Field Description
Depreciation schedule entry ID

The unique identifier of the depreciation schedule entry.

An entry defines a scheduled posting date and depreciation expense amount for a single period in an asset's life. Entries are posted each period to the General Ledger.
Scheduled posting date

The date when the depreciation schedule entry is expected to post to the General Ledger.
Actual posting date The date the depreciation schedule entry was successfully posted to the General Ledger. If the entry is not posted yet or if the entry was historically posted, then this field is blank. The Actual posting date can differ from the Scheduled posting date if you override posting dates.
State

The status of the depreciation schedule entry:

  • Not posted: The depreciation entry is not yet posted to the General Ledger. The posting could be in progress, have an error, or is not yet started.

  • Posted: The depreciation entry was successfully posted to the General Ledger.

  • Historically posted: The depreciation entry was posted in a different system, outside of Sage Intacct. The Go-live date in Fixed Assets Management configuration determines when assets start to depreciate in Sage Intacct.

  • Canceled: The depreciation entry will not be posted to the General Ledger because the asset was disposed.

Field Description
Cumulative depreciation amount

The total depreciation from all prior periods. This field reflects a running total of accumulated depreciation up to, but not including, the current period. For example, the cumulative depreciation amount for period 3 is the sum of the depreciation amounts in periods 1 and 2.

The cumulative depreciation amount for the first period in a schedule is always zero, because there are no earlier entries.

Cumulative depreciation amounts display regardless of an entry’s posting state.
Period

The sequential number of the entry in the schedule.
Book ID The book where the depreciation schedule entry posts.
Journal entry key

A system-generated unique identifier. Another way of expressing the Journal entry no.
