The system determines the start or end of depreciation based on the asset value date of a transaction (of the acquisition or retirement) using the period control. The period control is therefore an important part of the depreciation key. You can enter a separate period control for each period control method of the depreciation key for the following transaction types:

  • Acquisitions
  • Subsequent acquisitions in later years
  • Retirements
  • Transfers

In this step you can define new rules if the standard period controls are not sufficient for your installation. You define the calendar assignment for newly defined or copied period controls in a further step.

Standard settings

SAP supplies the most commonly used period controls:

  • Pro rata at the start of the period

    The depreciation start/end date is always set to the beginning of the period in which the asset value date for the acquisition/retirement lies.

  • Pro rata at the start of the period, up to the middle of the period

    The depreciation start/end date is set to the beginning of the period for transactions in the first half of the period. For transactions in the second half, it is set to the beginning of the next period.

  • Pro rata in the middle of the period

    This rule is the same as the first rule, however it is intended for the calculation of depreciation based on half-periods.

  • First year convention of a half-year
  • Beginning of year / middle of year / end of year

    For transactions on the first day of a fiscal year, complete depreciation for the year is calculated; for transactions in the first half, depreciation is calculated for a half year; for transactions in the second half, no depreciation is calculated.

  • At the beginning of the year
  • In the middle of the period
  • At the end of the period (beginning in the subsequent year)
  • In the middle of the quarter

    (see the "Pro rata at the middle of the period" rule)

  • In the second quarter
  • In the following quarter/month

Requirements

You must have processed the fiscal year variants for your company codes in Financial Accounting.
