Answer / kranthioracle

fiscal year - according to dictionary definition any
accounting peroid consisting of 12 months is fiscal year.
where as in assets while defining fiscal year we are just
mentioning the start and end period.

depreciation calender - determines the number of accounting
periods in the fiscal year ex- jan, feb, mar.

prorate calender - This determines over how many periods
to spread the annual depreciation amount (or) else in
simple terms it specifies when an asset should be
depreciated.

Ex: purchased an assest on jan
and specified prorate date as mar, in this case the
system will run depreciation in the month on mar.

Answer / narendar chintam

Prorate Calendar will decide ur company depreciation
policy.

For eg: Your company is purchasing an asset at any date of
a month, but it is going to calculate depreciation from end
date of the month only.

In this case ur prorate will be like this.

From 01-jan-09 to 31-jan-09 -- prorate date is 31-jan-09.

Means if u are purchasing an asset at any date of jan month
ur system starts calculating depreciation from 31-jan-09
Onwards.

Like this u can define ur prorate calendar.
