+Asset Management
+================
+ *Financial and accounting asset management. To manage the assets owned by a company or an individual and to keep track of depreciation occurred on those assets. Also allows to create accounting moves of the depreciation lines.*
+
+You can manage your assets and accounting related to those assets using account_asset module.
+The configuration wizard to install this module is shown below:

+
+   *Configuration wizard to install account_asset module*
+
+Using the menu *Accounting ‣ Assets ‣ Assets,* you can store all information related to your assets like how much depreciation can be occurred, depreciation amount based on selected depreciation method, date on which the asset is purchased, purchase value of the asset, supplier of the asset etc.
+
+You can also see different states of assets.
+If the asset is confirmed then the depreciation lines can be posted in the accounting.
+An asset can be closed manually when depreciation is over or it will be closed automatically when the last depreciation line is posted.
+
+You can also see asset hierarchy by using menu *Accounting ‣ Assets ‣ Asset Hierarchy*.
+
+The statistical report for assets can be seen using the menu *Accounting ‣ Reporting ‣ Statistic Reports ‣ Assets Analysis*.
+
+Define asset categories
+-----------------------
+
+You can create asset categories by using the form view opens after the configuration wizard.
+You can see it as below:

+ - *Asset Account* : This account will be credited when depreciation line is posted.
+ - *Depreciation Account* : Account, same as Asset Account or it can be different for storing depreciation separately.
+ - *Depr.
+   Expense Account* : Account which will be debited when depreciation line is posted.
+ - *Time Method* : Either ``Number of Depreciations`` or ``Ending Date``.
+ - *Number of Depreciations* : If time method is ``Number of Depreciations`` you must specify a number of depreciation lines.
+ - *Ending Date* : If time method is ``Ending Date`` then you must specify the ending date and the depreciation date won't go beyond this date.
+ - *Period Length* : Time duration between two depreciations, in months.
+ - *Computation Method* : Either ``Linear`` or ``Degressive``.
