Fixed period depreciation

Hi Mark - if I understand it correctly I can reord a purchase as an asset and then include the depreciation of it as an expense - presumably as a recurring transaction. If that is so, is there any way to create a recurring transaction with a defined end date - it would be a bit of a nightmare trying to track end dates on lots of items with different depreciation schedules without this.

Many thanks for your help.

Hi Peter,

Sorry no, you cannot create recurring transactions with a defined end period. The simplest solution is to create a General Transaction once a year to record depreciation as described here:
