3567806 - No Depreciation Calculated In The Month Of Migration For Migrated Fixed Assets

Fixed Assets are migrated in the system with a depreciation method which has the period control method key 01-Pro rata at period start date applies.
This means, that with this key the depreciation start date is always on the first day of the period in which the migration takes place.

1. In the Fixed Asset work center navigate to the Fixed Assets view.
2. Select the Fixed Asset, press Edit and select Values.
3. In the Values tab, under Valuation Values per Set of Books and here under Journal you can see that the Migration was posted in period AAA.YYYY.
4. Now navigate to the Depreciation Overview sub-tab.
5. Here you notice that the Depreciation only starts in period BBB.YYYY, after the acquisition transfer posting.

For all periods which are not the last period of the fiscal year, the system expects you to also migrate the depreciation values for that period along with the migration of acquisition costs. i.e. there would not be any automatic depreciation calculation for the period of migration AAA.YYYY. 
Of course the period of migration would also be considered in the depreciation calculation.

If you do not do that, the system would adjust the amounts in the next immediate period BBB.YYYY.

Only when the period of migration posting is equal to the last period of the fiscal year, the system calculates the depreciation for that period and places the 
values as pending depreciation for the same period (as there is no next period to post any adjustments to).

In case you would like to post depreciation for AAA.YYYY, you could reverse the migration for this fixed asset and re-migrate the values along 
with the depreciation for the period AAA/YYYY. The automatic depreciation posting does not happen for the period of migration.

Otherwise the depreciation for the month of AAA.YYYY will be posted in the next period BBB.YYYY ( Deprecation for month AAA.YYYY and BBB.YYYY).
