Automatic Depreciation

I was kind of surprised that QB did not seem to handle automatic depreciation of assets, or allow you to enter some sort of schedule of depreciation.

The suggested solution, seems to be to use the Fixed Asset List to manually record your depreciated amount each year.  While this works, it seems a bit primitive, and it seems like it would be the perfect place to add some sort of method for entering, for example, a yearly percentage of depreciation, and have quickbooks automatically calculate the amounts, and make the entries for you.
