Value 2 Depreciation

An asset budget record can be depreciated using a second depreciation method. A separate set of asset values are maintained, and they can be calculated and maintained in a different currency, if required. All of the values displayed on this tab are expressed in the currency chosen as the Asset Currency Code.

  1. Specify this information:
    Asset Balances
    Transaction Gross Value

    The original value of the asset, including any additions, revaluations, or disposals. This is the sum of all transactions with asset indicators of Initial or Value. The value reflects changes made in Ledger Entry, Ledger Import or Asset Disposal.

    Transaction Depreciation Value

    The standard accumulated depreciation for the asset budget record. It reflects the depreciation calculated and posted by Depreciation Calculation, Ledger Entry, Ledger Import or Asset Disposal. It is the sum of all transactions posted to the asset with an asset indicator of Depreciation. This amount includes reduction depreciation, but excludes advanced depreciation, which is displayed in the field below.

    Trans Advanced Value

    The total advanced depreciation for the asset budget record. It displays the advanced depreciation calculated and posted by Calculate Advanced Depreciation, and also posted by Ledger Entry and Ledger Import against the asset using a journal type that has its Asset Depreciation Type set to Advanced. This amount excludes standard depreciation and reduction depreciation.

    Transaction Net Value

    The gross value of the asset less the accumulated depreciation. This reflects changes made by Depreciation Calculation, Ledger Entry, Ledger Import or Asset Disposal.

    Asset Currency Code

    The currency code for the asset budget record, which is used as the transaction currency for the asset in Ledger Entry and Ledger Import. Currency codes are defined using Currency Codes (CNC).

    Depreciation Settings
    Trans Depreciation Method

    The depreciation method to be used by Depreciation Calculation. There are several methods available. If this is set to No Depreciation, depreciation is not calculated automatically for the asset. See What Depreciation Methods are Available?

    Transaction Percentage

    For depreciation methods Declining Balance, Straight Line or Japanese Straight Line, this is the percentage rate used to calculate the amount of depreciation deducted. For Straight Line or Japanese Straight Line, you can either enter a percentage rate here, or leave blank and enter the end of the depreciation period in the End Period field on the General tab, but not both.

    Transaction Final Value

    The final value of the asset in the asset currency. It may be scrap or residual value. If using Japanese Straight Line depreciation method, this is the first Final Value used to determine the annual depreciation amount.

    Trans Posting Final Value

    This is used by the Japanese depreciation method only. It is the posting final value for the asset in transaction currency. This is the second final value, and is the cutoff point for the additional depreciation calculation required by the Japanese depreciation method.

    Transaction Table Code

    The depreciation table to use if the depreciation method is Table Depreciation.

    Transaction Table Column

    If the Depreciation Table method, this is the column of the table of rates to be used to depreciate the asset.

    Trans Days for First Period

    The number of days in the first period in the life of the budget asset. This field relates to the feature, available for Straight Line depreciation, which allows you to start to depreciate an asset part way through the first period. You cannot set this option if the Full Year Deprctn in 1st Year check box is checked on the Ledger Setup (LES).

    Transaction Active Days

    The number of days for which the asset budget record is active within the number of days in start period, which you wish depreciation to be calculated in the first period in the life of the asset budget record. You cannot set this option if the Full Year Deprctn in 1st Year check box is checked on the Ledger Setup (LES).
