Dears, I suggest to have a local asset_move/lines table rather than dealing with account_move/lines directly and a method of periodical accumulative posting to GL affecting just 3 accounts (fixed asset account, asset depreciation account and expense account) in one single move.
This is to avoid the situation where I have 50 fixed asset in my company and I compute the depreciation monthly, consequently this would create 100 move lines per month and I will end up with a general ledger full of asset depreciation transactions. Considering this solution, only detailed report about the asset depreciation will be provided by FAM module and the accounting module would just show accumulative transactions/accounts Thanks --- On Fri, 5/6/11, Bogdan Stanciu <[email protected]> wrote: From: Bogdan Stanciu <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Openerp-expert-accounting] Fixed Assets Management in OpenERP 6 To: [email protected] Date: Friday, May 6, 2011, 10:37 AM On 28. 04. 11 18:38, [email protected] wrote: > > > > Other things to consider: > It may happen one invoice line to be related with many assets (say 10 > PCs) each of them should have a record in asset_asset table. > yes, this is an issue! I acutally "found" it already, but I was "lucky" i didn't need it yet. However, I wonder if this really a shortcoming of the FAM module, or of the account module. I mean, if you take into consideraton any product which could become a FA, it usually has a unique identifier. (maybe I miss some cases) e.g. invoice for 10 PC. ok, this COULD be written on one line, but you would still have to have somewhere each one's P/N, serial no, whatever. maybe we should look into that direction... maybe real-life experience could help here... > > > And in case of construction of buildings or of assembly lines you can > have many invoices related to the same asset. > In this case, it shouldn't create a new asset for each invoice, but > permit to choose an existing asset to associate to the current invoice. > yes and no... unless you pay the same thing several times :-) form the building, I would rather go with creating a new asset, not from one (or many) invoices. in any case, in order to create an asset, you need to tick the case asset when writing the line. you can always register the purchase in the asset account, but not create (automatically) an asset. > > it's a relation maby2many. > > Thank you! > Paulino Ascenção > thank you _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openerp-expert-accounting Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openerp-expert-accounting More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
