01. OVERVIEW
The Asset Extension routine (ATFA155) makes it possible to increase the asset's useful life, value, or both.
IMPORTANT!
This routine will be added to Brazil's menu in release 12.1.27.
02. EXAMPLE OF USE
Below is an example of the detailed calculation of how the depreciation rate for an asset is generated in the extension.
- For this example, the following pre-conditions were used:
- Asset Registration at 12/01/2019 in the menu Updates → Master Data → Assets (ATFA012)
- Calculation of Depreciation by routine in the menu Miscellaneous → Processing → Monthly calculation (ATFA050) on the dates 12/31/2019 and 01/31/2020
- Extension (Updates → Transactions → Asset Extension)
- Useful life extension:

The Current Useful Life (Months) field is the total useful life of the asset.
In this case, the asset already has a useful life of 120 months, 2 months of which are already depreciated (Elapsed)
By filling the Useful life (months) field with 132, you are adding 12 months to the useful life.

As the useful life increases, the depreciation rate is recalculated according to the calculation described below.
2. Value Extension:

If, when extending by value (Action: 2-Value) a depreciation rate (An.Depr.Rt. 1) is not entered in the grid "Asset Data: Incorporation", the rate of type 01 will be considered.

3. Extension of Both:

When making the extension of Both (Action: 3-Both), type 11 (Extension) is created, which must contain the value of the difference of the extension in the field Orig.Val C1 which, in the example, is BRL 20,000.00, and the Rate (An.Depr.Rt.1) of 10%
But this rate will be recalculated with the type 1 rate
