Assets - Compute Depre. in Batch

This module adds a new "Compute Asset Batch" screen under the Assets menu. Instead of computing asset depreciation one asset at a time, you create a batch record that groups the run.

On the batch you set a name, a description, a date (all depreciation lines before that date are computed), and the asset profiles to include; if you leave profiles empty, all profiles are used. A Compute button runs the calculation and the status moves from Draft to Computed, or to Exception if errors occur, in which case the error text is shown on an Exception tab.

Each batch shows a "Depreciation By Profile" report with the amount per asset profile and a total depreciation amount. Two buttons open the related Journal Entries and the depreciation journal items.

When you use the standard asset compute wizard, you can tick "Create Batch" to track the run, give it a name and description, choose profiles, and optionally delay the computation. You can also delay posting: the created journal entries are set to post automatically at a later date instead of being posted immediately.

A daily scheduled job automatically computes draft batches that have auto-compute enabled and a date up to today. Only draft batches can be deleted, batch names must be unique, and batches are filtered by company.
