the assets defined in Asset Master.
2. There are two kinds of messages that may be displayed after carrying out the test run-errors and warnings. Depreciation of assets can be done without resolving the
warning messages, however, error messages need to be resolved before performing the final depreciation .
3. The checklist includes the following activities:
a) To ensure that the asset is created accurately in SAP
b) To ensure the correctness and accuracy of the depreciation entry passed in the system
4. On a test check basis, the depreciation calculation is verified by L2. Depreciation of provisional capitalization is covered along with provisional capitalization.

Control : 17.1.4.C2 – At the time of the depreciation run carried out by the L1 Officer, SAP automatically calculates the depreciation based on depreciation key &
remaining useful life of the assets defined in Asset Master. SAP does not pick up asset for depreciation if the assets are fully depreciated or the assets have reached
