AM01.1 - Current Calendar
Use Current Calendar (AM01.1) to define an asset processing calendar
for a book. Calendars are processing schedules and posting dates that asset
books use to calculate depreciation, replacement costs, insurance values,
and reporting date ranges. You must define a calendar for each book and for
each company that will use that book.
**Process at a Glance
1. Define at least one depreciation book.
2. (This step) Define a depreciation calendar for the current
year (AM01.1).
3. Define an asset type (AM06.1)
4. Define an account group (AM05.1)
5. Define an accounting unit group (AM09.1)
**Processing Effect
If you specify more than one period per processing period, be aware
that the number you enter in the Total Periods field must be equal to the
total number of periods entered in the Per field for the entire calendar.
For example, in a 52 (4-4-5) week calendar, the total number of periods is
52, even though the total number of processing periods is 12.
If you are converting from non-Lawson to Lawson Asset Management in
mid-year, type the number of periods already closed in the Period Closed
field.
This is important to ensure the accuracy of depreciation calculations for
the rest of the year.
If your company uses system control, the period end dates must be within
the GL company period end dates defined on Company (GL10.1) so you can close
the Asset Management periods before you close the General Ledger periods.

AM01.2 - Historical Calendar
Use Historical Calendar (AM01.2) to define a previous year processing
calendar for a book. Define a historical calendar if the previous year's
calendar
structure is different from the current year's calendar structure. If you
do not set up a historical calendar, Asset Management uses the same structure
as the current calendar to calculate previous year depreciation.
**Process at a Glance
1. Define at least one depreciation book.
2. Define a depreciation calendar for the current year (AM01.1).
1. (Optional - this step) Define an historical calendar (AM01.2)
2. (Optional) Define a future calendar (AM01.3)
3. Define an asset type (AM06.1)
4. Define an account group (AM05.1)
5. Define an accounting unit group (AM09.1)
**Processing Effect
If you specify more than one period per processing period, be aware
that the number you enter in the Total Periods field must be equal to the
total number of periods entered in the Per field for the entire calendar.
For example, in a 52 (4-4-5) week calendar, the total number of periods is
52, even though the total number of processing periods is 12.

AM01.3 - Future Calendar
Use Future Calendar (AM01.3) to define a future asset processing calendar
for a book. Define a future calendar if you expect next year's calendar
structure
to be different from the current year's calendar structure. If you do not
set up a future calendar, Asset Management uses the same structure as the
current calendar to calculate depreciation projections for real or simulated
assets.
**Process at a Glance
1. 1. Define at least one depreciation book.
2. 2. Define a depreciation calendar for the current year (AM01.1).
1. (Optional) Define an historical calendar (AM01.2)
2. (Optional - this step) Define a future calendar (AM01.3)
3. Define an asset type (AM06.1)
