Asset Depreciation Schedule

The row by row plan of depreciation dates and amounts for one asset and finance book. Posting a row creates a Depreciation Entry journal.

In detail

The Asset Depreciation Schedule is the month by month plan that BRAccount builds when an Asset is submitted: one row per period with the date, the amount and, once posted, the Journal Entry number. There is one schedule per asset and finance book. Each posted row produces a Depreciation Entry that debits Depreciation - Property, Plant and Equipment - YFF and credits Accumulated Depreciation - YFF. In the demo the rows of ACC-ASS-2026-00001 and ACC-ASS-2026-00002 falling in the same month were posted together as ACC-JV-2026-00091 for Rs 1,235.54. You cannot edit a submitted schedule; cancel and amend the Asset to change useful life or salvage value.

Formula

Row amount = (Cost - Salvage value) / Total number of depreciations; the last row absorbs rounding
