The asset number and asset extension create a unique identifier for the asset in the selected company.
Asset Books (tffam1510m000)Use this session to maintain asset books. You can select asset books to view information or to perform transactions related to asset books. When you define an asset, you assign a series of books to the asset. You use books to record asset depreciation and other transactional data for your organization's assets. A list of books is automatically entered from the Default Book (tffam0110m000) session associated with the company you assign to the asset. In the Default Book (tffam0110m000) session, books are indicated as required or not required. Required default books must remain on the asset record. Default books that are not required can be used for the asset or, if they are not needed, they can be removed from the asset. By default, asset books are defined in the Default Books (tffam0510m000) subsession of the FAM Parameters (tffam0100s000) session ( Default Books button or command). Books can be added or removed as needed. However, you cannot remove or modify a book for which the Required Book check box in the Default Book (tffam0110m000) session is selected, nor the default General Ledger book. Any non-required book can be removed prior to asset capitalization. For each book you create, you specify whether assets associated with the book depreciate or not. An asset can depreciate differently in different books, or not depreciate at all in a book. Depreciation values for the asset are stored at asset-book level. You also specify the type of book. Assets marked as ADR cannot be depreciated in this session. You can start the Vintage/Group Account (tffam7170s000) session and run depreciation on the entire account. If you select an asset with an ADR book and try to depreciate it, LN processes all other books and assets, and skips the ADR book. An asset book is considered suspended if the current period is set as suspended in the depreciation frequency record in use for the asset book. When an asset is suspended, it does not depreciate.
Asset Number The asset number and asset extension create a unique identifier for the asset in the selected company.

Default value The book type specified in Books (tffam6500m000) for related books on the asset record. Home Currency One of a company's base currencies in which LN registers and reports amounts. In a multicurrency system, up to three home currencies can be defined: Depreciation Depreciation Definition Property Type A classification of fixed assets for United States legal tax depreciation requirements. The property type code identifies the unique property type set up in Property Types (tffam7180m000). Default value is from the Category (tffam2100s000) session. Depreciation Code The depreciation system according to which depreciation, value reduction, revaluation, and so on are calculated.

Tax Method Type The Tax Method Type specified in the Depreciation Method (tffam7110s000) session. Depreciation Frequency A way to determine how often depreciation is recorded. It also determines whether a particular period is suspended. Default value Obtained from FAM Parameters (tffam0100s000), according to the book type. Last Depreciation Date Last date depreciation was calculated for the selected asset. Shift Factor The shift factor takes an extra depreciation factor for an asset that is used beyond a typical 8-hour workday. For example, a machine may be used for two 8-hour shifts per day. Allowed values The value cannot fall below 1.0 The shift factor depends on tax regulations. For example, in Germany the shift factor is 1.25 for two shifts, and 1.5 for three shifts. The default shift factor is defined in the Asset Details (tffam1600m000) session. The shift factor of U.S. books ( Financial, Federal Tax, Other Tax) are disallowed for modification. The depreciation value is multiplied by shift factor.
