Creating a new fixed asset card ===== New fixed asset card can be created as follows: * From the purchase document * From the expense document * From the stock depreciation document * From fixed assets register * By bulk importing fixed assets cards ==== 3.1. Creating a fixed asset card from the purchase invoice document ==== Enter the purchase invoice, select an asset account in the Account field, to which the acquisition cost of fixed assets must go. {{:et:triinp20220401-152800.png}} After confirming the purchase invoice, a ''New FA'' button will appear below the third dot at the top of the lines. By pressing the button, a new fixed asset card opens with pre-filled information that can be queried from the purchase invoice and which remains directly related to that purchase invoice. Data is added automatically if you select an account in the purchase invoice that matches the account for the asset class. **Accounts**: accounts are placed from asset class. :!: If at least one account is not specified on an asset card (tangible asset or intangible asset), the program will not allow any depreciation transaction to be made. Also applies to future asset cards. :!: If the quantity is bigger than 1 in the purchase invoice line, quantity of 1 is saved on the fixed asset card, because only 1 fixed asset can be on one card. Maintenance, location and insurance data are for information purposes only and can be used as needed. ==== 3.2. Creating a fixed assets card from the expense document ==== After confirming the expense, a ''New FA'' button will appear below the third dot at the top of the lines. By pressing the button, a new fixed asset card opens with pre-filled information that can be queried from the expense and which remains directly related to that expense. Data is added automatically if you select an account to the expense which matches the account for the asset class. {{:et:triinp20220331-121418.png}} ==== 3.3 Creating a fixed asset card from the stock depreciation document ==== After confirming the stock depreciation, a ''New FA'' button will appear in the end of the rows. By pressing the button, a new fixed asset card opens with pre-filled information that can be queried from the stock depreciation and which remains directly related to that stock depreciation. ==== 3.4. Creating a fixed asset card from register==== The Fixed Assets card can be created from the Fixed Assets register or from the Fixed Assets card. ''Finance > Fixed assets > Add new'' There is no pre-filled data on the manually created fixed assets card. ==== 3.5. Creating a fixed asset card from bulk import module ==== For large data amounts, it is convenient to use the bulk import module. Provides the ability to import a pre-formatted Excel spreadsheet with fixed asset card information into Directo and as a result, a corresponding number of fixed asset cards are created in Directo. Large data updates are also possible through the same module. Importing large data amounts, it is important to know that the type of asset must be given as a number in the prepared data table: 0 - low value asset 1 - tangible asset 2 - intangible asset 3 - written-off asset ==== 3.6. Entering a depreciated fixed asset card ==== :!: Use only when entering open balances. It can also be used when buying/adding a new company or department and it is necessary to add additional fixed assets with opening balances in the already operating Directo base. :!: Follow exactly the steps when entering open balances. ===3.6.1. Enter the Asset Date for opening balances=== If the ** previous depreciation amount ** is already known, when the fixed asset card is inserted, the depreciation date must be added to the system settings before it is inserted. Corresponding setting can be found ''Settings > System settings > Asset settings > Asset date for entering balances''. \\ For example, asset date for **entering balances** is **31.12.2021**. In this case, insert the date in the system settings. {{:et:triinp20220223-120856.png}} ===3.6.2. Fill in the asset card fields=== Fill in the start time, purchase price and depreciation on the fixed asset card. :!: Save the card and then add the depreciation sum, otherwise the depreciation will disappear, when saving the card for the first time. {{:et:triinp20220401-153736.png}} ===3.6.3. Delete the field Asset date for entering balances=== When the fixed asset tabs are filled in, return to the system settings and delete the previously marked date. ===3.6.4. Maintenance=== The last step is maintenance. ''Finance > Reports > Maintenance'' open maintenance and add dot to Robots box: {{:et:triinp20220408-083336.png}} If no date is entered, depreciation is saved with the current date and depreciation transactions can no longer be made in earlier periods. :!: If the system setting Asset date for entering balances is filled:\\ * the depreciation box on the asset card is editable * depreciation cannot be calculated * do not change the asset browser ===== 4. Asset card confirmation ===== Directo can be configured so that tangible and intangible asset type asset card must be confirmed if needed. Its purpose is to provide a more flexible process configuration option in situations, where is a time lag between the asset purchase and registration for an example and it is desired to be precise at the time of the transaction. Or someone has to validate it before registering the asset e.t.c. \\ * The fixed asset card confirmation creates a financial transaction. * The confirmation possibility (obligation) also means that depreciation is not taken into account for unconfirmed cards.\\ * Value corrections cannot be added to the confirmed fixed assets card. A new fixed asset card must be created for value corrections and the fixed asset code to which it is linked must be entered to the master cell. :!: Unconfirmed fixed asset cards are included in the Asset Depreciation and Asset List report. === 4.1. Confirmation setting === ''Settings > System Settings >Asset Settings '' are the following settings that affect asset confirmation * **Asset must be confirmed** - options **No, Yes** * **No** - the asset card does not need to be confirmed; * **Yes** - the asset card (tangible asset, intangible asset) must be confirmed so that it can be depreciated. * **Asset registration account** - account which is used on the credit side of asset registration transaction. It is necessary to add asset registration account suspense account to the account chart (Chapter 4.2. Use). If the asset confirmation requirement is turned on, a ** Confirm ** button will appear in the new asset header: {{:et:triinp20220331-155817.png}} :!: If the asset module has already been used and the assets have been depreciated, should be contacted with Directo Customer Support, if the asset confirmation feature is intended to take into use. Customer Support helps to mark assets in use as confirmed. Old cards independent confirmation creates also registration transactions, which would damage or clutter existing accounting. === 4.2 Confirmation use === == 4.2.1. Fixed asset is purchased with purchase invoice == Entering a purchase invoice is similar to creating unconfirmed fixed asset card, but the asset registration account is marked in the line of purchase invoice (4.1. Confirmation setting). Purchase invoice confirmation creates transaction, where the cost of fixed assets is posted: **debit- asset registration suspense account**. The cost of fixed asset does not immediately go to the fixed asset account, but remains on hold in the suspense account. This transaction takes place on purchase invoice operation date.\\ Fixed asset card can be created with corresponding button from purchase invoice or manually. If the fix asset card is filled in with important information (Creating a new fix asset card), the card can be confirmed by pressing **Confirm** in the asset card header. New opened window may ask for a number series into which to create a financial transaction. Transaction is made, which records the fixed asset in acquisition cost and credits the suspense account. Transaction is created with asset card calculation start date. == 4.2.2. Fixed asset is acquired with another transaction == Creating fixed asset card from **Expense** applies the same rules as creating the fixed asset card from purchase invoice. The asset registration account is marked in the corresponding line of expense.\\ The asset registration account is selected to document account when creating fixed asset card from **Stock depreciation** The fixed asset registration transaction is formed in confirming as follows:\\ ^Header^^^^^ ^Number^Type^Date^Description^^ | |'INV'|Fixed asset card Start date|'Asset '+[asset.code]+':'[asset.name]+' asset accounting'+' '+[asset.date]|| ^Rows^^^^^ ^Side^Account^Objects^Project^Sum^ |Debet|Fixed asset card Asset account|Card objects|Card project|Card purchase price| |Credit|From System settings 'Asset registration account'|Asset card objects|Asset card project|Asset card purchase price| {{:et:triinp20220406-104750.png}} After confirmation a corresponding transaction is created on the Fixed assets card tab **Activities** (Asset Confirmation): {{:et:triinp20220406-105006.png}} :?: The Fixed asset card can also be opened from the confirmation until no depreciation or other transaction that creates financial transaction have not been made. Card can be opened with **Document opener** under **Maintenance**. ===== 5. Fixed asset depreciation ===== Depreciation is calculated according to the method and rate marked on the fixed asset card. ==== 5.1. Depreciation methods ==== The following depreciation methods are used * Straight line * Diminishing balance * Units of production Depreciation is calculated on the **straight line method** by default. ===5.1.1. Straight line method=== Depreciation rate is calculated from purchase price by straight line method. <code> Depreciation = (purchase price-remaining value) / vara kasulik tööiga </code> **Example**:\\ Fixed asset with purchase price of 120,000 is depreciated at 20% per annum using the straight line method, depreciates permanently in 5 years (every year 24 000, every month 2000). ===5.1.2. Diminishing balance method=== With diminishing balance method the fixed asset base value decreases each year by the depreciation amount. \\ \\ **Example**\\ Fixed asset with purchase price of 120,000 is depreciated at 20% per annum using the diminishing balance method, is depreciated in the first year 24 000 (2000 in month), in the second year 19 200 (1600 in month) (20% 120 000- 24 000) etc. The Fixed Asset is never depreciated permanently with this method. ===5.1.3. Units of production method=== If depreciation is calculated by the unit of production method, then the annual depreciation percentage can not be entered in the fixed asset financial data, but a usage limit is set in the line "Units of production". Can be used calculating depreciation with proportion. Depreciation is calculated automatically by units of production method, if the usage limit number is filled and amort % under fiscal data change to 0. {{:et:triinp20220406-111120.png}} For example is used to depreciate a vehicle by kilometers, a production bench by hours and so on. Depreciation is calculated on a monthly basis. How much fixed assets have been used must be marked monthly. {{:et:triinp20220406-111250.png}} All usage limit and how much fixed asset was in use in this month are taken into account when calculating depreciation. According to this the depreciation percentage and the amount are calculated with formula: <code> (use per month / usage limit) * purchase price (160 / 10 000) * 200 000 = 3200</code> {{:et:triinp20220406-111801.png}} \\ Transaction {{:et:triinp20220406-113237.png}} ==== 5.2. Depreciation calculation ==== Depreciation transactions can be created after entering fixed asset cards. All the fixed asset cards must be filled correctly. \\ Depreciation can be calculated to all fixed assets in the fixed asset browser with button **Depreciate**. \\ {{:et:triinp20220401-133653.png}} \\ \\ Depreciation can be calculated to one fixed asset on fixed asset card with button **Depreciate**. \\ \\ {{:et:triinp20220401-134104.png}} \\ \\ From the opened window can be selected: {{:et:triinp20220401-134340.png?300 |}} * **Range**- transaction range in which the transaction must be made (usually comes automatically); * **Asset**- fixed asset code to which depreciation is calculated. Must be filled in if want to depreciate only one fixed asset. Must be left blank, if want to depreciate all fixed assets at the same time; * **Class** - depreciation can be calculated by class; * **Object** - depreciation can be calculated by objects or by object combinations class; * **Project** - depreciation can be calculated by projects; * **Month** - for which month the calculation and depreciation is created. :!: If the asset, class, object, project fields are left empty - depreciation is calculated to all fixed assets. Generated transaction will open after pressing the button ''OK'': {{:et:triinp20220406-124830.png}} The transaction is common to all fixed assets on one depreciation sheet. Depreciation transactions do not have to be made separately for each fixed asset. The depreciation and the current value change on the fixed asset card and the last depreciation transaction is displayed on the fixed asset card. The last transaction number is shown as a link in the document header, clicking on it will open the corresponding transaction: {{:et:triinp20220406-125127.png}} For example if the September and October depreciation is not calculated and November is chosen as the month for making the transaction, then the depreciation transaction is made with the November end date and the depreciation is calculated for three months. The transaction reference also shows that the transaction was made for three months: {{:et:triinp20220406-130857.png}} Depreciation cost is shown in the income statement only for the last month, when calculating several months depreciation at once, and the asset module reports can only be compared with the financial reports as of the end of the last month. :!: If the residual value of the fixed assets is 0 and a value correction is added to the fixed asset, then the start date of the calculation must be the 1st of the month to calculate the depreciation from the same month. If you want to start depreciation calculation from the next month, put the last date of the month. === 5.2.1.Estimated depreciation end time and last transaction === The FISCAL DATA tab on the fixed asset card shows the expected end of depreciation, the last depreciation date and transaction number. The depreciation transaction link opens in the fixed asset header. {{:et:triinp20220404-103448.png}} === 5.2.2. Depreciation can be calculated on the negative purchase price of fixed asset === - required using the gross grant method RTJ 12 (17) - within a group when assets are sold from one related party to another at a non-market price - other specific needs ===5.2.3. Depreciation rounding=== The depreciation rounding transaction is indicated by the system settings {{:et:triinp20220406-132215.png}} **Example - 0 decimal places** {{:et:triinp20220406-133723.png}} **Example - 1 decimal place** {{:et:triinp20220406-133812.png}} **Example - 2 decimal places** {{:et:triinp20220406-133911.png}} === 5.2.4. Periodized amortization === ''System setting ->Asset amortization will be periodized -> yes/no'' \\ allows to calculate depreciation for several months at a time and periodizes the financial transfer between months. \\ \\ If the fixed asset depreciation transaction is made for one month, the depreciation transaction is the same for both system settings. == 5.2.4.1. Periodized amortization== ''System setting ->Asset amortization will be periodized -> yes'' \\ Fixed asset depreciation for several months: * Every months cost will also be in a correct period in income statement, when calculating periodized amortization for longer period at once. * **The Depreciation report **shows the depreciation expense per month. * **The depreciation report ** is comparable to ** Balance sheet ** and ** Income statement **. ==Example == * Depreciation period 01.04 - 31.05.22 {{:et:triinp20220408-085603.png}} == 5.2.4.2. Non - periodized amortization== ''System setting →Asset amortization will be periodized → No''\\ The setting is required if the previous months are already locked and depreciation has not been calculated - then the full depreciation expense should be posted in the open period. * If depreciation is calculated for a longer period at a time, a financial entry is made for the whole period with the end date of the last month. * **In the income statement **, the entire depreciation transaction is in the last month. * **The depreciation report ** shows the monthly depreciation expense per month.. * **The depreciation report** is not comparable to the ** Balance Sheet ** and ** Income Statement ** in the intervening months. Balance sheets are correct at the end of last month. ==Example== * Depreciation period 01.06 - 31.07.22 {{:et:triinp20220408-090428.png}} === 5.2.5. Depreciation can be calculated either at the remaining value or at the end of the calculation === '' System setting "Asset amortization up to: "Remaining value"/ "End date" '' {{:et:triinp20220404-113810.png}} * **Remaining value** - depreciation calculation will be ended, when fixed asset residual value is equal to remaining value. * **End date** - if the __End date__ field is unfilled on the fixed asset card, no remaining value is calculated, but fixed asset is depreciated further until the residual value is 0. But if the end date is filled, no depreciation is calculated for the following months. ==== 5.3. Deleting the depreciation transaction ==== If the generated depreciation transaction is not suitable (wrong period was selected, some fixed asset was forgotten to be taken into account, etc), then the depreciation transaction can be very easily deleted and re-created. To delete, press the "Delete" button on the transaction. We answer "OK" to the program question, if we are sure we need to delete the transaction: {{:et:triinp20220404-125235.png}} ==== 5.4. Proportional depreciation ==== Allows to share depreciation cost between multiple object and/or projects at the same time over a given period. === 5.4.1.Setting the first proportion === * **Proportion**: number field * **Cost object**: object or list of objects with commas * **Cost project**: option of the project tab, the code is placed * **Start date**: validity start date * **End date**: validity start date Proportion % in numbers are entered in proportion tab to **Proportion** line. Number is placed automatically to the next row, so that total will be 100. * Proportion tab does not need to be filled in, if depreciation cost is not wanted to divide when creating fixed asset card. * Proportion can be changed on the fixed asset card until the first document related to this fixed asset is confirmed or depreciation is calculated. * Start date will initially be calculation start date. Start date can only be changed on CHANGE document. * Object and project are always taken from cost object and cost project field to depreciation and write-off accounts. \\ * If there is no proportion in the amortization transaction and the proportion is unfilled, i.e. the proportion is 100%, then the depreciation expense account takes object and project from cost object and cost project field on fixed asset card. * If there is proportion - (cost) objects and project are taken from cost object and cost project column to proportional amortization transaction. Rounding would go to a larger number. * If there is proportion - (cost) objects and project are taken from cost object and cost project column to proportional write-off transaction. Rounding would go to a larger number. \\ === Proportion example === The car is used in the sale and warehouse departments at the same time, and the cost is shared between 30% of the sales department and 70% of the warehouse department. {{:et:triinp20220408-100610.png}} If there is proportion - (cost) objects and project are taken from cost object and cost project column to proportional amortization transaction. Rounding would go to a larger number. {{:et:triinp20220408-102349.png}} ==== 5.5. Proportional write-off ==== Write-off is accelerated depreciation. If the depreciation is divided by proportions on the fixed asset card, the write-off transaction is also made taking into account the proportion. If write-off is wanted to transfer without calculating the proportion or to other objects, a CHANGE document is need to be done before, on which the proportional calculation is terminated and only after that the write-off is made. ==== 5.6. System setting - Asset history preview feature ==== If the system setting "Asset history preview feature" is enabled, is possible to create s.c. simulation transactions (only visible in the asset module) for depreciation calculation. Required '' System Settings -> Asset Settings '' *How many months ahead the Asset history is generated (number - in example **24** months) * Asset history preview feature - **yes** The fixed asset card shows the future of depreciation. === 5.6.1.Diminishing balance method- depreciation calculated in advance=== {{:et:triinp20220408-102734.png}} The activities tab shows the calculated depreciation. {{:et:triinp20220408-103820.png}} === 5.6.2. Straight line method - depreciation calculated in advance === {{:et:triinp20220408-104421.png}} The activities tab shows the calculated depreciation. {{:et:triinp20220408-105202.png}} === 5.6.3. Example - fixed asset history is generated 2 months ahead === If the system setting - fixed asset depreciation is generated 2 months ahead- in on, then * no financial transaction is created * asset history report shows one month depreciation in months generated ahead * if depreciation transaction is forgotten to create, the data in balance sheet and asset history report are not the same {{:et:triinp20220408-110445.png}} \\ \\ \\ =====6. Address on fixed asset and low value asset card===== ====6.1. Setting the addresses==== Addresses can be configured ''Settings -> Personnel Settings -> Departments''. Every address can have its own code. The address code ** location ** is placed on the fixed assets and small assets card. Enter the accuracy of the locations as needed. Use additional fields for location codes as desired. **Examples** : Company has departments in Tallinn, Tartu, Võru. * Location codes by city - TALLINN, TARTU,VORU * Location codes by address - MOISA_4 * Location codes by floor - MOISA_4_7k, MOISA_4_9k * Location codes by rooms (room numbers or names) - 01_ROOM, 02_ROOM ====6.2.

More fields of the location code can be displayed under the Fixed Asset card fine-tuning - ''Asset location additional info fields''. ===== 7. User management ===== Fixed assets can be linked to users with purpose to have an overview who owns or is responsible for the asset. Users are managed using the fields ** User ** and ** In charge ** on the asset main page or in the tab** Users **: {{:et:triinp20220404-155914.png}} ==== 7.1 Simple user management ==== Simple user management can be organized using the ** User ** and ** In charge ** fields. Persons from the Directo personnel register can be placed in these fields, who then will use or be in charge for the asset. :!: You can change the person codes on the fixed asset card with simple user management, but the data history will not remain and the reports will not be viewable. ==== 7.2 Detailed user management ==== More detailed user management can be done using the assets ** Users ** tab and the Employee Card **Assets**.\\ On ** Users ** tab in Fixed Assets card can edit and add rows to the ** Resources ** tab in Employee card. If the system setting ''The asset card is editable=NO'' is used, the user data can only be changed through an additional document [[en/capital_asset_change|Fixed Asset change

Type- asset type in Personnel module. Selection from the drop-down menu. Setup: Põhivara ja personali vahendite seos;

If user is added to the fixed asset card through Users tab, then it is immediately in the Assets tab on personnel card:

It is necessary to set the assets Types, in order to save assets lines to Assets tab in Employee card. A list of asset types is created Settings→Personnel settings→Data Types→Asset:

A list of asset groups is created to this table as we want to systematize them in the Personnel module. This list does not have to match to the asset classes list directly.
Rows without an asset type cannot be saved under Employee card assets. Read more in the Personnel Module Guide.

For Asset class is selected to, which personnel module asset type the given class corresponds to:

The fixed asset classes must be compiled in such detail, so that type comes correctly from class, if you want to use the fixed asset types on The Employee card.

Settings→System settings→Asset settings→Asset has one active in charge user: specifies whether there can be multiple end-dated rows in the Users tab at one time or not. In other words, can there be multiple users at the same time. Setting options: yes, no:

Yes- When a new user is added to the table, the previous user's row is “closed” and its end date is automatically set to one day less than the new user's start date: adding a new user to the table, the previous user's row is “closed” and its end date is automatically set to one day less than the new user's start date:

Only the last line can be edited and deleted (previous users lines are locked). If you delete the last line, the previous one becomes the active line and can be changed. Also the end date is removed from it.

No- all lines are freely editable. Except for required fields that must be filled (Type, User, Start date). This means that the asset has multiple concurrent users and the asset is on a several employee card.

Option user and in charge is intended for use, when the system setting Asset has one active in charge user=Yes is selected.

Specifies which field (user or in charge) on the fixed assets tab is updated automatically, when a new user is added to the users tab (the field is locked and cannot be changed manually). This means that the selected field (user or in charge) always has the currently active user or in charge user.

Option No relation is intended for use, when the system setting Asset has one active in charge user=No is selected, then the fields User and In charge can be changed freely.

ON TÄIENDAMISEL !!

The reports Asset list and Asset history can be taken by a valid user or in charge user. It means the reports take into account the user / in charge user that are on the asset main page.

Therefore, it is reasonable to turn on the system settings Asset and Personnel Relation so that the Users tab active user is also a valid user or a in charge user on the main page.

Asset actions codes are created to monitor different fixed assets actions.
For example, in the case of a purchase, the default code is “purchase”, the code can be changed before the first depreciation calculation or follow-up documentation is made.
Actions can be used in reports. Some activities appear on the asset card only through additional documents - Fixed Asset change, Low value Asset change, Fixed Asset recalculation, Asset write-off, Asset inventory.

Register allows to sort fixed asset cards, etc.

• Add new - opens new empty fixed asset card.
• Browse - entering the fixed asset code in the Open code box, opens the fixed asset card.
• Create depreciation transaction - calculates depreciation for all fixed asset cards at once.
• Update history - updates the fixed asset depreciation history - possible to check on the card whether the depreciation was calculated correctly (if wrongly, then it must be made to transaction, deleted it and correct it).
• Delete history - deletes fixed asset future periods depreciation transactions which are calculated using the “Asset History Preview feature” setting.

Buttons Update history and Delete history appear, when the asset system settings have been filled:

• Asset history preview feature - Yes
• How many months ahead the Asset history is generated - greater than 0.

If Update history is created with a future period date, then future period depreciation transactions are previewed on Asset history report, although no depreciation has been calculated.

Asset history report still shows future periods depreciation, if Update history is prepared for a future period. Press Delete history in order for the Asset History report to show only the actual depreciation.
