	<GeneralSection><Paragraph>You remove capitalization from an asset when you capitalized an asset that should not have been placed into service. You can remove capitalization from one or more assets at a time. When you remove capitalization from an asset, its status changes from <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/domains/fam.asta#capi" role="enum">Acquired</GUIRef> to <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/domains/fam.asta#remo" role="enum">Removed</GUIRef>.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph>SSA ERP cannot depreciate assets with a status of <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/domains/fam.asta#remo" role="enum">Removed</GUIRef>, and you cannot record transactions against them. The next time you run the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/fam/tffam8205m000" role="session">Period End (tffam8205m000)</GUIRef> session, SSA ERP will purge assets with a status of <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/domains/fam.asta#remo" role="enum">Removed</GUIRef> if they have been retained for longer than the periods of asset history specified in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/fam/tffam0100s000" role="session">FAM Parameter (tffam0100s000)</GUIRef> session.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph>You can recapitalize assets that have the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/domains/fam.asta#remo" role="enum">Removed</GUIRef> status. For example, you can make corrections to the asset's details and then capitalize the asset again.</Paragraph>
		<Note><SectionTitle>Note</SectionTitle>
			<Paragraph>You can remove capitalization from only those assets that have not yet begun to depreciate. If the asset has already started to accumulate depreciation in any of its related books, you can adjust the asset life or cost to zero to prevent further depreciation, you can dispose of the asset, or you can restate the asset to its service date and remove it. For more information, see <Link href="/baanerp/tf/onlinemanual/000099" role="manual">Asset Adjustment</Link>.</Paragraph>
		</Note>
		<Paragraph>If the asset capitalization had been suppressed, you can suppress the remove capitalization journal entry also by selecting the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/fam/tffam1201m000#suppress" role="formfield">Suppress Journal Entries</GUIRef> check box in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/fam/tffam1201m000" role="session">Remove Capitalization (tffam1201m000)</GUIRef> session.</Paragraph>
