Depreciation this run is too high
Description
Cause

Depreciation This Run shows the amount of depreciation the asset has incurred since the last depreciation run. The Prior Thru Date marks the end of the previous run. The Current Thru Date marks the end of the current run. 

If the Prior Thru Date on the asset is incorrect or blank, the amount for Depreciation this Run will be incorrect. This can occur when:

  • Running depreciation to a prior period
  • Running depreciation with Force recalculation checked
  • If a disposal date is in the same month or before an asset’s Current Thru Date
Resolution
  1. In Sage Fixed Assets go to Depreciation, Depreciate.
  2. Select the desired Group.
  3. Select the Books you’re working with, enter the date of the prior period, and click OK.
    Note: Only select Force Recalculation if:
    • The Fiscal Year End changed
    • You added a Short Year to the Company
    • You used the 168 Allowance Switch to apply/undo 168 Allowance
    • You used the MARCS Convention Switch to apply/remove the Mid-quarter Convention
  4. When calculations are complete, if a report appears, ignore it. While the Total Accumulation will be correct, it will still show Depreciation This Run with a high amount.
  5. Using the same Group, Book, and Run options, enter the Date for the current reporting period, and click OK.

Note: If an asset is set for immediate adjustment, the system may reassign adjustments. It could move adjustments recorded in a recent period to an earlier one. To check adjustment settings, go to File, Edit CompanyBook Overrides Tab.
