Hi,

report on fixed assets generated by system.From
capitalization date, we must start calculating depreciation.

It is a subsidiary ledger. We use the term, Chart of
Depreciation. Depreciation areas are of 3 types 1. Book
depreciation ( according to Company Law) , 2 tax
Depreciation & 3. Cost based Depreciation. Depreciation
rates vary from shift to Shift 24 Hours – 3 shifts or 8
hours – one shift.

Depreciation Methods are of 2 types .
1. Straight Line method
2. Decline Balance method

Rules for Asset Accounting

1. Sub Asset master is to be created with reference to main
Asset Master

3. In Asset class, we assign Account Determination
4. For Account Determination, we assign the account, based
upon the transactions like purchase, sale, scrap, loss,

I know that in version ECC6 exists the functionality of document splitting like this: If an Invoice is for 11,000/-.Then we write the GL as : vendor A/C Dr XXXX to Purchase 1 XXX to Purchase 2 XXX to Tax XX But through Document Splitting we can write it based on the %age of sharing as 80 : 20%.. Vendor A/c 8,800(DR) Purchase A/C 8,000(Cr) Tax 800 (Cr) Vendor A/C 2,200 (Dr) Purchase 2000(Cr) Tax 200(Cr) This is called Document Splitting But when you talk about tax, you mean a line item created manually like tax or a document where you complete the tax code and the line is created automatically? Thanks a lot in advance. REgards,Lorena
