I - Cost of Sales: General principles 

6. Depreciation services and miscellaneous (R27200)

  • Depreciation of facilities for storing and loading for shipment 
  • Depreciation costs related to the transport equipment of saleable products (for example: IFRS16 for Railcars)
  • Isotank depreciation
  • Low volume adjustments:  In the case of temporary production shutdowns / underactivity: If production is lower than a given percentage fixed by the GBU, the related depreciation can't / shouldn't flow to inventory and to cost of sales but are reported in R27200 - Depreciation services and miscellaneous, since that situation can not be considered as "normal condition of operations". This concept applies only to PF1 system companies.
