How do I bring the fixed assets from my previous/old/legacy system to Odoo?

Question

Prerequisite: 1.
The following example is in version 17 with USA
localization. The configuration should apply to most of the versions with
slight differences.

Use case:  1.
We purchased a fixed asset called: Lenovo
computer for $700 on 2020/11/1.
2.
The non-depreciated value is $100.
3.
We start using Odoo on 2023/1/15.
4.
By 2023/1/15, we had depreciated in the old
system for $500 on the fixed asset.
5.
The fixed asset book value as of 2023/1/15 is
$200.

Configuration: 1.
Set the original value as $700. The acquisition
date is 11/1/2023.
Not depreciable value as $100. Odoo will automatically calculate the book value
with the depreciated amount.

Set the duration 3 years and depreciated amount
of $500.

2. Set the account and account type as suggestions
below. Please consult your CPA for more details.
15100 Fixed Asset, fixed asset type
151200 Fixed Asset Depreciation, Fixed asset type
62200 Fixed Asset Expense, Deprecation type (expense)
