Pause depreciation preparation for an asset

Stop preparing new schedule journals while reviewing the asset.

Updated 2026-11-11

An asset can offer Pause preparation and Resume preparation. Use the pause control when future journal preparation needs to stop while the asset's estimates or evidence are reviewed. Confirm the saved paused state before relying on it.

Pausing preparation is separate from reversing posted depreciation or disposing of the asset. Review existing journal links and pending requests independently. A paused register entry still retains its original cost, schedule and accounting history.

If a book-policy change or correction is the reason for the pause, resolve that specific workflow with an authorized reviewer. Do not treat Resume preparation as confirmation that a stale policy or unsupported source has been fixed.

When resuming, inspect the next period, current method and approved future estimate. Prepare only the eligible source-linked journal and verify its review outcome. Keep the reason for the intervening review with the relevant correction or estimate record so the asset history explains both the pause and the schedule that later continued.
