This routine makes projection of depreciation.

Projection of depreciation consists in generating depreciation transactions based on information available in Fixed Assets module for a period equal to or longer than a month.

This functionality is important for budget process because it enables you to estimate the impact of depreciation on expenses of the next fiscal year more accurately.

 

5cf22bf1-cdaf-42d5-9f36-5f4f695e6253Important:

When there is integration, the generated simulation is replicated to the routine Entries, from the Budget Planning and Control module. In these cases, the entries originated from Fixed Assets are identified by the code 000374.

Procedures

Simulating depreciation:

1. In Simulation and Depreciation Projection, click Add.

A screen is displayed with the routine purposes. Click Next.

2. A screen is displayed to configure parameters to run the routine.

In the following fields, enter:

Code: Simulation Code.
Review: Simulation version.
Initial Period: Date of the last depreciation in current branch is displayed.
Periods to be Processed: Enter the periods to be processed.
Base of Modifying Asset: Enter the base code of assets that modify this simulation.
Branch From: Initial branch of assets to be simulated.
Branch To: Final branch of assets to be simulated.
Consider Assets: Enter which assets must be considered in the Simulation of Depreciation. They can be: Real, Planned, or Both.
3. Click Next.
4. Enter the entities that will be in the simulation of depreciation and click Next.
5. Configure simulation modifiers according to your need.

Note how the following fields are filled out:

Type of Change: Select whether modifying asset will influence depreciation positively (Acquisition) or negatively.
Modifying Action: Select the action to be taken:
Replicate: Indicate whether creation/write-off of an asset must be simulated every month with the value entered.
Divide: Indicate whether modifying asset must be divided equally between simulation months. Besides, creation/write-off of this asset is simulated every month with the value apportioned.
Period No.: Enter the number of the period in which creation/write-off of the asset is simulated with the value entered.
Review: Simulation version.

5cf22bf1-cdaf-42d5-9f36-5f4f695e6253Important:

This operation does not create the modifying asset, but only the transactions, thus simulating acquisition/write-offs estimated in the period selected.

6. Click Next.
7. To start Simulation processing, select Yes. If you just want to save configurations, select No.
8. Click Finish.

Simulation is processed.

5cf22bf1-cdaf-42d5-9f36-5f4f695e6253Important:

If the parameter F12 - Account is configured with Yes, On-line Accounting of the entries 890 and 891 is performed.
