Fixed Assets Entry

Overview of FA10/FA10A

After acquiring a new fixed asset, you will record it in the Fixed Assets system. Asset records contain detailed information about the fixed asset: what type of asset it is, its life expectancy, how it will be depreciated, and various other critical details. All this information is retained on the Asset Info tab in the asset record.

There are two basic methods of establishing a new fixed asset: entering it from scratch or copying an existing fixed asset. Copying an existing fixed asset makes sense when it saves you time (if you have four of the same asset, for example). In this case you could add a suffix to the numbers of the duplicate assets to differentiate them.

• From the DDI Connect main menu, double-click Fixed Assets
• Double-click Fixed Assets Entry. You will see a screen similar to this one:
