Key features:  Selection The Annex 16 report enables you to complete your tax return for half-year or year-end closing. If you choose half-year closing, the report selects data about assets up to the last day of the sixth months from the start of the fiscal year.    If you run the report in test mode, you can restrict your selection to certain asset numbers, sub numbers, and asset classes.   If you run the report in productive mode, the report automatically selects all assets for the company code in question.       If you select PDF as the output mode, you can generate one or more of the Annex 16 forms listed above. For each form, you select the corresponding PDF form name you want to generate.   If you select XML as the output mode, you can generate one of the Annex 16 forms listed above. You must select the Annex 16 form and specify the output path.    Annex 16-1, Annex 16-2 and Annex 16-4 When you generate forms Annex 16-1, Annex 16-2 and Annex 16-4, you can decide how to display the output.  If you display the output in the form of Summary, the report aggregates assets by asset types and depreciation methods.   You can also display the output in the following asset groups:  Retired - assets that are retired during the reporting period   Scrap value - assets that reach their scrap value during the reporting period   No depreciation - assets that already reached the remaining value at the beginning of the reporting period, or assets whose status are idle   Posted reserves - assets that have posted reserves, which are assigned to the Investment Support key for the appropriation of net income method Note Because investment support has not been supported yet, nothing is displayed.   No categorization - all assets    Note For more information about how the report aggregates assets according to the above asset groups, see Annex 16-1, Annex 16-2 and Annex 16-4.     Output    If there are errors in the data that the report selects, an application log shows a list of messages pops up immediately.   If there are no errors, the ALV- or PDF-based output appears first. The subsequent application log, which shows the success message, appears when you exit the output.    You can output the forms as follows:  If you output the forms in ALV mode and there are no errors, the main output list appears. The list shows basic data about the selected assets, as well as details about the depreciation amounts of the assets in question. For example, depreciation postings, depreciation limit, depreciation shortages and excesses, and permitted write-off amount. Note If you choose ALV as the output mode, each column contains F1 Help. In ALV mode, the aggregation is not conducted.   If you output the forms in PDF format and the data does not contain any errors, the report generates the forms in the required legal format. Note The forms in PDF format are only available in Japanese.   If you output the forms in XML format and the data does not contain any errors, the report generates the forms in the required legal format and saves it to the place where you specified in the Output Path field.
