Idea:

Customers using a 4‑4‑5 / 4‑5‑4 fiscal calendar need depreciation to be prorated by the actual number of days/weeks in each fiscal period. Today, D365 Finance calculates depreciation as equal per fiscal period, which produces incorrect amounts for 4‑week vs 5‑week periods and inconsistent first‑period results.

Customer scenario (reported):

With a 4‑4‑5 fiscal calendar and straight‑line depreciation (36 periods / 3 years), assets placed in service mid‑period show incorrect first-period depreciation and then flat equal amounts afterward, instead of reflecting the number of days in each fiscal period. Example reported: acquisition cost 250,000, placed in service 02‑Dec‑2025, expected first period to be day‑prorated, but system produces a lower amount and then equal values for following periods.

Request:

Add an option in depreciation profiles/books such as “Prorate depreciation by days in fiscal period” so 4‑4‑5/4‑5‑4 calendars automatically generate correct depreciation per period length (including first period).
