Definition

The asset value date is the value date for Asset Accounting. The date can be different from the posting and the document date, and it can be in posting period that is already closed for accounting. However, the posting year and the value year have to be the same.

Since the asset value date can have a direct influence on the amount of depreciation, the system creates a default value when it can. The overview that follows shows the default asset value date for the most important asset transactions:

Initial aquis.    Posting date/capitalization date of master record

Subs. acquis. in the same year    Asset value date of initial acquis. (=Cap. date)

Subs. acquis. in later years    Posting date

Retirement    No default value (required entry)
