What is a Depreciation/Property Class?
A Depreciation/Property Class is a configurable record for the Property Control module that stores information relating to Depreciation Method and Recovery Period. When a Depreciation/Property Class is added to a Fixed Asset Record, the Book Life, Depreciation Method, and Depreciation Convention fields on the Fixed Asset Record will automatically populate based on the values specified in the Depreciation/Property Class. The Depreciation Method and Depreciation System fields on a Depreciation Class are fixed and cannot be updated after creation. Veracross only supports Straight-Line Depreciation. GL Defaults can also be set on the Depreciation/Property Class level or on the Asset Category level.
Depreciation Class and Property Class are currently used interchangeably within the system, but both pertain to the same record list.
