Creating the custom Depreciation method in oracle APPS


How to create Custom Depreciation method in Oracle Fixed Assets.

Requirement: 

There is an asset with cost of 10000. The life of asset is 3 years. Salvage value is 5%. Now if you want to calculate the depreciation with WDV method (63.16%) with life basis. And if you want to calculate the depreciation on salvage value.

For this we use the Calculated type Depreciation Method , system will not take the depreciation rate. And also you cannot calculate the depreciation salvage value.

If you use the Flat rate method, we cannot use the life of asset.

So for this we need to create a new depreciation method with formula method.




Create a new asset with this depreciation method 





Theoretical calculations for the above case



asset cost =10000





dep rate = 0.6316

2016 has 366 days


NBV
Depraciation/yr


Depreciation/day
depreciation/30 days
1st Year




=6316/366=
17.256


10000
6316
=10000-6316=
3684

17.2568306
517.704918
2nd Year







3684
2326.8144
1357.186

6.374833973
191.2450192
3rd Year







1357.186
857.198425
499.9872

2.348488836
70.45466507








after 3 years the NBV is the salvage value=500



 

Now run the what if analysis for this asset.

 



Open the report output, and check the depreciation for each period.
 


In this way we can achieve the depreciation calculations
