Purpose

The Depreciation component makes it possible to manage the following types of depreciation in the system:

Depreciation keys control the automatic calculation of depreciation in the system. These depreciation keys can be modified. In this way, you can define your own methods for calculating asset values.

Interest calculation for imputed interest in cost accounting is treated as a depreciation type by the system, and is therefore also controlled by depreciation keys and calculation methods, similarly to the calculation of depreciation.

Note

The following objects describe automatically calculated depreciation. The handling of manual depreciation (unplanned depreciation) is explained in detail in Manual Planning of Depreciation.
