In this step, you define the weighting of the distribution of the planned annual depreciation to the individual periods in the fiscal year. You can enter a relative weight for each fiscal year version and each fiscal year. The posting period receives a depreciation amount based on its relative weight in relation to the total of all the weights. This makes it possible to distribute according to the number of days or weeks per period. The weighted distribution affects the periodic posting of depreciation, as well as the determination of proportional value adjustments for retirements and transfers.

Recommendation

Generally, it is not necessary to distribute annual depreciation in weighted form to the individual posting periods in a fiscal year. In most cases, it is sufficient to distribute annual depreciation uniformly to the individual periods. You do not need to do anything in this step in that instance. However, there is sometimes depreciation legislation which requires you to post the planned annual depreciation weighted differently to different periods (for example, for the 4-4-5 rule).

Standard settings

In the standard system, annual depreciation is distributed uniformly to the individual periods in the fiscal year (that is, the system calculates the same depreciation amount for each period.)

Activities

Weight the individual fiscal year periods according to the portion of annual depreciation that should be posted in them. For each entry, make the following specifications:

  • fiscal year version
  • fiscal year, up to which the entry should be valid (for example, 9999)
  • posting period
  • relative weight of the posting period
