Depr. Acquisition Cost Field, FA Journal Line Table

  • Artículo

Specifies whether to post an additional acquisition cost and a possible salvage value to an already acquired asset.

If you have selected the Acquisition option in the FA Posting Type field, you can click here to enter a check mark. Then, when the line is posted, the (new) acquisition cost less the salvage value will be depreciated in proportion to the amount by which the (old) fixed asset has already been depreciated.

Example

A fixed asset has an acquisition cost of 1000 and the total depreciation is -220. You now post a line where Acquisition Cost is 150 and Salvage Value is -25. If you enter a check mark in this field before posting, then the following depreciation will be calculated and posted: (150 - 25) * -220 / 1000 = -27.50

If you enter a negative acquisition cost (this is relevant if you receive a credit memo), then the calculated depreciation will be a positive amount.

Important

Only the new acquisition cost will be depreciated when you enter a check mark in this field. The existing (old) acquisition cost will not be affected.

You can have both the new and the old acquisition cost depreciated until the current FA Posting Date, if you also enter a check mark in the Depr. until FA Posting Date field.
