AM00.1 - Book
**Form Purpose
Use Book (AM00.1) to define a single depreciation book. Books define
parameters for calculating and reporting depreciation. You must define at
least one book during Asset Management setup.
1. (This step) Define a depreciation book.
2. Define a depreciation calendar for the current year (AM01.1).
3. Define an asset type (AM06.1)
4. Define an account group (AM05.1)
5. Define an accounting unit group (AM09.1)
**Processing Effect
A book must have a status of Active to be assigned to an asset.
The convention method you choose in the Conv field determines how
depreciation will be calculated for the first and last month the asset is in
service. See the field help for a description of the predefined conventions.
If you choose Yes in the Method Switch field, the Asset Management system
will switch automatically to a an alternate depreciation method when it is
advantageous. See the field help for more information.
If you select Depreciation History for the book, be aware that Asset
Management will store historical depreciation data for all assets associated
with the book. You should monitor the size of the history files and purge them
periodically.
Depreciation history is recorded from the time the Depreciation History flag
is set. You cannot rebuild depreciation records created before the flag is
set.
If the book is to be used to calculate depreciation for asset classes rather
than individual assets, you must select C (Class Level) in the Type field, and
you must select a compute statement to use in the depreciation calculations in
the Compute Statement field. If you define a book as a class (Part 32)
depreciation book, you should associate it only with assets depreciated as a
class, according to Part 32 regulations. For more information, see the Asset
Management User Guide.
Note Proper implementation is critical to avoid over-depreciation. When
multiple class depreciation books are used, all assets referencing a specific
GL account must be on a class depreciation book, or none of the assets should
be on the book.
