3700308 - Depreciation Calculation After Revaluation in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Symptom

After posting a revaluation, the system updates the planned depreciation amount.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to the Manage Fixed Asset app.
  2. Search for fixed asset ID: AAA (AAA represents the fixed asset ID).
  3. Check the depreciation amount in Period BBB is updated after performing a revaluation (BBB represents the period).

Cause

Example:

  • Verify the depreciation key is: "IND5 (IN Str.-line over rem. use. (with Cut off 5%))".
  • Confirm the period control method is: "006: 01/01/01/01".
  • The system uses period control method 01 (“pro rata at period start”) from the revaluation setting: The depreciation start/end date is always set to the beginning of the period in which the asset value date for the transaction lies.  

Resolution

The depreciation amount is calculated as expected, here is the calculation logic:

  • Depreciation amount = base value * period factor * percentage.
  • Base value = Net book value at start of fiscal year + revaluation - Salvage value - already depreciated value.
  • Period factor is the ratio of periods (e.g the period includes Jan to Aug, and the period factor is 8/12).
  • Percentage is related to the useful life and the expired useful life (e.g the expired useful life is 0 year 7 periods, the useful life is 5 year, and the percentage is 12/ (60-7)).
