Shutdown
If an asset is shut down for a given period of time, you can suspend the depreciation as follows:
Define the appropriate time interval in the time-dependent data for the asset.
Set the shutdown indicator in the asset master record for this interval.
Use a depreciation key that allows shutdown, in the depreciation areas concerned.
The system does not calculate depreciation during the time period of the shutdown. The useful life of the asset increases by this length of time. When you remove the shutdown indicator, the system automatically resumes the calculation of depreciation.
