Setting Up Depreciation Timing Rules

  1. Open Depreciation Timing Rules (FDU) from the main SunSystems menu.
  2. Specify this information:
    Timing Rule Code
    The code that uniquely identifies the timing rule.
    Name
    A name for the timing rule.
    Operating Periods
    The number of periods for which depreciation are calculated during a financial year. This is normally 12, i.e. monthly accounting periods. This value cannot exceed the maximum number of periods specified in Business Unit Setup (BUA).
    Period Ratio 1-60
    The proportion of the total depreciation to allocate to each period. This field defaults to zero. Leave as zero if no amount is to be apportioned to a period.
