Allow Negative Depreciation
The alternate approach to handling an asset when the NBV becomes less than the salvage value is to allow the system to generate negative depreciation until the NBV equals the salvage value at the end of the asset's useful life. To use this approach, simply do not select the Stop Depr when NBV < Salvage options.
