Rebuilding depreciation history

Use this procedure to rebuild period-to-date and year-to-date depreciation amounts for interfaced assets and make them available for analysis and reporting.

You must interface assets, asset items, asset books, and asset transactions before you can rebuild depreciation amounts.

Caution: 
If you specified manual journal entries in Asset Management for prior year depreciation, rebuilding will cause these entries to be duplicated in Asset Management. Consult Infor Global Support before running this program for advice on avoiding this situation.

Rebuild depreciation history

  1. Access Depreciation History Rebuild (AM320).
  2. Select the rebuild parameters. Specify this information:
    Book, Book Group

    If you specify a book, you cannot specify a book group. You can leave both fields blank, but you can specify a value in only one of these fields.

    If you leave both fields blank, the rebuild includes all assets assigned to all books associated with the company or company group.

    Company, Company Group

    You must specify a company or a company group. You cannot specify both.

    Year

    If you leave the Year field blank, the rebuild includes all years. If you specify a value in the Year field, the rebuild starts with the year you specify.

    If you leave the Year field blank, the program could take a long time to process.

    Period Closing

    If you specify a value in the Period Closing field, you must also specify a value in the Year field. The rebuild will start with that period and year.

    Asset List

    If you specify an asset, the rebuild will include only that asset. The List field must be blank.

    If you specify an asset attribute list in the List field, the rebuild will include only the assets that are members of the list. The Asset field must be blank.

    If both fields are blank, the rebuild includes all assets for the company or company group.

    Rebuild Option Report Option

    To view a report of the potential impact of the rebuild, you should first run AM320 with the Rebuild Option field set to R (Report Only) and the Report Option field set to either S (Summary) or D (Detail).

    Note: This is a highly recommended step.

    To rebuild the history files records, run AM320 with the Rebuild Option field set to U (Update). You can also produce a summary or detailed report, or you can select N (No Report) in the Report Option field to produce no report.
