AM180 - Depreciation Calculation and Listing

This program computes depreciation for all asset books for a company or
company group. Only assets that have been released either online or by AM170
(Processing Release) are eligible for depreciation calculation. You can run
this program as often as you want. An optional edit listing without
depreciation calculation is also available.

Before you can close a period using AM190 (Period Close), you must process all
depreciable assets for a book through this program. (Use Compute option A (All
Assets).)
