Asset creation from supplier invoice

[Houssine]

Hi There,

you can reproduce it with the latest source on a emply db. Install the accouning module and the Asset management module.

Hi try to create assets from a supplier invoice.

Creating one asset by selecting the asset category works well for one asset.

As soon as you want to created let take for example 10 laptops, it will create you 1 asset with the total amount of the line which is wrong. It should create the number of product units with the unit price of the product as amount of each created asset.

Thanks for your help,

FOR INFO,

the response from support with which I don't agree as it doens't allow you if needed to easily remove an asset from your inventory.

Hello Houssine,

I have discussed this issue with our expert and we came to conclusion that creating number of asset as number of quantity in supplier invoice in unusual and not manageable in large companies where one purchases assets in bulk.

Say for example if some company has 1000 employees and want to purchase laptop for those employees so according to your argument we need to create 1000 asset entries which very unusual and not manageable, you will have 1000 asset entries you to manage each and every entry of asset, calculate depreciation of each 1000 asset manually etc. is more tough process then creating your asset entries separately if you need it.

So we recommend you to create separate assets if you really need to manage then separately, no doubt asset module needs many improvements and in version 8 we gonna do lots of changes in many modules, so you can suggest your suggestion at feedback.openerp.com, or convert your bug for trunk version our expert will go through your suggestion and they may add in future version if it is really a good improvement.

For now it is considered as a feature and we can provide you a patch based on support hours for you only, we will not fix this for stable version.

Awaiting a response from you.
