         <Paragraph>Use this session to specify periods that are <Link href="/baanerp/tf/glossary/glossary#000146" role="glossary">suspended</Link>. An
asset is suspended based on its <Link href="/baanerp/tf/glossary/glossary#000103" role="glossary">frequency</Link>. Each frequency offers
you the ability to identify periods which must be suspended each year. During
those periods, depreciation for the assets does not accumulate and the current
recovery period does not increment.</Paragraph>
      </AimSection>
      <GeneralSection>
         <Paragraph>Asset depreciation does not accumulate during a suspended period, the current <Link href="/baanerp/tf/glossary/glossary#000141" role="glossary">recovery period</Link> does not increment, and no other transactions
can be carried out against this asset book.</Paragraph>
         <Paragraph>Suspended periods are ignored for assets that use either <Link href="/baanerp/tf/glossary/glossary#000139" role="glossary">MACRS</Link> table or <Link href="/baanerp/tf/glossary/glossary#000104" role="glossary">ACRS</Link> table depreciation methods in <Link href="/baanerp/tf/glossary/glossary#000155" role="glossary">Federal Tax books</Link>. They are also ignored in the <Link href="/baanerp/tf/glossary/glossary#000115" role="glossary">ADR</Link> book if they are ADR assets. If you want to use MACRS or
ACRS depreciation methods for assets with suspended periods, you must use MACRS
formula or ACRS formula methods.</Paragraph>
         <Paragraph> 
            <Link href="/baanerp/tf/glossary/glossary#000178" role="glossary">UOP</Link> methods ignore suspended periods. The life of an asset using
a UOP method is not dictated by time, but is really based on the units that the
user enters. For a UOP asset it would not make sense to have a suspendend period
as an asset suspended from use would not be accumulating units used during that
time.</Paragraph>
