Purpose of SAP transaction: Recalculate Depreciation Process (AFAR)

Use this procedure to recalculate depreciation of the assets. We perform this procedure when the life, depreciation method or asset value changes.

SAP Business Process Information

Planned annual depreciation may need to be recalculated for individual assets under the following conditions:

You have changed a depreciation key.
You have made mass changes that you programmed yourself and these changes affected data relevant to depreciation.
You want to calculate subsequent revaluation (after the legacy data transfer is closed) using current index figures. In order to correctly calculate replacement values however, you can only use index series that calculate historically.
