Field Description
Accum Depr Acct Code

For a new code, click and enter an accumulated depreciation account code.

For an existing code, use Query to select the desired code.

The codes that you establish for use with your depreciable asset records should be specific to your company requirements. You may find that user-friendly codes that are easy to remember and recognize (such as "EQUIP", "F&F", "AUTOS", and so on) will work best.

There is no virtual limit to the number of accumulated depreciation account codes that can be set up on this screen. You may set up codes of different lengths (up to a maximum of six characters), and there can be a mix of alphabetic, numeric, and/or combinations in your code definitions.
