Simulate Postings

Explanation

This activity is used to simulate postings for planned depreciation. The postings are simulated based on the posting rules defined for FAP5 and FAP6 posting types. It is also possible to allow the system to simulate the postings by default instead of carrying out this activity. This can be done by selecting the Simulate Postings check box in the Create Depreciation Plan  dialog box at the time of creating the depreciation plan, or by selecting the Simulate Postings for Planned Depreciation  check box for a book in the Fixed Assets Books window in order to simulate postings by default for all depreciation plans connected to it.
