	<HelpTopic><AimSection><Paragraph>Use this session to calculate <Link href="/baanerp/tf/glossary/glossary#000129" role="glossary">depreciation</Link> for the selected <Link href="/baanerp/tf/glossary/glossary#000148" role="glossary">vintage/group</Link> account assets in their <Link href="/baanerp/tf/glossary/glossary#000115" role="glossary">ADR</Link> or <Link href="/baanerp/tf/glossary/glossary#000139" role="glossary">MACRS</Link> group books.</Paragraph>
		</AimSection>
		<GeneralSection><Paragraph>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 <Link href="/baanerp/tf/fam/tffam0100s000" role="session">FAM Parameter (tffam0100s000)</Link> session, for the assets that the account contains. SSA ERP 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.</Paragraph>
			<Paragraph>When you depreciate vintage or group accounts, you indicate the period and year through which SSA ERP must calculate depreciation. SSA ERP uses the <Link href="/baanerp/tf/glossary/glossary#000103" role="glossary">frequencies</Link> assigned to the vintage or group account to determine which vintage or group accounts are eligible for depreciation in the indicated period. SSA ERP then uses the account's depreciation method to calculate depreciation.</Paragraph>

				<Paragraph>If necessary, you can restate depreciation in the <Link href="/baanerp/tf/fam/tffam7273m000" role="session">Restate Vintage/Group Account (tffam7273m000)</Link> session.</Paragraph>
			</Note>
			<Paragraph>If any of the selected assets contain a life in units in any of the assets' books, you must first run <Link href="/baanerp/tf/fam/tffam1145s000" role="session">Record Asset Units Used (tffam1145s000)</Link> prior to depreciation. When computing depreciation, SSA ERP 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.</Paragraph>
