Constant fields refer to the depreciation year and period frequency. These fields are interrelated, which means that the values in period frequency are based on the depreciation year. The depreciation year represents the basis of calculation of depreciation, whether calendar or fiscal.
The period frequency represents ledger accruals during the calendar year, as follows:
- If the selected depreciation year is a calendar year, Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations assumes that the calendar year starts from January. The available values are yearly, monthly, quarterly, and half-yearly.
- If the selected depreciation year is year, Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations considers the fiscal year setup that might start at July. The available values are yearly and fiscal period.
