How fixed asset module can be used for job costing

I was able to test in a test account, where I generated depreciation journal entries (based on usage)!

I have initially created an asset with a depreciation method of Asset Usage

I then created an Asset Usage record, with 10 units used:

I then went to Fixed Assets > Transactions > Asset Depreciation. It then created a Depreciation Journal Entry.

I edited the Depreciation Journal Entry and added the project name in the Depreciation Expense line:

As per SuiteAnswers Id: 61923 Setting up Asset Usage Depreciation Method

The asset depreciation is based on the following formula: (Total cost – Salvage value) /Asset Life Time Usage * Units entered in Units Used column of the Asset Usage sub tab.

So in this scenario (10,000-1,000) = 9,000/200 = 45 * 10

I updated the Project record via Recalculate Financial Plan/Project Plan:

The cost was reflected in the Actual Cost. This is because when checking the Project Profitability set up it is an uncategorized expense

and the account type is an expense
