Hi,

In Costa Rica we need a start_depreciation_date or something similar.
Not because the legal reason (or not only at least), but because it is a
very common practice to do all depreciations on the same day of the
month.

With such a field, usable for both purposes (usage start and/or
depreciation start) we can do this.

Thanks

Title:
  account asset - depreciation starts with usage

Status in OpenERP Addons (modules):
  Confirmed

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.
