Hi all,
I am trying to modify the depreciation method and the respective duration for all assets, but the calculations are not updated on the depreciation board when I switch from Straight Line to Declining method.
Has anyone else encountered this issue and found a solution?
P.s. The version on which I am operating is V16

The results you observed are actually correct and align with expected behavior.
After an audit of the calculation logic in prior versions, we concluded the way we were computing the schedule in Odoo 15.0 and prior versions was incorrect.
Odoo adheres to IFRS accounting standards, which require depreciation methods to reflect how an asset’s future economic benefits are consumed. For assets without a residual value, the declining method alone may not fully depreciate the asset to zero. To address this, Odoo compares the declining and straight-line depreciation schedules and switches to the straight-line method when it results in a higher depreciation expense. This ensures the asset is fully depreciated over its useful life.
This approach is consistent with other accounting frameworks as well. For example, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) mandates switching to the straight-line method when it produces equal or higher depreciation compared to the declining method.
In summary, Odoo's implementation of the declining depreciation method incorporates this comparison for compliance with accounting standards. This feature was introduced in Odoo 16.0 and continues in Odoo 17.0 and 18.0.

No you're totally wrong the answer is not Correct. if asset is depreciated for 5 years on 20% declining method after 5 years some of it's value still remains and we keep it as salvage or book value. but odoo make it zero so how the results are Accurate ?
Odoo expects a 20% declining method to be configured with a 40% factor (as is the industry standard, "declining balance" implies doubling the straight-line rate) and if you add the salvage value - at the end of year 5 you will have depreciated to that value.
