Fixed asset depreciation convention

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hi,

I ma trying to figure out the impact on depreciation calculation when the convention is changed. Indeed, one of our depreciation book is using declining 200& balance with half year convention. By running the report Fixed assets mid-quarter applicability , we determine that we need to change the convention from half year to Mid-quarter. Once I change the default convention on the fixed assets groups/depreciation books, I can see that my Fixed assets already created are not being updated with new convention Mid-quarter, they remain with half year convention. my questions are :

- what should  I do to have this MW convention applied to my FA?

- will the depreciation be adjusted automatically by the depreciation proposal in the current month?

    Hello Marjorie,

    I overlooked the version tag that you added.

    For AX2009 there is only a mass update function available for the so-called depreciation books; not for the value models.

    Meaning that you either have to update the depreciation convention manually or that you need to ask a developer for writing some code that does the update for you.

    Best regards,

    Ludwig

    Hi,

    Where is this mass update functionality? I dont have a separate fixed assets module in AX 2009 , FA are included in general ledger module.

    Kind regards,

    Marjorie

    Hi,

    In the fixed asset module you have a mass update functionality that allows you changing the convention for already existing assets.

    Have you tried using this feature to update your existing fixed assets?

    Best regards,

    Ludwig
