Assets Acquired and Disposed Report

Overview

The Assets Acquired Report is helpful for budgeting purposes. Use this to keep track of how much you spend on Fixed Assets in a given period (monthly or quarterly,) and compare this to the amount you have budgeted. Use the Assets Acquired and Disposed report to print the acquired and disposed fixed assets for a specified date range. You can include either depreciable or non-depreciable assets in the report. You may elect to print a summary or detail report, and select from various report criteria options.

You can include either depreciable or non-depreciable assets by selecting the appropriate check box in the upper-right area of the report setup window. However, you cannot include both depreciable and non-depreciable assets in a single report.

When you run the report for depreciable assets, the Tier Parameter is determined by the Primary Depreciation Job.

When you run the report for non-depreciable assets, the Tier Parameter is determined by the Job to which the asset is currently assigned.

The Assets Acquired Report is helpful for General Ledger Account reconciliation purposes. For a selected date range, Group By Category the Fixed Assets you want to include. This report then enables you to tie out acquired Fixed Assets to the appropriate Fixed Asset account (Balance Sheet – Asset account) in the General Ledger.

The Assets Disposed Report is helpful for General Ledger Account reconciliation purposes. If you run this report by selecting Group By Category, this report enables you to tie out the appropriate Fixed Assets accounts (Balance Sheet – Asset accounts) and Accumulated Depreciation accounts (Balance Sheet – Asset accounts) in the General Ledger. You may also tie out any gains/losses on the Fixed Assets disposed to the Gain/Loss Disposal of Fixed Assets account (Income Statement – Expense account) in the General Ledger.

The Assets Acquired and Assets Disposed Reports may be helpful reports for your tax accountant to use on a quarterly or year-end basis. You may sort the report by Asset ID # or Description. You may filter the report by assets acquired or disposed, depreciable or non-depreciable, asset ID #'s, Job numbers, or dates.

The Summary report contains the Asset ID #, Description, Type, Serial Number, Cost of the Asset.

The Detail Report contains all items in the summary report plus the Method, Primary Job #, any Job allocation distribution (with percentage), Parent Asset ID (if applicable), date acquired, date effective and expected life. The report also includes the Current Job the Asset is assigned to.

You can filter, group, and print by Tiers, allowing for total customization of the report. To make filtering easier, for any Tier, you can include All, Pick/Create or Exclude parameters. Using Tier Templates to set up and save report templates makes it easy to generate a specific report each time you need it, without having to recreate the criteria. See Using Tier Templates for more information.

Key Functionality

If the Group by Parent ID check box is selected AND the Group By selection is Asset ID, the report will group by Parent ID first, and then group by Asset ID.
