How to: Calculate Retrospective Depreciation
Microsoft Dynamics NAV includes enhancements for India that allow you to calculate retrospective depreciation.
If updates are made to the Companies Act or the Income Tax Act, then you must create a new entry in the Retrospective Effect of Depr. window, and change the depreciation method accordingly. For example, when you create an entry using the Declining-Balance 1 depreciation method, you must enter a value in the Proposed Declining-Balance 1 % field. For more information, see Declining-Balance 1.
After you enter the value in the Proposed Declining-Balance 1 % field, run the Calc. Retrospective Method batch job to view the changes in the balance sheet. For more information, see Chart of Accounts Window.
