Reinstating Reinstatements are reversals of retirements, which correct retirement errors by undoing the retirement of an asset and reinstating it. Reinstatement is done - when accountants determine that they have retired a wrong asset. - when the entered number of units or cost for a retired asset is wrong. You cannot reinstate assets retired in the previous fiscal year , so you can only retire assets within the current fiscal year. You can reinstate only the most recent or processed retirement. 26

Revaluation. To adjust the value of assets due to inflation or deflation, Assets allows you to periodically do the adjustment according to the rates or amounts entered. This process of adjusting the value of asset to reflect the market value is known as revaluation. The rules for revaluation often differ from country to country. 28
Revaluation. When you revalue an asset, the Calculate Depreciation process calculates accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss on the date of the revaluation, according to the revaluation method you select. You can revalue assets using either the Cost or the Net Book Value (NBV) method. Cost revaluation method : The system calculates the accumulated depreciation as the difference between the gross and the net carrying amounts of an asset. In the NBV revaluation method, the system eliminates the accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss against the gross carrying amount of the asset. 29
