Account asset is the account that will be used by the invoice to book
the income of the asset.

Account depreciation is the account that will be credited by the
depreciation of the asset while the account expense will be debited.

Account revenue will be used to book possible revenue generated by the
sale of the asset (depending of the already depreciation booked and the
price of sale).
