> You can set up depreciation books for fixed assets by using the Books (FA205000) window.


For more information: [Books (FA205000)](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/visma-net-erp/help/fixed-assets/fixed-asset-windows/books-fa205000/index.md).

You can set up depreciation books for fixed assets by using the [Books (FA205000)](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/visma-net-erp/help/fixed-assets/fixed-asset-windows/books-fa205000/index.md) window.
You then assign one book or
multiple books to an asset class, depending on your company policy.

1. Go to the [Books (FA205000)](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/visma-net-erp/help/fixed-assets/fixed-asset-windows/books-fa205000/index.md) window.
1. Click ![icon-add](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/media/visma-net-erp/icon-add.png)
1. In the **Book ID** column, type a short name of the book.
1. In the **Description** column, type the description of the book.
1. If you want to make a posting book, select the **Update general ledger** check box.

    > [!NOTE]
    > You can select only one book for posting.
1. Select the mid-period type for the book.
1. Specify the mid-period day.
1. Click ![icon-save](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/media/visma-net-erp/icon-save.png).

After you add a new non-posting book, set up a calendar for the book by
using the [Book calendars (FA206000)](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/visma-net-erp/help/fixed-assets/fixed-asset-windows/book-calendars-fa206000/index.md) window.
