In base method, declining balance method and period control method, we have system defined methods for eg 0014, 001, 001.

So how we come to know that which method is valid for us?

Is it compulsory to assign these methods to depreciation key? if yes, why?

All the depreciation calculation methods - Basic method, declining balance method etc has to be assigned to the depreciation key.

The asset master record contains the depreciation terms. The system calculates

the annual depreciation using the depreciation key and the useful life.

You can enter a depreciation key as the default value for a particular company code or depreciation area.
