AssetManager Pro Online Help - Entering Asset Information
When you add an asset, you need to record all the information required to manage it throughout its life until disposal.
When you record a new asset you need to specify whether it is a header
or detail asset. Header assets are used to maintain a record of the
separate components—detail assets—that form part of a 'total' asset. For
both header and detail assets you need to record a unique asset ID and
name.
For example, you might have a header asset called 'Reception Computer
1'. This might consist of the detail assets '17in monitor', 'keyboard',
3-button mouse', and '56K modem'.
Each detail asset type must also be assigned to a specific asset group.
In this way, the asset will inherit the parent asset group's properties
including information such as default accounts to be used, and
depreciation methods and calculations to be employed.
You are also able to include information such as the location in which
the asset is stored, the cost centre to which the cost of the asset has
been allocated, the vendor from whom the asset was acquired, the
designated custodian of the asset, and any relevant service details.
As the asset ages you can view its history, print all of its details and
edit some details, such as service log, effective life and private
usage.
