This document is an appendix to the documentation on the setup of Depreciation methods.

In standard, Sage X3 comes with a number of depreciation methods.
Some are associated with a given legislation, while others are common to all legislations.

This document describes the calculation principles of the depreciation methods associated with the Spanish legislation.

SEEREFERTTO The other methods are described in appendix documentations, which can be accessed from the documentation on the depreciation methods common to all legislations.

LE - Spanish straight-line months

It is the straight-line depreciation method applied according to Spanish rules.

Depreciation origin

The origin is the 1st day of the month entered in the depreciation start date.

Duration

The user can specify either the duration, or the rate.
If the duration is specified by the user, Sage X3 automatically determines the depreciation rate as well as the depreciation end date based on this duration.

The duration is expressed in years and hundredths of years.
For example : 6,66 or 6,67 for a duration of 6 years 2/3. 

If the rate is specified, the depreciation duration is automatically determined based on the entered rate.

Rate

The rate can be specified by the user.
In this case, Sage X3 determines the depreciation duration based on the rate entered.This determined duration will be used to calculate the depreciation end date.

If the depreciation rate is not specified by the user, Sage X3 will determine it as follows:1 / duration with a rounding on the 4th decimal.

Examples:

Depreciation end date

It is determined as follows:

                           1st day of the month entered as Depreciation start date + depreciation duration

This end date is adjusted on the last day of the month.

Prorata temporis

Time is expressed in months or weeks.
By default, it is expressed in months; to be expressed in weeks, it is necessary to activate the Prorata temporis in weeks flag, at Context management level.

A prorata temporis is applied in the following cases:

  • During the acquisition fiscal year, if the depreciation originis not the 1st day of the fiscal year.

  • If the duration of a fiscal year differs from 12 months.
  • During the disinvestment fiscal year: the charge is calculated until the disposal day if it is the last of the month; otherwise, the charge is calculated until the end of the month that precedes the disposal. 
    This rule can be modified by Disposal rules: Disposal at the end of the previous FY and Disposal at the end of the current FY.

Depreciation charge

The depreciation expenditure is calculated in the following way :

Depreciation value * Depreciation rate * prorata temporis

A prorata temporis in months or in weeks is applied in the following cases:
- The Depreciation start date is beyond the fiscal year start date
- The fiscal year Duration differs from 12 months
- The Disposal date of the asset is in the interval [Fiscal year start date – Fiscal year end date]

Notes:
- Depreciable value = Gross value – Residual value
- Net depreciable value = Net value – Residual value
- If the depreciation end date is earlier or equal to the fiscal year end date, the fiscal year charge will automatically be loaded with the net depreciable value, so as to close the depreciation.

Distribution of the fiscal year charge on the periods

If the fiscal year is divided into several periods, the fiscal year charge is distributed over these periods as follows:

Period Charge pc =   

Fiscal year charge

*
( Σ p1 to pc ( (Period weight / Number of months or weeks in the period) * Number of holding months or weeks in the period )
/
Σ p1 to pc ( (Period weight / Number of months or weeks in the period) * Number of holding months or weeks in the period ) )
-
Depreciation total of previous periods

 p1 to pc = from the 1st holding period in the fiscal year to the current period included (1)
p1 to pf = from the 1st holding period in the fiscal year to the last holding period in the fiscal year

(1) Unless the asset is issued in the fiscal year before this current period or if it is completely depreciated in the fiscal year before this current period. The retained period thus is the minimum one among the 3 following ones:

- period of depreciation end if the Depreciation end date belongs to the interval [period start – period end] 
- disposal period if the Disposal date belongs to the interval [period start – period end]
- current period

Examples:

1st example 
  • Gross value: 10,000
  • Residual value: 0
  •  Depreciation start date: 11/5/2005
  •  Depreciation duration: 5 years, Rate: 20% --> Depreciation end date: 10/31/2010

SL - Spanish straight-line days

It is the straight-line depreciation method applied according to Spanish rules.

Depreciation origin

The depreciation is calculated from the day of effective first use of each depreciable element onwards; hence, Sage X3 retains the day specified as depreciation start date.

Duration

The user can specify the duration and/or the rate.
If the duration is specified by the user, Sage X3 automatically determines the depreciation rate as well as the depreciation end date based on this duration.
If the rate is specified, the depreciation duration is automatically determined based on the entered rate.
SEEINFO When duration and rate are specified, the rate takes priority.The default value for this management rule is "Priority to the rate", specified in the method setup.

The duration is expressed in years and thousandths of years.
For example : 6,666 or 6,667 for a duration of 6 years 2/3. 

Rate

The rate can be specified by the user.
In this case, Sage X3 determines the depreciation duration based on the rate entered.This determined duration will be used to calculate the depreciation end date.

If the depreciation rate is not specified by the user, Sage X3 will determine it as follows:1 / duration rounded to the 6th decimal to be displayed on the depreciation plan.
SEEINFOThe rate used for the calculation is not rounded. 

Depreciation end date

The depreciation end date is equal to:
Depreciation launch day + depreciation duration.

Examples:

Start date

End date

Prorata temporis

The prorata temporis is expressed in days. It is applied in the following situations:

  • During the acquisition fiscal year, if the depreciation start date is not the first day of the fiscal year.
  • If the fiscal year duration differs from 1 year.
  • During the disinvestment fiscal year: the charge is calculated until disposal day.
    This rule can be modified by Disposal rules: Disposal at the end of the previous FY, Disposal at the end of the current FY and No depreciation charge on the disposal day

Depreciation charges

The fiscal year charge is equal to:
Depreciable value * Depreciation rate * prorata temporis in days

Notes:
- Depreciable value = (Gross value – Residual value)
- Gross value = Depreciation basis
- If the option Priority to the rate is not specified at Depreciation method setup level, the depreciation end date has priority over the rate. In this case, if the depreciation end date is in the calculated period or fiscal year, the depreciation is closed. Net value - Residual value. 

Distribution of the fiscal year charge on the periods

If the fiscal year is divided into several periods, the fiscal year charge is distributed over these periods as follows:

Period Charge pc =   

Fiscal year charge

*
*( Σ p1 to pc ( (Period weight / Number of days in the period) * Number of days in the period )
/
Σ p1 to pf ( (Period weight / Number of days in the period) * Number of holding days in the period ) ]
-
Depreciation total of previous periods

 p1 to pc = from the 1st holding period in the fiscal year to the current period included (1)
p1 to pf = from the 1st holding period in the fiscal year to the last holding period in the fiscal year

(1) Unless the asset is issued in the fiscal year before this current period or if it is completely depreciated in the fiscal year before this current period. The retained period thus is the minimum one among the 3 following ones:

- period of depreciation end if the Depreciation end date belongs to the interval [period start – period end] 
- disposal period if the Disposal date belongs to the interval [period start – period end]
- current period

SEEINFO If the depreciation end date is inferior to the fiscal year end date, and at least one FCY charge superior to 0 exists, it is completely posted into the first FY period.This case may occur if the Priority to the rate option is specified for the depreciation method setup.

Examples:

1st example
  • Gross value: 10,000
  • Residual value: 0
  • Depreciation start date: 05/11/2005
  • Depreciation duration: 5 years, Rate: 20% --> Depreciation end date: 04/11/2010
  • Specificity: the second fiscal year has a duration of 6 months

DE - Spanish declining

It is the declining depreciation method applied according to Spanish rules: this depreciation method thus meets the Spanish accounting and fiscal standards.
It differs from the Spanish mixed declining depreciation method as the depreciation schedule end when the depreciation end date is detected.

Depreciation origin

The declining depreciation origin is the day entered in the depreciation start date.

Duration

It must be entered by the user, in years and hundredths of years.

Example: 6 years 2/3 = 6,66 or 6,67.

SEEINFO For this depreciation method, Sage X3 will round to 2 decimals all the durations entered or imported with more than 2 decimals.Ditto for residual durations calculated in the framework of intra-group sales.

Rate

The rate that can be applied to the declining depreciation calculation can neither be entered, not determined by field associations.
It is automatically determined by Sage X3 by multiplying the straight-line depreciation rate corresponding to the standard use duration of the fixed asset by a changeable coefficient based on this duration.

This changeable coefficient is called declining coefficient and varies based on the depreciation duration:

  • Duration < 5 years --> Coefficient = 1,5
  • Duration = 5 years and < 8 years --> Coefficient = 2
  • Duration = 8 years --> Coefficient = 2,5

The calculated depreciation rate is rounded to 2 decimals.

Examples:

Duration

Declining rate

3 years

(1 / 3) * 1.5 = 50%

4 years

(1 / 4) * 1.5 = 37.50%

5 years

(1 / 5) * 2 = 40%

6 years

(1 / 6) * 2 = 33.33%

6,66 or 6,67

(1 / 6.666666) * 2 = 30.00%

7 years

(1 / 7) * 2 = 28.57%

8 years

(1 / 8) * 2.5 = 31.25%

10 years

(1 / 10) * 2.5 = 25%

12 years

(1 / 12) * 2.5 = 20.83%

15 years

(1 / 15) * 2.5 = 16.67%

20 years

(1 / 20) * 2.5 = 12.5%

Depreciation end date

It is determined as follows:

                           Depreciation start date + Depreciation duration

Example 1:

Depreciation start date = 12/5/2005
Duration = 3 years
Depreciation end date = 12/4/2008

Example 2:

Depreciation start date = 1/1/2005
Duration = 5 years
Depreciation end date = 12/31/2009

Prorata temporis

Time is expressed in days.
A prorata temporis always expressed in days applies in the following cases:

  • During the acquisition fiscal year, if the depreciation origin is not the first day of the fiscal year.

  • If the duration of a fiscal year differs from 12 months.

  • During the disinvestment fiscal year: the charge is calculated until disposal day. This rule can be modified by Disposal rules: No depreciation expenditure on issue day, Prevous fiscal year end issue and Cuurent fiscal year end issue.

Depreciation charges

  • The depreciation charge of the 1st fiscal year is equal to:
       Depreciable value * declining rate * prorata temporis
     
    A Prorata temporis in days is applied in the following cases:
     
    - The Depreciation start date is beyond the fiscal year start date
    - The fiscal year Duration differs from 12 months
    - The Disposal date of the asset is in the interval [Fiscal year start date – Fiscal year end date]
  • The depreciation charge of the next fiscal years is equal to:
    Net depreciable value at fiscal year start * rate * prorata temporis  
     
    A Prorata temporis in days is applied in the following cases:
     
    - The fiscal year Duration differs from 12 months
    - The Disposal date of the asset is in the interval [Fiscal year start date – Fiscal year end date] 

    If the depreciation end date belongs to the interval [FY start date – FY end date], the FY charge equals to net depreciation value at FY start, in order to close the depreciation..

    A prorata temporis is then applied to this FY charge in the following situations:
    - The Disposal date of the asset is in the interval [Fiscal year start date – Fiscal year end date]
    and
    - The Disposal date is earlier than the Depreciation end date
     

Notes:
- Depreciable value = Gross value – Residual value
- Net depreciable value = Net value – Residual value

Distribution of the fiscal year charge on the periods

If the fiscal year is divided into several periods, the fiscal year charge is distributed over these periods as follows:

Period Charge pc =   

Fiscal year charge

*
( Σ p1 to pc ( (Period weight / Period number of days) * Number of holding days in the period )

/

( Σ p1 to pf ( (Period weight / Period number of days) * Number of holding days in the period )

-
Depreciation total of previous periods

 p1 to pc = from the 1st holding period in the fiscal year to the current period included (1)
p1 to pf = from the 1st holding period in the fiscal year to the last holding period in the fiscal year

 (1) Unless the asset is issued in the fiscal year before this current period or if it is completely depreciated in the fiscal year before this current period. The retained period thus is the minimum one among the 3 following ones:

- period of depreciation end if the Depreciation end date belongs to the interval [period start – period end] 
- disposal period if the Disposal date belongs to the interval [period start – period end]
- current period

Examples:

1st example 
  •  Gross value: 10,000
  • Residual value: 0
  •  Depreciation start date: 15/09/2005
  •  Depreciation duration: 5 years, Rate: 40 %
  • Depreciation end date: 9/14/2010

(1) 10,000.00 * 40% * 108/365 since the asset is held only for 108 days during this 1st fiscal year.

(2) 8,816.44 = 40%

(3) Fiscal year charge = Net value since the depreciation end date 9/14/2010 is to be found in the fiscal year

2nd example 
  •  Gross value:10,000
  • Residual value:0
  •  Depreciation start date:9/15/2005
  •  Depreciation duration:5 years, Rate:40 %
  • Depreciation end date:9/14/2010
  • Asset disposal date:1/10/2010

DI - Spanish mixed declining

It is the declining depreciation method applied according to Spanish rules: this depreciation method thus meets the Spanish accounting and fiscal standards. 
It is called mixed in so far as the depreciation plan ends in straight-line, like the French declining method.

Depreciation origin

The origin of thedeclining depreciation is the day specified in the depreciation start date.

Duration

It must be entered by the user, in years and hundredths of years.

Example: 6 years 2/3 = 6,66 or 6,67.

..\FCT\SEEINFO For this depreciation method, Sage X3 will round to 2 decimals all the durations entered or imported with more than 2 decimals.Ditto for residual durations calculated in the framework of intra-group sales.

Rate

The rate that can be applied to the declining depreciation calculation can neither be entered, not determined by field associations.
It is automatically determined by Sage X3 by multiplying the straight-line depreciation rate corresponding to the standard use duration of the fixed asset by a changeable coefficient.

This coefficient is called declining coefficient and varies based on the depreciation duration:

  • Duration < 5 years --> Coefficient = 1,5
  • Duration = 5 years and < 8 years --> Coefficient = 2
  • Duration = 8 years --> Coefficient = 2,5

The calculated depreciation rate is rounded to 2 decimals.

Examples:

6,66 or 6,67

(1 / 6.666666) * 2 = 30.00%

7 years

(1 / 7) * 2 = 28.57%

8 years

15 years

(1 / 15) * 2.5 = 16.67%

20 years

(1 / 20) * 2.5 = 12.5%

Depreciation end date

It is determined as follows:

                           Depreciation start date + Depreciation duration

Example 1:

Depreciation start date = 12/5/2005
Duration = 3 years
Depreciation end date = 12/4/2008

Example 2:

Depreciation start date = 1/1/2005

Duration = 5 years

Depreciation end date = 12/31/2009

Prorata temporis

Time is expressed in days. A prorata temporis always expressed in days applies in the following cases:

  • During the acquisition fiscal year, if the depreciation origin is not the first day of the fiscal year.

  • If the duration of a fiscal year differs from 12 months.

  • During the disinvestment fiscal year: the charge is calculated until disposal day. This rule can be modified by Disposal rules: No depreciation expenditure on issue day, Previous fiscal year end issue and Current fiscal year end issue.

Depreciation charges

  • The depreciation charge of the 1st fiscal year is equal to:
       Depreciable value * declining rate * prorata temporis
     
    A Prorata temporis in days is applied in the following cases:
     
    - The Depreciation start date is beyond the fiscal year start date
    - The fiscal year Duration differs from 12 months
    - The Disposal date of the asset is in the interval [Fiscal year start date – Fiscal year end date]
  • The depreciation charge of the next fiscal years is equal to:
     
    Net depreciable value at fiscal year start * rate * prorata temporis 
     
    A Prorata temporis in days is applied in the following cases:
     
    - The fiscal year Duration differs from 12 months
    - The Disposal date of the asset is in the interval [Fiscal year start date – Fiscal year end date] 

    If the depreciation net value at fiscal year start is inferior or equal to depreciation value / depreciation duration, the calculation above is replaced by:
     
    FY Charge = Net depreciable value at fiscal year start.

    A prorata temporis is then applied to this FY charge in the following situations:
    - The Fiscal year duration differs from 12 months
    and
    - The Disposal date of the asset is in the interval [Fiscal year start date – Fiscal year end date] 
     
    If the depreciation end date is earlier or equal to the fiscal year end date, the fiscal year charge will automatically be loaded with the net depreciable value, so as to close the depreciation.

     
    Notes
    :
    - Depreciable value = Gross value – Residual value
    - Net depreciable value = Net value – Residual value

Examples:

1st example 
  • Gross value: 10,000
  • Residual value: 0
  •  Depreciation start date: 9/15/2005
  •  Depreciation duration: 5 years, Rate: 40%
  • Depreciation end date: 9/14/2010
