Documentation

Definition

Profit/loss carryforward account for gain from the sale of assets or asset parts. The gain is calculated as follows:

Earned revenue - (purchase costs + net book value)

Note

The bookkeeping treatment of gain/loss can be controlled using the indicator "post net book value" in the asset company code definition.

Supplementary Documentation - KTMEHR 0001

Use (Reserve for special depreciation)

When accounts are entered here, the system takes the write-off of special reserves into account during an asset retirement when calculating the gain/loss on the retirement. The system does not post revenue from the write-off of special reserves. Instead it balances the book depreciation loss with an offsetting entry, and posts the total/difference of the revenue from the write-off of the special reserves and the book depreciation loss as gain/loss to these ccounts.

Examples

asset retirement/depreciation areas as per the standard chart of epreciation for Germany:

book val., book deprec.    70

book val., tax deprec.    40

special reserves    30

retmt. revenue    50

The system creates the following posting to the gain/loss accounts:

loss account    debit 20 and credit 20

gain account    credit 10

Supplementary Documentation - KTMEHR 0450

Use (Derived depreciation area/reserve for special depreciation)

When an asset with a reserve for special depreciation is sold, a profit or loss, as defined in commercial law, arises and, thanks to the clearing of the accompanying reserve for special depreciation, revenue is earned.

If you store an account here, the system does not post revenue arising from the clearing of reserves for special depreciation, but balances the commercial profit/loss by means of a contra posting and posts the total or difference arising to this account as a profit figure.

Note

This posting variant is not required in every country. If you do not enter an account here, the system posts the full amount of the revenue arising from the clearing of the reserve for special depreciation and the profit/loss as defined in commercial law.

Examples

Asset retirement/depreciation areas as required by the standard chart of depreciation for Germany:

Comm.book value    70

Tax book value.    40

Reserve for special depreciation    30

Revenue on retirement    50

The system makes the following postings in the profit/loss accounts:

Loss account    20 debit and 20 credit

Profit account    10 credit
