Hi Experts,

We have recently done FA Go-live. When the setup was done FA was created for 30 years and users have posted depreciation for September and October. Now the client wants to change the life of an asset to 10 years repost depreciation with correct value for September and October.

what is the best approach to change this values.

Thanks

Hi,

Please follow the steps below for your scenario:

Step 1: Change the asset life to 10 years. (You can use Data Management for a bulk upload.)

Step 2: For the posted depreciation, since it is within the same fiscal year, you can reverse the depreciation transaction. Once the transaction is reversed, the system will update the remaining depreciation period. For reversal, you can do from the initial depreciation journal. This will reverse depreciation for all the transactions that was within that journal.

Step 3: Users can then repost the depreciation using the Depreciation Proposal.

Regards,

Bharath Jain.

Hi,

In addition to the steps provided by Bharath, check if the number of remaining periods are indeed correct on the Asset book and the new depreciation amounts are exactly as per expectation.

Hi,

The process for fixed asset depreciation with a revised service life is the same as mentioned by Bharath. However, you can also reverse the posted depreciation using the following approach:

Path: Fixed assets → Inquiries and reports → Fixed asset transactions

Select the specific transaction, then click the Reverse transaction button.

Please note that with this method, you can only reverse entries one by one.

Alternatively, you can export the posted depreciation from the journal lines, add a negative sign to the depreciation amount, upload it again, and then post it. This approach allows you to reverse depreciation in bulk.

Cheers,

Burhan
