Depreciation Override allows you to optionally override the depreciation amounts calculated by Oracle Assets. Using this feature, you can manually override the calculated default depreciation amounts for standalone and group assets.
Before running depreciation or performing adjustments, you must provide the necessary information in the Depreciation Override window or the FA_DEPRN_OVERRIDE table, and indicate whether the override data is for depreciation or adjustments. When running depreciation, the system will upload and use the depreciation amounts provided in the interface table.

If you do not use the Depreciation Override window to input the override amounts, you must first populate the  FA_DEPRN_OVERRIDE table with the necessary depreciation data. Next, the feature uploads and overrides the system calculated depreciation amounts with the amounts you provided in the override interface table.

Note:
1. Set the profile option FA: Enable Depreciation Override to Yes.
2. For MRC–enabled books, you do not need to provide the override amounts for the reporting currency books. The system will derive the reporting book values based on the ratio of asset cost in the reporting book to asset cost in the primary book.

To override the system calculated depreciation amounts using the Depreciation Override window:
1. Navigate to the Depreciation Override window.
2. You can use the Find Assets window to find assets for which you want to change depreciation.
3. If you did not use the Find Assets window, or query, to find the assets records you wish to modify, enter the asset number, book, and period of the asset in the rows of Depreciation Override window.
4. In the Depreciation field, you can enter the override depreciation amount.
5. In the Bonus Depreciation field you can enter the override bonus depreciation amount.
6. In the Use By field, you can select the adjustment type of Depreciation or Adjustment. The default value is Depreciation
when creating a new record.
7. The Status field displays the current status of the override record, which may be New, Post, or Posted. If the status is Post or Posted, you cannot update the record, you can only delete the record and reenter the updated record.
8. Select Save from the menu to save your work.
