This module enables the ability to override default accounts directly from the asset form.
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 19.0Lets you override the default asset, depreciation and depreciation expense accounts directly on the asset form, instead of always using the accounts defined in the asset profile.
This module adds three account fields to the asset form so accountants can choose which accounts are used for an asset, even when the asset profile already defines defaults.
- Asset Account: normally taken from the vendor bill line when the asset comes from a purchase invoice, otherwise from the asset profile. It is shown on the form but calculated automatically.
- Depreciation Account and Depreciation Expense Account: required fields that you can change on the asset form. They are filled in from the asset profile when you pick a profile on a draft asset, and they become read-only once the asset is open, closed or removed.
When depreciation entries are generated, the module makes the depreciation line use the asset's Depreciation Account and the expense line use the asset's Depreciation Expense Account, so the accounts you set on the asset are the ones actually posted.
It also adjusts the behaviour when selecting an asset profile on an invoice line: if the line already uses a fixed asset account, the standard profile change is skipped so your chosen account is not overwritten.
The fields appear on the asset form (account.asset) and affect the asset lines (account.asset.line) and invoice lines (account.move.line).
