IJ49119: EPTRANS.DEPAMT WRONGLY CALCULATED WHEN ASSET DEPSCHED.STARTDATE IS NOT THE END OF THE PERIOD

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Problem:
  We found out that the Depreciation Amount (DEPTRANS.DEPAMT) is
  wrongly calculated when the asset start date
  (DEPSCHED.STARTDATE) is not the First or Last day of the month.
  
  Steps to Reproduce:
  
  1. Go to asset
  2. Select any asset
  3. In more actions select Manage Depreciation Schedules
  4. Fill the following data:
  - Starting cost: 1,000,000
  - Salvage amount: 0
  5. In the definition add a new row and fill the following data
  - Method: SL (lineal)
  - Period Type: DATE
  - Periods: 8 (in order for the cron task to complete the full
  depreciation schedule up today)
  - Ratio: 100
  - Check both, Financiala and Create GL Transactions
  6. On the Date Period section fill the following:
  - Units: MONTHS
  - Calculation day: LAST
  - Start Date: Jan 30th 2023 (note that is one day before LAST
  day of the month)
  7. click OK.
  
  Results:
  Wrong value being displayed in depreciation amount as it is
  greater then the start cost of the asset. Depreciation amount is
  showing the total depreciation (the accumulated depreciation)
  instead of the actual amount
  
  Expected Results:
  The actual depreciation amount should be displayed correctly.
