Fixed Assets Module Features: |
|
Easy to Use—Fixed Asset Accounting provides asset templates to help ensure that new assets can be created both quickly and
accurately. Assets can also be created by copying an existing asset. This facility is very important for system usability. |
|
Transfers nd Disposals—With Fixed Asset Accounting, you can execute partial and whole asset transfers and disposals individually to userdefined
depreciation schedules. For bulk disposals, the system also automatically calculates gain/loss on individual assets. |
|
Group Manager—Group Manager lets you define groups of assets as you go. Definitions can be based on any characteristic including
type, location, custodian and acquisition date. Depreciation, reporting, location change and disposal require only a
few keystrokes to implement. |
|
Asset Templates—Templates provide an easy way to create a new asset. When an asset is added, the selected template automatically fills
out the asset information, reducing errors and improving efficiency. An unlimited number of assets can be created. |
|
Asset Views—Asset Detail View allows you to view all details of a single asset from all seven books on a single screen. In Asset
Group View, you can work with and view multiple templates simultaneously. |
|
Asset Images—Pictures of an asset, purchase order, maintenance agreement, warranty, invoice and other documentation can be scanned
into the file and viewed on screen at any time, providing a complete and readily accessible record of all asset data. |
|
Asset Navigation
and History—In addition to the system’s powerful query capabilities, Fixed Asset Accounting provides instant switching between
Main and Disposal functions, a complete audit trail of the major events in an asset’s life, and the facility for
attaching notes to record important details. |
|
Extended Fields—Description fields can be up to 80 characters in length, and extended user fields can accommodate up to 25
characters, affording optimal space for easy and complete asset definition. Up to 100 characters can be entered
for general ledger account numbers. |
|
Automatic Calculations—Fixed Asset Accounting automatically creates AMT and ACE schedules using your choice of more than 20
methods of depreciation including MACRS 150% and 200%, ACRS, Straight Line, Modified Straight Line, Declining
Balance and Sum-of-the-Years Digits. Other automatic calculations available range from Full Month Convention,
Mid Quarter Convention and Half Year Convention to Section 179, ITC, Gain/Loss, Salvage Value and Tax
Preference Amounts. The system also provides the flexibility to create customized methods in each company. |
|
Part of MAS 90,
MAS 200 and MAS 500—FAS Asset Accounting integrates with the MAS 90 and MAS 200 General Ledger for comprehensive accounting
management performance. And, for even more integration, assets can be added automatically when purchased or
received, if used in conjunction with MAS 500 Accounts Payable and Purchase Order modules. The assets
automatically transfer from the purchasing system into Fixed Asset Accounting using an asset template based on
the purchased item type. After transfer, Fixed Asset Accounting can customize the asset information, if necessary. |
|
Custom Report Writer—More than 20 standard reports are available, each allowing user-defined sort and range criteria on all fields. You
can also create custom reports with built-in report helpers, produce custom consolidated reports that let you
“roll up” data without changing the underlying database and specify totals-only reporting for standard reports. |
|
Extra Security—Fixed Asset Accounting can assure complete security at user, user-defined menu, system and company levels,
protecting important or proprietary data from unauthorized access or manipulation. This security feature also
includes fully controlled access to user-definable SmartLists for fewer data entry errors. |
|
Online Help—Instant context-sensitive online Help is always available. Furthermore, customizable Help for online corporate
guidelines can be added easily. |
|
Technical Support
and Updates—A SupportPlus membership provides access to toll-free phone assistance, automatic free system enhancements
and updates, automatic tax law updates, 24-hour access to SupportPlus Online and a wide array of other
privileges and value-added benefits. |
