Set up a depreciation schedule

 

You can set up the depreciation of an asset template after the general information has been completed, and you have clicked the Save or Finish Editing button. This is optional in a template.

Depreciation schedule columns are predefined. Columns are populated based on the depreciation calculation. Below is a sample depreciation schedule.
