Adding depreciation information
Depreciation is a set of methods for computing the devaluation of the asset over time. For example, the depreciation of a system
that is expected to have a useful life of 5 years is 20 percent. Use the omconfig system assetinfo info=depreciation or omconfig
servermodule assetinfo info=depreciation command to add details about how the system's depreciation is computed. The following
table shows the valid parameters for the command.

Example command 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> or omconfig servermodule assetinfo info=depreciation <name=value pair 2>. For example, type:
omconfig system assetinfo info=depreciation method=straightline
or
omconfig servermodule assetinfo info=depreciation method=straightline
The following message is displayed:
Asset information set successfully.
You can type more than one omconfig system assetinfo or omconfig servermodule assetinfo command at the same time, as long as
all 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.
Adding extended warranty information
Use the omconfig system extwarranty or omconfig servermodule extwarranty command to assign values for extended warranty
information. A warranty is a contract between the manufacturer or dealer and the purchaser of a system. The warranty identifies
the components that are covered for repair or replacement for a specified length of time or usage. The extended warranty comes
into force after the original warranty expires. For details on how to edit warranty values, see Adding Warranty Information.
