Good day experts,

The sign rule for the depreciation area 01 now is selected as "all values allowed" and It is required to change it to "Only negative values and zero allowed". We have assets which has already a positive depreciation. Is this change possible? if so, what are the consecuences?

Many thanks,

Antonio

Dear Antonio,

Yes it is possible to change the setting at the following navigation path>

IMG/Financial Accounting/ Asset Accounting / Depreciation / Ordinary Depreciation > Determine Depreciation Area. (Select your depreciation area) and from "all values  allowed " to make "Only negative value and zero allowed"

This change will only affect you on going process, as system has already ran the catch up of depreciation area, by selecting the indicator to "Only negative value and zero allowed" The system then ensures that only negative depreciation amounts are allowed in this area".

If for Example ;

You want to calculate the negative depreciation of positive APC (this is the normal procedure) in an area, you must set the indicator "Negative values (incl. zero)". The system then ensures that only negative depreciation amounts are allowed in this area.

Hope this will help,

Best Luck,

Many thanks for your answer Nishan.

What about the assets that already have a positive depreciation?  Will I continue see  them as positive?

Antonio,

Please note you are making a change on rule, not on a control indicator, which will trigger older depreciation booked, this rule will take care going forward, it will not hamper your depreciation which are booked, more over those books should be closed right?

So to make sure why dont you make a chance on setting and run depreciation in simulation mode you will get the result, if you are in DEV client you can also post depreciation to validate your testing scenario.

Best Luck,

Hello Nishan,

Many thanks for the reply, and my apologies for not answer before. I had problems with my account. regarding this case. We didn't change the deppreciation for "Only negative values and zero allowed" So I can't test the results. Neverless your explanation was clear and has sense.

Thank you!
