A finance manager reviews fixed asset records and office equipment

Fixed Assets & Depreciation

Maintain fixed-asset records and depreciation plans, calculate period depreciation with the selected method, then post reviewed entries through vouchers.

Product Details

See what this module handles, how to review it and how its results reach the ledgers.

Keep the key details for each fixed asset

Record the category, original cost, residual value, depreciation start date, useful life, department and plan for each fixed asset. Link invoice documents to an asset so the source can be reviewed with the record.

Choose from three depreciation methods

Use the method selected for the business: straight-line, double-declining balance or sum-of-the-years'-digits. Review the plan and calculated depreciation by period.

Review the period result before posting entries

Check the asset details, period and amount before recording the accounting entry through vouchers. Posting the voucher updates the ledgers with the depreciation amount.

Record asset changes and disposals with the asset

Record changes to the assigned department, depreciation plan or asset disposal against the actual asset. Accounting depreciation and tax treatment are maintained separately; one result does not replace the other.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which depreciation methods are supported?

Straight-line, double-declining balance and sum-of-the-years'-digits methods are available for the business to select.

How does depreciation reach the ledgers?

Review the period result, record the related entries through vouchers and post them to update the ledgers.

What details are kept on an asset record?

Record the asset category, original cost, residual value, depreciation start, useful life, department and depreciation plan for period review.

Can I link an invoice to a fixed asset?

Yes. Link invoice records to the asset card. If one invoice covers several assets, create a link for each asset based on the actual purchase.

Are entries posted as soon as depreciation is calculated?

Review the asset, period and amount first, then record the entry through vouchers. Posting the voucher updates the related ledgers.

Does asset disposal automatically change tax depreciation?

Record the actual asset change or disposal. Accounting depreciation and tax treatment are maintained separately and do not automatically replace one another.
