Alternate Depreciation Overview
Alternate Depreciation tracks a second depreciation amount on rental equipment, for tax and management purposes.

When rental equipment is entered using Add Rental Products the alternate depreciation information can be setup on the Fixed Asset Tag in the window on the Alternative Book Value.
There are the same fields as the standard Asset Tag, except that these fields are for the Alternative Depreciation information.
This information is updated whenever equipment is transferred (from rental to sale, or External Branch), additions are made, or equipment is disposed or when an Alternate Depreciation run is accepted.

The Alternative Accumulated Depreciation amounts are updated when Alternate Depreciation is run.
The Alternative Depreciation does NOT post to the General Ledger, however, the Alternative Depreciation information is used on the following reports:

Book Value Report
Disposal Transactions Report
Equipment Summary Report

The process of calculating the Alternative Depreciation is identical to the standard depreciation run.
Refer to the Depreciation Overview for details on this feature.
