If you need to register an asset in your accounting that is not tax-depreciable — for example, one received as a gift — the following article will show you how to do it.
Open a new asset card and, in the "Basic Sheet" tab, fill in the asset type and category, the acquisition cost, the purchase date, the method of acquisition, and, if applicable, the acquisition document.
Next, navigate to the "Depreciation" tab, where you select the option to generate accounting depreciation and enter the number of depreciation months. From the available options, choose a depreciation method, for example, straight-line.
In the next step, you will need to create a new "Depreciation Group" in which the depreciation method should match the depreciation method specified in the asset card.
To create a depreciation group, right-click on the depreciation group field and select "Open." This will take you to the depreciation groups list, where you can click the New button to create a new depreciation group. You can then assign it to the asset card.
Select "Generate Depreciation" in the top-right corner of the asset card. The result will be accounting depreciation entries generated according to the configured accounting depreciation period.
