information:
• Depreciation key LINA: straight-line from replacement value, pro rata
temporis, with curb and interest
• Ord. dep. start: Feb1YYYY→Depreciationandinterestinyear1: 11/12
of the annual value.
• Index: 103%forAPC(=>thecalculationof depreciationfromthesecond
year isbased on theindexedreplacement value)
• Interest: 10percentinterestonhalftheacquisitionvalue
• Automatic calculation:
– Depreciationafterplannedlifeend: Thisindicatesthatyouwantthe
systemtocontinuedepreciationaftertheendoftheplannedusefullife.
– Depreciation below book value: Set this indicator if you want the
system to continue depreciation after the book value is zero. The
depreciationareamustallownegativenetbookvalue(=>achangeover
key may be used).
– Effective life after planned end (=> with curb): The actual, not the
plannedlifedeterminestherateofdepreciation.
Example: Theusefullifeis10years,sothereisdepreciationof1/10
eachyear. Thisindicatorreducesthedepreciationrateof1/10ofthe
APCto1/11inthe11thyear,andsoon,sothatthedepreciationamount

Exercise 10: Valuation and Depreciation
Exercise Objectives
After completingthisexercise, youwillbeableto:
• Analyze depreciation areas
• Analyze(masterdata)changesofdepreciationterms
• Understand and maintain depreciation keys
• Understandandcontrolthecalculationofdepreciationamounts
• Execute and analyze the depreciation run
Business Example
Initial tests with FI-AA have been completed. Assets have been created and
postedto. YounowwanttoprovidesupporttotheAssetAccountingdepartment
during month-end closing.
Task 1:
Complete the following task.
1. First, check in the IMG which depreciation areas in your chart of
depreciationAA##allowordinarydepreciation.
Hint: Pleasedonotchangeanyoftheentries.
Task 2:
Complete the following tasks.
1. Post€12,000onJanuary01,CYtooneofyourmasterrecordsofclass
3000(=>fixturesandfittings)thatdatahasnotbeenpostedtosofar.
2. If you now start the Asset Explorer, you will see that the system shows
a planned depreciation of 4,000 for the current year because of the
depreciationkeyLINR inarea01. Isthatthecase?
3. In change mode, go to the master record of the asset and change the
depreciation key (at least) in depreciation areas 01 and 02 of LINR to
LINK.Beforeyouconfirmthechanges,reducetheusefullifefrom3to2
years(also indepreciation areas01 and 02).
Save the changes and read the warning messages that the system
displays all the way through, by calling up the warning messages with
