Change Depreciation Accounting Status on an Asset

Security:
Process: Business Asset Accounting
in the Business Asset Accounting functional area.
Set the accounting status for depreciation expense lines or clear the accounted status on assets in an asset accounting book. Setting the accounting status helps you avoid generating accounting journals for depreciation expense for prior periods.
You can set the depreciation accounting status when:
  • Registration and assign asset accounting are complete.
  • There is at least 1 asset depreciation schedule that doesn't have expense lines posted.
  • The asset doesn't have an In Progress event.
  1. From the related actions menu of an asset, select
    Business Asset
    Change Depreciation Accounting Status
    .
    The task is available until Workday posts depreciation expense using the
    Record Depreciation Amortization Expense
    task for that asset book.
  2. As you complete the task, consider:
    Option Description
    Restricted to Asset Books

    Accounted
    .
    Set/Clear Accounted Status
    Select to either set or clear the accounted status.
    Depreciation Period On or Before
    Specify the date that you want the accounting status to take effect.
Workday sets the deprecation accounting status to
Accounted
for the selected fiscal periods and asset books.
