	<GeneralSection><Paragraph>The <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Special</GUIRef> book type, which is a non-United States book type, permits specific depreciation methods to be posted to the general ledger. It supplements <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Commercial</GUIRef> or <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Statutory</GUIRef> depreciation.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph>You cannot use this book as the posting book in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/fam/tffam0100s000" role="session">FAM Parameter (tffam0100s000)</GUIRef> session, however you can use a check box in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/fam/tffam1110s000" role="session">Asset Book (tffam1110s000)</GUIRef> session to enable posting. Additional posting is allowed which allows extra posting of a <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Fixed</GUIRef> amount and/or method.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph><GUIRef href="" role="manual">Special</GUIRef> books have no subtypes and use <Link href="/baanerp/tf/glossary/glossary#000169" role="glossary">section 179 values</Link> in depreciation calculation if 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. This book uses the special account type in the <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Integration Schemes</GUIRef> to determine the debit accounts and the credit accounts for posting.</Paragraph>
