the G/L accounts that are posted based on: the chart of accounts valid in the
company code, the depreciation area, and the account determination key. You
enter the account determination key in the general master data for the asset
class.

depreciation), depreciation method (percentage from useful life, reducing balance
method etc.), whether depreciation is allowed after the end of useful life etc. The
percentage of depreciation is specified in the "Multi-level Method" settings.

(calculation) period from which a transaction, such as an acquisition or retirement, is
included in the calculation of automatic depreciation.
