Fixed Asset Depreciation for 4-4-5 Calendar

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 190

I am trying to set up fixed asset depreciation in a company that uses 4-4-5 fiscal calendar (each quarter has 3 fiscal periods, 4 weeks, 4 week, and 5 weeks, and so forth)
I am using AX 2013 R3.

I set up the depreciation profile for Straight Line Service Life, and frequency of Fiscal Calendar/Fiscal Period.

when I go to depreciate the asset, AX correctly recognizes the fiscal calendar, and the creates depreciation proposal line correctly on the last day of each fiscal period as the posting date.

However, I expected AX to depreciate more (5/13) on the 5 week periods, and depreciate less (4/13) on the 4 week periods. Instead, all my depreciation amounts are exactly 1/12 from the annual depreciation amount.

How can I get AX to take into account the period length when proposing depreciation amount?

    I have a similar need.  How did this issue get resolved?  Did you try a different calendar and 52 periods per year rather than 12 periods per year for depreciation?

    the best solution I could find so far is create a different calendar with 52 weeks, post the depreciation with "summary" setting so it totals either 4 weeks or 5 weeks depending on the period.

    That's a bit manual since it forces the user to manually enter the period end date exactly.

    Have you tried using a manual Depreciation method like below?  Set your intervals as a percentage (4/52, 4/52, 5/52, etc.) it might work for you.

    yes, I looked at manual, but since the % is 5/52 and 4/52 it would mean I would get uneven amounts due to rounding.

    I am considering it as a last resort.
