Documentation

Definition

As a general rule, the system determines the depreciation start date from the asset value date of the first acquisition posting. However, you can also manually enter a calendar date in the asset master record for the start of depreciation. In that case, the system ignores the asset value date of the acquisition posting.

Note

The depreciation start date is stored as a calendar date (even in the case of non-calendar fiscal years).
