Documentation
Definition
This indicator controls the handling of gain/loss on retirement of assets:
- Retirement with gain/loss (variant 0)
When you use this posting variant, the system posts the difference between the revenue from the sale and the retired book value of the asset as gain or loss to the profit and loss account. This is the posting variant used in most countries.
- Show gain or loss on liabilities side (variant 1)
This variant can only be used for partial retirements. The system does not post any gain or loss. Instead, it corrects the proportional value adjustments being retired by the amount that would have been the gain or loss. There is no posting to a profit and loss account. Instead, the book value of the remaining part of the asset is increased or reduced by the amount of gain or loss. In this way, the effect of an asset retirement on the profit and loss account is postponed from the year of the retirement to the years over which the asset is depreciated.
When a gain is shown on the liabilities side, the book value of the asset is increased, although it cannot be increased to an amount greater than the APC. Any gain that increases the book value over the APC must be posted to the profit and loss account.
- Show revenue on liabilities side (variant 2)
When you use this variant, the system does not post any retired APC/value adjustments. Instead, the existing cumulative value adjustments are corrected by the amount of the revenue earned.
- Post to a specific asset (variant 3)
When you use this variant, the system posts gain/loss from asset retirement as a value adjustment to a specific asset, instead of posting it to a profit and loss account. You can specify this special asset in Asset Accounting Customizing. You can also specify one asset per asset class, or define a substitution rule for determining the asset.
- Show gain/loss on liabilities side, increasing book value above APC (variant 4)
This variant is almost identical to variant 1. However, an increase in the book value of the asset to an amount exceeding the APC (by posting a gain to the liabilities side) IS permitted in this case.
Note
Variants 1 and 2 are required, for example, for group assets for depreciation at the class level according to American legal requirements for ADR.
