Maintain fixed assets

[アーティクル]

Maintenance costs are operating expenses for the things you do to preserve the condition of your fixed assets. Unlike capital improvements, maintenance doesn't increase the value of your assets.

Each time you send a fixed asset for service, you record information such as the service date, the vendor who did the work, and the service agent's phone number. You enter maintenance information on several pages:

Fixed Asset Card
Purchase Order
Purchase Invoice
Fixed Asset G/L Journal

Indexation is used to adjust values for general price-level changes. Use the Index Fixed Assets action to recalculate maintenance costs.

Record a maintenance cost directly on a fixed asset

Every time you do maintenance for an asset, such as a service visit, you can record it on the Maintenance Registrations page.

Choose the icon, enter Fixed Assets, and then choose the related link.
Select the fixed asset that you want to record maintenance for, and then choose the Maintenance Registration action.
On the Maintenance Registration page, fill in the fields as necessary. Hover over a field to read a short description.

Post maintenance costs from a fixed asset G/L journal

Choose the icon, enter Depreciation Book List, and then choose the related link.
Select the depreciation book that is assigned to the fixed asset, and then choose the Edit action.
On the Depreciation Book Card page, make sure the Maintenance checkbox isn't selected so that you don't post maintenance costs to the general ledger.
Choose the icon, enter FA G/L Journals, and then choose the related link.
Create an initial journal line and fill in the fields as necessary.
In the FA Posting Type field, select Maintenance.
Choose the Insert FA Bal. Account action. A second journal line is created for the balancing account that is set up for maintenance posting.

Note

Step 7 only works if you set up the following: On the FA Posting Group Card page for the posting group of the fixed asset, the Maintenance Account field contains the general ledger debit account and the Maintenance Bal. Account field contains the general ledger account to which you want to post balancing entries for appreciation. For more information, see To set up fixed asset posting groups.
Choose the Post action.

Record maintenance cost from a purchase invoice

The following steps describe how to record maintenance costs for a fixed asset from a purchase invoice. The steps are similar for purchase orders.

On the Lines FastTab, in the Type field, choose Fixed Asset.

In the FA Posting Type field, choose Maintenance.
Post the purchase invoice.
