Shift the first year one year earlier

If a fixed asset was acquired before your company started using Visma Net and you need the depreciation to be posted before the system start date, you can shift the first book calendar one year earlier.

You can shift the first year by using the Book calendars (FA206000) window, and then generate periods for the book calendar in the Generate fixed asset calendars (FA501000) window.

  1. Go to the Book calendars (FA206000) window.

  2. In the Book field, select the book whose book calendar you want to shift.

  3. On the toolbar, click Shift the first year.

    This brings up a message that warns you about the consequences of such an action.

    Caution

    Shifting the first year to an earlier date can affect statistics and data on reports.

  4. Click Yes to shift the first year and close the message field.

  5. Click icon-save

  6. Go to the Generate fixed asset calendars (FA501000) window.

  7. In the table, select the book calendar for which you shifted the first year.

  8. In the Generate through year field, type the year after the last year through which the book calendar has been generated.

  9. In the toolbar, click Process.
