Dear All,

I am using the fixed assets module and is working great for this year's assets. But for old assets I am having problem to include the previous years deprecation into the current fiscal year. Any idea on how to do it?

Here my current process, I create an asset as usual, and follow this steps for a 2012 Laptop : 1. Set the "Gross Value" as the value shown in the old purchase invoice. 2. Set the number of deprecations and months in period (example 36 deprecations, monthly) 3. In the "Deprecation Board" tab click on Compute.. so far the usual steps. 4. Here the problem... how to create the deprecation moves for unexistent periods (note this asset was bought in 2012), those moves are needed for the "Residual Value" to be recomputed.

I am thinking on writing all deprecation moves in the oppening period but it is not clean as I will need to take care of several years of deprecations. Any suggestion?

I was also thinking on changing the "Gross Value" to present value (value after deprecations) but then I won't use OpenERP to query the real Gross Value (which should be the value as in the purchase invoice).

Any other idea or suggestion ?
