Simulation 
Purpose
Simulation is the experimental changing of the depreciation parameters for all assets or for certain assets. When simulating the value development of assets, you can vary all of the important depreciation terms (depreciation key, useful life, index series). There are several different approaches that you can use:
Simulation of values for a single asset by changing the depreciation parameters using the asset value display transaction There are two main parameters that you can change:
Depreciation terms (depreciation key, useful life, and so on)
Transactions
Simulation of depreciation for future fiscal years for groups of assets with the help of a special simulation report and a simulation version (refer to Simulation Version ).
Simulation of the accumulated depreciation from the past using a new depreciation area.
Note
In addition, it is possible to include planned capital investments (orders/projects and capital investment programs) in the simulation.
Procedures
