We are implementing a new organisation this time with DPIS of all the assets is one single day. I need to charge depreciation only for those 5 days for that month & once i get into next period my regular monthly depreciation should work. Please advice an appropriate setup to achive this.

Hi,

You can define one additional category for these assets which will have a single date placed in service. Define a prorate convention of 'daily' and attach it to this asset category. This way you can have 5 day depreciation for all the assets.
In the next month, have a reclassification. Classify all the assets now in the respective categories, with appropriate conventions.

I hope this will work.
