Restating Vintage/Group Accounts

You restate depreciation for a vintage/group account when you want to recalculate depreciation that occurred in a prior period for all the assets in the specified account. You must specify the period and year range for which you want to restate depreciation. If you keep the default value (1/0000) in the From period and year, depreciation is restated from the in-service date. LN recalculates the depreciation for each asset in its ADR book for the period you specify.

LN reverses any depreciation that was calculated starting from the From period you specified. Depreciation is then (re)calculated up to the specified To period. The new depreciation transactions are posted in the period range you specified, replacing the old transactions that were reversed.

When you restate, you indicate the date from which restatement should begin. You can restate from the in-service date of the account or from any other date between the in-service date and the present. First, LN adjusts the depreciation amounts for each asset in the vintage/group account. Then LN adjusts the accumulated depreciation, year-to-date depreciation, and net book value for the vintage/group account to reflect the changes.
