After you have created a depreciation proposal there might have been account changes for balances and depreciation costs. You can validate the depreciation cost transactions in each period, for the current year, and change the cost depreciation to affect prior period. The validation means that you can select for which, if any, assets you want to change the cost in prior periods.

Note: When you run the update of the proposal where you have validated periods, the whole sum will be booked in G/L in the period entered in Accounting period on the Depreciation – G/L parameters panel, and not individually for each period. For further information, see Update a depreciation proposal.

  1. Select the Work with depreciations menu item.
  2. On the Depreciation – proposal overview panel, select the proposal you want to work with.
  3. You access Depreciation – activity selection. Select the Maintain proposal activity and click OK.
  4. You access Depreciation – Proposal maintenance listing the old depreciation cost transactions that can be transferred to the new account. Click Account change – validation to show the values before and after movement. Note: This key is only relevant if balance movements will be created when updating the proposal.
  5. You access Depreciation – account maintenance. Select the account that you want to validate.
  6. You access Depreciation – period validation showing the individual periods.
    No of assets
    This is the number of assets for which the prior account can be changed.
    Selected assets
    This is the number of assets that have already been changed manually.

    Select the periods that you want to update with the current account and click OK. Note: The periods selected must be in sequence and you must not leave the latest one out, e.g. you cannot select 0501 and 0502, without having selected 0503, but you can pick 0502 and 0503. You can choose past periods to update with the current account. Note: The period validation is only a proposal and can at any time up until the actual update be changed. Exit the routine.
