The depreciation area for valuation for insurance purposes can be indexed (revalued/devalued) the same as all the other areas using index series. It is also possible to index an insurable value that was manually stored in the asset master record or the base insurable value.

In this step, you define the index series and the historical index figures for the index series. You need these index figures if you want to calculate using replacement values. For these types of calculations, you need to maintain the index figures beginning with the point in time that the oldest asset with an index series was acquired, up to the time of the takeover of old assets data. The system needs these past index figures in order to be able to correctly historically calculate the replacement values and insurable values for assets transferred during the old assets data takeover.

Maintaining the current index figures is part of periodic processing in the application menu of the FI-AA System.

Caution

It is absolutely necessary that you maintain your index series with the correct index figures before old assets data is taken over. Index figures of years prior to the data takeover after the old assets data takeover has taken place can only be changed with considerable effort.

If you do not have any index series at the time of the old assets data takeover, you can still calculate replacement values for all assets in later fiscal years, even after the productive start of the system. However, for previous acquisitions, you can then only use index series that provide for "historical calculation" in their index class. The current replacement value is calculated as follows with such index series:

Value (curr.year) = APC * index (curr.year) / index (acquis. year)

After calculating the replacement value in this way, you can change to a different index series in the following year, which calculates on the basis of the replacement value from the previous year.

Activities

  1. Assign a key to the index series.

    You can specify this key in the asset master records.

  2. Assign the index series to an index class.

    The index series specifies

    • whether the index series is age-dependent or year-dependent.
      • Age-dependent index figures are based on the 'n'th year that the asset has belonged to the asset portfolio. They show an annual rate of change from the time of the asset acquisition. The year 1 has the index figure 100. Year-dependent index figures relate to the fiscal year or the calendar year, and show a rate of change in relation to a certain base year. The base year has the index figure 100.
    • whether the calculation of indexed values should be based on historical APC or on the replacement value from the previous year.
      • The difference between the historical calculation and calculation based on the replacement value of the previous year (normal) becomes clear when looking at a subsequent acquisition to an asset. When you use historical calculation, the replacement value is determined as if the subsequent acquisition took place in the capitalization year. Therefore, it makes sense only to use the historical method if you do not have access to replacement values from the previous year for the assets taken over from your previous system.
  3. Specify the rate of increase (for example, 103% = annual increase of 3%) for the simulation of the replacement value in future fiscal years.

    Via this percentage, you can also calculate replacement values in the current fiscal year, even if the respective index figures have not yet been determined.

  4. Enter a description of your choice.
  5. Enter the index figures for the individual fiscal years (months, days). For example, 103 means an increase of 3%.
    1. Select the index series to be processed on the list screen.
    2. Select the function Index figures.

Note

Bear in mind that at the present time the index figures in the system always relate to fiscal years and not to calendar years. If you have a non-calendar fiscal year, you therefore have to accordingly adapt the time frame of the index figures depending on the calendar year before entering data into the system.
