Use this form to create and manage value models for fixed assets.
A value model contains the basic information about one life cycle that is attached to a fixed asset. A fixed asset can have several different value models.
A derogatory value model can be used with a master value model only when you select a derogatory value model in the Derogatory calculation field. The tax depreciation will be calculated for an asset, based on the derogatory value model, and the transactions will be posted to the general ledger. For more information, see (FRA) Derogatory depreciation.
