Depreciation This Run Amounts in Sage Fixed Assets Depreciation

Created on  | Last modified on 

Summary

How the system calculates Depreciation This Run (DTR) in Sage Fixed Assets Depreciation. It also explains how to determine the depreciation periods included in the DTR amount.

Resolution

Understand Depreciation This Run

Depreciation This Run (DTR) is the depreciation amount calculated between:
  • The Prior Through Date
  • The current depreciation calculation date
The Depreciation Expense Report displays these dates to help you identify the period included in the DTR amount.

Review report dates

  • The As of date shows the current depreciation calculation date.
  • The Prior Thru column shows the last depreciation calculation date before the current run.

Example

If the last depreciation calculation occurred in December 2023 and you run depreciation for January 2024:
  • The As of Date shows January 2024.
  • The Prior Thru column shows December 2023.
  • The DTR amount represents one month of depreciation for January 2024.

Correct an unexpected DTR amount

If the DTR amount includes more periods than expected, or the Prior Thru date is blank or incorrect:
  1. Run depreciation for one period before the target period.
  2. Ignore the DTR amount from that report.
  3. Run depreciation again for the target period.
A period can be monthly, quarterly, or yearly.
Note: When you run depreciation to a past period, the report doesn't use a Prior Through Date.

Adjustment convention consideration

This information applies to active assets that aren't taking adjustment convention changes.
Note: Assets using an immediate adjustment convention can record recent adjustments in an earlier period. [Writing Style Agent | Word]
