    Base Depreciation Value

    The standard accumulated depreciation for the asset budget record. It reflects the depreciation calculated and posted by Depreciation Calculation, Ledger Entry, Ledger Import or Asset Disposal. It is the sum of all transactions posted to the asset with an asset indicator of Depreciation. This amount includes reduction depreciation, but excludes advanced depreciation, which is displayed in the field below.

    Base Final Value

    The final value of the asset budget record in the asset currency. It may be scrap or residual value. If using Japanese Straight Line depreciation method, this is the first Final Value used to determine the annual depreciation amount. See How is the Final Asset Value Treated?

    Base Days for First Period

    The number of days in the first period in the life of the asset. This field relates to the feature, available for Straight Line depreciation, which allows you to start to depreciate an asset part way through the first period.

This is required if depreciation should only be charged for this number of days, for the first period in the life of the asset.
