Title:
  account asset - depreciation starts with usage

Status in OpenERP Addons (modules):
  Opinion

Bug description:
  
  quote from
  http://www.ehow.com/info_8413513_depreciation-start.html

  If you buy a car then depreciation starts the moment you drive it off
  the lot. For business purposes, however, depreciation starts when an
  item is placed into service. In order to claim a tax deduction, the
  item must officially start usage before the end of the tax year.

  hence we need an optional "start usage date" which is used instead of
  purchase date if entered.

  the purchase date must be taken from the invoice - invoice-date (mandatory)
  it will almost never be 
  'purchase_date': lambda obj, cr, uid, context: time.strftime('%Y-%m-%d'),
  this is a source of errors,especially if the invoice arrives in the month after issued from the supplier.
