Depreciation Periods are used in the depreciation calculation of Assets and can be included within the Asset Type that is added to the Asset when it is created.  Asset Types are further detailed in the Asset Types section.

Where the Depreciation Period is not included in the Asset Type, it can be added when creating an Asset as detailed in the Creating Assets section or when amending an Asset as detailed in the Amending Assets section.
