First Migration of assets - CDA and the depreciation reserve

This is the story-

The customer was not sure of their depreciation. So, they provided only their costs of goods. Cost of the asset received to 31 December 2013.

We charge the cost of the asset and the system automatically calculates the depreciation reserve. The depreciation reserve was identical to CDA as at December 31, 2013.

These have been made on the test instance.

Now when we will migrate the production data. The reserve for depreciation calculated on the test instance will also be responsible, it is the cost of the Asset and depreciation reserve will be responsible to 31 December 2013. The first opening period will be 1-2014 (IE 1st half of 2014, given that the customer has an annual amortization schedule half).

My question is when I load the production data as at 31 December 2013 should I include only the amount of the reserve for depreciation or also the amount of the CDA calculated by the system on the test instance.

My current thinking should include capital costs and the reserve for depreciation only. Then, when I run depreciation for the 1st half of 2014 (client half yearly amortization schedule), system automatically calculates the depreciation of the CDA.

Journal entries generated when loading assets

1. cost of goods

Cost of the asset from DR

CR compensation asset

2. accumulated depreciation

DR account t - it flow?

CR amortization reserve

3. then using the depreciation

DR depreciation charges

CR amortization reserve

Thanks for your help

I don't know if I am aware of all the questions to answer here, but I have a few general observations to provide:

For CDA Deprn, if the asset has ANOTHER in the same tax year, the application won't allow any different number to enter, there equal depreciation reserve. DPIS if there is more than one year, you can enter any value you want, there is no validation of this number. If you enter a number of Deprn reserve, I think you might get an error. Otherwise, no CDA number will be calculated, and the assets will get 0 for CDA.

For your #2 journal entry, this is incorrect. If you enter an amount of reserve during the check, the application assumes that it is because it is already present in the GL, no log is created. If there is no amount of reserve, the application calculates it as catching up, and that's what would a journal entry. In this scenario, it is an Expense DR, CR reserve journal entry.

Please let me know if there are any other questions specific to this scenario.
