Fixed Assets - Accounting
Dates
| Purchase date (Reval.) |
Purchase date of the fixed asset.
Till the 31st Dec 2001 this was also the date, from which on you calculated the first revaluation of purchase value.
|
| Activation date (Depr.) |
The activation date of the fixed asset is the date, from which you calculate depreciation.
Tangible fixed assets and small tools are depreciated from the first of the month following the one they have been available for use, that is when they were activated.
 Tangible fixed asset is depreciated from the first of the month following the one it has been available for use. (SRS 1.22).
Example:
The entered date of activation/calculation of the first depreciation for the month
01st March 07 / april 2007
15th March 07 / april 2007
31st March 07 / april 2007
01st April 07 / maj 2007
Between 31st Dec 2001 and 31st Dec 2005 it has been applied that depreciation shall be calculated from the first day of the month following the one when the fixed asset was made available for use. If you have not entered the date (e.g. fixed asset in preparation), then only revaluation has been caluclated for it and not depreciation.
|
| Disposal date (Reval.) |
Till 31st Dec 2001 the disposal date of the fixed asset has been the date, to which you have been calculating the revaluation of the purchase value of the fixed asset. This information has been entered as the last day of the month when revaluation is still calculated. |
| Deactivation date(Depr.) |
The date of deactivation of the fixed asset is the date, from which depreciation of the fixed asset is not calculated. These are the so called fixed assets permanently out of usage. This information is entered as the last day of the month when depreciation is still calculated. |
Depreciation/revaluation
 |
If you change the depreciation category this also causes the accounts to change as set in the depreciation categories register. |
| Depreciation category |
You can select the depreciation category for fixed assets. Information about the rate of minimum and accelerated depreciation which is to be calculated for this fixed asset, is contained here.
In case you change the depreciation category, a message is returned: Do you really want to change depreciation category of the fixed asset xxx?.
|
| Acceler. deprec. |
This field should be selected if you want to calculate besides the minimum also the accelerated depreciation for this fixed asset. By all means accelerated depreciation shall be calculated only if the appropriate interest rate for it is entered in the depreciation category register, in which the fixed asset belongs. |
| Additional depreciation |
By using this ratio you can for a specific fixed asset calculate on the basis of the information about the minimum rate of depreciation additional (functional) depreciation which is added to the minimum and accelerated depreciatoin (if the ration is positive) or is deduced (if the ratio is negative). |
| Depreciation Factor |
Additional depreciation works in conjunction with switch  or on their own.
With the help of this factor can be for individual fixed asset on the basis of minimum rate of depreciation calculated an additional activity-based depreciation, which increases minimal and accelerated depreciation (positive coefficient) respectively it will be subtracted (if coefficient is negative).
Factor for Activity-based depreciation can be calculated with the help of Pantheon. Switch Activity-Based Depreciation need to be marked. We can open new spreadsheet with an arrow  . We need to enter Units in Life Cycle first and for each depreciation calculation also or Units in Period or Cumulative Units. Depreciation factor is automatically calculated.
We will see the depreciation of FA line only when document type for depreciation calculation is opened.
 Values in the table activity based depreciation is not possible to change after calculated and confirmed depreciation. Pantheon will inform us about that :
Depreciation calculation need to be restore first and corrections can be done after that. After the correction of the units we depreciate asset again.
|
| Activity-Based Depreciation |
Checked switch simplify the calculation of depreciation if an asset depreciated according to the actual wear. Wear is entered in the above presented table before calculating depreciation.
Entering data on actual wear is also possible in the panel Depreciation / indexation of fixed assets.
Depreciation Category need to be set also at activity-based depreciation.
|
| Salvage value |
You can enter the amount of salvage value, to which fixed asset are depreciated during the period of use.
Example: You purchased fixed asset in the amount of €300,000 and which is depreciated by the depreciation rate of 30 %. Although you plan to sell it after 2 years of use and you suppose that you shall get €200,000 from selling it. That is why this information is entered in the field for determining of salvage value so that the program shall calculate depreciation to this amount only.
See also the example in Usage of salvage value.
