Make book treatment equal to tax treatment

The asset cost entered in the tax treatment is used in the book treatment by default. If you entered different values in the book treatment and need to make book equal to tax, your 2 options are to make book equal to tax only in existing assets, or to all existing and future assets.

  • You can select on an item-by-item basis to have other values entered in the tax treatment transfer to the book treatment during data entry. Select
