Cost Percentage Depreciation Method

Cost Percentage

When the depreciation amount of an asset is calculated based on the cost percentage, the Depreciation Method field is set to Cost Percentage in the Depreciation Method (tffam7110s000) session. The Cost Percentage must also be specified in this session as the depreciation amount is always calculated as a percentage of the current asset cost, instead of the asset life. When the Depreciation Method is specified, LN checks if the adjustment date is within the life of the asset. However, this check is not applicable for the Cost Percentage method of depreciation. The Calculation Base field is used to indicate whether the percentage is applied on a Yearly or Periodically basis.

Apply Cost Adjustment in the next Period

You must select the Apply Cost Adjustment in next Period check box in the Depreciation Method (tffam7110s000) session, to ensure that the depreciation calculation considers all cost changes in a certain period to be applied on the start date of the next period.

Salvage in Last Period

If the Salvage in last Period check box is cleared in the Depreciation Method (tffam7110s000) session, the asset is depreciated to a Net Book Value which is equal to the salvage value. Consequently, the Net Book Value is calculated by subtracting the salvage value from the cost amount before calculating the depreciation amount.

If the Salvage in last Period check box is selected, the depreciation is calculated based on the calculation method, when Depreciate Below Salvage check box is selected in the Asset Books (tffam1510m000) session, that is, considering that there is no salvage value of the asset. However, when the accumulated depreciation is greater than the cost minus salvage value, the depreciation amount is corrected with the salvage value.
