0007051: Amortization / Depreciation - wrong terminology used

DescriptionThe term amortization is used interchangeably with depreciation when they are slightly different things.

Richard M is the expert on this so please address any questions to him.

Steps To ReproduceAccess Financial Management > Assets > Amortization.

The functionality available here in fact relates to depreciation.
Proposed SolutionThis is the correct definition of terms:

Amortization relates to the write down of financial instruments and other non-physical or intangible assets (like loans or investments).
Depreciation is used to write down the value of physical assets (like cars and buildings). Fixed assets are normally depreciated.
Current assets are not normally depreciated (as it is assumed that they are not held for long enough for their value to erode), however they can be "written down", perhaps after a stock count where you find something is either missing or damaged.
