Reverse Fixed Asset Depreciation

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 510

Hi all,

How to reverse a FA depreciation for an asset and bring the value back to as it was before (when bought as new?)

I believe the right way is to select all the depreciation FA ledger entries (except the purchase invoice line) and click on CANCEL ENTRIES. I am not sure whether I should give any posting date, so left it blank and it created FA GL entries with the same date of posting depreciation. I am trying this in the 2013 Chronus database.

When posting the journal, it gives an error "Document no XXX is out of balance by  amount. Please check posting date , Document Type, Document no and amount are correct on each line".

The document type is blank and the posting dates are well in advance from Jan 2016 to Dec 2016..  

Regards,

Cecil

    Hi Cecil,

    what you describe is the recommended way. Since every depreciation entry will have its own date (standard case), you would need to enter a balancing account for every line so that the balance by document type, document no. and posting date equals to zero. The balancing account should be the "Depreciation Expense Account" of the FA posting group.

    with best regards
