I assume what you are referring to is the fact that if your are using the indirect approach to complete a cash flow statement, you add back depreciation. This step makes it look like depreciation is generating cash flow for the company. The reason for adding depreciation is that when we are preparing our cash flow statement, we are reconciling net income to account for things that are not reflected or things that do not affect cash flows. If we simplify it, we can say that net income equals ( Sales - Expenses ). Depreciation is an expense that decreases our net income, but it is simply an accounting value to match expenses with revenues produced, and does not affect cash. So, since we deducted depreciation to get to net income we need to add it back when we do our cash flow statement to reconcile net income with our cash flow.

depreciation is a source of cash. because we charge depreciation in profit and loss but we added back in cash flow. remember one thing that capital expenditure= amount of depreciation
Depreciation Expense reduces net income and has no effect on cash flow.

Depreciation does not effect cash flow statement as depreciation is not a cash expense rather it is just a treatement to dispose off the value of asset according to useful life of asset and the cost of asset is already shown in cash flow statement when asset is purchased.
There is a definite link between depreciation and cash flow within the business world. As a non-cash expense, depreciation causes a reduction in cash flow that is reported by a company. This can be viewed on the companyâ??s net income statement.
It doesn't generate cash flows. It is added back on the Cash Flow Statement because the Cash Flow Statement begins with Net Income, from which depreciation is deducted.
