The reform provided an extended depreciation benefit to assets acquired before April 1, 2007 which have already reached the earlier depreciation limit of 95%. Under this benefit, these assets could now be depreciated further to 1 Yen using the Straight Line method over a 60 month period. Through the Find Eligible Assets window, you can search for the eligible assets and then use the Set Extended Depreciation window to record the decision whether or not a particular asset should be avail for extended depreciation. Once the decision is recorded on the asset and then you click on the Submit button of Set Extended Depreciation window, a concurrent process is launched to update the depreciation method to JP-STL-EXTND and depreciation limit is set to 1 Yen.
The new straight line depreciation method (JP-STL-EXTND) has been seeded in Oracle Assets in support of the extended depreciation benefit. This new method is used for all assets for which the extended depreciation decision has been set to Yes.
