Dear Community, 

I need your help again.

 

A Fixed Asset Object will be sold with voucher date 15.2.2024. 

The depreciation costs are booked until 28.2.24. 

 

Process in IFS:

When the Object has been sold, IFS repost the depreciation cost from the balance sheet account for February. Problem is that IFS takes the full amount of February instead of a proportion amount only.

 

Some figures:

Acquisition at 01.01.23: 10.000 EUR

Accumulated Depreciation until 31.12.23: 1667 EUR.

Depreciation costs in February until 29.2.24: 138,89 EUR

 

The question is now, the depreciation costs for February are booked with 138,89 on the B&S and P&L account. If the object has been sold, IFS retransfers the 138,89 EUR from B&S account to a "sell account".

 

The issue is that the cost are booked with 138,89 EUR for the full February instead of only proportional: 138,89 EUR / 29 days * 14 days = 67,05 EUR. 

 

Does anybody knows a nice solution for this? I have found nothing in the FA books or depreciation method to adjust this problem. Perhaps some of you have a good idea or solution how to handle this. 

 

Thank you for your help,

Benjamin

A solution is, to depreciate the object from the object screen with a preselected depreciation date. Run the depreciation proposal until that set date and the depreciation is like it should be.

 

Case can be closed.
