If you’re using Sage Fixed Assets Lite Depreicaiton editions, see How to apply Midquarter or Half Year convention in Lite Depreciation instead.

Note: The MACRS Convention Switch will affect only assets Selected in the Asset List that qualify for Midquarter and are Placed-in-Service in a given Fiscal Period.

1. Go to the Asset List view, click Edit, Select All.
2. Click Depreciation, MACRS Convention Switch.
3. Select books to change.
4. Specify the fiscal year-end date of the year to switch.

1. Go to Depreciation, Depreciate to depreciate assets.
2. Select the All Completed Assets group.
3. Enter the Current Through Date of the assets.
