Definition

Set this indicator, if you want the system to determine the periodic depreciation percentage based on the remaining life. This indicator only makes sense for depreciation keys in which the base method uses the "percentage from the useful life" depreciation calculation method.

You should be aware that when you calculate depreciation over the total useful life, the system rounds depreciation if you have set up rounding in the depreciation area and the base value is the acquisition value. This rounding is necessary in order to reach a net book value of zero.

Example

The straight-line method of depreciation can be used over the total useful life of the asset, or over the remaining useful life. In the first case, the acquisition value or the replacement value serves as the base value for depreciation calculation. In the second case the net book value is the base value. The difference between the two methods is seen in the treatment of subsequent acquisitions and post-capitalization.
