Hello All,

One more thing we need to take into consideration is

-  If you set Purchase Date as start of the depreciation then it calculates depreciation correctly but with wrong dates.
- Dates of the period for depreciation should be Period End date from the Financial Configuration and not the one which starts with Purchase date.

Thanks,

Siddique

Title:
  account asset - depreciation starts with usage

Status in OpenERP Addons (modules):
  Confirmed

Bug description:

  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.
