I realized that you already posted this same request under a topic in ideas 14 days ago Recurring and automatic depreciation - #16 by ibadlon I’m sure you are aware that this is against the forum rules at FAQ - Manager Forum more specically:
Don’t cross-post the same question or comment in multiple topics.
Your arguments in several posts there and here are related to the absence of Straight Line depreciation automation (you also had difficulty using the clone function).
I got sidetracked by your posting about already recording expenses that will realize in the future. You explain that doing this is a coping mechanism to have fewer entries to do and therefore found acceptable for the several businesses the accounting firm serves, despite being questionable accounting practice.
