Documentation
Definition
Controls how the system checks the positive/negative sign rules of a derived depreciation area in the given derived depreciation area.
This indicator is only relevant if you are using the new depreciation calculation.
Use
The depreciation calculation creates period intervals for calculating depreciation. Depending on the depreciation keys or other depreciation-relevant settings, the depreciation calculation can generate more period intervals for the base depreciation area of the derived area than for another base depreciation area. To ensure that the positive/negative sign rule of the derived depreciation area is always adhered to, the depreciation calculation must synchronize all base depreciation areas. This means that the number and length of the period intervals must be the same for all base depreciation areas.
In the standard system, at the end of each period interval, the system determines the values for the derived depreciation area from the segments of the base depreciation area. In addition, for each derived depreciation area, the system checks the positive/negative sign rule. If applicable, the system then makes reductions in the adjustment area.
If you manage depreciation to the day in one base depreciation area but not in another base depreciation area, then the depreciation calculation is not able to synchronize the areas. In that case, if you need to evaluate the positive/negative signs after each period interval, then you have to manage the same depreciation to the day in all base depreciation areas.
However, if you only need to know the arithmetical difference between the base depreciation areas, without a positive/negative sign check and reductions, then enter the value 1 for this indicator. By doing so, you define the depreciation area as purely for differences only.
Note for Country Version for France
To be able to show special reserves as required by law in France, enter the value 2 for this indicator. By doing so, you define the depreciation area for adjustment of special reserves in France.
In that case, the system behaves almost the same as when you define the depreciation area as purely for differences only. However, the difference is that the depreciation calculation checks if the positive/negative rule is adhered to, and if necessary, it makes adjustments in the adjustment area.
