Alternate Schedule in FAM Module We are planning to start using the Alternate Schedule feature in FAM. I just wanted to double check with the community if my process below is correct. 1. I will have to create a FAM Alternate Method. For tax purposes, our depreciation method varies by asset. Do I just create one FAM Alternate Method and call it "Tax", set a default depreciation method as it is required, and just override the depreciation method in the Alternative Depreciation record? I noticed that the standard reports have the Alternate Method filter, so if I want to run a fixed asset report for tax purposes, it would be easier if all of them are linked to the same Alternate Method, right? 2. I will upload the FAM Alternate Depreciation records. This is where I can override the default depreciation method per individual asset. 3. I will upload the Depreciation History Records related to the Alternate Depreciation records. I'm just planning to import the cumulative depreciation as of the transition date. But I don't understand the purpose of the following fields: A. Period vs. Depreciation Period B. Depreciation Method vs. Alternate Method
