In the following step, you define the simulation verstions for depreciation reports. You can enter a simulation version when you start a standard depreciation list. The report is then executed with simulated depreciation terms.

All depreciation lists that allow the use of simulation versions show the simulation version that was used in the page header of the list. You can also request a list of all the replacement rules that were used in the simulation (by pressing F2 = choose). You can also print this list.

Example

You can simulate how depreciation would look if you used declining-balance depreciation instead of straight-line depreciation for your assets.

Standard settings

SAP provides simulation version A1 as an example.

Activities

  1. Define your simulation versions.
  2. Enter the following for your simulation version:
    • The depreciation area, for which the simulation takes place
    • The asset class for the simulation (you can make a generic entry from left to right using the "+" symbol)
    • The depreciation key for the simulation
    • A valid-to date. The assets that are included in the simulation must have a capitalization date before this date.
  3. Define the following simulation parameters, depending on the purpose of the simulation:
    • New depreciation key
    • Change to the useful life as a percentage, for example 80% or 125%
    • A valid-from date. The assets that are included in the simulation must have a capitalization date after this date.
