Fixed Assets: After a negative depreciation, there is no correct calculation of the depreciation amount...either profile or proposal

Hello all,

I run into the following issue. For a certain reason we had to undo a posted depr journal(28Jan, period 1). We had to use the same voucher series for the reversal so we created a new journal and used the option Function/retrieve posted transactions. So we picked up the posted transactions we wanted and inverted the sign, and we got a reversal. The posting type was still 'depreciation', date the 29th of Jan(period 2).

example:

Dec 2021: Asset with Acq value 2512,47, depr till then 1936,62. NBV is 575,85 with remaining periods 11. 

Jan 2022: depr made for 52,35. That had to be reversed. So negative depr amount (at credit side)...so in Period 2 we created the reversal.

result: Checking the asset, the NBV was ok, 575,85. Transactions were correctly shown under balances. As we wanted to create a new depr run, we set the last depr run date back to 31dec. as Jan was wrong and the number of periods back to 11. Back to Situation dec 2021 

But when we went to the profile menu in the asset, the NBV was still correctly displayed, however the monthly amount was wrong and the number of periods as well. It looks like that the reversal is not taken into account when D365 starts calculating the amounts for the remaing periods, it still thinks it has the NBV from before the reversal..So end Jan. 

Anyone experienced this before?

As i thought perhaps it is the posting type, I did another test but then using the depr adjustment as posting type for the reversal, but same issue. in the end, I am missing that month (52,35) which I reversed...although the NBV is correct.

    Hi GJ,

    Can you tell which exact depreciation method you are using? E.g. Straight line service life, straight line life remaining, ...?

    It seems like you created a depreciation adjustment where you talked about a reversal with the type depreciation.

    Hi Andre,

    Straight line remaining is what we use.

    What I meant was that the example in production is based on posting type depreciation. As it didn't work correctly, i thought lets try this in my test environment with another posting type, depr adjustment..as you never know how D365 behaves.

    thx,

    GJ

    Hi GJ,

    It might be caused by having the correction done in February, but not sure. I haven't seen an issue like this before. I thought the service life remaining was taking simply the NBV and divided it by the remaining number of periods. But probably the NBV for the calculation is at the end of January where your reversal is posted in February.

    Didn't see such issue but why you are retrieving and doing this activity?

    Why don't you use simple posting type as depreciation and post debit and try ??

    Also, you can reverse depreciation using standard reverse transaction button on FA transaction form

    Hi Saurabh,

    I know the option the reversal option, but that uses a different voucherseries and we had to use the same one as for the original depr. And the journal which had to be reversed contained 440 assets, that is why I used the retrieve option.

    and in the end posting type is the same.

    But think I hv got a solution. D365 thinks jan is done and that is why it ignores 1 depr run.

    I will run the next proposal for feb...it will give me 2 periods again(still jan plus feb) but with wrong amounts. I delete jan and manually type in the line for feb, the right amount.

    After posting, the periods are back to what it should be...the NBV was already correct and stays correct. Any next depr shows under 'profile' the right amount as well.

    thx for yr help anyways!
