         <Paragraph>Use this session to maintain <Link href="/baanerp/tf/glossary/glossary#000103" role="glossary">depreciation frequencies</Link>.
Depreciation frequencies identify when depreciation must be run and recorded for
assets and their related books. ERP Enterprise applies the defaults to all the
books related to an asset during asset entry and checks the frequencies each
time you run depreciation.</Paragraph>
      </AimSection>
      <GeneralSection>
         <Paragraph>The first frequency added will automatically be selected as the default. If you
select another frequency as the default, the previously selected default will be
de-selected. You cannot delete the default frequency. You cannot delete
depreciation frequencies if they are in use by an asset. You can delete one or
multiple depreciation frequencies that are not in use.</Paragraph>
         <Paragraph>Depreciation frequencies are calendar dependent. A calendar is defined in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/gld/tfgld0105m000" role="session">Periods (tfgld0105m000)</GUIRef> session. Calendars with an odd number of periods support only
Periodic and Annual recording frequencies. Calendars with an even number of
periods support Periodic, Semiannual, and Annual recording frequencies.
Calendars with a number of periods evenly divisible by four support all
frequencies.</Paragraph>
         <Paragraph>Depreciation frequencies also indicate which periods, if any, are <Link href="/baanerp/tf/glossary/glossary#000146" role="glossary">suspended</Link> for an asset and its related books. When a period is
suspended, ERP Enterprise does not accumulate depreciation for any assets and their
related books in that period.</Paragraph>
         <Paragraph>During depreciation, ERP Enterprise looks at the last depreciated date for the <Link href="/baanerp/tf/glossary/glossary#000114" role="glossary">asset books</Link> and compares this to the frequency to determine if
depreciation needs to be recorded in the selected periods, and if depreciation
needs to be suspended in the selected periods.</Paragraph>

            <Paragraph>Assets subject to <Link href="/baanerp/tf/glossary/glossary#000115" role="glossary">ADR</Link> and <Link href="/baanerp/tf/glossary/glossary#000139" role="glossary">MACRS</Link> group
depreciation are not subject to suspended periods when they depreciate. ERP Enterprise depreciates each period for these assets even if the frequency
indicates the period is suspended.</Paragraph>
