WDV Depreciation calculation

Posted on by NR-30060701-0 13
In D365 F&O I have set up the WDV method for depreciation calculation, but it is not using the opening WDV value. Instead, it is calculating depreciation based on the acquisition value. Please suggest
 
I have set up the WDV (Written Down Value) method and configured the depreciation rate to 15%. The scenario is as follows:
  • Acquisition Date: 1st April
  • Acquisition Value: 100,000
  • WDV Rate: 15%
  • Depreciation Period: Monthly/Fiscal Period

I would like to calculate the depreciation for the first two months, namely April and May:

When running the depreciation proposal, the system calculates:

  • 30th April: 1,232.87
  • 31st May: 1,273.97

However, I expect the calculation to be based on the Opening WDV:

  • 30th April: 1,232.87
  • 31st May: 100,000 - 1,232.87 = 98,767.13

After this adjustment, the depreciation for the month of May should be calculated as 1,258.26.
