Fixed assets - change depreciation method

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 339

Hello everyone,

in a production environment where fixed assets are implemented (1 value model, 1 posting layer) I am considering to change the depreciation method from “Straight line service life” to “Straight line life remaining”. Why? Because I have following scenario which seems to be only possible to solve with “Straight line life remaining”:

- fixed asset acquired and partially depreciated

- change "depreciation periods remaining" to a lower number (ex. from 10 to 3) because I want to fully depreciate the asset before the end of the service life

- when I run the depreciation proposal, the remaining 3 periods should be equal and adjusted to a higher amount than the normal depreciation (so that the asset is fully depreciated)

Could you tell me from your experience if a change in the depreciation method could have any side effects?

Many thanks and best regards

Fjorela

    Hi,

    This change should work as you intend without having side effects. Just wondering why you do not simply post a scrap posting if you want to bring the value down to $0. Wouldn't that be a faster and easier option?

    Best regards

    Hi Ludwig,

    thanks for your feedback. I was thinking the automatic depreciation proposal would be a faster option, since there are ca. 400 assets involved in this change.

    Best regards

    Hi Fjorela,

    I believe that you might see a performance change if you have a lot of assets involved (>100000). With 400 assets you should not see a considerable change in performance. If you do, get in touch with a development guy who should take a look at that in detail.

    Best regards,

    Ludwig
