Apportioning the Depreciation using Asset Analysis details

A factor can be entered for a posting preset subcode. This is used to apportion the depreciation value calculated by Depreciation Calculation (FDC), or Asset Disposal (FAD). It enables the total depreciation for the asset to be apportioned across several posting preset analysis code combinations. The factor determines the amount of the total depreciation calculated, that is apportioned to each analysis preset subcode for the asset.

For example, you can apportion the depreciation for buildings to each department based on the floor area used by each department. A posting preset subcode would be defined for each department. It would identify the appropriate department's analysis code in the relevant analysis dimension. It would also contain the factor to be used to apportion the total depreciation for the department, that is the floor space ratio.
