• Key Concepts: 
  Dependent depreciation area is a feature of SAP FI-AA Asset Accounting that allows for the creation of multiple depreciation areas for an asset. Each depreciation area can have its own set of rules and parameters, such as depreciation methods, useful life, and depreciation rates. The values in one depreciation area can be dependent on the values in another, allowing for more complex calculations. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To create a dependent depreciation area, first create the main depreciation area. Then, create additional areas and assign them to the main area. When setting up the additional areas, you can specify which values should be dependent on the main area. For example, you can set the useful life of an additional area to be dependent on the useful life of the main area. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a dependent depreciation area, make sure to check all of the settings carefully. It is important to ensure that all of the values are correct and that they are properly linked to each other.
