Hi

The system can handle this for you automatically if you added the car as an asset under Anläggningstillgångar.
First activate that depreciations should be made monthly or annually.

Then under anläggningstillgångar you need o first of all enter the car as an asset. When it's registered the system will do your depreciations eithet monthly or annually depending of the choice made under the settings.

Hi

All you need to enter is these fields. marked with yellow.



When it comes to the account do a correction and transfer the amount from 1241 to 1240 by using Bokföring > Verifiktioner Ny verifikation.

1241 Kredit 100 000
1240 Debet 100 000

The most common depreciation is a period over 5 years, 60 months. Will the cars last that long, do you think? You have to guess a bit how long they will last and depreciate over that time.
