Depreciation Allocation (AM06.6)

Use Depreciation Allocation (AM06.6) to allocate an asset type's depreciation expense to multiple accounting units by percentage.

Processing Effect

If you define an asset that uses a type that has allocations defined, the depreciation expense is distributed among the various accounting units on this form when you run Depreciation Calculation and Listing (AM180) and Period Closing (AM190). Each accounting unit will be allocated the percentage of depreciation you define on this form.

More Information

Any asset that uses this depreciation allocation must be defined with a depreciation expense accounting unit that is included in this depreciation allocation. If the depreciation expense accounting unit is defined on the accounting unit group used by the asset, the depreciation allocation must include that accounting unit. If no depreciation expense accounting unit is identified on the accounting unit group, or if the asset does not use an accounting unit group, the default accounting unit used for the asset must be included in this depreciation allocation.

You can change the allocation. Allocation changes affect only transactions created after the change.
