Generally, the assets in an asset class use the same depreciation terms (depreciation key, useful life). Therefore, you do not have to maintain the depreciation terms in the asset master record. Instead, they can be default values from the asset class.

In this step, you determine the depreciation terms that are to be used in your asset classes. Depending on the definition in the screen layout control used, these depreciation terms are offered either as optional or mandatory defaults when you create an asset.

For each asset class, you can maintain as many charts of depreciation with their depreciation areas as you need. This allows you to use the asset class in all countries belonging to the client.

Requirements

You must have created asset classes.

Standard settings

SAP provides predefined asset classes (1-8).

Activities

  1. Select a chart of depreciation.
  2. Enter the asset class you want to maintain.
  3. Set the depreciation areas to inactive that are not needed in this asset class.
  4. In the area specifications of your asset class, enter depreciation key, useful life, and screen layout rule. You can define screen layout rules for the area specifications in the step Define master data.

    Remember, there is a detail screen for each depreciation area.

Note

Changes to the asset class only affect assets that are created after the change is made. For assets that already existed in the system, and are affected by the changes made at the asset class level, you have to use mass change procedures (see the System Administration Guide: Master Data Maintenance and Reorganization). When changes are made to depreciation terms, the system automatically recalculates depreciation for the assets concerned.
