	<GeneralSection><Paragraph>The <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Commercial</GUIRef> book is the standard financial book for the non-United States countries. It is used to post journal entries to the <Link href="/baanerp/tf/onlinemanual/tfgld" role="module">General Ledger (GLD)</Link>, or to capture other values used for financial reporting. This book can be the posting book and additional posting is allowed. This allows extra posting of a fixed amount and/or method.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph>Commercial books have no sub types and use the <Link href="/baanerp/tf/glossary/glossary#000169" role="glossary">section 179 value</Link> in depreciation calculation, if the value is entered. Both the <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Annuity</GUIRef> depreciation method and <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Economic Recapture</GUIRef> are invalid for this book type. It posts to the depreciation expense account as a debit and to the accumulated depreciation account as credit.</Paragraph>
