SAP Note 23229 - Limited base value / valid-to date

Symptom:

Maximum (limited) base values can be provided with a valid-to date. This temporal restriction is not taken into account by the system as expected.

Cause and prerequisites

The temporal restriction of the valid-to date does not refer to useful life, but to the capitalization date of the affected fixed assets. Consequently, it can only be determined once for each fixed asset.
Example:

• Valid to 12/31/YYYY => The maximum base value applies to all fixed assets which are activated up to 12/31/YYYY (for the entire useful life of the fixed assets purchased by this time).

Thus, it is not possible to determine different maximum base values for a fixed asset in the individual years of its useful life.

Solution
At present, maximum amounts for the depreciation calculation related to calendar year cannot be determined in the system.
Such depreciation requirements must therefore be represented by manually posting the corresponding depreciation amounts or by different levels with explicit percentage rates in the calculation key.
