Fixed Asset Posting Type Setup

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

Hello everyone,

I hope you can help me with this.

I am currently studying the Fixed Asset module and I have some doubts in regards to the difference between the fields Part of Depreciable Basis and Include in Depreciation Calculation in the FA Posting Type Setup section.

Thank you in advance.

    RE: Fixed Asset Posting Type Setup

    Hi Amesh,

    Please disregard my previous post with the example.

    I am still I little confused about the use of the field Part of Depreciable Basis.

    I ran the Calculate Depreciation batch job twice for an asset wich I had previously appreciate. In both cases I had the Include in Depreciation Calculation field enabled.

    The first time I ran it activating Part of Depreciable Basis and the second time I disabled it. In both cases I had the same result in the Amount to Depreciate.

    Does the Depreciation Method makes any difference when NAV calculates the amount to depreciate?

    Thank you

    Thank you Mahesh,

    Using the same example, let's say that:

    1. I entered the Appreciation for the new asset and I enabled the Include in Depreciation checkbox but didn't enable Part of depreciable basis.

    2. Same scenario but in this case I enabled both Include in Depreciation and Part of Depreciable Basis.

    Hi,

    For example, I created a new FA Card, and made an Acquisition entry on 01/01/2015.  Lately, I entered one more entry on 01/01/2015, but this time, the entry type is "Appreciation".

    1. Before calculating the Depreciation, I opened the FA Posting Type setup and removed the check mark on the field "Include In Depreciation" (only for Appreciation) and calculated the Depreciation, you may notice that the depreciation is calculated only on the Acquisition Cost.

    2. Before calculating the Depreciation, I opened the FA Posting Type setup and paced back the check mark on the field "Include In Depreciation" (only for Appreciation) and calculated the Depreciation, you may notice that this time the depreciation is calculated based on the Acquisition Cost and Appreciation entry.

    Hi,

    Part of Depreciable Basis : Check mark in this field indicate whether FA Ledger Entry of this type is being considered as a part of depreciable basis.

    Include in Depreciation Calculation: It means that this type of Entry  (Appreciation, Write-Down etc.) must be considered while calculating the depreciation.
