Introduction
Revaluation of fixed assets is the process of increasing or decreasing their carrying value in case
of major changes in fair market value of the fixed asset. International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRS) require fixed assets to be initially recorded at cost but they allow two models for
subsequent accounting for fixed assets, namely the cost model and the revaluation model.
Cost Model
In cost model the fixed assets are carried at their historical cost less accumulated depreciation and
accumulated impairment losses. There is no upward adjustment to value due to changing
circumstances.
Example:
ABC. purchased a building worth 200,000 on January 1, 2008. It records the building using the
following journal entry.
Equipment
Cash

200,000
200,000

The building has a useful life of 20 years and the company uses straight line depreciation. Yearly
depreciation is hence 200,000/20 or 10,000. Accumulated depreciation as at December 31, 2010 is
10,000*3 or 30,000 and the carrying amount is 200,000 minus 30,000 which equals 170,000.
We see that the building remains at its historical cost and is periodically depreciated with no
other upward adjustment to value.
Revaluation Model
In revaluation model an asset is initially recorded at cost but subsequently its carrying amount is
increased to account for any appreciation in value. The difference between cost model and
revaluation model is that revaluation model allows both downward and upward adjustment in
value of an asset while cost model allows only downward adjustment due to impairment loss.
Example:
Consider the example of ABC Ltd. as quoted in case of cost model. Assume on December 31, 2010
the company intends to switch to revaluation model and carries out a revaluation exercise which
estimates the fair value of the building to be 190,000 as at December 31, 2010. The carrying
amount at the date is 170,000 and revalued amount is 190,000 so an upward adjustment of 20,000
is required to building account. It is recorded through the following journal entry:
Building
20,000
Revaluation Surplus

20,000

Oracle Assets allows you to periodically adjust the value of your Capitalized assets due to
inflation or deflation, according to rates you enter. This process is known as revaluation.

Oracle Assets multiplies the asset cost by the revaluation rate you enter in the Mass Revaluations
window to determine the adjustment to the Asset cost.

2. Revaluation Set ups:


2.1 Set up Revaluation Accounts
You must set up the following revaluation accounts before you can perform a revaluation:
- Revaluation Reserve & Revaluation Amortization Account for each Asset Category.
- Revaluation Reserve Retired Gain and Loss accounts in the Book Controls window.

Set up Revaluation Reserve


and Amortization Account

Set up Revaluation Reserve and Amortization Account at Category level

Set up Revaluation reserve


Retired Gain & Loss Account

Set up Revaluation Reserve Retired Gain & Loss Account at Book control.
2.2 Specify Default Revaluation Rules In Book Control
Allow revaluation and specify default revaluation rules for a book in the Book Controls window.

Revalue Accumulated Depreciation - If you do not revalue accumulated depreciation,


Oracle Assets transfers the accumulated depreciation to the revaluation reserve account
upon revaluation.
Revalue YTD Depreciation - Check this check box to revalue year-to-date depreciation.
Retire Revaluation Reserve - Check this check box to retire revaluation reserve.
Amortize Revaluation Reserve - Check this check box to allow revaluation reserve to be
amortized in this book.
Revalue Fully Reserved Assets - Check this check box to revalue fully reserved assets.
Maximum Revaluations - Enter the maximum number of times an asset in this book can
be revalued as fully reserved. If you leave this field blank, Oracle Assets does not limit
the number of times you can revalue an asset as fully reserved.
Life Extension Factor - Enter the life extension factor for fully reserved assets in this
book. Oracle Assets multiplies the life extension factor by the asset original life to
determine the asset's new, extended life.
Life Extension Ceiling - The life extension ceiling limits the depreciation adjustment
when revaluing fully reserved assets.
Include Current Period Depreciation Is implemented according to Russian legal
requirements and this check box is available only in R12. When revaluation is done with
"Include current period depreciation flag"

checked system calculates and includes current open period depreciation in revaluation
calculations. Any further transaction in same period will rollback revaluation

3. Steps for Performing Revaluation


The Mass Revaluation process includes the following steps:
Create Mass Revaluation Definition
Preview Revaluation
Run Revaluation
Optionally Review Revaluation
To revalue all assets in a category:

Navigate to the Mass Revaluations window.


Enter the Book for which you want to revalue assets.
Enter a Description of the revaluation definition.
Specify revaluation rules. See: Asset Management In a Highly Inflationary Economy
(Revaluation) Asset User Guide Page 3.31.
Enter the category you want to revalue.
Enter the revaluation percentage rate to revalue your assets. Enter either a positive or
negative number.
Override revaluation rules if necessary.
Choose Preview.
Oracle Assets runs the Mass Revaluation Preview Report so you can preview what effect
this revaluation will have when you perform it. If necessary, update the definition and
run the preview report again.

Attention: You must preview the revaluation definition before you perform it.

Find the revaluation definition using the Mass Transaction Number.


Choose Run. Oracle Assets begins a concurrent process to perform the revaluation.
Review the log file after the request completes.

To revalue an individual asset:


Enter the asset number you want to revalue instead of a category. If you revalue a single asset in
a category which is also being revalued, the rate you enter for the asset overrides the category
rate.
To review the effects of a revaluation:

Navigate to the Mass Revaluations window.


Find the revaluation definition you want to review.
Choose Review to run the Mass Revaluation Review Report.
Review the log file and report after the request completes.

To copy an existing revaluation definition:

Navigate to the Mass Revaluations window.


Query the revaluation definition you want to copy.
Choose Special, Copy Definition from the menu.
Specify your rates and override any of the copied information in your new definition.
Save your work.

4. Restriction to Perform Revaluation


Revaluations are not processed for:
In 11i, Revaluation was not allowed on assets added in the current open period. However
that restriction has been lifted in R12 and in R12 you we can revalue assets which are
added in current open period as well.
Fully retired assets
Assets with pending retirements
Group Assets

5. Restriction on Transaction after Revaluation


After revaluation of an asset, we will not be able perform

Amortized adjustment where amortization start date is prior to Revaluation period


Retirement of the asset where retirement date is prior to Revaluation period
Expense / Location transfer with a transfer date prior to Revaluation date

Tips: Since Oracle Assets does not Mass Copy Revaluations when you perform a revaluation in
your corporate Book; also perform it in each tax book associated with that corporate book.

6. Calculation of Revaluation Reserve in Different Scenarios


6.1. Revalue Accumulated Depreciation
You place an asset in service in Aug-14. The asset cost is $1200.00 and the life is 4 months, and
you are using straight-line depreciation. On Oct-14 you revalue the asset using a revaluation rate
of 30%.
Revaluation Rules:
Revalue Accumulated Depreciation = Yes
Revalue YTD Depreciation = No
Amortize Revaluation Reserve = No
Retire Revaluation Reserve = No

The effects of the revaluations are illustrated in the following table:

Cost after revaluation = Existing Cost + [Existing Cost x (Revaluation Rate / 100)]= 1200 +

Monthly Depreciation Expense = Oracle Assets bases the new depreciation expense on the
revalued remaining net book value / Remaining Life i.e = (1560 780) / 2 months = 390
YTD Depreciation = Previous YTD depreciation + Oct-14 (current month) Depreciation i.e 600 +
390= 990
Accumulated Depreciation = Existing Accumulated Depreciation + [Existing
Accumulated Depreciation x (Revaluation Rate / 100)] + Depreciation Expense of Oct-14 period=
600 + 600*30%+390=1170
Revaluation Reserve = Existing Revaluation Reserve + Change in Net Book Value. In this Case
there is no existing Revaluation Reserve. So Difference of NBV = (1560-780) - (1200 - 600) = 780 600 = 180.00. In this Case, the revaluation reserve amount i.e 180 remains with the asset until the
asset is retired.

You place an asset in service in Aug-14. The asset cost is $1200.00 and the life is 4 months, and
you are using straight-line depreciation. On Oct-14 you revalue the asset using a revaluation rate

Depreciation Expense
a) In this case, since we have revalued YTD depreciation also, the effect of YTD revaluation
will be charged as a depreciation Expense i.e 600*30%= 180
b) Monthly depreciation for Oct-14 will be on remaining net book value / Remaining Life i.e
= (1560 780) / 2 months = 390
So total Depreciation Expense that will be Charged for Oct-14 will be (a + b) = 180 + 390 = 570
YTD Depreciation = Previous YTD depreciation + Depreciation expense Charged in Oct14(current month) i.e 600 + 570= 1170

Accumulated Depreciation = Existing Accumulated Depreciation + [Existing Accumulated

Depreciation x (Revaluation Rate / 100)] + Depreciation Expense of Oct-14 period = 600 + 600*30%
+ 390=1170
Revaluation Reserve = Change in Cost i.e 1560 - 1200 = 360.00. In this Case, the revaluation
reserve amount i.e 360 remains with the asset until the asset is retired.

6.3. Revalue only YTD Depreciation


You place an asset in service in Aug-14. The asset cost is $1200.00 and the life is 4 months, and
you are using straight-line depreciation. On Oct-14 you revalue the asset using a revaluation rate
of 30%.

b) Monthly depreciation for Oct-14 will be on Revalued Cost / Remaining Life i.e = 1560 / 2
months = 780
So total Depreciation Expense that will be Charged for Oct-14 will be (a + b) = 180 + 780 = 960
YTD Depreciation = Previous YTD depreciation + Depreciation expense Charged in Oct14(current month) i.e 600 + 960= 1560

Accumulated Depreciation = In this case accumulated depreciation was not revalued. So the existing
balance of Accumulated depreciation will be transferred to Revaluation reserve. The Accumulated
depreciation balance at the end of Oct-14 will be equal to the Depreciation expense charged in oct-14 period
i.e 780.

Revaluation Reserve = Change in Cost + Depreciation expense during Revaluation + Existing


Reserve at the beginning of Oct-14 = (1560-1200) + 180+600 = 1140

Since we are not amortizing the revaluation reserve, this amount remains in the revaluation
reserve account until you retire the asset. When you retire the asset, Oracle Assets transfers it to
the appropriate revaluation reserve retired account.

Since you are amortizing the revaluation reserve, Oracle Assets calculates the revaluation
amortization amount for each period using the asset's depreciation method.
Cost after revaluation = Existing Cost + [Existing Cost x (Revaluation Rate / 100)]= 1200 +

Accumulated Depreciation = Since we did not revalue the accumulated depreciation, Oracle Assets

transfers the balance to the revaluation reserve. Accumulated depreciation balance at the end of
Oct-14 will be equal to the total depreciation expense amount charged in Oct-14 i.e 780.

So Existing accumulated depreciation after revaluation is 1200 + (1200*30%)=1560.
Accumulated depreciation amount at the end of May-14 period is = Accumulated depreciation
proportionate to the life which is already completed + May-14 depreciation Amount i.e 1560 /10

option to yes, the monthly depreciation expense for Oct-14 period will be based on the cost before
revaluation i.e 1200. So Oct-14 depreciation amount will be 1200 / 4 = 300
Since Nov-14 period is the last period of the asset life, the whole cost (after Revaluation) will be
charged as depreciation expense in this period i.e 1560.

YTD Depreciation = In this case, we did not revalue YTD depreciation. So YTD depreciation at

The life extension factor for this asset is 1.5, so the asset's new life is 1.5 * 4 months = 6 months.
Monthly Depreciation Expense = Since we have set the Include Current Period Depreciation
option to yes, the monthly depreciation expense for Dec-14 period will be based on the cost
before revaluation i.e 1200. However since this asset is already fully reserved in Oct-14 period,
there is no life / Netbook value left prior to Revaluation i.e Dec-14. So depreciation amount for
Dec-14 will be 0. However in next period i.e Jan-15 period system will charge the whole revalued
cost as Depreciation expense i.e 1560.
.
YTD Depreciation = In this case, we did not revalue YTD depreciation. So YTD depreciation at
the end of Dec-14 (current month) period will be the Previous YTD depreciation + Depreciation
expense amount charged in Dec-14 i.e 1200 +0=1200
Accumulated Depreciation = Oracle Assets transfers the balance to the revaluation reserve.

Accumulated depreciation balance at the end of Dec-14 will be equal to the total depreciation
expense amount charged in Dec-14 i.e 0. In Jan-15 period the whole revalued cost will be charged
as Depreciation expense i.e 1560. So at the end of Jan-15, the accumulated depreciation will be
1560.

YTD Depreciation = In this case, we did not revalue YTD depreciation. So YTD depreciation at
the end of Aug-13 (current month) period will be the Previous YTD depreciation + Depreciation
expense amount charged in Aug-13 i.e 600 +300=900
Accumulated Depreciation = Accumulated Depreciation before Revaluation + (Existing

Accumulated Depreciation at the beginning of Aug-13 + Depreciation Expense of Aug-13 period)*


30%= (600+300) + (600 +300) * 30%=1170

Revaluation Reserve = Change in Cost - Change in Accumulated depreciation = (1560 1200)(600 +300) * 30%=90

Screen shot of transaction history form for the asset is

In the same period, perform a cost adjustment and increase the cost of the asset by 200.

Now, if we go and check the transaction history of the asset, it will just show addition and cost
adjustment transaction.

It is a intended functionality. As per the current functionality when revaluation is done with
"Include current period depreciation flag" checked system calculates and includes current open
period depreciation in revaluation calculations. Any further transaction in same period will
rollback the revaluation internally.

6.16. Adjustment on a asset which has revaluation in the same period and Revaluation is already
accounted
You place an asset in service in Jan-12. The asset cost is $1200.00 and the life is 4 months, and you
are using straight-line depreciation. On Mar-12, revalue the asset using a revaluation rate of 30%.
Revaluation Rules:

Revalue Accumulated Depreciation = Yes


Revalue YTD Depreciation = No
Include Current Period Depreciation= Yes
Revalue Fully reserved Asset = No

Cost after revaluation = Existing Cost + [Existing Cost x (Revaluation Rate / 100)]= 1200 +
(1200*30%)= 1560
Monthly Depreciation Expense = Since we have set the Include Current Period Depreciation
option to yes, the monthly depreciation expense for Mar-12 period will be based on the cost
before revaluation i.e 1200. So monthly Depreciation for Mar-12 period will be =cost before
revaluation / Life before revaluation = 1200/4 = 300
YTD Depreciation = In this case, we did not revalue YTD depreciation. So YTD depreciation at
the end of Mar-12 (current month) period will be the Previous YTD depreciation + Depreciation
expense amount charged in Mar-12 i.e 600 +300=900
Accumulated Depreciation = Accumulated Depreciation before Revaluation + (Existing

Accumulated Depreciation at the beginning of Mar-12 + Depreciation Expense of Mar-12 period)*


30%= (600 + 300) + (600 +300) * 30%=1170

Now Run create accounting program and process the Revaluation event

In XLA_EVENTS table we can see that revaluation event is already processed

Now we will perform a cost adjustment transaction on the Asset in the same period.

Now if we see the financial inquiry form, we see two revaluation transactions and the cost of the
asset changed from 1760 to 1400 as system has rolled back the revaluation transaction.

In XLA_EVENTS table we see system generated two Rollback events i.e one to rollback the
current period depreciation and other event to rollback the Revaluation.

6.17. Revaluation of an asset which is already impaired


You place an asset in service in Aug-14. The asset cost is $1200.00 and the life is 4 months, and
you are using straight-line depreciation. On Oct-14, perform a impairment transaction and with
an impairment loss of 200. The accounting entry for Impairment transaction is

Monthly Depreciation Expense = Monthly Depreciation amount will be Revalued cost /
Remaining life. Since Nov-14 is the last period of the assets life the whole revalued cost will be
charged in this period i.e 1560/1= 1560
YTD Depreciation = In this case, we did not revalue YTD depreciation. So YTD depreciation at
the end of Nov-14(current month) period will be the Previous YTD depreciation + Depreciation
expense amount charged in Nov-14 i.e 900 +1560=2460

Accumulated Depreciation = In this case we have not revalued the accumulated depreciation. So

the whole accumulated depreciation amount before revalued will be transferred to Revaluation
reserve. So Accumulated depreciation at the end of Nov-14 will be equal to the depreciation
amount charged in Nov-14 period i.e 1560.

*Rate /12 i.e (1560-(40+12))*20%/ 12 periods = 25.13
YTD Depreciation = In this case, we did not revalue YTD depreciation. So YTD depreciation at
the end of Oct-14(current month) period will be the Previous YTD depreciation + Depreciation
expense amount charged in Oct-14 i.e 40 +25.13=65.13
Accumulated Depreciation = Since we have revalued the Accumulated Depreciation, the
accumulated depreciation at the end of Oct-14 period will Accumulated depreciation at the

beginning of Oct-14 + Revalued Accumulated depreciation + Current period Depreciation = 40

7. Migration of Revaluation Reserve


When migrating the assets from a older version to a high version or from a legacy system to
Oracle, if the assets is already revalued in legacy system, along with other details even the
revaluation reserve needs to be migrated to Oracle assets.
Normally data migration is done using
a. Web adi
b. Addition API
c. Inserting the data in FA_mass_additions table
With regards to migrating revaluation reserve, if the data migration is done
a. Using web adi then revaluation reserve needs to be migrated by populating below three
columns.

b.

If the migration is done using Addition API, then the revaluation reserve details needs to
be populated in below arguments under INV_REC_TYPE
REVAL_AMORTIZATION_ BASIS
REVAL_YTD_DEPRN
REVAL_DEPRN_RESERVE

c.

If the data is migrated by directly inserting it in FA_mass_additions table via SQL or a


staging table, then revaluation details needs to be populated under
REVAL_AMROTIZATION_BASIS
REVAL_RESERVE
YTD_REVAL_DEPRN_EXPENSE

When the asset is added via asset work bench also, Revaluation reserve details can be populated
in asset work bench

Even for tax books, the data can be populated using fa_tax_interface tables.
