Definition

Instructs the Asset Revaluation (Inflation) program to create inflation adjustment documents when you run it for this date. Otherwise, it only calculates the revaluation amounts but does not post them.

This field does not affect any other programs.

Procedure

Select this indicator if you have to revaluate your assets on this date.

Dependencies

In order for the Asset Revaluation (Inflation) program to be run on the appropriate dates (in the example below, 30 June and 31 December), you must ensure that you enter the same dates in the posting variant.

Examples

Assume that:

  • You revaluate your assets at the end of every half year
  • Assets are revaluated for whole months only, that is, if you acquire an asset partway through a month, it is not revaluated until the next month
  • Your fiscal year runs concurrently to the calendar year

In that case, you make the following entries:

Year    Month    Day    Post    Month    Day    Prev. year

9999    1    31        1    31

9999    2    28        2    28

9999    3    31        3    31

9999    4    30        4    30

9999    5    31        5    31

9999    6    30    x    6    30

9999    7    31        7    31

9999    8    31        8    31

9999    9    30        9    30

9999    10    31        10    31

9999    11    30        11    30

9999    12    31    x    12    31

If you acquired an asset on 14 February, for example, the system would not calculate inflation for the last 14 days in the month. On 30 June it would post inflation for four months, 1 March through 30 June. On 31 December, it would post inflation for the full six months of July through December.

If you want to adjust your assets for inflation at the end of every month, however, you would create the same entries but you would select Post for each of them.
