IMPORTANT CONCEPTS

  • Category: Select the type of asset it is.
  • Asset Type: Use the Space Bar to toggle between Asset and Income.
  • Period: Used to enter dates for the life of the asset. For example a new car may have a depreciation of 5 years. This period would be entered in the Period field.
  • Encumbrance Group: Is used if there is any money owing on an asset. This will allow the user to enter the details of the company that has the encumbrance and the amount of the encumbrance. If an asset has an encumbrance, this creates a liability record. The encumbrance Notes are the notes that will be displayed next to the liability.
  • Joint Owners: Any client contacts that were entered on the Contact tab will be displayed in the Joint Owners list. An asset can have joint owners.
