Hello [email protected],

The Sage Fixed Assets application works with years and months in the estimated life field. The life availability depends on the depreciation method used. If using a straight line depreciation method the life ends up to be flexible to use years and months. In your situation with the 57 months remaining that equates to 4 yrs and 9 months of remaining life.

What is the depreciation method that you have set on the book where the life needs to be the 4 yrs 9 months?

Jim, absolutely. The simplest way to put in the life both years and months is this: 0409. This will determine it as 4 yrs and 9 months. The estimated life field is a bit touchy so just put it in the way I suggested and you should have success. If not let us know.

Hi Lovisa,

The depreciation life needs to be SL.  When I go into the record to change it, it only allows me to enter Yrs.  Is there a way to enter both yrs and months?

Perfect,

Thank you
