The "Assets" module allows you to keep track of your fixed assets like machinery, land and building. The module allows you to generate monthly depreciation entries automatically, get depreciation board, sell or dispose assets and perform reports on your company assets.

As an example, you may buy a car for $36,000 (gross value) and you plan to amortize it over 36 months (3 years). Every months (periodicity), Odoo will create a depreciation entry automatically reducing your assets value by $1,000 and passing $1,000 as an expense. After 3 years, this assets accounts for $0 (salvage value) in your balance sheet.

The different types of assets are grouped into "Assets Types" that describe how to deprecate an asset. Here are two examples of assets types:

  • Барилга: 10 жил, жил бүр шугаман элэгдүүлэлт
  • Машин: 5 жил, сар бүр шулуун шугамын аргаар

Defining Asset Types

To define asset types, go to Configuration ‣ Asset Types

Create assets automatically from a supplier bill

Assets can be automatically created from supplier bills. All you need to do is to set an asset category on your bill line. When the user will validate the bill, an asset will be automatically created, using the information of the supplier bill.

Depending on the information on the asset category, the asset will be created in draft or directly validated . It's easier to confirm assets directly so that you won't forget to confirm it afterwards. (check the field Skip Draft State on Asset Category) Generate assets in draft only when you want your adviser to control all the assets before posting them to your accounts.

How to deprecate an asset?
