Oracle asset tracking - taking depreciation hit while asset is lying in inventory.

I am not sure whether this is right forum for oracle asset tracking...

We are thinking of implementing oracle asset tracking and require some points to be cleared.

1. with OAT is it possible to depreciate the asset while it is still lying in inventory?

2. what triggers the transfer of assets lying in inventory.

the scenario is like this.

1. the purchase of 100 laptops based on the forecast and planning will happen.

2. as and when needed 5 laptops need to be transfered to fixed assets.

3. will the transfering (deploying) the 5 laptops does the mass addition table is populated with the depreciation of five months if the asset was lying in inventory for 5 months un used?
