Fixed assets - Additional Costs - Depreciation

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Alex_Ste 166

Hi everybody,

I ‘ve this problem :

Fixed asset

30/06/20  Acquisition   cost 100

31/12/20  Depreciation                  10    ( starting date depreciation 01/01/20 - % depr 10)  ok

30/09/21 addition cost 30   

When I run the depreciation , Nav calculates the days of depreciation starting from the date of the addition cost ( 30/09/21 ) , is there a way to make possible that Nav calculates the depreciation on the sum of the acquisition + addition cost (110 ) from the 01/01/21 not from the 30/09/21  ?

Thank you

regards

Alessandro

    Hello Alessandro

    when you post the new cost, the system change the acquisition date in the fixed assets ( by design)

    To have the correct calculation when you post the additional costs you need to put the a check mark in the fields Depr . Until FA posting date and Depr. Acquistion cost; in this way when you post the system will calculate the depreciation for the original acquisition cost to align with the new date

    Alex,

    If you want to calculate the additional Acquisition Cost invoice from the original Acquisition Cost, on the Purchase Line, or FA Journal, or Fixed Asset G/L Journal make sure your Acquisition Cost Type entry checks the field Depr. Until FA Posting Date. This tells NAV that depreciation has been calculated thru the FA Posting Date.

    Hope this helps.

    Thank you,

    Steve

    Hi Alessandro,
     
    Thanks for the answer. i have tested the solution provided and my observations are as follows.
     
    If we need additional assets to have depreciation from 30/09/21 and the original asset from 30/06/20 in the above example then we need to tick Depreciation until FA Posting date only.
    if we need additional asset to have deprecation from 30/06/20 in the above example then we need to tick both Dep acquisition cost and Dep until FA posting date .
     
     
     
    thanks
