Straight Line - Half Year Depreciation Method

Posted on by 1,455

My client is using this method for all assets - and wants to know the monthly impact it has in GP for processing the actual depreciation journal entry.  If they purchase an item for $12000 with a 3 year life - we know the the first year is 12000/3/2 or $2000 for the first year, then 4000 in the next 2 years and 2000 for the final year.  How does GP handle the monthly depreciation recording?

Lets say they purchase an asset in March for a YE of June 30. Would the monthly be March 500, April 500, May 500, June 500? Or would it all be computed in March 2000? We need to know for forecasting purposes.

    Hi Deborah,

    For forecasting purposes, you should run a projection in the fixed assets module.  This will give you the period and the forecasted depreciation amount.

    Let me know if you need more details on how to run a projection.

    Thanks,

    Mike
