Hello,
I need help understanding some lines in the entry generated for a retirement transaction. Here is the example:
1) I have converted the asset in date of 01-JUL-23:
- Cost: 1658.01
- DPIS: 2019/11/30
- Prorate: INE_FA_PR (following month convention)
- Amortize: YES
- Amortization Start date: 2023/07/01
- YTD Depreciation: 27.66
- Depreciation Reserve: 189.01
- Method: 30 years
- Cost: 1658.01
2) Two months have gone by:
- There was depreciation taken for the period of JUL-23 and AUG-23: Amount is 4.63
- I believe that the periodic depreciation calculated at the moment the asset was converted in the system is : (Cost-Depreciation Reserve)/remaining years. Therefore: (1658.01 - 189.01)/317 months = 4.63
