| # Depreciate Vintage/Group Account (tffam7272m000) Use this session to calculate depreciation for the selected vintage/group account assets in their ADR or MACRS group books. You depreciate a vintage or group account to record the cost of the assets in the account against their revenues for specific periods. When you depreciate a vintage or group account, you depreciate the ADR book, established in the FAM Parameters (tffam0100s000) session, for the assets that the account contains. LN calculates the depreciation for each asset in its ADR book, then adds the assets' depreciation to the accumulated and year-to-date totals maintained for the account. When you depreciate vintage or group accounts, you indicate the period and year through which LN must calculate depreciation. LN uses the frequencies assigned to the vintage or group account to determine which vintage or group accounts are eligible for depreciation in the indicated period. LN then uses the account's depreciation method to calculate depreciation. Note If necessary, you can restate depreciation in the Restate Vintage/Group Account (tffam7273m000) session. If any of the selected assets contain a life in units in any of the assets' books, you must first run Record Asset Units Used (tffam1145s000) prior to depreciation. When computing depreciation, LN calculates and compares the new value to the existing value. The difference is recorded as the depreciation transaction for that period. You cannot depreciate beyond the end of the current fiscal year.
