In this step, you define your
charts of depreciation. The chart of depreciation is a list of depreciation areas arranged according to business and legal requirements. The chart of depreciation enables you to manage all rules for the valuation of assets in a particular country or economic region.
You must assign a chart of depreciation to each company code that is defined in Asset Accounting. SAP provides country-specific charts of depreciation with predefined depreciation areas. These charts of depreciation serve only as a reference for creating your own charts of depreciation, and are therefore not directly accessible in the SAP system. When creating a chart of depreciation, you have to copy the reference chart of depreciation.
Note
When you create a chart of depreciation, the system copies all of the depreciation areas in the reference chart of depreciation. You have to delete any depreciation areas that you do not need in your chart of depreciation.
Depreciation areas that are not used can still be activated at a later point in time (after the production startup). A newly activated depreciation area can take over values from another depreciation area. (see the SAP library FI-AA: Calculation of Asset Values (General) -> Subsequent Creation/Deletion of a Depreciation Area)
Standard settings
SAP delivers country-specific reference charts of depreciation for each country. They contain all depreciation areas for that country that are necessary to meet legal and business requirements.
For example, there are reference charts of depreciation for the following countries:
- USA
- Great Britain
- Germany
- Austria
- Spain
- Switzerland
- and so on
Activities
Create a chart of depreciation, using either an SAP standard chart of depreciation, or your own existing chart of depreciation as a reference (Organizational unit -> Copy org. unit).
- If you want to create a chart of depreciation for a country for which a standard chart of depreciation is not delivered by SAP, you can refer to a country-specific standard chart of depreciation with similar depreciation parameters. You then have to specify any further country- specific characteristics during the other customizing steps.
- Enter the name of your chart of depreciation.
- Delete the depreciation areas that are not needed from your new chart of depreciation and/or add new depreciation areas by copying them.
