Adding Depreciation Information
Depreciation is a set of methods for computing the devaluation of your asset over time. For example, the
depreciation of a system that is expected to have a useful life of 5 years would be 20 percent. Use the
omconfig system assetinfo=depreciation command to add details about how your system's depreciation
is to be computed. Table 5-2 shows the valid parameters for the command.
Example Commands for Adding Depreciation Information
To provide a value for a depreciation parameter, type a command of the form: omconfig system assetinfo
info=depreciation <name=value pair 2> . For example, type:
omconfig system assetinfo info=depreciation method=straightline
The following message appears:
Asset information set successfully.
You can enter more than one omconfig system assetinfo command at the same time, as long as all of the
parameters for name=value pair 2 belong to the same name=value pair 1. For an example, see "Example
Commands for Adding Acquisition Information."
