Just my thoughts of it.
- in vers. 5.x generic asset module was unusable in real life.
- People did a great job for making it usable. https://code.launchpad.net/~grzegorz-og.pl/openobject-addons/extra-5.0_account_asset
- then generic, unusable proof of concept account_asset version in ver.6.0.0,
- then 6.1 account_asset version, close to usable but still missing some essential extra-5.0_account_asset features 
- then 6.0.x backport version https://code.launchpad.net/~ovnicraft/openobject-addons/account_asset_backport-6.0
- then 6.0.x extra-5.0_account_asset forked version https://code.launchpad.net/~bstanciu/openobject-addons/account-fixed-assets

What we have now- in short it can be called mess.

This bug is substantial missing feature for using account_asset in other
countries.

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.
