Vintage/Group Account (tffam7170s000)Use this session to maintain the vintage/group accounts used to track and maximize the tax deduction for assets subject to ADR and MACRS group depreciation. Assets in a vintage or group account are depreciated as a group, and are subject to different disposal rules than assets that are not part of these accounts. All assets associated with the same accounts must share the same parameters because they depreciate together. In order to add a vintage or group account to the Fixed Assets module, you must have first set up an ADR book in Default Book (tffam0110m000) because only the ADR book is depreciated. You cannot delete or modify a vintage or group account that is associated with an asset.
