quote from http://www.ehow.com/info_8413513_depreciation-start.html If you buy a car then depreciation starts the moment you drive it off the lot. For business purposes, however, depreciation starts when an item is placed into service. In order to claim a tax deduction, the item must officially start usage before the end of the tax year. hence we need an optional "start usage date" which is used instead of purchase date if entered. the purchase date must be taken from the invoice - invoice-date (mandatory) it will almost never be 'purchase_date': lambda obj, cr, uid, context: time.strftime('%Y-%m-%d'), this is a source of errors,especially if the invoice arrives in the month after issued from the supplier. ** Affects: openobject-addons Importance: Undecided Status: Opinion -- account asset - depreciation starts with usage https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/900790 You received this bug notification because you are a member of OpenERP Accounting Experts, which is subscribed to the bug report. _______________________________________________ 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
