Fixed Assets Groups

In this box you register fixed assets groups for the equipment and such you then register as fixed assets in the fixed assets register.

A fixed assets group is used as a "template" with common settings for the fixed assets which you link to the fixed assets group.

For a fixed assets group you can configure calculated and/or scheduled depreciation, with depreciation period and depreciation percent. For calculated and scheduled depreciation you select different accounts. You can also choose that no depreciation should take place for fixed assets linked to the group.

Accounts and depreciation method are fixed settings in the group. Depreciation periods and depreciation percent will be used as default for the fixed assets linked to the group, but can be changed individually per object. If you change a setting in the group which can also be changed per object, for example depreciation period, then only the group's setting will change. The same setting for already existing fixed assets will not change.

Group

In this column you see/enter number or code for the fixed assets group with a maximum of 8 characters.

Name

Fixed assets type

You can link the fixed assets type to a fixed assets type, but this is optional. You register fixed assets types under the Fixed assets types tab. The fixed assets type is shown on fixed assets which are linked to a group where a fixed assets type is selected.

Prefix

A prefix with up to 3 characters can be entered and the system will then automatically add the prefix at the start of the number loaded from the number series.

This prefix is used for fixed assets belonging to the fixed assets group.
