		<Paragraph>All depreciation formulas vary based on the calculation mode you set for each type of book in SSA ERP. If the calculation mode is periodic, SSA ERP considers each period to have the same number of days. If the calculation mode is daily, SSA ERP uses the exact number of days in each period.</Paragraph>
		<Note><SectionTitle>Note</SectionTitle>
			<Paragraph>SSA ERP calculates depreciation for each period in your company's calendar, regardless of the calculation mode. For example, if the calendar has twelve periods, SSA ERP calculates depreciation twelve times a year, regardless of whether the calculation mode is daily or periodic.</Paragraph>
		</Note>
		<Paragraph>SSA ERP uses the frequency assigned to each of an asset's related books to determine how often to record the resulting transactions. For example, if the frequency is quarterly, SSA ERP groups the calculated amounts into quarterly amounts and records the results once a quarter.
