Calculate depreciation and generate Assets History Sheet / system currency?

Question

Hi, I want to know if I can calculate the depreciation and generate Assets History Sheet in system currency which is different of local currency. in fact the amount of depreciation calculated in TND and converted in euro is different of the amount calculate directly in euro.
Example:
01/01/2009 (rate EURO/TND = 1,27 )
Acquisition cost: 1000 euro = 1270 TND
Percentage of depreciation   10%               
If I calculate the depreciation in TND and convert it in euro the amount is equal to 1270*10%/1,7(rate EURO/TND at 31/12/2009)= 74 euro
otherwise if I calculate the depreciation directly in euro the amount is equal to 1000 *10%=100 euro
Thanks.

Hi Mohamed,
If the asset is acquired with foreign currency, it will be booked with both local and foreign currency in accounting, but the asset values and depreciation will be always converted and calculated with local currency.
How ever per your scenario, you can implement the report this way:
1.You can get the planed and posted deprecaiotn value in local currency (TND) by depreciation area, period and asset number in table @BA_ODPV
  - Depr value for 2009 = 1270 * 10% = 127 TND
  - Depr value per month = 127 / 12 = 10.58 TND
2.Convert the depreciation value into sysetm currency (EURO) with the exchange rate on acuqistion day (01/01/2009 (rate EURO/TND = 1,27 )), thus you need to retrieve the exchange rate on 01/01/2009 from table ORTT
  - Depr value for 2009 = 127 TND, you can easily get this with SQL
  - Depr value for 2009 = 127 / 1.27 EURO = 100 EURO  (01/01/2009 (rate EURO/TND = 1,27)
SQL for report (You may set the ratedate and fiscal year as parameter):
--Retrieve the exchange rate from ORTT by date and currency
declare @rate as float     
select @rate = Rate from ortt where RateDate = convert(datetime,'20090101',112) and Currency = 'USD'
--Sum up the depreciation value grouped by asset number and filerd with fiscal year and depreciaiton area
--Report: Asset Numer, Fiscal Year, Planed Depr., Posted Depr.
select U_AsstNum as 'Asset Number',U_FisYear as 'Fiscal Year',sum(U_OrDpPlan)/@rate as 'Planed Depr.', sum(U_OrDpAct)/@rate as 'Posted Depr.' from [@ba_odpv]
where U_FisYear = '2009' and U_DprArID = 100
group by U_AsstNum,U_FisYear
3.Display the report with PLD
Hope it helps. Thanks.
