Den här artikeln ger dig information om elementen du ser i det här fönstret i Visma.net ERP, till exempel fält, fältvärden, knappar och kryssrutor.
The depreciation method determines how the asset cost is allocated over the useful life.Visma.net ERP provides multiple predefined depreciation methods, but you can also create the required custom depreciation methods.
To create a custom table-based method, specify the depreciation percent of the depreciable basis that will be allocated over every year of the asset's useful life:
-
First, add a table method of the class type that will be used to aggregate methods of the asset type.
-
Then, add methods of asset type that are used to specify the annual percentage for the selected convention period.
With table-based depreciation methods, the system does not take into consideration the acquisition date of the asset.
The depreciation amounts within the year are calculated based on the period of the asset acquisition.

In this area, you can enter information for a new depreciation method, or view or edit the information for an existing one.
