If the Multiplier field is blank, the first year amount is adjusted by the Initial Term Apportionment Percent ($APIT). Disposal Year amount is adjusted by the apportionment percentage for the disposal year ($APDY).

Asset Cost - Inception to Date Through Current Year (01) Code - $COST Source - F1202

Sum of the prior year balance and all current year posting fields from the Item Balance Cost records for an asset that relate to the same cost (subledger). A cost record is differentiated from other Item Balance records with a "0" in the Balance Character Code (FLCHCD).

Sum of the prior year balance fields from the Item Balance Primary Accumulated Depreciation records for an asset that relate to the same cost (subledger), and the associated amounts in the Item Balance Tag table (F12021) through the computation date. A Primary Accumulated Depreciation record is differentiated from other Item Balance records with a "1" in the Balance Character Code (FLCHCD).

Asset Life in Periods (03) Code - $ALPT Source - F1202 or F12003

Asset Life Periods in Current Year (Rounded to 1/2) (55) Code - $ALRH Source - Calculated

Similar to Formula 06, except that this formula amount is rounded to the closest one-half. (Formula 06 amount is rounded to whole periods.)

Disposal Year Apportionment % (56) This element calculates the Disposal Year Apportionment percentage base on a percentage of days. This calculation will be based on one of the following:

§ (Disposal Date - Start of through Date Fiscal Year)/Number of days in Current Fiscal Year.

§ Disposal Year Apportionment = 1.0 - Element 50 (Apportionment % - Initial Year).

FA Balance: AA LT (DSA1) (57) This element uses the DSA1 AAI to retrieve the Inception to Date Asset Balance Information from the F1202 for the AA ledger type.
FA Balance: Current LT (DSA2) (58) This element uses the DSA2 AAI to retrieve the Inception to Date Asset Balance Information from the F1202 for the current ledger type being depreciated.
FA Balance: AAI line 4 LT (DSA3) (59) This element uses the DSA3 AAI to retrieve the Inception to Date Asset Balance Information from the 1202 for the Ledger Type defined on the description line 4 of the AAI.
GL Balance: AA LT (DSA4) (60) This element uses the DSA4 AAI to retrieve the Inception to Date Asset Balance Information from the F0902 for the AA ledger type.
GL Balance: Current LT (DSA5) (61) This element uses the DSA5 AAI to retrieve the Inception to Date Asset Balance Information from the F0902 for the current ledger type being depreciated.
GL Balance: AAI Line 4 LT (DSA6) (62) This element uses the DSA6 AAI to retrieve the Inception to Date Asset Balance Information from the F0902 for the ledger type defined on the description line 4 of the AAI.
Initial Period Apportionment % (63) This element uses the Period Processing method of computation P only. If the modified start date is not the start of or the end of the period, this element will calculate the apportionment percentage to use. Mid-month or Actual Start Dates are examples of number of days that do not match full period results. For these examples, this element will calculate the apportionment percentage using the number of days elapsed in the period by the number of days in the period.
Actual Remaining Life Periods (64) If the life an asset is 36 periods, the actual total number of periods remaining would be 35 for depreciation purposes when calculating depreciation for the first period. For each period, this number would decrease by one.
AD Year to Prior Period (65) This is an accumulation of depreciation taken from the beginning of the asset's life through the prior period that depreciation is being calculated for.
