@lubos

Good day,

Is it possible to add a recurring transaction for the amortization and depreciation?

This will help us not forget the transaction. and to make it semi-automated.

Thank you.

It’s still an idea since 2022.

Yes, the idea list is long. The number will come in time.

How often do users post depreciation entries ?

I do it once a year as part of closing off the accounts.  
I take previous year’s transaction, clone it and make adjustments as required.

Not convinced that having a recurrent transaction would make that any simpler

I think it’s different here.

I am using the application for the Investment Funds, we do the valuation and financials twice a year. So, the auditor requests that depreciation and amortization be calculated monthly to determine the NAV for investors.

this why we are looking for this function.

Kind regards,

I too prefer to do it this way, however, when I am dealing with Management of clients especially when they have investors, it never that easy.

In their minds, daily closing and aggressive accruals is better information – they think.

But all philosophical arguments aside, the fact remains that a sizeable proportion of businesses prefer interim depreciation and I believe that Manager should be able to cater for those.

What makes this issue more pressing is that recurring straight line depreciation used to be possible using `Recurring Journal Entries` but now it isn’t.

this is how we deal with depreciation, and this is repeated in all our Funds.
