This graphic is explained in the accompanying text  Validity Periods and the Depreciation Key Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

The following example shows the defined validity periods of a depreciation key with five levels (60, 10, 10, 10, 10%) for the individual acquisition years. 1994 is a shortened fiscal year with 9 months (1/1 - 9/30). A full year's depreciation is to be calculated in the shortened fiscal year:

You do not have to make changes for acquisition years prior to 1991, since the key is only valid for 5 years, and the shortened fiscal year would no longer have an effect.
