Asset Register | |
)
|
Different asset registers may be established to meet your specific needs in relation to different physical and logical sites.
Multiple locations, cost centres and item types may be created in each different site. Up to five different value bases can be maintained in parallel to reflect asset values for book, tax, going concern, etc.. These bases may be named according to your preference. The actual accounting period (year) may be broken down into a series of reporting periods which can then be used to show depreciated asset values for those reporting periods.
 |
Menus | |
)
|
All ValueMan/ASSET functions are accessed by menu selection from a set of four primary menus and additional menus for some reporting functions. |

|
Additional space is reserved for future expansion. |

|
Cost Centres | |
)
|
Cost Centres can be defined as required and assets assigned to them.
You can readily re-assign assets from one Cost Centre to another.
|
Item Types | |
)
|
Item (or Commodity) Types are defined with several alternate descriptions to enable a simple cross-referencing of terminology.
Item Types, Cost Centres and Locations can all be searched by both Code and Title.
|
Locations | |
)
|
Totals are accumulated progressively for each Item Type, Cost Centre and Location.
And, of course, totals by Site are accessible on screen as well.
|
Asset Catalogue | |
)
|
Individual assets are recorded and stored with the appropriate amount of detail for each. If additional category definitions and references are needed, they can be entered. Only as much detail as is required need be entered.
The current status of an asset is displayed on this screen together with its latest values re the current reporting period. |
)
|
Additional lines of description (up to fifty) may be entered, as desired, to fully describe items requiring greater detail.
|
Asset Status | |
)
|
Live assets are recorded with an original cost, acquisition date, opening depreciation amount, and depreciation type and rate.
When assets are disposed of, the closing value, disposition date and description are permanently recorded. For auditing purposes a responsible authority must be specified when altering the status of an asset. To preserve audit trail veracity, every acquisition must be balanced by a disposition transaction. For example, if an acquisition is raised in error, it must be corrected by raising an explanatory disposition. It is not permissible to just re-enter or cancel the incorrectly entered acquisition detail.
|
Depreciate/Revalue | |
)
|
Depreciation is calculated according to the reporting period nominated. For example, if monthly reporting was specified then one twelfth (1/12) of the annual rate would be calculated for each reporting period.
Reports such as Asset Movements and Tax Depreciation schedules can be produced for any range of reporting periods within the accounting year. Revaluation is also supported should a reappraisal of your assets be warranted.
|
Year End Roll Over | |
)
|
At year end the Roll Over function is activated for the usual "housekeeping" jobs prior to starting the new accounting year.
|
Report | |
)
|
Report screens usually include a choice of formatting and period range options. Some of these may be preset while others should be specifically set for each print run.
Reports are compiled into files on disk before printing so it is possible to edit them for higher quality presentation, if desired. |
)
| |
)
|
|
Audit Trail | |
)
|
Audit Trail reporting can be used in "edit list" mode to prove that keypunching has been performed as expected.
|
Housekeeping | |
)
|
Various software and database parameters are user-definable to enable configuration to your preference.
