• Key Concepts: 
  Annex 16 is a component of SAP FI-AA (Asset Accounting) that allows users to manage the depreciation of assets. It provides a range of features, such as the ability to calculate depreciation values, create asset classes, and assign depreciation areas. It also allows users to track the value of assets over time and generate reports. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use Annex 16, users must first create an asset class and assign it to a depreciation area. This will determine the depreciation calculation method used for the asset. Once the asset class is created, users can then create an asset master record and assign it to the asset class. This will allow users to track the value of the asset over time. Finally, users can generate reports to view the depreciation values for each asset. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating an asset class, it is important to consider the depreciation calculation method that will be used for the asset. Different methods may produce different results, so it is important to choose one that best suits your needs. Additionally, it is important to keep track of any changes made to an asset master record as these can affect the depreciation values for that asset.
