SAP Business One 9.0 Fixed Assets, change existing depreciation

[Former Member]

I have a request from a client to change the depreciation for passed months.

For example, they enter a fixed asset with a value of $12,000.00 with 36 months of depreciation. So the depreciation will be $333.33 per month. After the first year, they want to re-value to asset to a value of $20,000.00, so now the monthly depreciation is $555.55 per month. They want to back to the first year and post the increase so the first year will be $555.55 per month instead of $333.33

Any thoughts

Hi,

In my opinion, it is not logical and can not change depreciation for passed months.

But you can post manual depreciation for total amount into Dec 31.

Hope this helps,

What about doing an asset revaluation to revaluate to 20,000 then performing manual depreciation for the difference of 555.55 and 333.33 for the months that need the additional depreciation.

I tried to enter prior period manual depreciations. SAP does not let me post to the prior periods

Is the posting period locked?  I had no problem posting to an earlier period but I unlocked it first.
