How can I add value to asset without extending life?  Help!

My team and I are working on a new straight-line depreciation key.  During testing we've found that if we add value to an asset in the year after acquisition, there is a depreciation adjustment in the month after the asset becomes fully depreciated.  We can't have this happen becuase it has already been identified as a Sarbanes-Oxley remediation item.  How do we eliminate this adjustment after the asset becomes fully depreciated?

Thank you so much for your response Bernhard!  Forgive me if I sound obtuse, I am an accountant and not a techincal expert.  What you described sounds like the method we are moving away from.  The method calculates based on remaining value over remaining life, but we've seen huge adjustments made at the end of the placed-in-service year, followed by a sharp decrease in depreciation amounts in subsequent years.  This is not acceptable because our corporate policy requires straight-line depreciation.
If I am not interpreting your response correctly, please let me know.
I'm wondering if "smoothing" would eliminate the adjustment in the period after the asset fully depreciates. Your thoughts on this are welcome!
Regards,
Laurie

    How can I add values on a Drop Down by Index Webdynpro Element?
    How can I invoque my element on the Implementation Webdynpro?

    Hi Jesus,
    You can add elements to your DDbyIndex like this:
    //Example: Popular un Dropdown by Index usando Nodos de contexto  
    // NODE[Card: 1..n, Sele:1..1]  Si es obligatorio;            ||    NODE[Card: 0..n, Sele:0..1]  Si no es obligatorio y se puede dejar en blanco
    //Assuming we created a node called "Source", with a string attribute called "Texto" binded to the dropdownbyindex
    for (int i = 1; i <= 101; i++)
         ISourceElement sourceElement = wdContext.createSourceElement();
           sourceElement.setTexto("Text number "+i);
           wdContext.nodeSource().addElement(sourceElement);

    How can I add values on a Drop Down by Index Webdynpro Element with a Model RFC?

    Hi Jesus,
    Please use the below code for DropDownByIndex Elements :-
    Suppose you have model node ABC and attribute xyz. Now you have created custom node CustNode and attribute CustAtt.
    ICustNodeElement  ele = null;
    if(wdContext.nodeABC().size > 0)
                  for(int i=0; i< CustNode< wdContext.nodeABC().size; i++
         ele = wdContext. createCustNode();
                          ele.setCustAtt(wdContext.nodeABC().getABCElementAt(i).getXYZ)
         wdContext.nodeCustNode.add(ele);

  • How can i add a Rescue Emile without calling apple support ?

    hello , i want to add a rescue emile to my apple id and i can't , i cant either call them because i'm in SA and they don't have a number to call here so please help me .

    You can't add a rescue email address without being able to answer 2 of your security questions, you will need to contact Apple to get them reset.
    As South Africa isn't on this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699 , then you can try contacting them via this link, saying that you don't have a rescue email address and that you are in South Africa (which isn't on the HT5699 page) and see what they reply with : https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
    When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312

  • How can I add a library asset to a specific master spread?

    Hello! I am new to the forums and rather new to javascript as it relates to indesign so I apologize if this is rudimentary.
    I am building a script that automates new document creation for our company and have run into a problem with placing library assets.
    I want to add a library asset to a specific master page by name, but I cannot find a way to do this.
    I can get assets to place into my document with this:
                var t = app.libraries.item(0);
                var libTapeStrip= t.assets.itemByName('Tape Strip');
                var myTapeStrip = libTapeStrip.placeAsset(myDocument);
    However, the asset is being placed on a master spread that I had previously added to the document. It seems to be the active or front most spread because when the script is complete and I create a new window that spread is what is displayed with the asset on it.
    I would like to place the asset on another master spread, but placeAsset() only accepts documents and text boxes. I have also looked on a way to bring the master spread I want to the front, but cannot find this either.
    If anyone can lead me in the right direction I would appreciate it!!
    Thanks,
    Ben

    @Benjamin – You could make the spread (or the page) where you want to place that asset the "activeSpread" or "activePage", place the asset and then go back to the old active one.
    Something like this:
    (Here I assume that you want to place your asset on a master spread named "A-Master" and the asset is the first in the one and only library file that is open.)
    var myDocument = app.documents[0];
    var myMaster = app.documents[0].masterSpreads.itemByName("A-Master");
    var myLibrary = app.libraries[0];
    var myAsset = myLibrary.assets[0];
    var myOLDActiveSpread = myDocument.windows[0].activeSpread;
    myDocument.windows[0].activeSpread = myMaster;
    myAsset.placeAsset(myDocument);
    myDocument.windows[0].activeSpread = myOLDActiveSpread;

  • My iTunes library is on an old computer. Not enough memory to consolidate the associated MP3 files. Transferred library to new computer. How can I add the MP3's without having to re load every file / folder again? Thanks.

    Hello, I'm trying to transfer my iTunes library from an old computer with small hard drive to a new windows 8 laptop.  Much of my library consists of links to MP3/ 4 files etc but there isn't enough harddrive memory to consolidate the files into iTunes music folder.  I downloaded the library onto an external hardrive and have installed it on the new computer.  All files that were in iTunes music (now iTunes Media file) work fine.  I have transferred over all my MP3 files but of course iTunes library wont play the file as there is no established link to the file and it asks whether iTunes should locate the file. I don't want to have to import every MP3 file/ folder all over again and then delete the unlinked entries in iTunes as this will take way too much time.  Is there a way to sync all of these MP3 files to iTunes automatically or do I need to go back to start and somehow try and put the library back onto the hard drive and get the files consolidated to that from my old computer?  Any help most gratefully recieved. Thanks.

    The files that weren't inside the media folder on the original machine need to be copied over to exactly the same paths as they had on the source machine. See this thread for an ongoing discussion of a similar problem. See also this post on migrating the iTunes library.

    Also, for information on getting an iPod started, read this -> Fast Start: Guide to iPod basics
    When the above poster referred to "manual syncing", that means to drag-and-drop songs to your iPod (in iTunes); as opposed to wither of the two "automatic" options.

    I'm afraid you've posted in the wrong place. This is a technical forum around a particular product called 'SharePoint'. This does talk to Exchange and Outlook in places but we don't specialised in either of those. You should have a look for one of the

  • How can i add videos,movies and tv shows episodes to my ipod nano?I want to know whether i can directly add them through my pc or not without downloading them from i tunes store?

    how can i add videos,movies and tv shows episodes to my ipod nano?I want to know whether i can directly add them through my pc or not without downloading them from i tunes store?

    Yes, you can add your own videos to iTunes, then sync them to your nano, subject to supported max resolution limit and file type.  The specs for the 7th gen nano says (I don't know which nano model you have), Video Format Support
    "H.264 video: 720 by 576 pixels, 30 frames per second; Baseline, Main, and High-Profile level 3.0 with AAC-LC audio up to 256 Kbps; 48kHz; stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
    MPEG-4 video: up to 2.5 Mbps, 720 by 576 pixels, 30 frames per second; Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 256 Kbps; 48kHz; stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats"
    http://www.apple.com/ipod-nano/specs.html
    (earlier nanos have lower max resolution limits)
    So, "HD" video is too high resolution, so iTunes will not sync such videos to the iPod (although they play in iTunes).  If you are asking how to set up iTunes to sync videos in general (regardless of source), please post back.

  • How can i add songs to a family members ipod without erasing existing songs

    How can i add songs to a family members ipod without erasing her existing song list.

    For future reference, since I came here for the same reason, I'd like to add to the solution.  The link was not complete in explaining how to, but then again I'll just trying to attempt to fill in the gap.
    After opening iTunes, on the upper left hand side is a small icon with an arrow pointing down. Click on the arrow and a menu pops out.  Click on "Show Menu Bar."  On the new bar(Older iTunes File, Edit, View, Controls, etc. bar at the top).  Click on View and then Show Side Bar.  There you can just click and drag new songs into your iDevice without any problems... hopefully...
    Seriously, this helped me, so if Apple finds a way to not allow me to do this simple task of adding purchased songs into my idevices from another computer, I'll have to resort to other means.
    The one idevice that's having trouble with is my iShuffle(2nd).

  • How can i add two values under the same property?

    Hi all,
    How can i add two values under the same property name in a
    prop list? For example:
    [question1: "item1","item2", question2: "item3","item4"]
    To be more precise, i am creating a property list and I want
    whenever a two values have the same property name to be added int
    he list under the same property. For example:
    gMyList.AddProp (#""&question&"" & x,
    member("input").text)
    question is a variable that is updated fromt he user's input.
    Now, whenever somethign like this happens:
    question = "question1"
    member("input").text = "five"
    question = "question1"
    member("input").text = "six"
    I want to output list to be:
    [question1: "five","six"] and so on
    Any ideas?

    Maybe you could make each property a list (so you have a
    property list full
    of lists), and add multiple values to the list held in a
    particular
    property?
    Cheers
