This routine allows you to accelerate the depreciation in batch, in order to automate the inclusion of type 07 - Acceleration of depreciation, to a set of assets selected by the user.
After adding an asset with type 07, depreciation will occur on an accelerated basis, since this asset will be depreciated using its normal acquisition rate plus the acceleration rate.
This routine also offers the end of acceleration feature, which posts the items of type 07 from the selected assets, canceling the acceleration of depreciation for the next months.


Requirements
Before performing the acceleration of depreciation:

  • The assets that will have accelerated depreciation must be of type "01" and have suffered at least one monthly depreciation.
  • The acceleration of batch depreciation must take place in the month immediately following the last depreciation calculation.
  • Set the Standard Entry 80A to account for the activation of batch acceleration of depreciation (inclusion of asset type '07').


Before ending the acceleration:

  • The assets that will have the batch acceleration of depreciation terminated must be of type "07" and created from the batch acceleration of depreciation.
  • Set up Standard Entry 81A to account for the end of the batch acceleration of depreciation posting (posting of asset type '07').
