| # Asset Book (tffam1110s000) Use this session to associate books with an asset. You maintain book details for an asset-book relationship. When you enter an asset into LN, you assign one or more books to the asset. You use books to record asset depreciation and other transactional data for your organization's assets. Asset books are defined by default in the Default Books (tffam0510m000) subsession of the FAM Parameter (tffam0100s000) session (Button: Book Parameter). Books can be added or removed as needed. However, you cannot remove or modify a book for which the Required Book check box in the Default Book (tffam0110m000) session is selected, nor the default General Ledger book. Any nonrequired book can be removed prior to asset capitalization. For each book you create, you specify whether assets associated with the book depreciate or not. An asset can depreciate differently in different books, or not depreciate at all in a book. Depreciation values for the asset are stored at asset-book level. You also specify the type of book. Assets marked as ADR cannot be depreciated in this session. You can start the Vintage/Group Account (tffam7170s000) session and run depreciation on the entire account. If you select an asset with an ADR book and try to depreciate it, LN processes all other books and assets, and skips the ADR book. An asset book is considered suspended when the current period is set as suspended in the depreciation frequency record in use for the asset book. When an asset is suspended, it does not depreciate.
