Hello All -

I have a client that uses a 4-4-5 calendar for all postings to the ledger except for Fixed Assets where they post depreciation each month based on a normal calendar year. Do I need to set up different fiscal calendars, one for Fixed Assets using normal start and end dates (i.e. 1/1/24..1/31/24) and

then one for the 4-4-5 period dates (i.e. 12/30/23..1/26/24)?

What is the difference between calendar year and fiscal on Depreciation year on the depreciation profile form?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Yes, you'll need two calendars. Fiscal refers to other than a Calendar year, as in your case, the 4-4-5 Fiscal calendar.

Frank - if I need to set up two calendars then how do I link them both to a Ledger?

Also, when I attempt to add the FA ledger fiscal periods via Excel publish I get this error.

You can create multiple calendars. You can only select one in Ledger. On assets you can select the others.

As Billur said, you set your 4-4-5 Calendar on the ledger and your Calendar year calendar on Fixed asset book:

Hi,

Just to add to others point

On depreciation profile if you select calendar that means you can use different calendar on Books for depreciation (That can be same as fiscal or FA specific)

and if you select fiscal which means you would like to follwo the same one which you have in legder setup
