FAApplicableMethod

PX.Objects.FARelease 2026.1

Represents a depreciation method applied to a fixed asset for a specific book starting from a particular period. This DAC is used in the Multiple Depreciation Methods mode to track different depreciation methods that can be applied to the same fixed asset over its lifetime. Each record defines a depreciation method with its parameters that is effective from a specific period. The records are related to FABookBalance records by the AssetID and BookID fields.

	`DeprToDate`	`datetime`		-
Description:The date through which the asset should be depreciated. This date marks the end of the asset's useful life or depreciation period. The value is defaulted from the FABookBalance.DeprToDate field of the related book balance record.
	`DeprToPeriod`	`char(6)`		-

	`IsOriginal`Nonexistent in DB	`bool?`		-
Description:A Boolean value that indicates (if set to true) that this is the original depreciation method applied to the fixed asset from the beginning of its depreciation period. If set to false, the method is a subsequent method applied after the original method. Set to true for the first method in the chronological sequence (ordered by StartPeriodID). The value is transient and only reliable during depreciation calculation execution. This field is populated only during depreciation calculation in the DepreciationCalculation graph by the DepreciationCalculation.GetApplicableMethods method. Important: Do not use this field in UI contexts (such as "AssetMaint.cs") as its value is only valid during depreciation calculations.
