The transaction could be used in the following scenarios: Reclassify an existing asset to a new class or to correct an error Transfer an asset to a new one with the same class. This may be necessary to execute the change of the remaining useful life of an asset but still spread the net book value evenly throughout the remaining life without allowing the system to catch up the postings of the missing or extra depreciation of the past periods For an asset with historical cost $1,000 and accumulated depreciation of $100, the posting of the intra-company transfer posting will be follows:
Cr. Fix asset – acquisition cost (old asset) 1,000
Dr. Accumulated depreciation (old asset) 100
Dr. Fix asset – acquisition cost (new asset) 1,000
Cr. Accumulated depreciation (new asset) 100

Month End Processing – Depreciation Run AFAB
Dr. Depreciation expense
Cr. Accumulated depreciation
Note that the above posting to G/L will be done in a summary level by G/L accounts and cost center levels because the depreciation expense has to be charged to cost center in CO. However, the detailed depreciation amount of each asset will also be stored in Asset Accounting such that each unique asset master record will also have its unique posted depreciation amount. Besides, after each depreciation run, the system will issue a report which list out the depreciation posting amount of each individual assets as a record. This is advised that this report should be kept as an additional audit trail.
