Calculating Remaining Value

PeopleSoft Asset Management calculates remaining value and remaining life using five asset attributes:

  • Begin Depr Date

  • Transaction Date

  • Life

  • Cost

  • Accumulated Depreciation

Calculations differ depending on which calculation type is used and the relationship between the beginning depreciation date and the transaction date. The following examples show how the calculation is performed for each method.
