Depreciation History Rebuild (AM320)

For UNIX/Windows platforms: Run Depreciation History Rebuild (AM320) to rebuild the AMBKHIST and AMBKHISTX files from the amounts found in the AMBKTRANS file (for non-posting books) or in the AMTRANS file (for posting books).

For the IBM i platform: Run Depreciation History Rebuild (AM320) to rebuild the DBAMABH and DBAMABX files from the amounts found in the DBAMABK file (for non-posting books) or in the DBAMAMT file (for posting books)

Note: If the selected records have a balancing record in the history file, then you must delete balancing records before rebuilding history. If the sum of the YTD balances in the history table is equal to the LTD total for the asset's book, then the history is not rebuild for the asset.

More information

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

If you leave both the Book and Book Group field blank, then the rebuild includes all assets assigned to all books associated with the company or company group.

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

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

If you leave both the Asset and List field blank, the rebuild will include all assets assigned to the specified book or book group (or all books) in the company or company group.

If you specify an asset, then the rebuild will include only that asset. Leave the List field blank.

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

To view a report of the potential impact of the rebuild, run AM320 first with the Report Option field set to R (Report Only) and the Report Option field set to S (Summary) or D (Detail). This is a highly recommended step.

To update 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.

The detail report (Report Option = D) provides old and new period amounts and old and new year-to-date and life-to-date amounts

The summary report (Report Option = S) provides only old and new year-to-date and life-to-date amounts.
