Depr. Acquisition Cost Field, Gen. Journal Line Table
Specifies information that is relevant if you post an additional acquisition cost and a possible salvage value to an already acquired asset.
Select this field if you have selected the Acquisition option in the FA Posting Type field. Then, when the line is posted, the new acquisition cost minus the salvage value will be depreciated in proportion to the amount by which the fixed asset has already been depreciated.
Example
A fixed asset has an acquisition cost of 1,000 and the total depreciation is -220. Post a line where acquisition cost is 150 and salvage value is -25. If you select this field before posting, then the following depreciation will be calculated and posted:
(150 - 25) * -220 / 1000 = -27.50
If you enter a negative acquisition cost, for example if you receive a credit memo, then the calculated depreciation will be a positive amount.
Important
Only the new acquisition cost will be depreciated when you select this field. The previously posted acquisition cost will not be affected.
You can have both the new and the old acquisition cost depreciated until the current FA Posting Date, if you also select the Depr. until FA Posting Date field.
