      <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</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>LN 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 LN 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>

         <Paragraph>If an asset is in a <Link href="/baanerp/tf/glossary/glossary#000148" role="glossary">vintage/group account</Link>, it
		  must be associated with the <Link href="/baanerp/tf/glossary/glossary#000115" role="glossary">ADR</Link> book.</Paragraph>
