         <Paragraph>Use this session to define <Link href="/baanerp/tf/glossary/glossary#DeprecMethod_tf" role="glossary">depreciation method</Link> codes that are used to calculate depreciation over the life of the asset. These
		  codes and other parameters indicate how quickly and by what percentages an
		  asset depreciates in its <Link href="/baanerp/tf/glossary/glossary#000114" role="glossary">asset books</Link> throughout the asset's life cycle.</Paragraph>
      </AimSection>
      <GeneralSection>
         <Paragraph>For assets in an <Link href="/baanerp/tf/glossary/glossary#000139" role="glossary">MACRS</Link> group account, the depreciation method also specifies the life of the assets.
		  The life for assets in <Link href="/baanerp/tf/glossary/glossary#000115" role="glossary">ADR</Link> accounts is specified separately from the depreciation method.</Paragraph>
         <Paragraph>ERP Enterprise supplies depreciation methods that define types of depreciation. You can use
		  these methods when you set up <Link href="/baanerp/tf/glossary/glossary#000124" role="glossary">categories</Link> in the <Link href="/baanerp/tf/fam/tffam2100s000" role="session">Category (tffam2100s000)</Link> session. You can also create your own depreciation
		  methods to depreciate assets for which existing methods are not suitable.</Paragraph>
         <Paragraph>When you create a method, you enter a unique label and a
		  description, and you specify the percentage of depreciation for each year in a
		  range of up to 60 years. When you run depreciation for assets that use a method
		  you created, ERP Enterprise uses
		  the corresponding percentages.</Paragraph>
         <Paragraph>You can create a free definable method by setting the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/fam/tffam7110s000#tffam710.type" role="manual">Depreciation Method</GUIRef> field to <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/domains/fam.mtyp#custom" role="option">Custom Method</GUIRef>. You have to decide whether the custom method is monthly or
		  yearly by setting the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/fam/tffam7110s000#tffam710.rtty" role="manual">Rate Table Type</GUIRef> field to <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/domains/fam.rtty#month" role="option">Monthly</GUIRef> or <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/domains/fam.rtty#year" role="option">Yearly</GUIRef>.</Paragraph>
         <Paragraph>For a monthly custom method the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/fam/tffam7110s000#tffam710.conv" role="manual">Avg. Convention</GUIRef> field must be set to <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/domains/fam.conv#none" role="option">None</GUIRef> or <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/domains/fam.conv#mid.mont" role="option">Mid-Month</GUIRef>. For a monthly custom method define the monthly
		  depreciation rates by using the Monthly Rates button in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/fam/tffam7150m000" role="session">Monthly Rates (tffam7150m000)</GUIRef> subsession. For a yearly custom method define the
		  yearly depreciation rates by using the Yearly Rates button in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/fam/tffam7165m000" role="session">Yearly Rates (tffam7165m000)</GUIRef> sub-session.</Paragraph>
