Since you depreciate an asset class, you could create a class that you
never depreciate. This is a good piece of feedback though and it would be
fairly easy to implement. I will file a feature request on that.

I think you would probably start with the Net Book Value report and then
create any off-setting gl entries you need to do but that's a rough guess
and it might be a good thing to discuss requirements in greater detail.

Mobile security can be enabling, not merely restricting. Employees who
bring their own devices (BYOD) to work are irked by the imposition of MDM
restrictions. Mobile Device Manager Plus allows you to control only the
apps on BYO-devices by containerizing them, leaving personal data untouched!
