With particular transactions it is necessary to enter several
additional dependent transaction types, such as in the case of complete
retirements it is sometimes necessary to permit a transaction type for
prior-year acquisitions and for current-year acquisitions. The same is
true for write-ups for which you must also permit the transaction type
for accumulated depreciations.
