   Hi team, we’ve seen a lot of support for this idea, and acknowledge why you’d like a simple way of reflecting if part of a fixed asset is used privately.

   As Xero doesn’t currently offer a built-in way to allocate depreciation between business and private use I wanted to re-highlight from our last update how this can be recorded -

   Currently you could post manual journals to record the private use apportionment of a Fixed Assets depreciation.

   If you're using Fixed Assets in NZ it's possible to set up an asset and apportion a % for private use. However, it's important to note that it's not possible to apportion the private use depreciation of an asset prior to using Xero. In this case when you sell the asset a manual journal may be needed to correctly state the private use.

   At this time, we want to be upfront that our product team doesn't currently have plans to build this functionality.

   We’ll continue to track interest here, and revisit if priorities shift.

   Have been adding in a few conversion balances and fixed assets, and discovered that you can't add private use depreciation amount. Our business practice is to leave a note on the transaction, and even if the private use is correct going forward, it doesn't show historically on reporting as private use.
   Would be nice for reporting purposes to include this as separated from the normal accumulated depreciation business use.
