3512659 - Depreciation Calculation with Depreciation Method L011 Str.-line from rem.life nbv to 0

• For the Fixed Asset ABC, Depreciation starts from the year YYYY.
• A Manual Write Down for Fixed Asset ABC by defining Depreciation Method L010 - Str.-line from acq.value to 0 is posted reducing the amount of Useful Life Years from YYYY+5 to YYYY+3 (if the Useful Life is 5 years).
• So, the Depreciation Method L011 Str.-line from rem.life nbv to 0 is used because the revaluations considered earlier than in the last year of the asset's useful life is needed and the useful life of a Fixed Asset is not affected by a revaluation. Now, the depreciation is until YYYY+5.
• The depreciation rate is decreased.

ABC refers to the Fixed Asset ID.
