Feature Name: Asset Depreciation Entry
This feature allows you to post an asset depreciation entry for any purchased Fixed Asset Items that you have stored in one of your warehouses. It’s an essential tool for tracking the value of your assets over time.
How to Use the Asset Depreciation Entry Feature
Here’s the step-by-step process:
Step 1: Create Your Attachment File
The first step in creating a depreciation entry is to prepare an attachment file with the necessary details. Here’s what you need to include:
- Item Code: The code for the Fixed Asset Item that’s set for depreciation.
- Warehouse: The location where the item is currently stored.
- Qty: Leave this field blank for depreciation entries.
- Valuation Rate: The depreciated value of the item.
Once all relevant fields are filled in, save your file in .csv format for later upload.
Step 2: Upload Your Attachment File
Next, navigate back to the Stock Reconciliation feature in Empress and upload the .csv file that you’ve just created.
Step 3: Select Your Expense Account
The final step is to select the appropriate Expense Account for depreciation in the Difference Account field. This account will reflect the difference between the old valuation rate and the new, depreciated rate for the Fixed Asset Item.
And that’s it! By following these three simple steps, you can create a depreciation entry for any Fixed Asset Item in your Empress system.
