Running Asset Depreciation in HAL ERP

1. Navigate to the Asset Module

  • Go to Asset Management → Depreciation Run.


2. Check Previous Depreciations

  • You can view all earlier depreciation entries recorded in the system (e.g., till 31st May 2025).

  • Best practice: Run depreciation monthly to track monthly expenses.

    • You can also run yearly, but monthly gives more granular reporting for management.


3. Create a New Depreciation Entry

  1. Click Create New.

  2. Enter Run Up To Date:

    • This is the last date for which depreciation is pending.

    • Example: To record depreciation till June, enter 30th June.

    • All assets whose depreciation is pending up to that date will appear in the grid.

  3. Select Run Date (Ledger Posting Date):

    • This is the date depreciation expense will be posted in the ledgers.

    • Usually the same as the run-up-to date (e.g., 30th June).

  4. Enter a Memo / Description:

    • Example: "June 2025 Asset Depreciation."


4. Post Depreciation

  • Click Add.

  • The system automatically:

    • Calculates depreciation for all selected assets.

    • Posts ledger entries for the depreciation.


5. Verify Depreciation & Ledger Entries

  • Option 1: View Depreciation Run in the Asset module to see recorded entries.

  • Option 2: Use General Ledger → Simple List:

    • Enter the document number (e.g., DPR000050) to see all ledger postings for the depreciation.


Tips

  • Running depreciation monthly is recommended for accurate monthly expense reporting.

  • Depreciation can be backdated to a previous month if it was not run earlier.

  • Always check the ledger postings to confirm entries are correct.



Ledger Impacts:

On the same screen, under reports section, it can be viewed that an AUTOMATED ENTRY is created by SYSTEM.

DR = Depreciation Ledger (Ledgers which are assigned as "Depreciation Ledger" during Asset Creation or in Asset Master).

CR = Accumulated Depreciation Ledger. (This will be one single Ledger for all Assets).
