Fixed Assets Capabilities with Microsoft Business Central.
Fixed Assets.
Track fixed assets such as buildings, machinery, and equipment. Post fixed-asset transactions such as acquisitions, depreciation, write-downs, appreciation, and disposal. Assign one or more depreciation books to define different one of the 8 methods and conditions for calculating depreciation. Use depreciation books to meet managerial, internal accounting, and legal reporting requirements. Register maintenance costs, insurance coverage, and cost allocations for assets.
Fixed Assets Allocation.
Synchronize data when two or more companies are using the same master data, for example, when setting up new subsidiary companies. Minimize manual data entry for each company. Master data includes settings and non-transactional information about business entities such as customers, vendors, items, and employees. The data provides context for business transactions. Use unidirectional synchronization to pull data from the source company to the subsidiary companies within the same Business Central environment. Job queue entries update coupled records in the subsidiaries when someone changes data in the source company.
Fixed Assets Insurance.
Set up an insurance policy to cover one or more fixed assets. Assign one fixed asset to one insurance policy, or multiple fixed assets to one insurance policy. Use dedicated reports and statistics pages for analyzing insurance policies and whether your fixed assets are over- or under-insured.
Fixed Assets Maintenance.
Record maintenance and service expenses for fixed assets. Get detailed information to analyze and make decisions about fixed asset renewal and disposal.
Revalue Fixed Assets.
Revaluation of fixed assets can consist of appreciations, write-downs, or general value adjustments. Post a journal line with appreciation to the depreciation book, when the value of a fixed asset increases. The new amount is recorded as appreciation according to the fixed asset posting setup. Post a journal line with a lower amount, a write-down, to the depreciation book, when the value of a fixed asset decreases. The new amount is recorded as a write-down according to the fixed asset posting setup. Indexation is used to adjust multiple fixed asset values, for example per general price changes.
Split or Combine Fixed Assets.
You can split one fixed asset into multiple fixed assets. For example, when you need to distribute a fixed asset across three departments. You can also combine multiple fixed assets into one fixed asset, for example when you move distributed fixed assets into one department.
