YTD Depreciation Incorrect For Assets Added Via ADI and Mass Additions (Doc ID 189519.1)

APPLIES TO:

Oracle Assets - Version 11.5.10.0 to 11.5.10.0 [Release 11.5]
Information in this document applies to any platform.
This document is a replacement for 162929.1 which has been deleted.

SYMPTOMS

The year to date (YTD) depreciation for assets added with ADI is not as expected.  The assets were added via the mass additions interface table and were added with YTD depreciation and depreciation reserve.  

CAUSE

When performing a data conversion into Oracle Fixed Assets, two columns need to be populated in the FA_MASS_ADDITIONS interface table - the Amortize_NBV_Flag ('Y') and Amortization_Start_Date (date in the current FA period).

This is important for correct depreciation calculations when importing assets with accumulated depreciation.  The amortization start date should be a date in the currently open period in FA.  It is an as of or start from date.  The last or the first day in the open FA period could be used.

SOLUTION

Make sure that columns AMORTIZE_NBV_FLAG ('Y') and AMORTIZATION_START_DATE (date in current FA period) in the table FA_MASS_ADDITIONS are populated before posting.
