Method Change
This window is used to modify the depreciation parameters for the displayed asset.
It is called from the Actions menu in the Assets management function.
Changing the method is prohibited:
- Inactive assets,
- assets with the In template holding type,
- update 8.0.0 and higher: for assets classified as for sale,
- for assets which have been the object of an actual asset issue,
- for assets in the process of an intra-group transfer.
Prerequisites
Refer to documentation Implementation
Screen management
This window is composed of:
- a header containing the asset identification information,
- the Parameters tab that is used to enter the parameters related to the new depreciation methods.
Management method of the window
The management mode is the same for this window as for all the actions that can be applied to assets.
It is therefore advisable:
1/ First, to enter the parameters linked to the action being implemented.
2/ Then, it is possible:
- Either to directly validate the entry of the new parameters by clicking on [OK]. A consistency check is then carried out on the new method; if an error occurs, a message is displayed and prevents the updating of the asset; it is then necessary to correct the parameters with errors.
- Or to go through an intermediate stage of control of the parameters entered by clicking [Control]. A window is displayed, which allows both the visualization of the result of applying the new parameters on the asset and on its depreciation plans when these parameters are coherent and also to repair, in the color display, any lines with errors as well as displaying the corresponding error messages. An asset with an error is not updated with the new parameters; it is displayed with the parameters of the original method.
Click on the button [End] button to close the control window; the parameter entry window is displayed again, making it possible either to confirm by clicking [OK] if no error has been detected, or to correct any parameter in error.
Note: This stage is part of the management method which is the same for different processing tasks, whether they concern a mass or an individual processing. Its only real usefulness is in mass processings, where it authorizes, if necessary, manual adjustment of the values for certain processed assets. In unit processings, this window can be accessed only in view mode, the entered parameters affecting only one single asset; their adjustment is done directly in the entry window of these parameters.
3/ If the parameters are correct, the [OK] is used to validate their application and to return to the Assets screen in modification mode. The processing is taken into account only after saving the asset.

Tab Setup definition
Presentation
This tab is made up of a table containing as many lines as there are depreciation plans managed by the company.
This table is used:
- To carry out any required adjustment on one or more elements in the depreciation method after having set the Update flag, which precedes it, to the value Yes . The different management rules belonging to each parameter, are specified at the level of the field descriptions.
- To specify the effective date of the method change. It can either be:
- the Period start date
- the FY start date
- the Depreciation start date.
The selection of this date depends on the start date of the asset depreciation. The various possibilities as well as the associated processing terms are described below. - To specify the management terms of the potential variance on depreciation, when the change of method takes effect at the asset depreciation start date, and when this date is earlier than the start date of the current fiscal year.
Note: when the effective date is later than the depreciation start date, the asset presents an accumulated depreciation; this is why the method change applies to the net value of the asset and causes a change of depreciation method; the equivalent residual method being preferred.
After entry of the parameters, it is necessary either to validate using the buttonbutton, or to perform a check of the information entered via. See the management mode of the window described above.

Potential effective dates and processing terms
The table below lists the different potential choices for the effective date of the method change and the adjustment or processing terms applied, according to the asset depreciation start date.
1/ The depreciation start date is less than the start date of the current FY fiscal year.
Effective date | Processing Terms |
Depreciation start date | The depreciation total on FY-1 end is recalculated. |
Current F Fiscal year start date | The depreciation total on FY-1 end is not recalculated. |
Start date of current period P | The depreciation total on FY-1 end is not recalculated. |
2/ The depreciation start date is greater than or equal to the start date of the current FY and less than the start date of the current period P.
Effective date | Processing Terms |
Depreciation start date | The charge of the F fiscal year will be recalculated using the new method. |
Start date of current period P | The depreciation total of the closed periods of the current fiscal year is not recalculated. |
3/ The depreciation start date is greater than or equal to the start date of the current period P.
Effective date | Processing Terms |
Depreciation start date | The charge of period P (or the depreciation start period) will be recalculated based on the new depreciation method. |
A list of examples is provided below, illustrating the implementations and processing terms available.
Effective date and consecutive method changes:
During an ongoing fiscal year, multiple depreciation method changes can be carried out. The implementation of a method change cannot be prior to the previous change.
Example
Let us consider a fiscal year containing 4 periods: P1, P2, P3 and P4.
- During P2, a change of method is made to be effective at Period start.
During P3, only a change of method to be effective at Period start will be possible. - During P1, a change of method is made to be effective at Fiscal year start.
During P3, a change of method to be effective at Fiscal year start or a change of method to be effective at Period start will be possible.

(1) The variance between the new total on FY-1 and the previous one: 2,505.05 - 3,005.46 = -500.41 must be posted as Carry-forward at the start of F financial year.
The new total at the end of F-1 (2,505.05) cancels and replaces the previous one (3,005.46), even though the forcing flag is set to Yes for this total.
(2) The charge of the fiscal year is recalculated using the new duration, the charge of the P period contains the depreciation total variance of the closed periods of the F fiscal year:
(10,000.00 x 16,67 %) = 1,667.00 x (181 days / 365 days) = 826.65 - 493.15 = 333.50
(3) At the closing of 2006 fiscal year, the total at the end of the year is calculated as follows:
New total at the end of 2005 re-caculated after the change of method + Charge of 2006
Let us consider: 2,505.05 / 1,667.00 = 4,172.05

(1) The variance between the new total on FY-1 and the previous one: 2,505.05 - 3,005.46 = -500.41 must be posted as Exceptional charge for the F fiscal year, this exceptional charge must be distributed on the current period and the following ones.
For the period [01/04/06 - 30/06/06]: -500.41 x (181 / 365) = -248.15
For the period [01/07/06 - 30/09/06]: -500.41 x (273 / 365) - (-248.5) = -126.13
For the period [01/10/06 - 30/12/06]: -500.41 - -374.28 = -126.13
(2) The charge of the fiscal year is recalculated using the new duration, the charge of the P period contains the depreciation total variance of the closed periods of the F fiscal year:

(1) The variance between the new total on FY-1 and the previous one: 2,505.05 - 3,005.46 = -500.41 must be integrated to the charge of the fiscal year. Let us consider 1,667.00 - 500.41 = 1,169.59
(2) The charge of the fiscal year is recalculated using the new duration, which contains the variance on the total at the end of F-1. The charge of the P period contains the depreciation total variance of the closed periods of the F fiscal year:
1,166.59 X (181 days / 365 days) = 578.50 - 493.15 = 85.35
(3) At the closing of 2006 fiscal year, the total at the end of the year is calculated as follows:
total at the end of 2005 + Charge of 2006

(1) The variance between the new total on FY-1 and the previous one: 2,505.05 - 3,005.46 = -500.41 must be integrated to the charge of the fiscal year (1,667.00 - 500.41 = 1,169.59) and posted in the charge of the P period.
Let us consider [1,667.00 x (181 / 365) - 493.15] + (-500.41) = -166.91
(2) The charge of each following period does not contain any variance on the total at the end of F-1. The calculation is as follows:
1,667.00 x (273 / 365) - 326.24 + (500.41 ) = 420.17 --> total at the end of 3rd period = 746.41
1,667.00 c (365 / 365) - 746.41 + (500.41 ) = 420.18 --> total at the end of 4th period = 1,166.59
(3) At the closing of 2006 fiscal year, the total at the end of the year is calculated as follows:
total at the end of 2005 + Charge of 2006
Let us consider: 3,005.46 / 1,166.59 = 4,172.05
Depreciation start date less than Current fiscal year FY

(1) The new charge of 2006 fiscal year equals to: Net value start of 2006 x (number of days in 2006 / number of days between 01/01/2006 and the depreciation end date: 30/06/2010).
Let us consider: (10,000 - 3005.46) x (365 / 1,642 days) = 1,554.82
The duration change is performed in the current period [01/04/2006 - 30/06/2006]; the charge of this period is equal to: Charge of fiscal year x (number of days until 30/06/2006 / number of days in 2006) - Depreciation total of P-1.
Let us consider: [1,554.82 x (181 / 365)] - 493.15 = 277.87

(1) The charge of the method change period is calculated as follows:
(10,000 - 3,005.46 - 493.15 ) x (275 days / 1,552 days) x (91 days / 275 days) = 381.20
1,552 days = depreciation residual duration, corresponding to the period [01/04/2006 - 30/06/2010]
275 days = residual duration in the fiscal year, equal to the period [01/04/2006 - 31/12/2006]
91 days = period duration [01/04/2006 - 30/06/2006]
(2) The new charge of 2006 fiscal year equals to:
493.15 + [(10,000 - 3,005.46) x (275 days / 1,552 days)] = 1,645.14

(1) The charge of the method change period is calculated as follows:
(10,000 - 323.29 ) x (275 days / 1,402 days) x (91 days / 275 days) = 628.09
1,402 days = depreciation residual duration, corresponding to the period [01/04/2006 - 31/10/2006]
275 days = residual duration in the fiscal year corresponding to the period [01/04/2006 - 31/12/2006]
91 days = period duration [01/04/2006 - 30/06/2006]
(2) The new charge of 2006 fiscal year equals to:
323.29 + [ (10,000 - 323.29 ) x (275 days / 1,402 days)] = 2,221.36
Processing description
An method change carries out the following operations:
- Application of the new parameters entered.
- Updating of the asset and its depreciation plans according to the processing terms described above and linked to the choice of effective date for the change.
- Generation of a Method change event (FASMTC).
- The operation effective date is recorded in the EVTDAT field; it receives the effective date of the method change.
- The accounting effective date is saved in the CPTDATINT field; it is assigned the highest date among the following dates: Start date of the current period, Depreciation start date.
The user can view the events in the Events journal window that can be accessed from the Other info tab of the Fixed assets management function.
- Archiving, in a dedicated table (DEPRECARC) of the depreciation plan before method change, if the company is submitted to the French legislation (FRA). It can be viewed in the Archived plan tab, accessible from the inquiry of the event detail.
