Understanding the LodgeiT Depreciation Tools
Note that LodgeiT depreciation is primarily developed to solve for tax depreciation calculations. Depreciation calculated by LodgeiT is auto-injected into the tax forms.
If you want to include that depreciation in the financial statements, you'll need to do so via journal entry.
