Fixed Assets Depreciation configuration and calculation

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by
We are working in a sandbox environment for migrationg 30 companies from Dynamics GP to Dynamics 365 BC. 
 
We have worked our way through most of the fixed asset migration issues, replicating the calculations from GP in BC. 
 
The specific scenario that we cannot successfully replicate is GP 7 year original life DB200 Switch to Straightline Half year convention.   
 
From what I have read and experienced, D365 does not allow DB2/SL with Half year convention.   
 
We came up with the work around that others have also used. 
 
Use DB1/SL half year Convention but assign the DB200 28.57% Declining Balance % instead of the DB150 21.42%.    This works for 3 and 5 year Assets but it does not work for 7 year assets.     We are looking for a way to implement the DB2/SL depreciation methood with Half year convention  without having to create period by period Manual depreciation for all of our 7 year assets.   
 
Is this a known issue? 
 
Is there a Known solution? 
 
Is microsoft working on a fix that would allow DB2/SL with half year convention?

    Fixed Assets Depreciation configuration and calculation
    Hello,
     
    Business Central simply does not support this type.
    It’s a known limitation, not a configuration issue, and there’s no Microsoft fix planned.
    Your workaround only works for 3- and 5-year assets because BC’s depreciation engine can’t reproduce the correct switch timing for 7-year DB200 assets.
     
    In practice, partners handle this by either:
     
    building a small custom depreciation method (most accurate), or
     
    migrating accumulated depreciation and continuing with SL only.
