Below is the changes that will be taking place in the system due to changes in Company's Act 2013 incorporation:

1.) If life of the asset has decreased:- e.g. there is asset for which original life is 10 years, 3 years already completed as on 31
st March 2014 and now life has decreased to 7 years. In this scenario, WDV as on 31st March 2014 should be depreciation over the period of 4 years instead of 7 years. How to carry out this change

  1. A New Depreciation key would be created which will calculate the depreciation on the remaining useful life of assets as maintained in the Asset Master.
  2. For the New Assets, no changes are required but for Existing Assets, the changes in the Asset Master is required to be done in the Useful Life of Asset as well as in the Depreciation Key of the Asset. This changes will be done by the User's.


2.)
If life of the asset has increased:- e.g. there is asset for which original life is 10 years, 3 years already completed as on 31st March 2014 and now life has decreased to 12 years. In this scenario, WDV as on 31st March 2014 should be depreciation over the period of 9 years instead of 7 years. How to carry out this change

  1. This will be catered in the same way as is done for the above point (1.)


3.)
If the life of the asset is already over after change in rates:- e.g. there is asset for which original life is 10 years, 7 years already completed as on 31st March 2014 and now life has decreased to 6 years. In this scenario, WDV as on 31st March 2014 should be charged to the opening reserve. How to carry out this change

  1. In this case an entry is to be posted in the system by User, for which the GL's needs to be provided by the business.


Below shows the detailed example for the above mentioned points.


  1. If the Life of asset has decreased:


Asset No. : 211000112

The Comparison tab is as below:


Depreciation planned values for the year 2015 is as follows:


From above we can see that depreciation per period has changed from 3750.66 to 0 due to change in useful life of assets. And the remaining NBV of the Asset of 86265.40 will be removed by executing T-Code ABAA for this Asset as shown below:

After this save the Document as below:


We can check in the Asset Explorer that the above document is posted and the NBV of the Asset is 'Nil'




Here the Document is posted in AA only and not in FI. The unplanned Depreciation entry will get posted in FI when Depreciation Run is executed for this period through T-Code – AFAB as below:

This is the testing GL that we have used in posting key 40, that would be the Reserve GL that would be provided by the Client.
