Fixed asset reports

Fixed assets → Asset reports has three tabs. Anyone with access to fixed assets can open them. They only read; nothing here posts.

A forecast of each asset’s depreciation for the months ahead.

The Depreciation schedule

Choose how many Months to show: 12, 24, 36 or 60. Each row is an asset by number, with its charge in each month, and a Total row at the bottom. Use it to budget the depreciation expense.

How cost and accumulated depreciation moved between two dates, class by class.

The Roll-forward

Pick From and To; it starts at the beginning of this year and ends today. The columns are:

Column What it shows
Cost b/f Cost at the start
Additions Cost added in the range
Disposals Cost of assets disposed of in the range
Cost c/f Cost at the end
Depreciation b/f Accumulated depreciation at the start
Brought in Accumulated depreciation that came in with assets added in the range
Charge Depreciation charged in the range
On disposals Accumulated depreciation cleared by disposals
Depreciation c/f Accumulated depreciation at the end

A Total row adds up every class. Your accountant can use this for the fixed asset note in the financial statements; they must confirm the figures.

A check that the register agrees with the ledger.

Register vs ledger

For each class account it shows the Account, what it Holds (Cost or Accumulated depreciation), the Register amount, the Ledger balance and the Difference.

  • “The register agrees with the ledger.” means every difference is zero.
  • “The register and the ledger differ. Register every posted cost, and check for reversed sources.” means something is out. The usual causes are a purchase posted to a class’s cost account but not yet registered, or a posted cost that was reversed after it was registered. Ask finance to look into it.
