Hi Franco,

Your advise is indeed helpeful. I have checked AW01N.

System is using Dep. Periods 6/12 and not 12/12 for Area 02. (For Area 01 it uses 12/12)

So for year 2015 system is doing the following:

Base value: 30.596,07
% rate: 20%
Dep.periods: 6/12
Amount: 3.059,61
Base value: 30.596,07
% rate: 10%
Dep. periods: 6/12
Amount: 1.529,81

It is therefore posting total depreciation of 4.589,42...

I checked the Period Control assigned to the Depreciation key - It is exactly the same one as the ones used for the straight line depreciation (Area 01) - so not clear why for Area 01 is calculating 12/12 and for Area 02 6/12.

It seems it is taking into account the migration date (or the fiscal year):

We work with FY: April - March.
Migration date was: 01.04.2012

For the above example the capitalization date was 01.10.2011 (so 6 months prior to 01.04.2012 so that is why it is getting 6/12 and 6/12).
I have checkd for a similar example but with capitalization date 01.08.2011 - it is now getting for Year 2015: 4/12 at 20% and 8/12 at 10% - instead of 12/12 at 10%)

Is there any other function I should check and not the Period control to make it always 12/12?

Thanks once again!

Subject: Anticipated Depreciation - Italy Local Gaap

Hello All,

Italy depreciates asset on Local Gaap (Local Depreciation area) based on an "anticipated depreciation". This is: The first 3 years of useful life depreciates at a rate that doubles the straight line depreciation rate. Starting on the 4th year it continues depreciation based on straight line.

Example 1 : Asset with useful life 10 Years. Acquisition: 1000€. Straigt line = 1000/10 = 10% annual depreciation.

But with "anticipated depreciation" the asset will depreciate like this:

Year 1: 20%
Year 2: 20%
Year 3: 20%
Year 4: 10%
Year 5: 10%
Year 6: 10%
Year 7: 10%

Example 2: Asset with useful life 8 Years. Acquisition: 1000€. Straigt line = 1000/8 = 12,5% annual depreciation.

But with "anticipated depreciation" the asset will depreciate like this:

Year 1: 25%
Year 2: 25%
Year 3: 25%
Year 4: 12,5%
Year 5: 12,5%

I have created specific Multilevel methods based on percentage levels. I have assigned this multilevel method to a Depreciation Key with Base method: Ordinary: stated percentage.

This is working fine for assets that are newly created in the system. This depreciation is not working Ok for migrated assets.

Can anyone, with experience in Italian customer, advice on how to configure this? (Both the multilevel method and the depreciation key)

Thanks so much.
