We can have more than one Dep.Key for one chart of depreciation.
Cutoff Value Key.
Whatever the % you specified in the cutoff value key, it reduces from 100% and then it calculates DEP on remainin
Ex: 10% maintained in cutoff value key.
now it calculates Dep on 90% of asset.
Multiple Shift.
Normal shift dep% = 10%
Single Shift 10%
Double shift (Normal shift % + 50% Single shift) = 10%+5% 15%
Third shift (Normal shift % + 100% Single shift) = 10%+10% 20%
Shut-Down.
This indicator is used to stop the dep calcualtion .

The purpose of Sub Asset is to track the key parts of the main asset separatly.
if busniss wants to apply different depreciation% for each sub asset wise.
if busniss wants to apply different useful life for each sub asset wise.
To maintain, different Dep.Keys, Different Useful Life of Different Depreciation% for each sub asset wise.
Ex:-
Cmputer is Main Asset.
Parts computer will be the sub assets i.e. CPU is one Sub Asset and Monitor is one Sub Asset.

Process acquisition, retirement and sale of the assets will be the same for Main and Sub Assets too.

Depreciation to the Day method
The purpose is to calculate daywise Depreciation.
If we use the "Dep To the Day", then system ignores the period control method.
We can't activate/deactivate once the Asset is Capitalised.
Activation of "Dep To the Day" is activated in Dep.Key.
It specifies that system calculates the depreciation on day basis i.e. Depreciation is calculated to the exact day.
This condition applies for all the transacions i.e. Acquisitions, Additions, Retirements & Transfers.
Note:- This indicator becomes active for the Asset, as soon as the Asset is capitalized.
Once it takes place, it is not possible to switchoff this function for the Asset even if you are changing the
On the other hand, it is not possible to activate this function for the specific Asset after the Capitalisation
