Please refer to How to move depreciable assets into a property (Second-year entity on Class) if more than one period update has been completed and can't be rolled back.
Issue
In the event that the entity is a first-year entity on Class and any period updates can be rolled back, these instructions document how to consolidate assets into a property to correctly set up a depreciation worksheet.
Some entities have their depreciable assets set up as separate assets to the property when they transition to Class. This occurs when depreciable assets are recorded as separate assets on the General Ledger reports provided when transitioning.
The depreciable assets in the below example (i.e. Air Conditioner & Kitchen Stove) need to be amalgamated into the main property.
The benefit of changing this is for reporting purposes to show the depreciation worksheet correctly and also to automate the CGT calc when it comes to disposing of the property.
