This chapter covers the following topics:
Oracle Assets is fully integrated with Oracle Subledger Accounting for generating accounting entries, transaction drilldown, and reporting.
The Create Accounting - Assets concurrent program creates journal entries for transaction events in Oracle Assets. The journal entries can be transferred to and posted in General Ledger. If you choose not to transfer the journal entries to General Ledger at this time, you can run the Transfer Journal Entries to GL - Assets concurrent program to do this at a later time.
Submit the process from the Create Accounting menu.
Note: If you are upgrading from Release 11i and you have asset books set up, then the upgrade program automatically sets the value of the FA: Use Workflow Account Generation profile option to Yes, meaning the account generation rules set up in Oracle Workflow will be used.
You should analyze your current customizations in the Oracle Workflow setup. If you need to use the rules in Oracle Workflow for generating code combinations for asset transactions, do one of the following:
Re-implement the custom rules in Oracle Subledger Accounting.
Use the Workflow rules as they are, using the default value upon upgrade.
Note: Account Generation Category
Book Type Code: Choose the corporate book or the tax book from the list of values.
Process Category: Choose the transaction event from the list of values for which you want to run Create Accounting. If this field is left blank, then Create Accounting is run for all transaction events in Oracle Assets.
End Date: The default value for this is the system date. You can change the date. All transactions with an accounting date that is the same or prior to this date will be processed by this program.
Accounting Mode: The default value is Final. You can change the value to Draft. If the accounting is done in Draft mode, the accounting can be re-run later again in Draft mode or in Final mode.
If the mode is Draft, you can neither transfer accounting entries to General Ledger nor post them in General Ledger.
Errors Only: The default value is No. Select Yes to limit the creation of accounting to events for which accounting has previously failed. If you select Yes, the process selects only those events that have a status of Error for processing. Select No to process all events. This field is required.
Report: The default value is summary. You can select Detail or No Report The value determines whether there will be a report output and also whether the output will be in Summary or in Detail.
Transfer to General Ledger: The default value is Yes. You can select No if you do not want to transfer journal entries to General Ledger.
Post in General Ledger: This field in enabled only if the Transfer to General Ledger value is set to Yes. The default value for this field is No. If you set the value to Yes, the journal entries that are transferred to General Ledger will be posted in General Ledger.
General Ledger Batch Name: This field is enabled only if the Transfer to General Ledger value is set to Yes. You can optionally enter a batch name for the transfer. The batch name will be prefixed to the Journal Entry Batch name.
Include User Transaction Identifiers: The default value is No. You can set the value to Yes if you want the transaction identifiers to appear in the report output.
Oracle Assets creates accounting events for every asset transaction that has accounting impact. The Create Accounting process creates subledger accounting entries for these accounting events.
For example, an asset transaction takes place when an asset is acquired. Simultaneously Oracle Assets creates an accounting event for this asset addition. When you run the Create Accounting process, accounting entries are generated and transferred to General Ledger for this event.
Note: You do not need to run depreciation to process accounting for additions.
Similar accounting events called event classes are grouped under event entities. Oracle Assets groups all the accounting events classes into the following four event entities
Transactions: This event entity groups the following event classes: Additions, Adjustment, Capitalization, Category Reclass, CIP Additions, CIP Adjustments, CIP Category Reclass, CIP Retirements, CIP Revaluation, CIP Transfers, CIP Unit Adjustments, Depreciation Adjustments, Retirements, Retirement Adjustments, Revaluation, Terminal Gain and Loss, Transfers, Unit Adjustments, and Unplanned Depreciation.
Depreciation: This event entity groups the following event classes: Depreciation and Rollback Depreciation.
Inter Asset Transactions: This event entity groups the following event classes: Source Line Transfers, CIP Source Line Transfers, and Reserve Transfers.
Deferred Depreciation: This event entity groups the following event classes: Deferred Depreciation.
Some event classes are further divided into event types. For example, the Retirements event class is divided into the Retirements and Reinstatements event types. This is done to provide more granular accounting flexibility.
Event classes are associated with process categories using the Event Class options. Process categories allow you to run Create Accounting for a specific process. For example, if you want to run accounting for the Revaluation transaction then you can specify the Revaluation process category while running Create Accounting program.
Use the Account Analysis report in Oracle Subledger Accounting to reconcile accounting entries.
Run the Create Accounting process to create accounting entries.
Run the Create Accounting process to create accounting entries.
Note: You do not need to run Depreciation before creating accounting transactions. You can run the Create Accounting process as many times as necessary within a period.
The Create Accounting process creates journal entries for the appropriate ledger. You can review these journal entries in the general ledger and post them.
Oracle Assets creates adjusting journal entries to depreciation expense, bonus expense, accumulated depreciation accounts, and bonus reserve accounts when you enter prior period additions, transfers, or retirements:
For a prior period addition, Oracle Assets creates journal entries for the missed depreciation
For a prior period transfer, Oracle Assets reverses a portion of the depreciation expense posted to the "from" depreciation expense account and posts it to the "to" depreciation expense account
For prior period retirements, Oracle Assets creates journal entries that reverse the depreciation taken for periods after the retirement prorate date
Oracle Assets creates separate journal entries for adjustments to depreciation expense and current period depreciation. You can review the effect of your adjustment transaction and your current period depreciation expense separately in the general ledger.
You can create journal entries for any general ledger. If you do not use Oracle General Ledger, you can copy the journal entry information from the GL tables.
Oracle Assets creates journal entries for the following general ledger accounts:
Accumulated Depreciation
Asset Clearing
Asset Cost
Bonus Expense
Bonus Reserve
CIP Clearing
CIP Cost
Cost of Removal Gain, Loss, and Clearing
Deferred Accumulated Depreciation
Deferred Depreciation Expense
Depreciation Adjustment
Depreciation Expense
Intercompany Payables
Intercompany Receivables
Net Book Value Retired Gain and Loss
Proceeds of Sale Gain, Loss, and Clearing
Revaluation Amortization
Revaluation Reserve
Revaluation Reserve Retired Gain and Loss
Debit (Dr.) A debit to the asset cost, asset clearing, bonus expense, CIP cost, CIP clearing, depreciation expense, proceeds of sale clearing, or intercompany receivables account is an addition to the account. A debit to the accumulated depreciation, bonus reserve, cost of removal clearing, or intercompany payables account is a subtraction from the account. In the journal entry examples, debits are in the left column.
Credit (Cr.) A credit to the accumulated depreciation, bonus reserve, cost of removal clearing, or intercompany payables account is an addition to the account. A credit to the asset cost, asset clearing, bonus expense, CIP cost, CIP clearing, depreciation expense, proceeds of sale clearing, or intercompany receivables account is a subtraction from the account. In the journal entry examples, credits are in the right column.
After sending journal entries from Oracle Assets to your general ledger, you can review or modify journal entries in your general ledger before posting them.
If you integrate Oracle Assets with Oracle General Ledger, use the Enter Journals window in Oracle General Ledger to review, change or correct your entries.
If you use a different general ledger, you can review or change entries in that general ledger.
This guide contains examples of asset transactions you can perform and the journal entries that Oracle Assets creates.
The journal entries are for the period that the asset transaction was entered into Oracle Assets. Oracle Assets creates these journal entries when you run the Create Accounting - Assets program.
The asset cost, accumulated depreciation, bonus reserve, and year-to-date depreciation numbers in the following tables are end of quarter balances. The depreciation expense numbers are per period.
Note: In the following examples, if you have set up specific bonus expense and bonus reserve accounts, they behave like depreciation and accumulated depreciation accounts. However, bonus expense and bonus reserve are treated separately in certain cases.

When you run depreciation, Oracle Assets creates journal entries for your accumulated depreciation accounts and your depreciation expense accounts. Oracle Assets creates journal entries for your bonus reserve accounts and your bonus depreciation accounts, if any. Oracle Assets creates separate journal entries for current period depreciation expense and for adjustments to depreciation expense for prior period transactions and changes to financial information.
Oracle Assets creates the following journal entries for a current period depreciation charge of $200 and a bonus charge of $50:
| Account Description | Debit | Credit |
|---|---|---|
| Depreciation Expense | 200.00 | |
| Bonus Expense | 50.00 | |
| Accumulated Depreciation | 200.00 | |
| Bonus Reserve | 50.00 |

This section includes addition and capitalization journal entry examples for the following transactions:
Current and Prior Period Addition
Construction-in-Process (CIP) Addition
For manual additions, Oracle Assets gets the clearing account from the category. For mass additions, the clearing account comes from your source system.
Example: The recoverable cost is $4,000 and the method is straight-line 4 years.
You purchase and place the asset into service in Year 1, Quarter 1.

| Depreciation Expense | 250.00 | |
| Asset Clearing | 4,000.00 | |
| Accumulated Depreciaiton | 250.00 |
You place an asset in service in Year 1, Quarter 1, but you do not enter it into Oracle Assets until Year 2, Quarter 2. Your payables system creates the same journal entries to asset clearing and accounts payable liability as for a current period addition.
Oracle Assets - PRIOR PERIOD ADDITION
| Account Description | Debit | Credit |
|---|---|---|
| Asset Cost | 4,000.00 | |
| Depreciation Expense | 250.00 | |
| Depreciation Expense (Adjustment) | 1,250.00 | |
| Asset Clearing | 4,000.00 | |
| Accumulated Depreciaiton | 1,500.00 |
When you merge two mass additions, Oracle Assets adds the asset cost of the mass addition that you are merging to the asset account of the mass addition you are merging into. Oracle Assets records the merge when you perform the transaction. Oracle Assets does not change the asset clearing account journal entries it creates for each line, so each of the appropriate clearing accounts clears separately.
As an audit trail after the merge, the original cost of the invoice line remains on each line. When you create an asset from the merged line, the asset cost is the total merged cost.
Oracle Assets creates journal entries for the asset cost account for the mass addition into which the others were merged. Oracle Assets creates journal entries for each asset clearing account. For example, you merge mass addition #1 into mass addition #2, so Oracle Assets creates the following journal entries:
| Account Description | Debit | Credit |
|---|---|---|
| Asset Cost (mass addition #2 asset cost account) | 4,000.00 | |
| Depreciation Expense | 1,500.00 | |
| Asset Clearing (mass addition #1 accounts payable clearing account) | 3,000.00 | |
| Asset Clearing (mass addition #2 accounts payable clearing account) | 1,000.00 | |
| Accumulated Depreciaiton | 1,500.00 |
You add a CIP asset. (CIP assets do not depreciate)
Oracle Assets
| Account Description | Debit | Credit |
|---|---|---|
| CIP Cost | 4,000.00 | |
| CIP Clearing | 4,000.00 |
Oracle Assets creates no journal entries for deleted mass additions and does not clear the asset clearing accounts credited by accounts payable. You clear the accounts by either reversing the invoice in your payables system, or creating manual journal entries in your general ledger.
When you capitalize CIP assets, Oracle Assets creates journal entries that transfer the cost from the CIP cost account to the asset cost account. The clearing account has already been cleared.
| Account Description | Debit | Credit |
|---|---|---|
| Asset Cost | 4,000.00 | |
| Depreciation Expense | 250.00 | |
| CIP Cost | 4,000.00 | |
| Accumulated Depreciation | 250.00 |
If you change the asset type from capitalized to CIP, Oracle Assets creates journal entries to debit the CIP cost account and credit the asset clearing account. Oracle Assets does not create capitalization or reverse capitalization journal entries for CIP reverse transactions.
Oracle Assets - CHANGE TYPE FROM CAPITALIZED TO CIP (CURRENT PERIOD)
| Account Description | Debit | Credit |

Refer to the following sections for examples of different types of adjustments:
Depreciation Method Adjustments
Rate Adjustments - Flat-Rate Depreciation Method
Rate Adjustments - Diminishing Value Depreciation Method
In the period you add an asset or for CIP assets, changing financial information does not adjust depreciation, since no depreciation has been taken. If you change financial information after you have run depreciation, you must choose whether to expense or amortize the adjustment:
For expensed adjustments, Oracle Assets recalculates depreciation using the new information and expenses the entire adjustment amount in the current period. Expensing the adjustment results in a one-time adjusting journal entry.
For amortized adjustments, Oracle Assets spreads the adjustment amount over the remaining life or remaining capacity of the asset. For flat-rate methods, Oracle Assets starts depreciating the asset using the new information. You can set up your amortized adjustments to have a retroactive start date by changing the default amortization start date (usually the system date) to a date in a previous period. Any adjustment amount missed since the amortization start date is taken in the current period.
If you amortize an adjustment for an asset, you cannot expense any future adjustments for that asset in that book.
You can allow an amortized adjustment for the book in the Book Controls window.
Method Adjustments: For amortized method changes, Oracle Assets does not recalculate accumulated depreciation, but uses the new information for the remaining time the asset is in service.
For table and calculated methods, Oracle Assets depreciates the cost less the accumulated depreciation over the remaining life of the asset.
For diminishing value methods, Oracle Assets calculates depreciation based on the recoverable net book value of the asset as of the period you make the change.
If, instead, your depreciation method multiplies the flat-rate by the cost, Oracle Assets begins using the new information to calculate depreciation.
Bonus Adjustments:
For assets with a cost-based depreciation basis, the bonus rate is applied to the cost.
For assets with a net book value depreciation method basis, the bonus rate is applied to the cost less total reserve (accumulated depreciation and bonus reserve).

A cost adjustment includes any adjustment that affects the recoverable cost, including a change in cost, salvage value, depreciation, and cost, depreciation expense, ITC ceilings, or bonus rules. You can manually perform a cost adjustment in the Books window or in the Source Lines window. You can automatically perform a cost adjustment by adding a mass addition to an existing asset using Mass Additions.
You can choose to expense or amortize the adjustment. See: Amortized and Expensed Adjustments
This section illustrates the following types of cost adjustments:

Changing Invoice Information for an Asset
If you add a mass addition to an asset, Oracle Assets creates a journal entry to the asset cost account of the existing asset. Oracle Assets also credits the clearing account you assigned to the invoice distribution line in accounts payable to net it to zero.
If you want the existing asset to assume the asset category and description of the mass addition, Oracle Assets creates a journal entry for the new total asset cost to the asset cost account of the mass addition's category. It also creates journal entries for the clearing account you assigned to the invoice line in accounts payable, and for the clearing or cost account of the original addition category.
Oracle Assets creates the following journal entries for a capitalized $2,000 mass addition added to a new, manually added $500 asset, where the asset uses the category of the mass addition:

A unit adjustment is similar to a transfer, since you must update assignment information when you change the number of units for an asset. For example, you place the same $4,000 asset in service with two units assigned to cost center 100. In Year 2, Quarter 3, you realize the asset actually has four units, two of which belong to cost center 200.

Note: If all units remain in the original cost center, Oracle Assets creates journal entries with zero amounts.
Example: You reclassify an asset from office equipment to computers in Year 1, Quarter 3. The asset cost is $4,000, the life is 4 years, and you are using straight-line depreciation.
When you reclassify an asset in a period after the period you entered it, Oracle Assets creates journal entries to transfer the cost and accumulated depreciation to the asset and accumulated depreciation accounts of the new asset category. This occurs when you create journal entries for your general ledger. Oracle Assets also changes the depreciation expense account to the default depreciation expense account for the new category, but does not adjust for prior period expense.

Reclassifying an Asset to Another Category
When you retire an asset and create journal entries for that period, Oracle Assets creates journal entries for your general ledger for each component of the gain/loss amount. Oracle Assets creates journal entries for either the gain or the loss accounts for the following components: proceeds of sale, cost of removal, net book value retired, and revaluation reserve retired. Oracle Assets also creates journal entries to clear the proceeds of sale and cost of removal.
Oracle Assets creates journal entries for the retirement accounts you set up in the Book Controls window. If you enter distinct gain and loss accounts for each component of the gain/loss amount, Oracle Assets creates multiple journal entries for these accounts. You can enter different sets of retirement accounts for retirements that result in a gain and retirements that result in a loss.
The retirement convention, date retired, and depreciation method control how much depreciation Oracle Assets takes when you retire an asset.
Oracle Assets reverses the year-to-date depreciation if the asset's depreciation method does not depreciate it in the year of retirement. In this case, when you perform a full retirement, Oracle Assets reverses the year-to-date depreciation of the asset, and computes the gain or loss using the resulting net book value. For partial retirements, Oracle Assets reverses the appropriate fraction of the year-to-date depreciation and computes the gain or loss using the appropriate fraction of the resulting net book value.
If the depreciation method takes depreciation in the year of retirement, Oracle Assets uses your retirement convention to determine whether the asset is eligible for additional depreciation in that year or whether some of that year's depreciation must be reversed.
When you perform a partial retirement, Oracle Assets depreciates the portion of the asset you did not retire based on the method you use. If your depreciation method multiplies a flat-rate by the cost, Oracle Assets depreciates the asset's cost remaining after a partial retirement. For assets that use a diminishing value method, Oracle Assets depreciates the remaining fraction of the asset's net book value as of the beginning of the fiscal year.
The retirement convention, date retired, and period in which you reinstate an asset control how much depreciation Oracle Assets calculates when you reinstate an asset.
When you reinstate a retired asset, Oracle Assets usually calculates some additional depreciation expense in the period in which you perform the reinstatement, unless you perform it in the same period that you retired the asset. This additional depreciation is the depreciation that would have been taken if you had not retired the asset.
Sometimes, however, a reinstatement results in a reversal of depreciation. This occurs if the retirement convention caused some additional depreciation when you retired the asset, and then you reinstate the asset before the retirement prorate date. Then Oracle Assets reverses the extra depreciation that it took at retirement, and waits until the appropriate accounting periods to take it.
Example: You place an asset in service in Year 1, Quarter 1. The asset cost is $4,000, the life is 4 years, and you are using straight-line depreciation. In Year 3, Quarter 3, you sell the asset for $2,000. The cost to remove the asset is $500. The asset uses a retirement convention and depreciation method which take depreciation in the period of retirement. You retire revaluation reserve in this book.

In Year 3, Quarter 3, you discover that the asset was sold in Year 3, Quarter 1, for $2,000. The removal cost was $500. The asset uses a retirement convention and depreciation method which allow you to take depreciation in the period of retirement.

Oracle Assets reverses the journal entries for proceeds of sale, cost of removal, net book value retired, and revaluation reserve retired. Oracle Assets also reverses the journal entries you made to clear the proceeds of sale and cost of removal.
Oracle Assets also creates journal entries to recover the depreciation not charged to the asset and for the current period depreciation expense.

If you add an asset with an accumulated depreciation equal to the recoverable cost, it is fully reserved upon addition. When you retire it, Oracle Assets does not back out any depreciation, even if you assigned the asset a depreciation method that backs out all depreciation in the year of retirement. However, it creates all the other journal entries associated with retiring a capitalized asset.
A non-depreciated capitalized asset or a CIP asset has no accumulated depreciation. Therefore, Oracle Assets does not create journal entries to catch up depreciation to the retirement prorate date, and does not remove the accumulated depreciation. However, Oracle Assets creates all other journal entries associated with retiring a capitalized asset.
PENDING Asset Retirement
When you reinstate an asset retired in the current accounting period that the calculate gains and losses program has not yet processed, the retirement transaction is deleted, and the asset is immediately reinstated. No journal entries are created.
PROCESSED Asset Retirement
When you reinstate an asset retired in a previous accounting period or already processed in the current period, the existing retirement transaction gets a new Status REINSTATE, and the asset is reinstated when you process retirements. Oracle Assets creates journal entries to catch up any missed depreciation expense.

The following examples illustrate the effect on your assets and your accounts when you specify different revaluation rules.
Example 1: You place an asset in service in Year 1, Quarter 1. The asset cost is $10,000, the life is 5 years, and you are using straight-line depreciation.
In Year 2, Quarter 1 you revalue the asset using a revaluation rate of 5%. Then in Year 4, Quarter 1 you revalue the asset again using a revaluation rate of -10%.
Revaluation Rules:
Revalue Accumulated Depreciation = Yes
Amortize Revaluation Reserve = No
Retire Revaluation Reserve = No
Oracle Assets bases the new depreciation expense on the revalued remaining net book value.
In Year 5, Quarter 4, at the end of the asset's life, you retire the asset with no proceeds of sale or cost of removal.
The effects of the revaluations are illustrated in the following table:

Example 2: You place an asset in service in Year 1, Quarter 1. The asset cost is $10,000, the life is 5 years, and you are using straight-line depreciation.
In Year 2, Quarter 1 you revalue the asset using a revaluation rate of 5%. Then in Year 4, Quarter 1 you revalue the asset again using a revaluation rate of -10%.
Revaluation Rules:
Revalue Accumulated Depreciation = No
Amortize Revaluation Reserve = No
Retire Revaluation Reserve = Yes
For the first revaluation, the asset's new revalued cost is $10,500. Since you do not revalue the accumulated depreciation, Oracle Assets transfers the balance to the revaluation reserve in addition to the change in cost.
Since you are also not amortizing the revaluation reserve, this amount remains in the revaluation reserve account until you retire the asset, when Oracle Assets transfers it to the appropriate revaluation reserve retired account. Oracle Assets bases the new depreciation expense on the revalued net book value.
For the second revaluation, the asset's revalued cost is $9,450. Again, since you do not revalue the accumulated depreciation, Oracle Assets transfers the balance to the revaluation reserve along with the change in cost.
You retire the asset in Year 5, Quarter 4, with no proceeds of sale or cost of removal.
The effects of the revaluations are illustrated in the following table:

Example 3: You place an asset in service in Year 1, Quarter 1. The asset cost is $10,000, the life is 5 years, and you are using straight-line depreciation.
In Year 2, Quarter 1 you revalue the asset using a rate of 5%. Then in Year 4, Quarter 1 you revalue the asset again using a rate of -10%.
Revaluation Rules:
Revalue Accumulated Depreciation = No
Amortize Revaluation Reserve = Yes
For the first revaluation, the asset's new revalued cost is $10,500. Since you do not revalue the accumulated depreciation, Oracle Assets transfers the entire amount to the revaluation reserve. Since you are amortizing the revaluation reserve, Oracle Assets calculates the revaluation amortization amount for each period using the asset's depreciation method. Oracle Assets also bases the new depreciation expense on the revalued net book value.
For the second revaluation, the asset's revalued cost is $9,450. Again, since you do not revalue the accumulated depreciation, Oracle Assets transfers the entire amount to the revaluation reserve.

Example 4: You place an asset in service in Year 1, Quarter 1. The asset cost is $10,000, the life is 5 years, and you are using straight-line depreciation. The asset's life extension factor is 2 and the maximum fully reserved revaluations allowed for this book is 3.
In year 5, quarter 4 the asset is fully reserved. In Year 9, Quarter 1 you want to revalue the asset with a revaluation rate of 5%.
Revaluation Rules:
Revalue Accumulated Depreciation = Yes
Amortize Revaluation Reserve = No
First, Oracle Assets checks whether this fully reserved asset has been previously revalued as fully reserved, and that the maximum number of times is not exceeded by this revaluation. Since this asset has not been previously revalued as fully reserved, this revaluation is allowed.
The asset's new revalued cost is $10,500. The life extension factor for this asset is 2, so the asset's new life is 2 * 5 years = 10 years. Oracle Assets calculates depreciation expense over its new life of 10 years. Oracle Assets calculates the depreciation adjustment of $2,000 using the new 10 year asset life. It transfers the change in net book value to the revaluation reserve account.
Oracle Assets revalues the accumulated depreciation using the 5% revaluation rate. The change in net book value is transferred to the revaluation reserve account. Since you do not amortize the revaluation reserve, the amount remains in the revaluation reserve account.
The effect of the revaluation is illustrated in the following table:

Example 5: You place an asset in service in Year 1, Quarter 1. The asset cost is $10,000, the life is 5 years, and you are using straight-line depreciation. The asset's life extension factor is 3.0 and its life extension ceiling is 2.
In Year 5, Quarter 4 the asset is fully reserved. In year 9, quarter 1 you want to revalue the asset with a revaluation rate of 5%.
Revaluation Rules:
Revalue Accumulated Depreciation = Yes
Amortize Revaluation Reserve = No
To determine the depreciation adjustment, Oracle Assets uses the smaller of the life extension factor and the life extension ceiling. Since the life extension ceiling is smaller than the life extension factor, Oracle Assets uses the ceiling to calculate the depreciation adjustment. The new life used to calculate the depreciation adjustment is 2 * 5 years = 10 years, the life extension ceiling of 2 multiplied by the original 5 year life of the asset.
Oracle Assets calculates the asset's depreciation expense under the new life of 10 years up to the revaluation period, and moves the difference between this value and the existing accumulated depreciation from accumulated depreciation to revaluation reserve.
Oracle Assets then determines the new asset cost using the revaluation rate of 5% and revalues the accumulated depreciation with the same rate. Oracle Assets calculates the asset's new life by multiplying the current life by the life extension factor. The asset's new life is 3 * 5 years = 15 years. Oracle Assets bases the new depreciation expense on the revalued net book value and the new 15 year life.
The effect of the revaluation is illustrated in the following table:
| Period (Yr, Qtr.) | Asset Cost | Deprn. Expense | Accum. Deprn. | Reval. Reserve |

Example 6: You own an asset which has been damaged during its life. You placed the asset in service in Year 1, quarter 1. The asset cost is $10,000, the life is 5 years, and you are using straight-line depreciation. You entered a revaluation ceiling of $10,300 for the asset.
In year 3, quarter 3 you revalue the asset's category with a revaluation rate of 5%.
Revaluation Rules:
Revalue Accumulated Depreciation = No
Amortize Revaluation Reserve = Yes
If Oracle Assets applied the new revaluation rate of 5%, the asset's new cost would be higher than the revaluation ceiling for this asset, so instead Oracle Assets uses the ceiling as the new cost. The ceiling creates the same effect as revaluing the asset at a rate of 3%. Oracle Assets bases the asset's new depreciation expense on the revalued asset cost.
The effect of the revaluation is illustrated in the following table:
