Depreciation Comparison by Book Chart

The Depreciation Comparison by Book chart compares the total acquisition value and total accumulated depreciation for all active assets (Activity Code = A) through the current reporting period for each open book. By selecting a different depreciation book, the chart and chart data will not change.

You can view the chart by selecting it in the Assets Snapshot window.

The Depreciation Comparison by Book chart displays double bars for:

• Total acquisition value of all active assets (Activity Code = A) for each open book
• Total accumulated depreciation of all active assets (Activity Code = A) for each open book

The books are in the same order as displayed in Asset Detail view, with the first opened book on the far left-hand side of the chart. If the book is closed or has no acquisition values, it will not appear in the chart.

Note: In order to get an accurate representation of the accumulated depreciation for each book, make sure all active assets are depreciated through the most recent date of activity in your general ledger.

A table beneath the chart shows the following information for each open book.

Items in this table

Item	Notes
Acq Value	Displays the total acquisition value of all active assets for each open book.
Accum Depr	Displays the total accumulated depreciation of all active assets for each open book.
Net Value	Display the total net book value of all active assets for each open book.

The information displayed on this chart and chart data should match the Net Grand Totals for Acquisition Value and Current Accum Depreciation on the Depreciation Expense report. The report should be run for a group with the criterion “Activity is currently A” and for each open book. The Net Value displayed on the chart data will match the Net Book Value Grand Total on the Net Book Value report when run for each open book and the group with the criterion “Activity is currently A.”
