Changing an Asset's Depreciation Method
At times it may be necessary to change a depreciation method after a fixed asset has been entered and accumulated depreciation has been applied. Go to Financials > Depreciation > Depreciable Assets and select the asset you wish to change. Note: If the Depreciation module is not installed, no Depreciation options will show up in the menu.
-
Set the asset to status "Hold".
-
Add the new target method from the New button under Methods.
-
Change primary switch to the new method and make sure there is a checkmark next to the correct depreciation method. (This action should verify the process to move accumulated assets.)
-
Remove the old method if desired.
-
Set status to Depreciate.
- Click OK to save changes.
