Let me explain the fields mentioned in the Depreciation Book in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central:

1. Allow Correction of Disposal

This field determines whether corrections to disposal entries for fixed assets are allowed in the depreciation book.

If enabled, users can reverse or correct transactions related to disposals of fixed assets (e.g., if there was an error in the disposal process).

When disabled, disposal entries are considered final, and no changes can be made to these entries once posted.

2. VAT on Net Disposal Entries

This field governs whether VAT (Value Added Tax) is calculated on the net disposal value of a fixed asset.

If enabled, VAT will be applied to the net amount of the disposal transaction (sale price minus any costs or adjustments related to disposal).

This is useful for ensuring compliance with VAT regulations when selling fixed assets and when taxes apply only to the net revenue.

3. Allow Identical Document No.

This setting determines whether the same document number can be reused in multiple fixed asset transactions.

If enabled, users can use the same document number for multiple journal lines or transactions in the depreciation book.

When disabled, each transaction must have a unique document number, preventing duplication and ensuring better traceability in audit scenarios.

4. Allow More Than 360/365 Days

This field controls whether depreciation calculations can span more than 360 or 365 days (a full year).

If enabled, depreciation can be calculated over a custom period that exceeds a standard year, which can be useful in cases like fiscal years longer than 12 months or in irregular depreciation setups.

When disabled, the system enforces a standard depreciation cycle based on 360 or 365 days, depending on the calendar or accounting setup.

These fields provide flexibility for managing fixed asset depreciation in compliance with varying organizational or legal requirements.

Although we have documentation, these fields can be a bit tricky to understand. I've faced similar issues multiple times and had to refer back and forth to clarify. The link below should serve as a helpful reference guide.

Thank You Everyone for this Answers,

I read the Documentations and still could check the effect in the system.

For Example
1- Allow Correction of Disposal

I have done the disposal by enabling and disabling that
Still Couldn't get it how to see the effect.

In both cases i get the same result.

Any Idea About how to see the effect (With Screenshot will be Preferred)
or Document in which you wrote about these fields because Microsoft Documentation for these points are difficult to understand.

Thanks In Advance

Allow correction of disposal refers to the actions you can take on the entry after it has already been posted. It doesn’t affect the entry when it is initially posted. More information is available here about what you can do to the entry after it has been posted - Dynamics 365 Business Central – How to cancel a full month of Depreciation in the Fixed Assets module
