  Depreciation type is a feature in SAP Business One (SBO) that allows users to calculate the depreciation of an asset over a period of time. It is used to determine the amount of depreciation that should be charged for an asset in a given period. The depreciation type can be set up to calculate the depreciation based on either straight-line or declining balance methods. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To set up a depreciation type in SBO, go to the Asset Management module and select “Depreciation Types” from the menu. From there, you can create a new type by entering the name, description, and method of calculation. Once you have saved the type, you can assign it to an asset in the Asset Master Data window. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up a depreciation type, make sure to select the correct method of calculation for your asset. The straight-line method is best for assets with a long lifespan, while the declining balance method is better for assets with a shorter lifespan.
