    Select a depreciation convention for this book. This convention determines how depreciation is calculated for the first year and the last year that an asset is in service. The value that you select is a default value and is modified when you assign a book to an asset. For a detailed list, see Depreciation conventions.

    Select this check box to switch to a second depreciation method when it is an advantage. You assign a depreciation method to a book when you associate the book with an asset using Books. To define a depreciation method where method switches are allowed, use Methods.
    Track Depreciation History
    Select this check box to store depreciation history records for assets that are added to this book. Asset transaction history is recorded for all companies and assets that use the book.
