3065571 - Missing Depreciation Periods in the Fixed Asset's Master Data

You have created/migrated a fixed asset with a standard depreciation method (e.g. L010), however some depreciation periods are missing under Depreciation Overview tab for a given fiscal year.

SAP Business ByDesign.

1. Go to Fixed Assets work center.
2. Go to Fixed Assets view.
3. Find and open the related asset.
4. Go to Values tab.
5. Go to Depreciation Overview.

Notice that some depreciation periods within the fiscal year are missing. For example, the depreciation is calculated every 2 months.

The system has calculated the depreciation for this asset, however the amount in a given fiscal period would be less than e.g. 0.5 cents. Due to arithmetic rounding set up in the valuation view of this asset, the system is rounding the depreciation in the periods and then it accumulates the difference in the subsequent period. Therefore, depending on the amount per period, depreciation can be cumulated in subsequent periods due to rounding.

The rounding rules per valuation view in Business Configuration work center should be reviewed and adjusted, as follows:

1. Go to the Business Configuration work center.
2. Go to the Implementation Projects view.
3. Open the activity list.
4. Find and open activity Fixed Assets Valuation View.
5. Find the concerned valuation view.
6. Go to Rounding Rules tab.

In this tab the related rounding rules can be adjusted and/or deactivated.

After saving the changes in this activity, perform a dummy change in the fixed asset (for example: change the depreciation method) so that the depreciation gets recalculated, or execute the action Values -> Recalculate Adjustment at the fixed asset Values tab, which will have the same result (depreciation values are recalculated).
