      We are currently on GP215 r2 and implementing fixed assets from and external system to GP Fixed assets.

      We have all the assets in and when we go to Depreciate it only depreciates  a few of the assets?  The assets the didn’t depreciate show the depreciated date of 12/31/2016 however the Current Depreciation field is blank.

      Any Ideas on what we may have configured incorrectly on the asset that did not depreciate?

      See attached screen shot.

      Thanks for any help.

      -Danny

      Hi Danny,

      I haven’t used the FA module in a while, but I did notice that the Yearly Depreciation Rate is set at 10% of your Cost Basis but your Original Life is only 5 years.  (Meaning your Yearly rate should be 20%)  Also, since your YTD depreciation amount equals your yearly depreciation rate, GP thinks that there isn’t anything left to depreciate for the year.

      Hope this helps!

      Based on a 5 year life and a Placed in Service date of July 1, 2016, the asset has already been depreciated for 6 months to December 31, 2016.  ($70,302/60*6 = $7,030.20)

      Hi Danny

      Your Placed in Service Date drives the depreciation. 

      Because your YTD Depreciation is equal to 6 months of depreciation GP will not calculate any more depreciation for the asset.  For a full year your depreciation should be $14,060.40 but since the Placed in Service Date is 7/1 and you have a YTD of $7,030.20 GP is acting like you hit your max dep for the year.

      Hope this helps.
