In Simple Fund 360 you have the ability to:
- Prepare a Depreciation Schedule and automatically post depreciation journals
- Record manual depreciation journals through the Transaction List. This is recommended when you are manually calculating and entering in the depreciation expense.
Simple Fund 360 will automatically create a linked depreciation account (33400) when an investment is created. Refer to Linked Accounts for more information on linked accounts.
Note: In addition to this, depreciation is automatically reduced against the cost base when recorded. This will present the correct Written Down Value of the investment when completing an Investment Disposal.
