	<GeneralSection><Paragraph>Mass adjustments permit you to perform adjustments on a large number of assets at one time. You can mass adjust assets at any point after they have been capitalized and before they have been disposed. You can record a mass adjustment for values associated with assets or with specific books related to the assets. For information about adjusting specific books, see the <Link href="/baanerp/tf/onlinemanual/000170" role="manual">Adjusting Asset Books</Link> topic. Regardless, SSA ERP records journal entries from the mass adjustment using the values in the assets' default general ledger books.</Paragraph>

			<Paragraph>The same restrictions that apply to asset adjustment apply to mass adjustment. For more information, see the <Link href="/baanerp/tf/onlinemanual/000140" role="manual">Asset Adjustment Restrictions</Link> topic.</Paragraph>
		</Note>
		<Paragraph>For each mass adjustment you enter, SSA ERP applies your changes to the assets and books that match your transaction criteria, and it records the former values of each asset for historical purposes. This allows you to perform an inquiry to view all the changes made to an asset and its related books throughout its life.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph>You enter a date for each mass asset adjustment to determine when the change takes effect. Based on the values you adjust, SSA ERP can have to restate depreciation. For changes to owner code or business percentage, SSA ERP restates from the effective date. SSA ERP does not restate depreciation for changes to vintage/group account, auto or listed status, location, distribution, quantity, or ITC method. However, depending on the effective date, SSA ERP can make an adjusting entry.</Paragraph>
		<Note><SectionTitle>Note</SectionTitle>
			<Paragraph>The effective date you enter cannot be prior to the assets service date.</Paragraph>
		</Note>
		<List><ListIntro>In addition to recording mass adjustments, there are two other types of adjustments you can make:</ListIntro>
			<ListItem>Single adjustments, to make a similar change to one or more assets individually. For more information, see the <Link href="/baanerp/tf/onlinemanual/000099" role="manual">Asset Adjustment</Link> topic</ListItem>
			<ListItem>Vintage/group account adjustments, to adjust assets subject to ADR or MACRS group tax reporting by adjusting the vintage/group account to which they belong. For more information, see the <Link href="/baanerp/tf/onlinemanual/000075" role="manual">Adjusting Vintage/Group Accounts</Link> topic.</ListItem>
