This article applies to Microsoft Dynamics AX for all regions.
INTRODUCTION
This article describes that an update is available to correct the formula for the calculation of depreciation amounts after you post partial sales or scrap fixed assets in Poland in Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2.
More Information
The depreciation calculation after partial sale/scrap for the straight line percentage (PL) method should not consider the part of scrapped accumulated depreciation. For example,
Before you apply this update
01.01.2012 FA Acquisition cost 600,000;
Depreciation method – Straight line percentage (PL) with norm 20%
31.01.2012 Depreciation – 10,000 (600,000*20%/12)
01.02.2012 Partial scrap 50% in amount of 295,000 (600,000 – 10 000)/2
Actually, 295,000 consists of the following:
Scrap of acquisition cost = 600,000*50% = 300,000
Scrap of accumulated depreciation = -10,000*50% = -5,000
28.02.2012 Depreciation amount
Straight line percentage (PL):
(600,000 – 295,000)*20%/12 = 5 083.33 (This is incorrect.)
After you apply this update
Correct depreciation amount
Straight line percentage (PL):
(600,000 – 300,000)*20%/12 = 5,000
