In Sage Fixed Assets Depreciation, Depreciation Network, and Premier Depreciation versions 2021.0 allow you to add up to 13 more books. You can have up to 20 books in a company. You can use the new books for state tax depreciation, property taxes, historical records, and ADS depreciation.

To add books:

Note: Once you add a book to the Edit Company dialog, you can't delete it. You can only open or close it. See How to open or close a book for details

1. Go to File menu, Edit Company and click Add Book. This will open the Add Book dialog
2. In the Add Book dialog: Enter the new book's name and click Add.
   • The new book's name must be unique. The Book Title field is case-sensitive. You can create a book called internal when there’s a default Internal book. Sage doesn't recommend repeating a book title with only a case change.
3. You can edit other book elements later:
   • Fiscal Year end: If needed to match your existing books, see How to set up Short Years. If You're on Premier, see How to change the fiscal year end and/or accounting cycle in Premier.
   • Book Emulation: Select the book you want to use for default Depreciation Method and Estimated Life. The system will copy these defaults into the new book during asset entry. See How to apply book defaults for details.
   • Default Method: If the Book selected for Book Emulation is a Tax Book (Tax, State, or AMT) this option isn't available. If the Book selected for Book Emulation is Internal, then you can select from the available GAAP methods.
   • Enable Begin Fields: We recommend leaving this set to the default of Yes. See Unable to enter Beginning date for more information.
4. Click OK and click Yes to save the changes and add the new book.
