AFAR - Recalculation of Depreciation

TOPIC OBJECTIVES

Business Process Procedure Overview


Background
This program enables you to recalculate planned annual depreciation using the depreciation
terms that are valid at the time that you start the report. You can also run the report in test
mode. However, you can only recalculate planned depreciation for fiscal years that are still
open.
After the system recalculates the planned annual depreciation, it creates a statistical log with
the total number of assets processed and the number of assets with errors. You can check the
assets with errors using the asset value display transaction.

Scenario
This might be necessary if:
 You have changed depreciation keys.
 You have made mass changes that you programmed yourself, and these changes
affected data relevant to depreciation.
 You want to calculate subsequent revaluation (after the legacy data transfer is closed)
using current index figures. In order to correctly calculate replacement values,
however, you can only use index series that calculate historically.

Prerequisites
None
