Depreciation suggestions
can be calculated and
posted for all fixed assets
of a set of books. Fixed
asset transactions, e.g.
retirements and transfer
postings, can be carried
out for individual sets of
books.
Depreciation calculation
Automatic or manual depreciations can be carried out for specific
periods, e.g. monthly or annually. The depreciation calculations can be
made easier, e.g. by creating depreciation suggestions and by
automatically correcting depreciations which is too high or too low.
Furthermore, you can also use unscheduled tax depreciations if you
would like to post depreciation in a non-standard way.
The depreciation calculation is integrated in the transaction figures. The
current depreciation run and amount can be viewed at any time.
Depreciations to the day
In a client you can either use the monthly depreciation method or the
exact-day procedure, which is used, for example, in Hungary and Spain.
When the exact-day method is used, all transactions (receipts, issues,
transfers) of a fixed asset up to the entry date will be taken into account.
Imputed fixed assets
In abas ERP imputed depreciations can be used along with tax
depreciations.
This would make sense, for example, if part of the internal products are
manufactured on machines which have already been depreciated.
Imputed depreciations are an important part of the cost object unit
accounting and can be continuously posted via an imputed depreciation
model and scheduled depreciation amounts, even if the net book value
becomes negative.
For each fixed asset and for each of the 5 sets of books you can both
create a tax-related and an imputed model and administrate them
separately. If the tax-related model and the imputed model are almost
identical, the tax-related model can be used as a template for the
automatic generation of the imputed depreciation model.
