Hi Sharvari,

Low Value Assets is an asset class defined in SAP where all values equal to or less than 5000 (For India) will be booked. You can figure out with client as to, in which asset class they expect to have purchases amounting to Rs. 5000 or less and in all those Asset classes, you can have LVA asset class also.

In LVA Asset class, 100% amount will be depreciated in the first depreciation run itself. and the amount of Rs. 5000 is specified in configuration. Node is Asset Accounting> Valuation>Amount Specifications>Specify max amount for LVA.

Hi Sharvari

This is mainly required for consolidation purposes.

For instance, As per US GAAP, all assets related expenses below 5000 USD are required to be posted into expenses accounts.

Similarly, as per EMEA GAAP, all assets related expenses below 2000 USD should be expensed off.

Assume if the consolidation happens in US, then you need to show the EMEA assets above 2000 USD also as expense as per US GAAP. Hence, we need to adopt different practices in leading and non-leading ledgers.

This is just one scenario which I know. Better to discuss with business and get the exact requirements.

Hope this helps.

Hi Joshi,

Low Value Assets are assets with low values and the benchmark has been decided by Client that for example below $500 amount all assets should come in the category of LVA.

Like Tea Machines, Chillers and Kitchen Items usually comes in LVAs. Its not a legal requirement it is solely depends upon your client's requirement.
