Amortization type in financial information

There are two possible values to choose from in the amortization type field (linear, decreasing). This is a fixed choice and cannot be extended via the dropdown menu. Problem is that I at least encounter over here that it is also possible to book a purchased PC for example as "expenses", so you will not have any kind of depreciation. Any chance to add a kind of field, like "expensed". If someone could at least tell me which file to look in, I could probably fix that by myself, though I am not sure if others coudl make use of this as well, but I do not know, how other countries handle this on a financial point of view.

Re: Amortization type in financial information

I will try to get some more info on this, but generally it's quite easy. You purchase a PC and the full value will be booked as costs and will not be in the books as an asset with a certain depriation cycle. Means the PC is worth zero or let's say one Euro as soon as you have purchased it.
But as said I will try to get some more info on this from finance tomorrow and let you know. I would wonder though when Germany is the only country where you can handle it this way.
