Generating Asset Reports

To generate fixed asset reports:

1. Go to Fixed Assets > Reports > Generate Reports.

2. Provide values for the following fields:

   • Report Type — Select the type of report you want to generate.

     • Asset Register — This report lists cost, accumulated depreciation, and net book value for each asset between the periods selected.

       Note:

       For Fixed Assets Management version 4.01.2 and later, two types of depreciation history records (DHR) will be generated for disposals— a ‘Sale’ DHR for assets disposed by sale, and a ‘Disposal’ DHR for assets disposed by write-off. On the Asset Register saved search, columns for SALE and DISP will be added.

        

     • Asset Summary — This report lists cost or valuation, depreciation, and net book value totals for the selected asset types and specified period.

     • Depreciation Schedule Net Book Value — This report shows the current value of each asset for the period.

     • Depreciation Schedule Period Depreciation — This report shows the total depreciation of each asset for the period.

       Note:

       To view forecast amounts for depreciation, you can generate an asset depreciation schedule report for future periods.

        

     • Depreciation Monthly Report — Shows the depreciation expense for the period by asset, the asset records, and journal entries.

     • Asset Listing Report — Shows the total acquisition or production costs, additions, disposals, transfers, and write-ups for the fiscal year. This report is targeted for German accounts and subsidiaries, and available to users with Austria and Switzerland accounts.

     • Schedule 16 (1) - This report shows assets, leased assets, disposed and fully depreciated assets that use the Japan straight line depreciation method.

     • Schedule 16 (2) - This report shows assets, leased assets, disposed and fully depreciated assets that use the Japan 200% declining balance and Japan 250% declining balance depreciation method.

     • Schedule 16 (4) — This report includes all leased assets, disposed and fully depreciated assets that use the standard Straight Line depreciation method.

   • Show Components in Reports — Check this box if you want to view only the components on the report. Otherwise, clear this box to view only the parent compound asset on the report.

     Note:

     This option is available only when you are generating an Asset Register Report or Asset Listing Report.

      

   • Save Report as CSV — Check this box to save the generated report as a CSV file. When the setting is enabled, no XML or PDF output will be available.
