Creating a Fixed Asset

You need to create a fixed asset as an object.

  1. Go to Financials > Fixed Assets > Fixed Asset Object.
  2. Click New + to create a new object.
    Important:
    Do not fill the field Object, it follows automatic Naming Conventions.
  3. In the tab General, you need to fill the field Object Group. An object group is a type of fixed asset, so make sure that it corresponds to the type of fixed asset you are creating.


  4. In the Pre-Posting tab, you need to:
    1. Check if the Account is correctly filled.
    2. Link the fixed asset to a Dept, a Project, a Prod Line and a Sub-Dept.


  5. In the Inventory tab, you need to define:
    1. The Site.
    2. The Object Physical Location.


  6. Click Save.
    The Object and the Description fields are automatically filled.
  7. In the header, click Investment.

    The Object status moves to Investment.
  8. In the tab Books:
    1. Check and adjust the information if necessary.
    2. Adjust the Estimated Life to match with the life duration/depreciation of the asset and fit with legal requirements in your country.
    Important:
    If you do not know the duration that you have to enter, contact your accountant responsible, or external accountant support, or Airmar accounting team, depending on your situation.
