I'm just migrating TO ODOO.


Someone can help me about how manage the opening balances for accumulated depreciation in order to be sure that depreciation for future periods will be properly calculated?

Hello Rosalia,

You need to perform the below actions to get the correct Assets data:

1- Add your assets with the remaining net value at the date of Go Live, and set the repeated period, accounts...

2- Then, you suppose to have 2 values in your balance sheet, First is the Asset Book Value, which is the initial value of purchasing the asset.

The second is the Accumulated Depreciation for the asset until the Go Live date.

Example:

At the Go Live, you have a Laptop, its Net Value is $1500. And the Laptop was purchased months ago for $2200.

This means you already recorded a depreciation of $700 till now.

So you will do the below:

1- Create a new Asset (Laptop) with a value of $1500, with its remaining life.

2- Add a manual journal entry to record the Original value (Acquisition Cost) and the Accumulated Depreciation.

Dr. Fixed Assets - Laptop                         $2200

Cr. Accumulated Deprecation - Laptop                $1500

Cr. Counter-part account for Go Live                    $700

* This Counter-part account balance should be Zero after adding all Opening Balances.

Thanks Yossef. It helps.

Just to confirm that I understand: then, it is not possible to charge the historical data of FA items. This data will be recorded only in the balance sheet.

Thanks again,
