Fixed assets - depreciation appears as negative when asset still active with positive net value

Hello @gloyo12 ,

Is it possible the Asset Useful Life changed? In this example, I changed the Useful Life of a partially depreciated asset from 10 years to 20 years. Show Accurate Depreciation is checked ON in FA Preferences screen.

Next I calculated depreciation for the asset and the Depreciation History tab shows negative depreciation because Acumatica will correct past over-depreciation in the next month.

If the example does not answer your question, please show us more details about your asset including Depreciation History tab. Thank you.

No changes was recently done to the useful life and I checked the formula and also the depreciation history, I can’t find nothing wrong


Hi @gloyo12 were you able to find a solution? Thank you!


When the show accurate depreciation is checked the first depreciation ran in the system will deduct the accumulated depreciation brought in from the system. Then when depreciation is ran the next time, it will enter the correct depreciation and put the accumulated in the periods it should have been. 
 

Here is the system explanation:
The way calculated depreciation amounts are displayed in the system. Leave the check box clear to view the calculated depreciation amounts. Alternatively, you can select the check box to display the accurate (that is, reported) depreciation amount for the previous financial periods and the depreciation adjustment for the current period. The adjustment is calculated as follows.Adjustment = B2 – B1 + A1In this calculation, 

B2

 is the calculated depreciation amount for the current financial period, 

B1

 is the calculated amount of the previous financial period, and 

A1

 is the reported depreciation amount of the previous financial period.
