Add Fixed Asset with LTD Depreciation

  • Add Fixed Asset with LTD Depreciation

    Posted by Andrew Clifton on February 25, 2025 at 12:21 pm

    Hello!

    My company needs to add an asset that was technically placed in service in a prior period. Up to this point, we have manually calculated depreciation and posted straight to the GL. Now we want to add the asset to the fixed asset module, but want to make sure we account for the depreciation that has already occurred.

    Most of the research I’ve found is centered around updating the depreciation sensitive fields of an existing asset. When adding a new asset, is it as simple as updating the LTD Depreciation field on the asset book window? In my example below, will GP properly calculate depreciation based on the remaining NBV of $6,000 when running depreciation through the fixed asset module? Also, what will be the effect on the GL of manually adding the $1,000 of LTD Depreciation?

    Thank you!

    Andrew,

    I have adjusted LTD figures previously, and it does not create a GL entry from changing it, that I recall. I believe it will calculate the YTD depreciation when you calculate depreciation. You may need to initially do manual JE if the current year doesn’t calculate the way you want, when you add the asset to depreciation.
