Documentation
Definition
The depreciation method determines the procedure, according to which the use of assets of the fixed assets in the calculation period are calculated.
The planning function of the type 'depreciation' in SEM-BPS, supports two depreciation methods:
- Straight-line depreciation: The depreciation amount (as difference from acquisition or production costs or replacement costs and the residual value of the asset) is distributed in constant depreciation rates over the entered estimated useful life (duration of depreciation) of the asset.
- Declining-balance method of depreciation: The depreciation amount is distributed in decreasing installments over the entered estimated useful life.
- Sum-of-the-years-digits method of depreciation: If A is the depreciation amount, n the number of fiscal years in the duration of depreciation, and Sn := (1/2) * n * (n+1) the sum of these years. Then the i-te depreciation rate is calculated as part of the depreciation amount, which is entfällt to the i-te fiscal year in the duration of depreciation (0 < i < n+1) in accordance with the formula: A * (1/Sn) * (n-i+1). This variant of depreciation is only supported on the basis of fiscal years. A calculation on the basis of posting periods is not planned.
- Declining-balance method of depreciation:
The depreciation rate for every year of the duration of depreciation is calculated as a constant percentage of the residual value of the asset. As this form of depreciation generally does not lead to a complete depreciation of the depreciation amount in the duration of depreciation, a transition of the declining-balance method of depreciation to the straight-line depreciation is executed automatically as soon as the depreciation rate of the remaining residual value is higher than the rate of the declining-balance method of depreciation.
