EspañolDepreciation Methods
Overview
Depreciation is a method of reducing the value of assets being used over a certain period of time. This reduction of value is commonly due to usage, passage of time, wear and tear, technological outdating, depletion or absolution of the asset. All organizations have to include deprecation calculations and costs in their financial statements and processes. The method of doing these exercises varies depending on the type of depreciation and the asset being depreciated. The Depreciation Method screen's purpose is to provide standardized and user defined methods that will be the basis for performing fixed assets depreciation and postings. All these methods are cataloged by unique identification codes that will be available for authorized users to search.
