Asset Impairment - how to zero out Accumulated depreciation
Hi,
We are implementing Asset Impairment on PeopleSoft 9.2 version. As per US GAAP, requirements for an impairment loss are to do the following:
- Recognize an impairment loss for the amount of an asset’s carrying amount that exceeds its fair value.
- When the loss is recognized, the adjusted carrying amount becomes the new cost basis. This includes zeroing out LTD accumulated depreciation.
Example of 100% impairment:
Asset Original Cost 1000
Accumulated Depr 400
Net Book Value (NBV) 600
Fair Value is $0
Dr Impairment Exp 600
Dr Accum Depr 400
Cr Asset 1000
But the entries created as per PeopleSoft Impairment process would be:
Dr Impairment Exp 600
Cr Asset 600
