Remaining Useful Calculations & Expiry Useful life - Asset Accounting -- SAP FI

What is the purpose of Remaining Useful life :

Some of the Assets should be depreciate for 4 or 5 Years.  In this case it is not required to create a Dep Key in the system to calculate a Depreciation.  In this case system automatically calculate based on the Use Ful Life assigned in the Asset Master Record.

For Ex :--> If the Useful life of the Asset 5 Yrs then system ll calculate 20% depreciation automatically.
             -->If the Useful life of the Asset 4 Yrs then system ll calculate 25% depreciation automatically.

Where is the configuration part fr this Useful life :
In Multi-level method, check box needs to be selected.







How it ll work :

Case 1 :  If the Asset Useful Life is 5 Yrs & The Asset Value would be 10,000

Sol) Then system ll calculate 2000  Deprecation Per Year & it ll post in the books of accounts

Case 2 : If the Asset Useful Life is 5 Yrs & The Asset Value would be 10,000

Asset Captivation Date 1.03.2012
Ordinary Deprecation Start Date 1.03.2012
Asset Value Date (Transaction Date) 1.03.2012
Useful Life is  5 Yrs

Sol) In this case also system ll calculate the Deprecation as per as the first Case

Case 3 : If the Asset Useful Life is 5 Yrs & The Asset Value would be 10,000

Asset Captilisatin Date 1.03.2012
Ordinary Deprecation Start Date 1.03.2012
Asset Value Date (Transaction Date) 1.10.2012
Useful Life is  5 Yrs

Sol) In the above situation, there was a different between the Asset Capitalization Date & Asset Value Date. System ll always calculate the Depreciation based on the Value Date.  So here the Capitaliation Date & the Value date would be different.  In this case system ll adjust the entire deprecation the below way

Asset Value 10000
Year Wise Depreciation  2000
Month wise deprecation  166.6667
April 0
May 0
June 0
July 666.6667

System ll post entire 4 months depreciation in July itself.  Since the Asset transaction happens at July   & the Capitalization Date would be April 2012.

The 4 months appear as a Expiry Useful life in the Asset Master Record.
