1What the figures are #
- Assets in the books - every asset not written off. Written-off assets are left out of all the figures.
- Cost - the purchase cost, or the value an asset was last revalued at.
- Depreciation so far - everything charged by posted runs, with any opening difference.
- Book value - cost less depreciation so far.
- Depreciation this year - posted in the financial year shown at the top.
- This branch is charged up to - the last run of the branch you are signed in to. It turns amber until the end of last month is posted.
- Cover ending or lapsed and Maintenance due - the items Asset Maintenance and AMC reminds about (those with a reminder set).
- Capital work in progress - the cost tagged to projects not yet capitalised.
2Toolbar & keyboard #
- Refresh (F3) reads everything again. The page does not refresh by itself. Esc closes it.
3If something does not work #
Fixed Assets Dashboard is not on the menu / "You do not hold the right to open the Fixed Assets Dashboard ..."
- Why
- The dashboard has a right of its own, among the user preferences: User Can View Fixed Assets Dashboard. Without it the menu does not show the dashboard and the page shows no figure. Administrators always hold it.
- What to do
- An administrator ticks User Can View Fixed Assets Dashboard in User Manager > Preferences. Sign in again to see the menu item.
A tile shows "?" with a message under it
- Why
- That one figure could not be read - most often because the part of Fixed Assets it belongs to has not been set up in this company. The other tiles stand.
- What to do
- Read the message under the tile; an administrator runs the script of that part (transfer and disposal, maintenance, tagging, work-flow).
"This branch is charged up to" is amber although depreciation was posted
- Why
- It looks at the branch you are signed in to, and wants it charged up to the end of last month.
- What to do
- Post the run up to the last month end on Depreciation Run - or sign in to the branch you mean.
The cover and maintenance counts differ from the Due tab of Asset Maintenance and AMC
- Why
- The dashboard counts what the program reminds about - items with a reminder set. The Due tab also lists items without one.
- What to do
- Give the contract or plan a reminder if it should be counted.
A written-off asset is missing from the figures
- Why
- Only assets still in the books are counted.
- What to do
- See Fixed Assets Disposals for the assets written off.
The figures are not those of another branch
- Why
- The dashboard shows the branches you may see, whatever report option you signed in with.
- What to do
- Ask an administrator for the branch in User Manager.
This is the help InvoiceNET® ERP shows beside the Fixed Assets Dashboard screen. Whether you have the screen depends on the modules of your licence and the rights your administrator has given you.
