Sage ERP X3 for Fixed Assets

Posted by John Shepperson | Oct 8, 2014 2:00:00 PM

If your fixed assets aren’t recorded, monitored, and disposed of properly, fixed asset accounting can be an inefficient process. Not keeping track of serial numbers and warranty information on those fixed assets can cause many problems when it’s time to do the books.

Fixed Asset Accounting Can Be Easier

Posted by John Shepperson | May 11, 2014 2:00:00 PM

Fixed asset accounting can be one of the more difficult items to figure out in the accounting world. It deals with not only the value of a product, but also with the value of that product’s services as well. A fixed asset is any business asset that exists solely for the use of commercial production. For example, if you run a floor cleaning business, a cleaner that you lend out to customers to use at home would be known as a fixed asset.

While that may sound a bit confusing at first, it doesn’t have to be. The proper software can crunch all the numbers and give you all of the data you need with little effort from you.

Fixed asset accounting deals with recording, tracking, and disposing of fixed assets such as buildings, real estate, vehicles, and equipment that represent the ‘big-ticket” items bought or acquired by an enterprise. In a very large company, a dedicated fixed asset accountant is on staff, while in smaller companies, the regular accountants/bookkeepers might have the fixed asset responsibilities incorporated into their job description.
