Documentation

Definition

The asset value date is the value date for Asset Accounting. It can deviate from the posting and document date and be in posting periods already closed for Financial Accounting. However, the posting year and asset value date year must 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. You can specify in Customizing how the the default asset value date is determined by the system.
