Hi
Nice documentation thank you for sharing knowledge.
Thank you very much, guys! 🙂
Hi Julie,
Very useful document. Thanks for the efforts.
In this i have a doubt..
When we run impairment loss system has reduced impairment loss from APC Value and it is showing Acquisition value as 900 its okay.
When we reverse the same impairment loss why it is showing Acquisition value as 1100 instead of 1000?

Hi Julie,
Nice Document 🙂
Thank you very much, guys! 🙂
Thanks for the document.
The inherent design problem of Impairment is it would only considered from the next year for calculating the ordinary depreciation. Even after posting the impairment, there would not be any difference in the current year's ordinary depreciation, this is the design of the system, we may have to live with it. But, most of the clients are not happy.
Thank you very much for your valuable information, Sir Ravi.
I noted this point.
many thanks for the document !!!
