9.5.3 Depreciation of Projects/Investments Before the First Year of Cost Assessment
During the first cost assessment, the question is often posed how to deal with missing values of the previous years. If these can be estimated or assessed easily, it should be done. But, the main goal of the first assessment is to improve the data basis for the next years and not detailed and cumbersome assessment of previous values.
A clear corporate and sector specific definition of what is environmentally relevant equipment can be included in the internal standard. When a company has several sites in more than one country often the range of interpretations of what is environmentally relevant of the people carrying out the EMA assessment are broad
and often contain highly efficient production equipment as well as maintenance expenses, while others report only end-of-pipe treatment equipment. An interpretation of aggregated data on corporate level is thus hampered.
For the existing equipment, every assessment unit should define the significant environmentally relevant assets for each operating area and try to estimate the investment costs. The annual depreciation may be simply calculated with 10% if the actual expenditure if it is not easily available.
For future investments, the environmentally relevant equipment should be flagged by the types of environmentally relevant investment categories in SAP at the point of time when a project code is being defined. Once the flag for the environmental investments is realized in asset accounting, the actual depreciation can be traced by a system run and also the total annual amount of environment related investments is available without any further investigation.
