Dear experts,
I want to discuss with you all about something that currently become trending topics in indonesia especially in oil & gas industry.
In SAP, the default is to calculate depreciation starting the time when additional cost is incurred and settled to the asset.
The case is to calculate every additional cost back to its first capitalization year. for example : Asset A is was capitalized in 2013 and then depreciating, in 2015 there is an additional cost settled to Asset A. By default, the add cost will be depreciated starting 2015 (the time when the add cost settled). But what industry wants now is the calculation of add cost in asset A retroactively back to the year Asset was capitalized which was 2013.
We haven't found any solution for this kind of transaction, hope any experts here have some clue for us in Indonesia.
Thank you in advance.
