How to: Set Up Fixed Asset Depreciation Books Manually
In an FA depreciation book, you specify how Microsoft Dynamics NAV will depreciate a fixed asset. You can use various depreciation methods for your fixed assets. If you want to depreciate one or more fixed assets by several depreciation methods, you must set up multiple FA depreciation books.
To set up FA depreciation books manually
In the Search box, enter Fixed Assets, and then choose the related link.
Select the fixed asset for which you want to set up a FA depreciation book.
On the Home tab, in the Process group, choose Depreciation Books to open the FA Depreciation Books window.
Fill in the relevant fields.
Note
When you use the manual method, you must enter depreciation manually in either the FA general ledger journal or the FA journal. The Calculate Depreciation batch job omits fixed assets that use the manual depreciation method. You can use this method for assets that are not subject to depreciation, for example, land.
