AM180


AM180 - Depreciation Calculation and Listing

**Form Purpose
Run Depreciation Calculation and Listing (AM180) to compute depreciation for
an asset book or asset book group for a company or company group. Only assets
that have been released either online or by AM170 (Processing Release) are
eligible for depreciation calculation. You can run this program as often as
you want. An optional edit listing without depreciation calculation is also
available.

**Processing Effect
- If you run this program on a regular asset book, AM180 calculates the
depreciation for each asset based on the depreciation method defined
individually for each asset.

- If you run this program for a Part 32 (asset class) book, AM180 calculates
the depreciation for each class of assets, based on the average asset account
balance in each of the asset class accounts, and on the depreciation
percentage defined for each account.

Note For asset class depreciation, proper implementation is critical to avoid
over-depreciation. If you use this feature, you must strictly follow the
one-on-one correlation between a type and the set of General Ledger accounts
used by an asset class. For instance, you should not set up class-depreciated
assets that use the same asset account (that is, company, accounting unit,
account) but have different accounts for depreciation expense and accumulated
depreciation. In addition, when multiple class depreciation books are used,
all assets belonging to an asset class (referencing the same asset account)
must use the same class depreciation book.

**More Information
Before you can close a period using AM190 (Period Close), you must process
all depreciable assets for a book through this program. (Use Compute option A
(All Assets).)
