	<HelpTopic><AimSection><Paragraph>Use this session to view information on <Link href="/baanerp/tf/glossary/glossary#000122" role="glossary">books</Link> and to create new books. You use books to record <Link href="/baanerp/tf/glossary/glossary#000128" role="glossary">depreciation</Link> and other transactional data for a company's assets. When you enter an asset into SSA ERP, you assign one or more books to the asset. You must set up books before you can set up FAM parameters. The posting book and the <Link href="/baanerp/tf/glossary/glossary#000115" role="glossary">ADR</Link> book, defined in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/fam/tffam0100s000" role="session">FAM Parameter (tffam0100s000)</GUIRef> session, are mandatory books.</Paragraph>
		</AimSection>
		<GeneralSection><Paragraph>In the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/fam/tffam6500m000" role="session">Books (tffam6500m000)</GUIRef> session, you can specify whether assets associated with the book will depreciate or not. An asset can depreciate differently in different books or not depreciate at all in a book. You can also view the book code, type of book, and the federal tax type, which you specify in the <Link href="/baanerp/tf/fam/tffam6100s000" role="session">Book (tffam6100s000)</Link> session.</Paragraph>
			<Paragraph>Each book is attached to an asset. There can be several books attached to one asset. You must create at least one default posting book in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/fam/tffam0100s000" role="session">FAM Parameter (tffam0100s000)</GUIRef> session). If you want one book to be an ADR book, the <Link href="/baanerp/tf/glossary/glossary#000155" role="glossary">Federal Tax book</Link> is the default.</Paragraph>
