| # Mass Depreciation (tffam8230m000) Use this session to specify a range of assets to depreciate. You can depreciate several assets together if they are in the same company. When computing depreciation, LN calculates and compares the new value to the existing value. The difference is recorded as the journal entry for that period. Note LN calculates the depreciation amount as follows:
    depreciation amount = transaction costs / asset life
If the costs in relation to the asset life are so low that after rounding off the amount according to the currency definition the depreciation amount approaches zero, the depreciation does not end. Depreciation transactions with zero amounts are created and the asset net book value is not decreased. In order to obtain the assets you want to depreciate together, you enter values the criteria fields, or leave them blank to perform the transaction on all assets in LN. For each book, LN first determines whether depreciation must occur. If depreciation has not occurred, based on evaluation of the last depreciation date, the transaction is processed for all periods up to the depreciation through date. You specify a period and year for depreciation to run through. If a prior period is specified, nothing occurs.
