Running Depreciation for All Assets at Once

Monthly (or Yearly) Batch Run

Instead of opening every asset individually each period, use the batch compute action: it goes through every Running asset and posts whichever depreciation lines are due as of the run date, in one action.

Recommended Routine

1. Run the batch depreciation as part of your monthly close, before finalising the Profit and Loss for the period.
2. Review the generated journal entries before/after posting, same as any other recurring accounting entry.
3. Reconcile the asset register (see next article) against the Balance Sheet's Fixed Assets line each period.

Forgetting to run this regularly is the most common Fixed Assets mistake — it doesn't break anything immediately, but expenses understate and asset book values overstate until you catch up, and catching up several months at once produces one unusually large depreciation expense that's confusing to explain later.
