	<GeneralSection><Paragraph>When you create an asset, one or more books can be assigned to the asset. The <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/fam" role="module">Fixed Assets Management</GUIRef> module uses the information within each book to determine how an asset depreciates and to record transactional data for the asset. Each book that is assigned to an asset can contain different data about that asset, and the asset can depreciate differently in each book.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph>SSA ERP assigns a set of default books to each new asset upon creation in the <Link href="/baanerp/tf/fam/tffam1510m000" role="session">Asset Books (tffam1510m000)</Link> session. If a book is not required, you can remove the association with the default book. You can add an association with a book that is not a default book.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph>Each company's assets must have a relationship with a financial or commercial type book that is specified as the default <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/gld" role="module">General Ledger</GUIRef> posting book in the <Link href="/baanerp/tf/fam/tffam0100s000" role="session">FAM Parameter (tffam0100s000)</Link> session. The default-posting book is the primary book from which SSA ERP draws asset data when you send journal entries to the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/gld" role="module">General Ledger</GUIRef>. You cannot remove or change the default-posting book from an asset.</Paragraph>
